Why not buy a Mk4 PDC Kit from Cars-equipment.com CZ ?

Post by petrev »

Bought this kit - Nice price at €360 + post
OEM PDC / OPS Parking sensor system VW Caddy

Checked before purchasing
"Hi, do you have fitting and coding instructions for this kit, Thanks."

Reply
"Hi,
Yes"

Kit arrived with no instructions or coding info.

No Reply to email about lack of instructions !

Worked out wiring with help from forum members Image

List of physical issues with kit (in order of discovery)

1. Main loom has wrong plug for Caddy Mk4 Dash Switch
Had to purchase correct plug + wire up.

2. Incorrect Bumper mounting pieces.
Generic Skoda - Wrong angle, and too large base to fit on rear bumper.
Had to purchase correct fittings.

3. Incorrect Rear Loom supplied - Skoda Octavia 3.
Too short and not protected like Caddy genuine loom.

Spot the Difference

From my research - UK kits go from £436 (VAGTEC - web images show incorrect Mk3 kit so checking required) to £1194 (HazzyDayz inc. fitting) others available between these prices.

Hope to fit and do a How To in the nearish future ...

Just found that the Octavia rear bumper loom as well as being to short in the cabling dept, is wired from the left side of the vehicle. All the sensors are reversed left/right.
