Sorry it was a second hand jobbie, I'll see if I can find the part number on the listing, if not I'm sure it's on the cable itself.

EDIT: Part No is 4F0 051 510 AJ

Lovely thanks. I'll check the number on the cable I have as it may be an issue between phone/MMI. (or user!)

Finally got around to starting sound proofing my doors in-between the trusty British weather. I have to give every credit to JMAC for the superb walk-through you went to the effort of and using your photos as a guideline made it a damn sight easier!!
I did notice seats duct tape solution to the black panel rattle and also quite a but of moisture in the metal skin behind the speaker which I might have to keep an eye on

Took my 2013 2.0TDI FR to Stockport seat today and have swapped it for a cupra 280, pick it up on Tuesday and cannot wait! The test drive sold it to me unbelievable performance upgrade from a diesel.

Well not just today....

took the ST down to the Pyrenees loaded with three blokes, cycles and kit last week. Just over 2.5k miles and she didn't skip a beat. I have to say a very comfortable drive there and back, cruising at 125kp/h most of the way. She turned in an average between 59 and 60 mpg too! (Edit: On the motorway, mpg took a bit of a dip running up and down the Col de Tourmalet :D)

Very impressed.

I fitted my door lock covers that arrived today. It's small cheap addition that helps tidy the car up a bit. They were only €5.71 with free postage from Aliexpress. They just stick on with 3M pads that are pre fitted to the covers.

For one door and being very slow with regards to cutting up the silent coat sheets, it took an hour for the first door, the more you do it, the more you know what you're doing and it speeds it up

Not to bad then. I really must do it as the difference is supposed to be very noticeable.

Original is heated only in winter pack

vag familia
Mines a 13 reg and has the headlight washers and heated jets but without the winter pack. The early fr's came with those as standard I believe.

Hi do you have a link for the ones off eBay, thanks
Sorry they were an auction that someone were selling. There's plenty on eBay but not at that little price unfortunately.

No problem, that explains why I couldn't find them at that price . Thanks for taking the time to reply though :)
