btw, it's Jarred. spelt with an 'e'. as it says in my user name. thanks.
EDIT: what central locking kit have you got?
I've decided to get one for my mk 1, ones off ebay normally go for about $50 odd bucks.
Master brake cylinder...
ISV
Potentially fixed the top's hydraulic reservoir (if i can work out how to seal up the whole of the bottom of the plastic reservoir)
Golf Mk1 Cabriolet - 1.8 GTI
installed remote central locking.
Jarred,
How hard was it to fit the central locking to the Mk1?
Which kit did you end up getting if you don't mind me asking...
Cheers
Alex
I got the one from repco, 60 bucks on special. pretty sure they're the same as the kits off ebay.
install is pretty straight forward, just a little fiddly trying to get to some of the bits, and requires a bit of out of the box thinking sometimes.
I had to (well I did) remove my front seats to hide the wiring under the carpet. In the end I could only get 1 clicker to work (not both) and there kit was lacking a few screws, but apart from that, seems pretty good so far. Lack of instructions made it a little difficult to get it to work, but I think I got it in the end. took me about 4 hours. That included alot of fiddling around including swapping bits from other cars. now that I know how to do it, probably about 3 hours, 2hrs for a 2 door.
Don't know if it was worth it yet, cause I havn't driven it yet, but I'm pretty sure it was!
Took it in for a service and for a few other things including having the brakes relined, tie-rod replaced, and wheel bearing looked at/fixed. Hope it's not gonna involve too many $$$
