i take it the h/u you bought is screwed in via 2 screws each side of the h/u
if thats the case it could be the screws to hold it in are too long and fouling on the mechanism
what adapter did you have to buy as a mk4 is a standard iso

Connect the lead (that is suppose to go to the handbrake) to an earth, this will allow you watch DVD's on the go.
