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,

  • Mk4 GTI windscreen / rain sensor ?

    Hi All,

    I've got a cracked windscreen and there is $100 difference between a replacement with and without rain sensor.

    How do I tell if my GTI as a rain sensor ?

    thanks,

    The sensor is in the base of the rear view mirror (the gel pad part that connects to the windscreen).

      GTI's didn't come with rain sensing wipers in Australia. R32's and maybe Bora V6 did.

      As above, the sensors are part of the rear view mirror and they have a power cable (in conduit) that connects to the headliner area. A GTI mirror won't have this.

            For reference - Able Windscreens in sydney - $250 installed at my place. Chinese windscreen , but it is laminated and you can see through it
