Not good mate. There's no hold in the firewall, no brackets on the inside of the firewall and the whole heater box needs to come out.. Bigger job then the engine swap :/

mmm... read this thread - coons88 did a mk4 dash into a mk3, so i would guess there is not much he wouldn't know. looks like it has a 1.8t in it as well.
So it's all running, only problem is I got no power windows :/ the lights on the drivers panel and the button on every door isn't lighting up.. Any idea's?

Car is off the road again. Alternator stopped working and now got flat battery and the alternator is to hard to get too. Got my old one which is the same but I need to lift the motor up a bit to get to the alternator on the gti.
To be honest after the past 3 weeks I'm really annoyed that it's off the road again

Heartbreaking mate, or you can take the front off the car...
Check your alternator is the issue... At least you have a spare.
Is it your old battery or a new one?
Fairly new battery. Alternator is black no and was smoking a little. We got it off without taking anything else off the car.. Just took time and a bit more effort..
Just need help now working out why I've got no power to the windows or the side mirrors.. None of the door controls on any door work. Yet the door locking buttons on the drivers door work.. :/

Alt is easier if you just remove the throttle body, tons of access then

All that stuff is in the comfort control module. Did you have any issues with yours Stan? Did you leave the 1.6L (1 plug) one installed?
