[MarkWales]

JKM in portsmouth did me a really good job at a reasonable price

contacted them today out of curiosity £116 more than awsome

 

[Dyscontinued]

I know Awsomegti are very reasonable priced for retrofit on Leon but as i live in Hampshire to travel up to them would make it very expensive job in time and money is there anywhere in the south that does CC retrofit?

Do it on a holiday to the Dales

 

[andi leon frtdi]

he really does know what he's doing

just looked up prices

Awsome £117

Jkm £234

[m0rk]

I'd do it for free.

 

[MarkWales]

[kevh]

I'd do it for free.

Cheers m0rk i will ask you to do it but just had a big bill in so I'm going to have to leave it for a month or so but i will be in touch as soon as i have brought kit thanks again.

 

[MarkWales]

anyone in wales done this may aswell ask in here I supose

 

[andi leon frtdi]

it would take you 3 hours to get down to us, as my car came from wales and the best part is that it only used a quarter of a tank of fuel.

I'm picking up my cruise control kit for ferns leon fr(180)

£79 rrp apparently. i've got mine cheaper as my mate works for vw as a parts manager

 

[Dan1720v]

I've picked up the kit, and for those who are interested.

Part number for the petrol kit is: 1J0 998 527 B

And individual part numbers are as follows:
Stalk:
1J0 953 513

Wiring looms
1J0 971 425 A
1J0 971 425 B
1J0 971 425 C

 

[OFI]

There must be somewhere to get this cheaper than £80 surely? VAG Parts used to do the whole kit for around £55...

(yea I realise I am comparing prices to a company who went out of business...!)

 

[Mark300zx]

To the poster worried about the airbags, if you disconnect the battery for a couple of hours they will be neutralised.

 

[Dan1720v]

Fitted yesterday, took about 3hrs, but i rekon half of that was trying to make sense of vw's instructions lol. lovely mod imo, suprised theres no light on the dash to let you know its engaged.
