Whoever got the wheels before me, we aren't friends. But I was slacking so its fair lol Still got us a really nice new center console for the wagon so it wasn't a wasted trip.

[@micahfernandez3155]

Had a soda dump down the entire center console on my MK4 a couple weeks ago. Now looking for that console. Good find!

[@Rasmus230100]

I don’t know what it is, but watching junkyard videos is nice. Fun to see different specs and such

[@rcflyer2000]

Glad to see you have found and added the later style center console with the 3 cup holders 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 I also this in my 02 wagon it makes a big difference to have large drinks in it while driving 🏁

[@mlies37]

I drive a ‘98 Mk4 and can confirm the slide-out cupholders are an absolute menace. I really need to start looking for this center console for it cause bro I feel your pain, it’s happened to me more than once

[@Mk3Smith]

I’ve had it happen several times 🥲 you just watch it fly in slow motion and then explode haha

[@JoelCaseyJonesMusic]

I had the dash one in my first mk4 golf I got in 2004… never again. So many exploded drinks. Now my 3 Mk4s all have the cupholder console and the dash cupholder removed so it’s not even an option.

[@cbaumy3415]

Had the same problem when I swiped in a cupholder console. I bent mine but ended up throwing in an anniversary edition e brake that fit even better. Great video man!

[@Mk3Smith]

Yeah I was able to bend mine over a bit and it works. Still a little snug but it works. I’ll probably go back and grab the correct one from that golf. Small little difference you’d never realize till you try and swap the console 😂

[@JoelCaseyJonesMusic]

Cupholder console and armrest is the master race….

[@Dbbs3bg]

I remember when I first started to watch your videoes, when you got that first green golf 4. Youve accomplished some really cool projects! I was so inspired that I even got rid of my Skoda and bought a Passat b5.5 1,9tdi 4motion, all about the vws. Keep up the good work!

[@joshpeacock7965]

Surprised you hadn’t swapped this centre console in earlier. The base of the e-brakes of the cars with this console are skinnier allowing them to fit better and have the bend in them obviously. One thing to watch out for is the models with the 4 spoke fake leather wheel(like the tdi from this video) also have a fake leather e-brake so you might want to look out for a car with a genuine leather wheel to match your interior better. Loved the video as always. Better luck next time on the junkyard BBS finds🙌

[@Zukunftretro]

Cupholder console is a must have! Remember to get the handbrake too, as it's angled a bit from the older console. I'm currently at 9 OEM cupholders in my Bora variant, but I know how to get it to 11, but requires me to get rid of my MFD 😅

[@Mk3Smith]

Yeah I’ll have to go back for the proper ebrake I figured that out haha and 9??? That’s a lot 😂😂

[@moritzdo8305]

That video was kinda a banger! Love the cupholders and sad to not see the wheels in your shop.

[@golfplatz123]

You've caught a really cool piece for the wagon. Awesome ✌️😎👌👌👌

[@jesperandersson9841]

Nice too se you are a human to 😁 great video 👌 Sold my last Golf 3 Cabrio VR6 i build by myself. “ did build 2 cab VR6 “ now today I’m going to get my first mk 5 R32 🙏😁 Lovely Friday too you all VW enthusiast out there 🤙

[@mk4vr6dadwagon99]

I take medication for that! 😂 but I also have days like that , every little thing sets you off. Wagon is on point🤘🏼

[@Eurojunkjon]

Love the shirt man, I need one of those. Took the harli out for its first drive yesterday can’t wait to get it completed. Keep the content coming

[@Mk3Smith]

I’m gonna be honest I don’t even remember where this shirt is from 😅 but I love it! And that’s awesome you brought it out🎉

[@scottpeters1142]

You need the ebrake assembly with that center console, they are slightly different

[@Mk3Smith]

Yeah Idk how I didn’t notice when I had them side by side. I made my current ebrake work but it’s still a little tight. I’ll probably go back and grab the correct ebrake handle for it

[@scottpeters1142]

@@Mk3Smith I'm sure it'll be there. Once the console's gone the e-brake handle just looks like any other e-brake handle. If it is missing let me know. I have a few extras. I grab these consoles with the e brakes anytime I find them, but some of the consoles are a little worse for wear, so I tend to have a surplus of the correct e-brake handles

[@SmallMacaroni100]

My wagon has the gas door button in the center console 😊

[@Mk3Smith]

My bora had that! But since the black wagon is an early 01 it’s got it in the door.

[@RickGTI2019]

In another life, I too, was a junkyard dog. Nice find, looks good. Thanks, RickGTI…..

[@thimoroelofs]

14:10 I feel you 😂

[@bryanmauroner3347]

Hey Christian MK3 guy here and Volkswagen nut 😊 Just stopping bye to give a proper ✌️

[@Mk3Smith]

Much appreciated ✌🏼

[@carlosgolg3vw]

Muito legal encontrar peças diferentes para usar no carro very good bbs two parts, it will be cool when you find it

[@jadeleealexander9893]

youtube removed your videos from my algorithm... now I have to go onto your channel to see your videos instead of it popping up on my recommended videos

[@captain_morgan213]

That’s fire bro

[@Mk3Smith]

KZbin does the most random things and I just don’t get it. Glad you’re still here though!

[@markferguson598]

That's pretty funny. The guy that you were talking to at the junk yard is my buddy Brad from Ontario Canada.

[@Mk3Smith]

Is he really?? That’s amazing 😂 super nice guy. Such a small world lol

[@FrenchJohn]

Sometimes, things like that happens for whatever reasons and you feel like burning the whole care but hey…. Gotta keep your 🆒🤣🤣🤣🤣 - I have cup holders on my arm rest. Apparently, it was an option in the US. But I’d LOVE to have a US center console with the cup holders

[@williamtrask3348]

The ebrake handle cover is thicker on earlier models you should have just needed the cover for the ebrake handle

[@vw_beetle_dave]

I’d love the same centre console for my mk4 bora more cup holder for the win. Great video as all ways

[@mustangmaniac1983]

I've got a couple of spare consoles for sale.

[@Brandonhere1018]

I feel your pain. Also wanted to set my car on fire after trying to swap over the center consoles. wish I could’ve warned you before hand lol. I ended up going back to the junkyard to get the whole ebrake handle. The mounting bracket is a bit angled just for the stupid cup holder. But worth the swap. Cables are the same. I was hyped for you to find those bbs wheels ! Next time

[@Mk3Smith]

Haha yup lots of frustration 😂😂 I wish I would have noticed it was slightly different but it’s all good. I made mine work but I’ll probably go back and get the correct one so it’s perfect.

[@CorradoRacer]

Grab that Trans, thing 5th tdi is great

[@JoelCaseyJonesMusic]

Thinking of swapping in the TDI 5th gear when I pull my trans to replace the throwout bearing, drop in a SMF conversion, and VR6 clutch… not sure how much work it is but I like the idea as the stock 5th on the gasser 02J is just too many RPM for my liking at highway speeds (let alone letting her rip…)

[@charlberries1407]

That steering wheel will look nice in the wagen

[@faith2817]

The europe center consoles have two cup holders for the back seats under the ashtray, they extend out like the one in the dash. Only the cheap basic models didn‘t get them, so i wonder why don‘t u have them? The cupholders are one part that can be retrofitted in the old console.

[@aubreybush5287]

I had hot coco fall out of my center console cup holders in my gli lol

[@Mk3Smith]

Oh that sounds like a nightmare 🥲🥲

[@aubreybush5287]

@@Mk3Smith yeah had to shampoo carpets

[@ajrveedub]

I have the same cup holder mate its a life saver

[@hc__1955]

You need the handbrake !! Their not the same 😅

[@ajrveedub]

Thats the ecs US cup holder mod!

[@Mk3Smith]

This one is Oem but they also sell it

[@theskateboardt619]

What junkyard was this? Been looking for Mk4 hood for golf

[@toddwilliams9681]

Do you go to the junkyard website where you were, or is there like a universal site that re-directs you

[@Mk3Smith]

Yeah I just check a handful of different yards around me to see if anything cool is coming in.

[@scharnier6989]

What happened to the red mk2?

[@berislavstojkovic658]

where can i get i need that one console 😁

[@arslanpigboy9634]

what's the name of this junkyard ? Are they national or regional?

[@fvkaciv]

style 19s are dope because they are oem bmw wheels, 2p and bbs but they are probably the ugliest oem wheels ever produced. the spoke design is just horrible but definitely would have been a sick find

[@mrhess9641]

[@marinmatosevic8105]

You need and handbrake

[@tshepo3DoorMK4]

Ive been struggling to get that console for my 3 door mk4 in South Africa, Please be so kind and send it to me...Id be very happy 😁
