original bee sting aerial

[edd16v]

Hi,

I've got a j plate mk2 that has an original bee sting aerial on the roof. The rubber gasket around the bottom has broken down and fallen apart. I have been to VW to get a replacement and was told I could only buy the whole base of the aerial.

So I bought the base went to fit it today and the VW aerial in my mk2 has two connetors coming out iof it and the new one from VW has only 1 conntetor which doesn't fit either of the connectors on the car.

Does anyone have the part number for the original two wire beesting fitted to the late mk2?

Also does anyone know what the second wire is, one wire is a standard aerial fittment, the other looks like it could be an earth cable?

Thanks

Edd

Can a 16v one be fitted to a 8v? drilling a hole aint a problem just running the wires?

The wires are both black, one is obviously an old aerial cable, you know the fat shielded type of aerial cable. The other is black and just looks like standard electrical cable.

One will be an earth wire chap. Best thing to do (pain in the butt of a job) is to take the back part of the headlining down. You will fine that this is held in by plastic screw type things, carfeully prize them out then follow the wires, well you should see one of them earthed to some point within a few inches, it was on my old 16v MK2. The other goes into the headunit. Whereabouts are you?
