Door cards needed a little bit of adjustment to get the fuel flap switch in but other than that was ...

Re: .: Polo-mk3 - Quacky B5.5 :. - Backbox Deleted - 25-11-1

Re: CV boots

Just a generic boot will do, I get the cv joint kits from ECP and had no issues. The time it takes the change the boot you may aswell fit a new cv joint as well.

Re: indicator mirrors

You will need to run indicators wires to each door.

You can tap into the side indicators in each wing or tap into the back of the hazard switch

Golf mk4/bora and many others have the same part number and the only way to be 100% is to use vag-com and read the software code or make sure its out of the same car as your. Passat Estate and saloon have diffe...
