Ok, I need some new hand brake cables for my Golf Country. Are these the same as the Syncro or Rallye cables or are they different? I can’t access my parts list at the moment, so was hoping someone might know the part numbers or the length so I can find an alternative if they are no longer available.
Or would I be better off converting them to rear discs using later calipers? Seems a bit of an expensive route just to replace the cables!
I wondered about the door seals or the plastic sheeting behind the door card, but I can’t see any water marks where the water had run down, but that does not mean it is not that!
I remember having a similar problem in my other Golf, but that didn’t have a sunroof, so I am coming to the conclusion that it is either the door or the window seals. I shall have to get the hose out and give the car a good soaking whilst sitting inside, once the snow has gone!
I’ve lost the front roundel on my County due to an encounter with a stag in the fog, so would like a replacement!
Crash bars work well on deer!!!
Very nice looking car. Are the bumpers and grille original or were they added later?
Any chance of some pictures of the interior?
Try this link for parts:- http://www.vw-golf-country.de/countryforum/ads_item.php?id=495&sid=7afdc20ed32c3f7e162bbb9080bc621a.
I usually copy the text and paste it into http://www.freetranslation.com. It will give you the gist of the text, although some of the more technical words are not translated. In that case try one of the Deutsche-English dictionaries. There is one I used to use which was very good, but I have lost the link at the moment!
I don’t know what the difference is between the GTi and the CL headlining! The one I have is black and has a big hole for the sunroof as mine is the Chrom version with a webasto roof!
The fog lights are standard Hella versions, but I don’t know if they are still available.
I thought the front seat material was from the ‘Driver’ version. You could get a wheel cover made up, but the rear steps are specific to the Country.
There is someone in Germany who has been breaking Countrys for years, but I don’t know anything about him! Does anyone know who it is?
Ideal, but at £10 seems a bit steep for a switch, but would be easier than what I was thinking of.
I was thinking of using a fog light switch, with a relay so that first position it operates the rear screen and mirrors, whilst the second position operates the front screen and the mirrors.
Looking at the screen I have, it only has two connections. A live and an earth!
And Chris is right, they will ship to anywhere in the world.
Not yet! My Range Rover is out of commission having its heads sorted, so I don’t have a spare motor!! As soon as I get the Range Rover back it will be changed straight away. I could have done with it last week as we had some frost on a couple of mornings.
I’ll post on here, with some pics, as soon as it is fitted.
It’s arrived.
Appear to be made by RacingScreens, but I can’t find them on the web! Then again I could have misread the sticker and I should have taken a picture of it before I put it back in the box!!!!
I have some pictures
I won’t find out what the screen comes with until it arrives, which is not likely to be until after Easter!
As it is not a Factory option I’ll have to do something similar to what you have suggested Chris.
Hopefully when I put the new screen in it might cure the leek that always seems to be in the front footwell after it rains!
