Fitted this today. Worked first time and now have working flappy paddles and a flat bottom steering wheel. Very happy, and all thanks to the info in this forum.

Awesome. Would love to add the flappy paddles to my van.

Not my van and not sure if I should have put it in the California section but seen in Christchurch, Bournemouth today...

Hope the Wheels are Ok

Unfortunate name for a Social Club.

Nice graphics on the van though.

Top notch! I’d have been very proud of that one!!! Pmsl here

Be grateful I’m away with family in an area of piss-poor signal!!!

Set a little 250v hook up mainly for at home to charge batteries & bike after work and be handy for the odd camping trip

Choice of cable colour is probably not the best unless you’re stealing the neighbours electricity.

Did you get a bulb error light?

No

It’s SY cable which has bit more protection than a standard flex and also quite stealth if I do need to steal and electric anywhere

Great use as it gives a bit more protection

Spent a day fitting a new steering wheel cover. Could have done it quicker but took my time figuring out how to get the leather beneath the wheel trim both at the front and rear. It’s a bit tricky but I think looks good and feels/looks better than the worn original. Before and after photos.

Neat job! Well done

 

[Bigsidavies]

I already have one fitted, no issues with mine though.

I think that mine is also not fitted very well (by me) as I took all the tape backing off first then it’s nearly impossible to fit it with the front lip aligned correctly without the rest of the tape catching on the bumper top.
I’ll do it better when I refit it.

Front mudguard fitting kit, anyone help with numbers for these please?

The rubber bung that holds the bumper on the outside has come out.

Thanks all.

If it’s part of the mudguard kit then don’t think you will have any luck getting it as a separate part ?

Thanks @Pauly, any chance of getting the size of the rubber lugs which form part of the kit? Thinking may try to get them separately from a none VW source? Are they M4 etc?

They look like these on Amazon

 

[j4ckal]

Yeh they are just rubber well nuts. The ones that came on my vanstyle ones (same as oem I assume) pulled out too easy. The bolts are only small dia. something like m4 or m5.
I think I may of binned them, I'll have a look in garage and will measure them if I didn't
