Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

  • VW Vento MK3 Retrofits

    Hello there,
    I've got a Vento 1.8 GLX and I want it to have every single option that these cars came with. Can you please tell me what options I'm missing and how to mount them. On the dash board I only have the "heated rear windscreen" button, in addition, it's quite annoying as I've got so many buttons/options missing. I only know that there were vento's that came with heated seats, AC, electric mirrors and windows.

    Welcome to the forum and Mk3 ownership.

    If you can get your hands on a VW owners manual for the Vento, many of the extra feature are detailed there, some other optional extras (in addition to the ones that you have already noted) that I can rattle off the top of my head are:

    - cruise control
    - luxury radio head unit with six-stacker CD player
    - central locking
    - engine immobilizer
    - variable intermittent windscreen wipers
    - sunroof
    - foglights
    - ABS
    - airbags (drivers and passenger)
    - closing and locking glovebox
    - cup holders (I believe these were only ever available in US left-hand drive versions but can be modified to work on RHD versions)
    - level adjustable headlights
    - rear door speakers
    - velour/leather seats
    - leather sports seats
    - boot-lid spoiler
    - mudflaps
    - side skirts
    - chin spoiler
    - mag wheels
    - smoked/clear indicator/brake lights
    - roof racks
    - towbar
    - first-aid kit
    - emergency/breakdown warning triangle
