musho007 Posted November 17, 2018 Report Share Posted November 17, 2018 What battery is a decent replacement? Bosch S4? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LR5V Posted November 17, 2018 Report Share Posted November 17, 2018 Yes - Bosch S4 or S5 good batteries - I grabbed the S5 out of my old golf that had been parked up for 3 years, gave it a charge and its working great. If you have a Costco near you -Just checked, they dont seem to be in Ireland? - they do Bosch batteries at a good price year round - no seasonal inflated price as winter comes about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted November 17, 2018 Report Share Posted November 17, 2018 I bought a 2.0 MK3 and it had a new halfrauds battery in it so I bunged that in and it has been fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted November 18, 2018 Report Share Posted November 18, 2018 Nah, bought it with no mot. Took the colour concept seats out. Passed MOT (guy must have been blind to miss the holes) sold for profit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted November 18, 2018 Report Share Posted November 18, 2018 Actually it was a black one. Although if you want to go this path I had a salsa green one many years ago, by far the best colour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LR5V Posted November 18, 2018 Report Share Posted November 18, 2018 thats what I had in my valver with Mk3.5 convertible heated seat switches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted November 18, 2018 Report Share Posted November 18, 2018 So only the heated seat switch lit up red? I did all of mine and I used the LEDs from a gamma headunit to make the display on the clocks blue. Crap because you have to desolder the LCD screens.

Yes - I had all the other switches as well - all oem red back lights. Dash was a bit crap, they were cheap Red LEDs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
