Hello chaps, here's a new thread for August.

Swindon, Lydiard Park, Sunday 10th August from 2pm - map here - (At M4 J16 roundabout, head for Swindon.  At next roundabout, go left. At lights (200yards) go left (Signposted).  Up about a mile on the right). 

Everybody - feel free to come to my house (2miles away) afterwards for a BBQ, weather permitting - bring your own food.

AS ALWAYS>>> If you have an unwanted 'G' as in 'GTI' or 'GOLF,' please bring it!

Attendees so far...

Fine by me.

BBQ sounds good as well, they're always good fun lol.

You making the BBQ at yours so that no one's going to change it to a date you can't do?

Fine with me too.

Hey happy chappers!

Yeah I think that date is good in the books.

 Won't be able to make the meet but might be able to make the BBQ,If thats OK?

Woodinator:

Cynic.  I mentioned to Simon about having a BBQ and words to the effect of "Well it's about time we did" came out of his lips!

Courtney, have you managed to get that mirror going yet?!

benjie:

"Well it's about time we did"

lol Sounds about right, we shall wait no longer!

I'm sure there won't be any objections to that Simon

 Sounds cool to me - Give me a chance to meet some local members...  

Cool

I must say, we got this one organised pretty quick! lol

I should be there, but not in the Golf.

Also, does anyone have a spare set of original MK4 Golf lights I could borrow.  Still cannot get my dipped beam working and would like to try another set  before buying new ones.

 should be able to make this.

Andy ill meet up with you and paul if thats ok?

Yea that'll be cool

We'll have to sort something different out though as we're going the other way to the motorway. You could meet me and Paul in the Asda by me if you can remember where it is? (Thinking about it, you should remember it cos we've been there a few times withs RCs I think lol)

I've updated the OP with a list of people coming, that's fine to come later Simon.

What're you coming in Barry?!

Anybody else need their names adding?

 Hi guys. 

Just bought another mk4 Golf after a horrible six months driving a diesel Renault scenic.  What was i thinking!!  I could be up for this meet.  Went to a few of the Reading meets when I had my PD115 but never been to a Swindon one.

Anyone fancy helping me fit Cruise to my PD130?   First on my list of mods to do.  Know anywhere selling the stalks cheap?

Always good to have another member mate.  We'd need an afternoon to properly do cruise - I've done cruise on 3/4 cars and a few other members have done similar, so give us plenty of notice and we'd be happy to help (I'm kind of speaking for everyone, but they won't mind!)  Also, we'll need a wire removal tool too, otherwise it's a nightmare! Can't remember where it is or where to get it though... guys, any ideas?

 Wasn't it Maplins(wire removal)?

Bodley,Try Vagparts in Swindon,When we did our Cruise control fit,I paid less than 50 notes each.

Don't forget to mention this Forum as they then give a discount!

You'll need someone with Vag Com to activate it thou!

A Garage Meet then, Eh Ben ?

 Is thet the tool needed  to fit my three blinks,Ben?

Yeah, it's the stupid long pronged thing for removing the wiring pins, the nightmare we had with Andy's is coming back... also, wiper removal would be good, but I rckon we could wriggle it off.

Someone with VAG-COM would be good wouldn't it SIMON?!

                                                        He has it!                      ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^

lol course i know where asda is, I know long well green pretty good.

just let me know a time :)

dont think ill have anything done to the car by then so ill be nice and standard lol.

wheels dont arrive till end of august lol

and the garage that have the mk1 still dont have a clue

I'm up for this, but when is it?

On a side note I've got some tools for removing pin's from plugs.

Sorry Rich, that was me 'updating' the orogonal post last night, I knew I'd forgotten something and I thought "Oh, it'll be something minor" - the date and time!

Changed it now!

Is your removal tool like this rich - http://www.svc.com/tool5.html  ?

Though the prongs need to be longer I think.

 I have vag com.  Happy to bring the laptop along to help anyone out with that.  Do vagparts have a website?

Yeah, but I'm not sure you'd get the discount on it... http://vagparts.com/  01793 487700.

10th is good with me

This is the kit I have: http://www.lasertools.co.uk/item.aspx?item=1044&cat=524 - I think they could be mistaken for torture tools

For refence I also got a capiler piston rewind tool and VAG-COM.

I think the 2nd green on from the bottom right might be ok, though would need to test it out.

 vagparts website says their cruise stalk and loom don't fit the ASZ (130)  Any idea why?  Can't see it would be any different to other drive by wire tdi's

I thinik this is the stalk - here

And here is some of the wiring - here

In general, you need parts that start with 1J0 = MkIV Golf. (1J5 is Bora)

Best thing to do would be to call them tomorrow and they'll get you all the parts and include the discount in the final price.

Sorry, those links don't work.  Go to vagparts.com, click online shop, then Parts Catalogue, then Sat Nav Parts - CD Changers - Cruise Stalks... etc, then CC Stalks.  It's the 2nd and 3rd items on the list.

Do you all go to these meets or is it like the Southwest "mega meet" where only 3 of ya turn up???!!

Nah, we're generally very good.  We had 11(ish) last time, 12 the time before, 9 before that.  Bad weather normally means about 6 of us though!  There is a hard core few of us that go to almost every meet.

To be fair though, at least some of us did, we could've just moaned about the location/name of the meet etc!

 this is the bit I found.  a kit for Mk4 golfs including the stalk and loom.  I'll ring them tomorrow for more info.

Hi All,

I'd love to come to this, but sadly the date clashes with Sanctuary festival in Winchester and I already have my ticket...

Hopefully I'll be a bit better in Sept and catch ya at the following meet.    (It was feb last time I attended). 

Wigster. 

Wow lots of posts since I last came on lol.

I'm game for fitting another cruise control to a fellow ASZ (that will be the third ASZ, little fact there )

Sean_Jaymo, yea the Southwest 'megameet' was a bit dissapointing from our end. We're usually pretty good! Hopefully that'll show for the next one!
