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.

  • Mk4 Items Required

    Hi guys

    Just posting this on behalf of a friend of mine. He's looking for a few bits for his Mk4 GTI...

    1) Mk5 rear wiper arm and blade if possible (the short stubby one)
    2) Short Stubby Ariel
    3) Alpine Head Unit that allows me to plug in my ipod (iphone 4)

    Anyone know where he might be able to pick up these bits? Any help would be awesome!

    Cheers!

    ecstuning.com sells the stubby aerial and polo wiper conversion.

    OEM / Performance Parts for Audi, BMW, Mercedes Benz, Mini, Porsche & Volkswagen - ECS Tuning
    Volkswagen Golf IV 2.0 > Exterior > Wiper > ES&#35;3353 Polo Aero Rear Wiper Kit - 6Q6955707AKT

    Dub Addiction (a sponsor of the forum) sells the stubby aerials too ...

    Reviews: OEM Sharan Antenna Replica - $26.95 : Dub Ad·dic·tion [duhb uh-dik-shuhn]

    edit: ecs links say mk4 golf 2.0 litre, but it's the same stuff for the GTI.

    Cheers.

    P.S. With the rear wiper, you could take it in another direction with the Avant rear wiper mod.

    I haven't shared mods pics in awhile, and noticing that Duan has yet to do this on his R32 it prompted me to snap some photos and share with the others. It's quite a simple and fairly inexpensive mod, and makes the rear look much nicer, IMO. There are several rear wiper arms that work, the easiest to find is that from the B6 A4 Avant. The new B7 one may work too, not sure. I can get the part numbers and post them for those interested. Total price is around $40-50.


    Looks awesome and the rotating washer/sprayer nozzle is just class.

      pretty much as above.
      For the headunit, depends how to want to play the music through. AUX or full speed ipod? do you want full control and display on the headunit?

        Hi Dylan ideally through the full speed ipod and display on the head unit with full control.

          Online you could try RYDA.com.au - Great Prices on Car Audio, Mobile Phones, Digital Cameras and GPS Navigation - they seem to be pretty competitive price-wise - not sure if they do Alpine but they do other major brands.

            Ive had a pioneer one i picked up from JB a few years ago. paid a fair bit for it then.
            I love it. Does movies also (great for when your sitting in a carpark waiting to pick someone up etc)
            Cant remember the model number sorry, but this is what it looks like.

              Thanks for the replies guys. He's stoked! That Audi wiper looks the sh*t! Nice unit Dylan, but I think he wants a simpler setup.

              But I'll get him to post pics as he goes.
