The original owner of my 20th had some radio work done that ended up damaging one of the release tabs on the radio, so I found this method much easier than fiddling with the radio.

One of those mods I can definitely keep on living just fine without, but I spent about a week driving my dad's Sportwagen and once I hopped back into my car, using the comfort signals had become reflex and I had to remember I didn't have them. Nice feature in situations where it's difficult to hold the stalk in the lane-change position but also hectic enough you don't want to manual-cancel. Maybe more of an issue when driving manual than auto?

If anyone is looking at this, wondering if you can install this in a MK4 Jetta, yes you can! Just installed this in my 02 Jetta TDI. I didn’t take the radio and all that out, popped out the cover for the center vents and did everything there. Mine doesn’t have heated seats and an ESP button but the connectors are there for heated seats. I had to get creative with how to hide the wiring for this kit but I did get it back in there and all together.

So I’m having a problem with my mkiv GTI. I installed some led headlights into my car and started having issues. First off I started blowing fuses first was the headlamp fuses replaced them and they were fine. Then had my cluster lights go out that fuse was replaced now it’s fine but now my blinkers keep blowing fuses. I replaced the hazard switch because they stopped working all together but now with the new switch my left blinker works with no problem but as soon as I use my right blinker the fuse pops. Also in order for my left blinker to work the hazard switch has to be on the on position. I have removed the led lights because it obviously caused the problem from the start. Any info you may be able to help me with would be greatly appreciated. Sorry for the long comment.

I have to admit, this is one "feature" in my car that I disabled. In some situations, 3 flashes just isn't enough to complete the lane change...but sometimes, 5 is too much (I can select 3, 5 or 7 for some reason.) Whatever happened to just cancelling the flasher after changing lanes? It's not that hard. Or simply applying a little pressure with your pinkie to activate it as long as you want without clicking it fully into the "on" position? More often than not, I find this feature to be either unnecessary or more trouble than it's worth...assuming you want to actually indicate throughout the lane change, instead of having it turn off when you're halfway through.
@nos10001006 жыл бұрын
I think some states require you to have the turn signal flashing for the entire duration of the lane change, turn. I believe this will make the car fall out of compliance in those states
@aussiebloke6096 жыл бұрын
As far as I know, that's the rule in most places, if not everywhere. I was taught it should go on at least 30 yards before actually turning or changing lanes...and not turn off until the maneuver was completed. I figure a flash or two _before_ I start changing, so I'm actually warning people of what is going to happen, rather than doing it as it happens (I figure by that time, they can see that I'm in the middle of a lane change.) But people are lazy these days and you're lucky if you get a flash or two when they're already halfway into your lane. Or the flasher goes off before they actually cross the line and you're not sure if they've changed their minds or are still going to continue changing lanes. Either way, it kinda defeats the point of warning other traffic before it happens.

The only issue with the Passat brakes is the rotors are soft. This makes for noise, or a little faster wear. I don't think it needs any upgrade at all.

HumbleMechanic thank you for the feedback! How about to change the tires from 16” to 17” is that something good to add or no?

HumbleMechanic for the brakes I was thinking to get 2 pistons and a bigger rotors! Do you recommend a specific brand and how much cost do u think that would be?

hey! i'm trying to add some mods to my vw bora 2008 (brazil), and i one day wondered if it's possible to add this comfort feature and a sound relay? i mean, that type of relay that beeps instead of tick-tick, hahah got it? another thing i'm trying to do is to install the cruise control on this very same car... but i couldn't find the correct wires on my ECU plug to insert the new wires in... any suggestions?

Most cruise systems I’ve seen added were not from vw.

I always wanted someone to do a video on this. Thanks, Charles! I'll be adding this to my '03 GTI shortly. I also notice that your glove box has the tab broken where it mounts under the radio (like they all seem too.) I don't think that screw/tab is necessary though, do you?

I’ve seen many cut. I don’t like it. The console comes out easy

I got 2005 audi a6 3.2 , start trans issue, go limp mode. Dropped trans pan low oil, only 1 qt found, i did fill out 5qt. Long story made short. Car is fine now. What others place than the trans pan this transmission will leak?.

What depining tool you used in the video? I don't really want to buy the whole tool kit, was it AT15? And this komfort kit also works on Passat B5.5 even tho it says its fo Mk4?
