Rewiring the ISO connector?

Fitting a headunit to the MK4 was a bit of an arse-ache right enough - little space behind it.

Anyone noticed that if you do so much as touch any area of the dash or interior it leaves a permanent mark/scuff?

Yup! :cry:

I love the boy racers in Ballymena in their clio's and corsa's who think mine is a 1.2 and try and overtake me, only to be left looking.... :redface: :lol:

Also, my headunit has a gap between the unit itself and the wee hole below it :( David @ Sere said he knew another guy who had exactly the same problem! :blink:

Oh and mine pulls to the left like nothing normal! Glad to see I'm not the only one.

But I still love it compared to the Grande Punto I had before!

when everyone who gets into the F**ker bashes your passenger door against anything thats next to it.

no matter how many times you tell them "WATCH THE BIG DOOR!":censored:

Swap the head unit and storage bin around mate. I had exactly the same problem but after the swap around it's fine and dandy. Also you can use the cup holder and turn the volume up.

Mine was stuck for weeks no mater what tools etc we tried, then one day out of the absolute blue on a carriageway at 70MPH it randomly popped out and almost put me over the barrier from fright. :lol:

Just read all 9 pages of this and it made me chuckle.... mostly because the comments are so true.

Niggles.... rear washer jet.... Powr steering pump that doesn't want to start with the rest of the car! various interior bits missing compared to others.... no glovebox or boot light but i do have a middle sun visor..... middle sunvisor that is always not quite deep enough to be useful... position of the power steering filler cap.

things i love.... When it is just cleaned it looks fookin awesome. being able to chase scoobys and porsches down country lanes :D

The owl in the exhaust (miltek turbo back)
The look on other drivers faces when they realise your car is a diesel...:D
the fact that they are rare in comparison to others.
the 175bhp and 300lb/ft torque always makes me smile.
oh and lift off over steer.....:whistle:

you know you have a mk4 ibiza when

...your fuel computer lies to you telling your getting better mpg than you actually are.

...when the passenger tries getting out the car by ragging the door handle off as it doesnt open first time. Everytime the gf gets out i have to shout "TWIIIIICE!".

...when the laquer is already peeling of your FR wheels in big chunks. on an 07 plate!

...when your grandad asks..."what car have you got now Adam?"
"Its a SEAT Grandad!"
"Ah right... who makes those?"
"............oh dear!"

Can't agree with ya more, as soon as I park up, all the passengers just keep yanking the handle, and by the time i pressed the button, they're holding the handle open so it still doesnt work :ban:

when my door catch went i got the dealers to sort the auto lock out so it doesnt do it so one pull and there out.
the auto lock got annoying anyway as theres a button you can press to lock the doors on the inside also saves passenger confussion.
