thanks mate, anyone have any idea where i can get the cover for the sliding door in Australia?

[horace01]

Don't think you can. I couldn't even get one from VW so just got one from RAD in the UK.

[asr_933@hotmail.com]

Got mine straight from VW mate. Just buy the cover not the rail despite what VW tell you, you don't need it.

[ben_faulkner]

i found these part numbers, i guess these must be the sam ein Oz?

You need a cover and the parts number is:

Right side:2K0 843 796 A
Left side: 2K0 843 795 A

Then you need the rail too and the parts number is:

Right side: 2K0 843 872 G
Left side: 2K0 843 871 J

You don't need a rail. Save yourself some money, just make a clip from the black plastic cover at the back of the rail that you have to remove to put the new rail cover on.

[ben_faulkner]

just putting this here for my own reference.

left rail price is $150
left rail cover price is $180

anyone know the product codes for the new rear lights?

Good to see some Aussies on here.. Planning on doing an Ecu remap and few other bits n pieces

[ben_faulkner]

welcome mate, let me know how you get on with your ECU, want to get mine done as well. had some wildly different quotes and not really sure what to go with.

where in sydney are you?

[Chuppamello]

Yeh mate I'm from East Sydney around Bondi

will do will probably go with dna seems to be a fit and forget type of thing

My other car had a Revo tune and took ages to get the settings just right but then again that was a stage 2+ not a stage 1

Thinking about hooking up my vag com cable and changing a few settings - first will be the indicator having it blink for 3 times auto is pretty handy rather then having to hold the stick down

If u have any other tweaks feel free to let me know

Hey guys,

Another Aussie here. I live down near Cronulla (Sydney).

I'm in the process of trying to sell my caddy, so I'm not sure how much longer I'll be active on here for.

Side Cover - Don't bother with the new rail, just the side cover is enough and then bolt it in place in the front and get a clip for the back.
Golf Seats - I just got some longer high-tensile bolts (Bunnings) and cut some steel spacers with a hole in the centre to raise the front by about 25mm. I did have to drill new holes to mount the front bolts as the rails are narrower on my golf seats (2012 Golf R 3door). Also needed to grind off some locating tabs on the bottom of the rails
