pluggin it into vag com this weekend sooooo fingers crossed i won't need one!! are they hard to fit or?

depends which one

drivers side is a 5 minute job (20 if you include waiting 15 after you've disconnected the battery)

if its the
 seats urm its a difficult job though most likely the wiring under the seat that is the problem






how long a job rhyso  :evil: :evil:

I need to get hold a new plug for under my drivers seat!

Had it checked at the weekend and the wires under the seat are fooked!

Just don't know whether I can be bothered to spend £50 on a new plug!
