Haha bit of a cheeky title but here goes... Spotted these on eBay and thought I'd take a gamble.

The seller was brilliant - really good communication and faultless transaction.

Here's some pics please let me know what u think :)

Cheers fella, think they improve the standard aircon unit a bit a make it a bit more upmarket. £12.99 off eBay seem really decent quality too ill post a link if anyone's interested :)

Was looking at these myself the other week actually. Now im really tempted :D How easy where they to fit mate? Do the original ones just pull off?

They look nice and more upmarket than the standard ones. Very Golf-ish!

Easy to fit?! Yeah if you've got a good grip haha they just pull off and new ones push over top however they will need some glue or something because the fit is accurate but not perfect so they come off easy so a dab of carefully placed glue and they'll be perfect :D not glued mine just yet wanted to get some feedback first

Not a fan tbh - but it does clean up the fascia rather nicely. :)

Hello frank,

I just have purchased some knobs for my aircon... my question is when you took off the original ones did they had like a transparent tube in the back or they were plane?

Also i know you have put pictures of the new ones.. but did those had a tube in the back or the were plane?

When i took my original ones seems to be plane with no plastic tube in the back. and it left a transparent shiny plastic where the knob was with the red led in the middle..

Thank you for your reply.

Raul

Are these the ones? Looks like they originally fit a 9n, and a few other models. They look great! Nice find :)

EDIT: the ones I linked are not from the same seller as the OP, but they look like the same product shipped from the same country.

Look forward to getting these on my 9n3! I expect two weeks delivery times though :( How long did you wait franko?

Yeah he does different versions for diff polos think mine was just under a week! Which was decent :) I'm impressed with the "feel" of the knobs the textured edge is nice.

Do the Golf Mk6 knobs fit ?
or are they different size altogether?
