I used VAGCAT over a number of years but when I tried over a period of weeks a few months ago I was unable to logon to the catalog.
Is it back up & running? ISTR that both VAGCAT and Paul Waterloo's excellent website has a distinct American bias (not surprising really ) so some of the parts may not be applicable... Found that out when I tried to order an MFSW control module from a picture on an in-depth MFSW retrofit. I also have the Bentley Manual but again that is US specific...lots of good info though. I wish I could get hold of ETKA & ELSAWIN... Thanks & kind regards, -=Glyn=- |

Glyn,
You can get ETKA and ELSAWin from a TORRENT of places, though we wouldn't recommend that approcach as THE police would take a dim view of that with you being a PIRATE and we want to keep that stuff at BAY. *ahem*

Subtle indeed!
Thanks for the heads-up PsYcHe but I never take anything from places like that...I was kinda hoping for an original but I guess unless I am a dealer then it is a no-no? Thanks for the detailed info as always Mike! Can you tell I don't trust NW to do a good job? I've had some very poor experiences with a heated screen fitted to my old Cosworth Scorpio where they cut off the receptacle crimps and just twisted & taped the wires together oblivious about weatherproofing or the current that gets passed along the cables I ended up soldering/heat-shrinking the cables myself but would have preferred the factory-fit terminals...I am guessing the replacement screen not being the genuine article just had a bare wire connection or something... Even my trusty 1998 T4 has had two screens fitted neither of which went without incident. I know it is an old van but the first time it came away with scratches on the bonnet and enough mastic to prevent the Titanic from sinking. Funny thing was when I took it back to have another screen fitted a few years later the fitter was taking the **** and asked me WTF fitted the last one? Took the wind out o fhis sails and stopped him mid-flow when I told him they did... After reading about squeaking screens on the Audi I was hoping I could at least minimize the pain by supplying everything they might need...still no guarantee of them fitting the bits properly of course... Why does it nearly always seem to much to ask just to get a proper job done these days? Remind me again why I don't use a Main Dealer? Thanks & kind regards, -=Glyn=- |

Second the diy bit
My windscreen picked up a couple of stone chipsover the winter...so I m tinking best get it sorted....have to say after reading this I m not very confident it will be done well....but am intrigued by heated windscreen idea...
This brings me to the point....why do mechanics call themselves professionals when more often than not an enthusiast can do a better job?????.... Ps elsawin and etka are very useful pieces of kit so well worth the perseverence to source the two... |

I dont know if it helps, I had the same dilemma a year and a half ago when my screen got smashed by a massive pebble on the autobahn.
I was going to go for Autoglass and before I did I searched the web for reviews, most of them bad, damaged trim, scratched up frame, etc. One of the bad reviews was on Pistonheads, and someone reccomended Glasstec. All the reviews of Glasstec where good, so I went with them. http://www.glasstecauto.co.uk/ I think Glasstec is just one man, I watched him work, he did a very professional job, protected the internal trim, didnt damage the frame, I was very pleased. I decided to replace my heated tinted screen with a non-heated non-tinted one so that made it a bit easier, and cheaper, and as a bonus my GPS works without problems now. |
