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,

  • GTI seat wiring different

    I'm swapping my leather drivers seat from my '05 Mk5 for a slightly newer one from another Mk5, although I'm not sure what year.
    I had the old seat out and the newer one resting in position while I connected up the wiring.
    It seems the yellow connector is slightly smaller so I can't connect that one at all and the wires are different colours.
    Then on closer inspection, the larger black connector has a different configuration to the original, with only four wires instead of six.
    Any thoughts or suggestions on why this might be so?
    My suspicion is after the first incarnation of the Mk5 they slightly modified the connectors.
