Fitting Golf GT Chrome Mirror Switch to a Leon

[jezyg]

Not sure if anybody has looked into this mod but does any one know if it will fit or have the part number for the chrome switch in the current Golf GT? Looks like a nice and simple mod to put in the Leon add a touch of class.

The positions are different in the Leon though - 'heater' is between 'L' and 'R' and opposite 'heater' is 'fold-in'

Agreed that the positions are different, but surely its possible to just replace the knob without having to replace the whole unit?

Will the knob not just pop off and the new one pop on?

only one way to find out...

It was just the knob I was intending to replace, would go to my local VW dealer and see if I could order the part but will need to wait until March to try and fit it . It is the same dimensions as the standard plastic one that is used in the Leon and the Golf S,SE.

Would of thought it would be a pull out and push in????

Would be a nice mod but I would't have thought it would fit. One thing that might is the window switches from the passat cc, they look good and have a chrome trim

I dunno have looked at various pics and seems a direct replacement as the current Golf uses the same knob as standard as the Leon, cannot believe they would do a whole diffferent design for the GT, GTi and GTD far cheaper to repalce the knob????

Window switches out of the Passast CC do indeed fit but a bit more costly as you need a whole new switch array.

not bad 10.00 for a silver ring i mite pay for one...

 

[jezyg]

That's a good alternative and not bad for the money thanks!!!

They fit into a Mk 5 Golf so I'd imagine they'd go into a Leon:

If you've got some P/n's post them here as I'm after a set.

Cheers.

Decided the cost was not really worth it IMO switch was around £40 and ebay version at £10 looked ok but not worth £10 + £4 postage.
