It's probably the switch, yeah. Them dying is pretty common. You can confirm it by swapping the switches over and seeing if the problem moves with them. It's pretty simple to do, you just need to remove the door card to get to the connectors, it's all fairly obvious once you're in there

You can only get away with 16s on a GTI imo. for one, they actually fit. And they look good with the wider arches. Not that I am biased at all... l

I thought they differed aswell due to the need to accommodate the GTI's wider track?

Yeah I got one from https://forums.clublupo.co.uk/index.php?/profile/47049-terexus/

I changed my drivers one maybe 6 months ago for an Ebay special. it's still good now, so for the money I paid I'm happy with it. It was pretty straightforward to change, think that's the video I used for reference aswell actually!

You decided to keep it then I'm assuming? Not sure how bothered you are about this but I used to have the wrong length wipers and they missed a spot at the bottom of the screen it annoyed the hell out of me! The wipers should be 21' and 19'. not 18' and 19'. You can get a twin pack which is what i use, search up Bosch A928S

Ordered one of these for my drivers door, as its been on the way out for a while 'No lights left on tone' 'car relocking after 30 seconds with the door open' which i could live with. But now the drivers door doesn't unlock with the fob which I can't be doing with so I'm finally replacing it. I've looked at a few golf tutorials, and i know about only loosening the lock retaining screw. So it should be pretty straightforward, right?

I follow you on Instagram, absolutely love those wheels. Suit the car beautifully

They look lovely

yeah they are. If you pull the centre dial out there is a little bulb behind it

I've stuck a Pioneer double din with Android Auto in mine, modernises it quite well I think. Not much more you need!

Had this problem on both my GTI's, both times I replaced the pack and the leads because the ends of the leads were corroded aswell.

The bushes along the bar that have those flat metal clips that you press onto the bush and then screw in, I have managed to get them back on in the end the times I've had to remove them but what an absolute nightmare they are to get lined up again, it takes forever! Is there a knack to it or some sort of trick to line them up easily? With new tougher bushes it feels almost impossible at times!

They are a straight swap, in fact my car had mk4 recaros in when i bought it! I think there's a very slight amount that needs grinding off the bottom so they will slide back and forward freely without catching on the carpet. But that's no hard job!

They are wired differently, I'm fairly sure there is a thread or a diagram on here somewhere that shows you what pins need swapping

Looks stunning, as always!

I just bought one off someone second hand, sorry!

Yeah it does. Replaced mine a few months back because it had been snapped off and was loose on one side

It's a damn sight nicer than the absolute dog on Auto Trader thats up for 7k!

Lemforder arms and mk4 golf R32 rear bushes for it is what I personally would go for

Does look smart that! looks well looked after, no doubt it will get more of the same treatment from you!

I'm sure i've seen on here somewhere that Bosch spark plugs don't play nice with the GTI and to use NGK ones. I'm not sure if that's still the case though I can't see why it would have changed!

I used one of these boys to get that collar off https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-12pcs-Bearing-Splitter-Gear-Puller-Fly-Wheel-Separator-Set-With-Box-Tool-Kit/263550520539?hash=item3d5cd5ccdb:g:2~MAAOSwKtBd0lfE Made light work of it!

Pretty common this. The loom for the boot attaches on the passenger side behind the plastic trim that surrounds the rear seats latch, just above the wheel arch. The connector for the rear wiper likes to disconnect there and spray the water all over the place. Best place to start looking!

Looks good! I feel like the rear needs to come down slightly though!
