Certainly is, not sure what they were thinking with the auto one, I guess it's a good idea in theory, but it just doesn't work nearly as well as the manual one. The manual one is cheaper anyway

A quick google search found this DIY, might be useful, I haven't read through it but it looks pretty detailed: VW Jetta How To/DIY: Diy: Manual adj./remouval clutch cable w/ pics|Forum Volkswagen Bora

Awesome man! I've placed my order. I'll hopefully get my reupholstered roof liner back while I'm waiting for it to arrive.
The golf is parked in a garage for the first time in it's life at the moment lol...if only that would fix the already sun damaged paint on the roof

Dude your paying to get your headliner done !! es como estas el loco !

Woulda taken me just under a 1hr to pull panels out and about another 1hr to get headliner done.
Pretty sure theres a diy here somewhere.
Just looking at those pics again
Mann soo much potential.

A friend of my missus is doing it. He wanted more jobs like this so I'm kinda doing him a favour, $100 is nothing...all materials paid for.

$100 is a bargain!

Can anyone tell me if this would be the right gasket set for my 1.8? VW GOLF VENTO 1.8 8V ADZ AAM ABS 94-99 HEAD GASKET SET | eBay
I need to replace my Rocker Cover gasket. Is there anywhere cheaper/more local?

[Water Boy]

Im pretty sure a aftermarket rocer cover gasket from your local VW service centre should be liek $15. I bought mine from my local guy and it was about $11.95 (trade price)

I got a little mouse happy and bought the full kit haha.... Never know when I might need the rest.

Also bought smoked side repeaters, new brake and clutch pedal rubbers, lower bumper grille (cos one was missing), and a few other goodies which I hope to reveal at Eurofest.

Cleaned up the Weitecs and waiting for my new spring seat for the one which is all apart.

Just a quick update. I got a clutch cable from VW, $149 ain't too bad. Soooo much easier to drive now! Also replaced the injection flange mount, runs better now and no longer smells like fuel when I stop suddenly hahaha.

Had a scrape around the rust bubbles, they're now "speed holes"


I should be getting the weitecs on really soon. I'll hopefully get the roof liner back next week, about damn time....I suppose it's what I get for only offering $100 to get it done lol.

Still trying to decide what I want to do with the paint:
Spray can it matte black.
Wet sand the whole thing and leave it at that.
Vinyl wrap it matte black or grey.
Keep it as it is.

Put my Weitecs on today, still sitting at a sensible height while I continue to practice my manual driving skills haha. Did a little mock-up with my borbet reps.


Here's what's to come for my poor neglected little golf:


Gonna be way lower by Eurofest
