Hi, my Mk3 is gonna be scrapped at the end of the month, it has central locking and Electric front windows, Do you reckon i could bastardize them to go on the van?

It's got to be worth a bash.
I would imagine that you could get the CL motors working and rig up some mechanical connection.

I think the windows may present a bigger problem.

Let us know how you get on as I have a set of electric windows and CL from my donor Passat.

Thats what I thought, Thought id ask if anyone had done it before. I Suppose its just a case of getting the vaccuum hoses long enough to reach,

I thought they would be eleccy like the T3 ones.

No, the're Vaccuum, from a pump that sits behind the rear right light. Its wrapped up in foam so you cant see it. Works the same on my Mk2, which has a clifford alarm with remote cl and remote start. Might see if i can get the same set up on the van.

Well this was a non starter, The tailgate actuator would work fine but the others are all built into the locks. More trouble than its worth!

mk2 mk3 what????

I'm assuming Golf, but could be an Escort

or polo, fiesta, astra, etc etc etc

Golf! Sorry, I should of made it clearer.

You could give it a bash, but the vacuum set up is notoriously dodgy when factory fitted to Mk3 (Golfs). It was one of the reasons we sold ours - far too pricey to put right. It may well work - but for how long

And when it does jam, it's a bit of a *****rd to sort
