Looking back I bought a generic brand one off eBay for my boot in 2019 for £3.95, seller not around anyone, but it’s still working fine and no errors.
I would just buy one and cross your fingers, it’s so low voltage unlikely to cause issues.

I get a small amount of condensation in my headlights when the weather is cold. Thought id try this to see if I can stop it. I bought some sachets of silica desiccant and.affixed some the inside of the access cover with double sided tape. Will it work? No idea, but I will report back.

You might find the car on VW’s website https://www.volkswagen.co.uk/en/new/available-stock-locator/gsl-plp.html?adobe_mc_sdid=SDID%3D4AB7137510455DD3-5E8A3E8BCF1ABC94%7CMCORGID%3D1D59171B520E91320A490D44%40AdobeOrg%7CTS%3D1762349896&---=%7B%22new_available-stock-locator_gsl-plp_featureappsection_18%22%3A%22%2Fsearch%2Fcars%3FpageIndex%3D1%26t_manuf%3DBQ%26t_reserved%3Dfalse%26t_model%3DBQAK%26t_smod%3DBQAKKU%26t_smod%3DBQAKHO%26t_smod%3DBQAKKY%26t_smod%3DBQAKIY%26sort%3DPRICE_SALE%26sortdirection%3DASC%22%7D

It would be worth signing for finance if that gives you further discounts and then settle up once delivery is taken. See if the “fantastic fortnight” deals apply if ringing this coming week. Good luck Valentino

I fixed my vents last week but managed to do it from inside without removing the bumper. Its been a wet week and the boot is still dry.

For those who prefer the Vienna leather seats I think that the leather steering wheel fits better. What do you think?

But for the standard seats, the alcantara wheel is awesome.

You’d be mad to spec the leather. It’s the same leather you can spec in any GTI. And not particularly nice looking nor great quality. The cloth seats are unique to the 50. The only plus with leather is you also get the electric/memory function but you pay a handsome premium for it.

And the front seats are also cooled.

Damn! When does the model year ends? July?
