The Un-Official Official Ask a Parts Guy Thread

[Parts@CheckeredFlagVW]

Not sure what makes it official, so if I am un-official, it's all good!

What makes it official? Anyway, if you have any questions, ask about the new MKVI, let me know.

[StaceyR]

Let me be the first to ask (here) about fog lights for the '10 JSW. Also the JSW sport body kit shown on the U.S. brochure. Getting a TDI if that makes a difference.

Availability and pricing please...

[sfpegasus]

Of course I'll be the first to jump in and ask if the LED tails shown on the R20 are going to be available.....

I have part numbers already for the primed pieces, and am waiting to find out the availablity ETA of the painted versions.
The fog light kit is listed, but the number that is listed is a carryover from 2009. If so, the grilles are different, so I also need some clarification on that as well.

It's official if you say it's official. And it doesn't get any more official than you running the thread, Bud.

Is it possible to retrofit a Euro Spec 2010 GTI rear view camera to 2010 GTI in the US. If so, how much for parts and labor?

[iPinch]

YES! Now me and paul have a thread to refer people to

[bubuski]

How much does the GTI euro lip cost? I assume you can see the p/n.

[RichG]

Ah good one and do the lipps come pre painted?

[iPinch]

yeah stock a bunch of those

[kvbett]

lips come primed or black as far as the parts program list's....ordered a black lip monday, will update when it comes in.

[RichG]

What was the price of the one you ordered?

[kvbett]

I'll let the parts guy answer that question, i'm a employee

plus i tryed ordering it under warranty as missing standered equipment on delivery

[dmets]

Two questions, both pertain to the 2010 Golf TDI 4dr:

1) Can the 9w2 bluetooth be replaced with a the 9w3 or what ever the part number is for the better bluetooth that will sync the address book etc...

2) Is there an OEM roof rack for the 2010 Golf? I noticed a picture on the VW site (http://www.vw.com/golf/gallery/en/us/#/exterior/7/) that had a roof rack. I would like to get one.

Thanks.

Right now? The answer is no...but that can change.

OK, update on the fogs...Officially from VW, there is not a fog light solution. However, doing some research, I think there is an answer! I believe the Passat fog light kit will work and give us the fogs and harness we need. After that, you will need lower grilles for vehicles with fogs and a new head lamp switch. All of these parts can be ordered.
The only unknown is whether the module will support fogs or if it will need to be replaced as well.

Probably! But, that will take some time to figure out what is needed. More than likely, parts will have to be located through an importer unless VW releases them to the U.S. market. I can probably get part numbers, but not prices....let me see what I can find.

There is a listing for the GTI/GTD for a textured or primed lower front spoiler. I am guessing everyone will be looking for the paint to match spoiler, correct?

Six-million dollar question. As many of you may know, there has been a lot of discussion on what works and doesn't work with BT. I think some people have figured it out. My advice from a price standpoint is, if you can get the 9W3 option on the car, do it...much cheaper that way!!
As for the rack, yes there is a roof rack available. Retails for $303.81 for the base rack set and I sell them for $254.99 plus shipping.

Yeah, that's the problem this year Bud, for 2010, the 'A' platform cars are only available with 9W2, mostly as standard, and the 'B' platform cars have 9W3 as standard.....so this will definitely be the six-million dollar question.....we have the technology, but can we rebuild him??

[veedub_rich]

Bud,
Does the black textured lip match the side skirts? I have a white GTI on the way. The black textured one matching the sides and rear valance would be sweet! Thanks.

Doesn't specify that it is textured in the catalog. kvbett already has gotten a black spoiler, so I am hoping he can answer that question for us.

[Doctor]

Nice! Ok...

1. What would it take to get the install instructions for the following Euro parts to check compatability?

a. Cup holder
b. Driver side dash cubby
c. Underseat storage (Do these even exist on the MkVI?)

TIA

Cupholder $60.58
Driver side dash cubby is not available yet, don't know if it will be through VWoA
Same goes for the underseat storage.

[tomo366]

OEM Plus Lists all these parts on there site........
They also list the fog light KIT.
MK VI Golf fog lights and grills should fit the TDI Sportwagen

Ok, this was the question I had. So a follow-up:

1) How hard is it to install the rack?

2) How much are the various bits that fit to it? (Specifically the bicycle and kayak bits)

3) Do two of the bike racks fit?

Thanks Bud!

[SamIV]

Bud,
Do you have pricing on the MKVI GTI grill? I have a Salsa red TDI JSW coming soon and I think I need that grill. Do you think it will fit the JSW? Thanks in advance!

[rimouski]

How much for mudguards?

I saw some euro golf with front mudguards and it looks pretty cool.

Yes, Black textured

Can the MKVI Golf/GTI side mirrors fit onto a MKVI SportWagen or any MKV?

They seem to list one for the Golf as well. Is that right?
