New style ACC sensor to Pre FL Gti
« on: 27 October 2017, 17:40 »
Anyone know if the new style badge ACC set up can be fitted to spread FL car. Reason I'm asking as I've just had a suicidal pheasant run out in front of me at 60mph and it's kind of  ruined the front end look. Lower grill is smashed ACC is fine but the bracket and more importantly the legs it fits to the cross member is bent. Air con condenser is bent but isn't losing gas at the moment. I'm looking at approx £1500 quid to repair but this may be less if once stripped down it doesn't need other air con bits. Oh and the outside temp sensor has disappeared too, hopefully up the pheasants back side! I asked the master tech if it was possible to fit the new style ACC set up and he said no one had asked before. So I'm asking you chaps and chapesses.

I think the new sensor is technically different and also the actual controller and the output to the information display...

I would not think its possible.

If it was, you would need to change I believe bonnet (front grille badge is larger so bonnet is different), front bumper etc it would not be anywhere near cost effective.

Feck me Chris, how big was the pheasant and how fast were you driving? Are they that soft?

I think the badge is the same size. It's quite expensive itself at just over 100 quid. Not sure about wiring as the standard sensor has a heating element in it and the newer style one doesn't.
