Yeah it looks like a total Cnut of a job. Watched a video on YouTube of one being done on a mk4 golf wich is same as mine. Mine is air con aswell.
I just don't want to fcuk my car up by doing it wrong. Its a complete centre console and dash out job.
I'm in Dunstable.
Am willing to pay and help with the job for somebody to do it. May be able to muster up a couple of hundred notes in a couple of weeks. How much you recon they would charge at VW?

Bought one of them plug in car heaters that stuck to the dash today. It don't do sh!t. Total wast of £12

As long as you Give yourself a full day, it's not that hard. Very time consuming and lots of awkwardness, but you are more than capable of doing it yourself mate. Just label any plugs that you pull out of the dash for reference when you put it back together. Also remember to bleed the cooling system afterwards.

i no what im like though. i will start to get the ars with it after a wile and start being abit heavy handed.
i will end up breaking things

Mate take it on, record what you're doing, post it up in the maintence section 
Don't forget to take pictures of messed up hands to show us you actually did the job yourself fella 
Luton is a bit far for me

Big job but doable. I wouldn't fancy doing it
