MK1 Jetta Dash Install To MK1 Caddy

[GEE-BEE]

After cleaning out the a/c assy and duct's , I also added all new silicone foam on the vent door's
installing new blower fan assy and heater core assy ( 200.00 parts )
red silicone hose from heater to firewall

The shop did not have to use the jetta dash bracket's

Trevor ( member  )did a fine job on the cluster and installed the blue LED's and white meister gauge faces
All functions work !!!

The fan blower is much stronger and there is no rattles in this dash assy now that there dymat insulation and silicone foam on all attaching surfaces

Next will be a new Blaupunkt Stereo with DVD /CD function with  pop up dvd screen to finish

Gee Bee I would love to see some pics. I'm gonna do this to my caddy this summer so any tips or tricks you may have would be nice too.  You can send them to john at bigrblasting dot com   Thanks

same foam you sent me? Do you have pics of how it went on. I think I put too much on mine, but can't pull the dash until summer time to find out. I still have little flow.

[GEE-BEE]

I will send some pic's, I had a shop do the install while I went to japan and two islands in the Philipines
Boracay and Palawan

Water was  warm 78 and air temp was around 87

Great food and diving

The wiring was a problem as my truck was a gas and I had two get a MK1 diesel jetta cluster and add a tach, all functions work perfect now in the cluster.
If i did it again , I would do a diesel harness swap

You mean if you had someone else do it again.

I was just saying that a diesel harness would have been much easier to deal with, I had to install a Bosch universal glow plug kit also and delete alot of wiring for this install.

gas to diesel

GEE-BEE, if you don't mind, what did you pay in shipping for the carpet kit and who did you use for shipping?

There carpet kits and peices of kits are by far the best fitting and the colors match OEM carpets.

[GEE-BEE]

I havent heard, why do you one ?
they havent advised yet

we could ship two cheaper than one ?

I'm interested in the Scirocco rear parcel shelf carpet set, Biscuit color. I think they want $80 just for that. The last I time I contacted them via email, they make every order to order, so it would be a while. They also would'nt tell me who they use for shipping. Don't know why.

Aaron at Bleached Bora can get great shipping rates, but they won't use anyone but who they choose.
Let me know.

Thanks, Josh

GEE-BEE, What are your door panels from ?

[GEE-BEE]

They were special order TMI for a Cabby, 3 hole door handle type with mirror hole

I added the early bug chrome door surround

cabby door pull's

cabby speaker grill's with Fogul speakers ( 300.00 )

Window crank's from rabbitparts.com

Nice fit & finish..

I found a new Blapunkt Chicago stereo with FM/CD/DVD with pop up screen , retails for 1100.00 new in the box for 200.00
