nickpolo, you got a 51 plate haven't you

yup

i wounder if it was standard on the 51 plate models Mines 51 plate (registered 2001, September i think) was that the last year for this model

I want auto wipers and a dimming mirror wonder if there easy to get fitted.

I do have a Sun roof and Climate control tho. I think mines an oldy, registered March2000 W reg.

every gti is different lol

the auto dim and auto wipers were never standard.

i suspect if you wanted them you'd need a new windscreen as it is different, plus a new wiper stalk, new mirror, and wiring

I asked once, a long time ago, about retro-fitting the dimming rear-view mirror. I think it can be done by sourcing the mirror from VAGparts or a scrappy, but it all needs wiring up and testing so I think it was looking like a three-figure job in the end...

Found my old topic here, from April 2004!

Incidentally, I've got a pre-alignment car so have manual AC and a sunroof

Ah sod that then. spending too much at the mo. Suppost to be saving for a house.

same here have bugger all money as we bought our first place in november, never knew how much there was to pay each month

Sounds silly, but how do the washer jets heat up?

just a couple of wires leading to the nozzles under the bonnet, presumably they warm a small area, like the rear of the heated mirror glass, and this ensures that they're not frozen when you use them

Right i have 5dr gti xplate sep 2000

It has

manual ac
electric sunroof
autodim rear mirror
fancy wiper thingy
plus usual gti trimmings

can i change to climate control easily????

nope, climate control requires a hell of a lot of different wireing etc

so more wires, but can i do it ?

anything can be done if you've got enough time and money
