Fantastic. Battery tray looks neat

Goodies goodies goodies. Liking the dials too, always fancied a set in the place of where the radio goes. Need to get myself down the scrappies to rob an Audi. Hope you got the loom and senders too.

Be interested to see how you tackle the hydro conversion. I blow hot and cold on the idea but I'm on a major budget just now so thinking I'll stash my CDA 'box away for a bit.

And use the SEAT adaptor doda? I've heard mixed reviews about them and how difficult they are to source, but that may well just be general nay saying as per usual. So I'll be even more interested to see how you tackle this problem

yer apparantly i need to go to SEAT get the cable guide? and i need another part then the gear box is finished as i have a new clutch cable..

At the end of the day if it works it will be cheaper than the mk3 setup and easier to replace parts

Key is not to get it there in the first place Nitrile gloves or failing that, thinners will get the worst of it off.

Good work so far, I have part numbers if you want for the SEAT clutch actuator etc?


Needs some update pic's dude.
