While this looks very similar would you know if these steps will work for me. It is the new body style, not the old. I keep hearing from some that you must collect the freon. Others, like yourself, say you don't. Thanks for any/all help. Tim [I] Hi Tim: Sounds like you have an MK3 body style, which is what my instructions were written around. So you should be fine. If you've got an MK4 chassis I'm not sure... have never done one!

I think this is going to sux but I have no choice it has to be done lol. How long does this normaly take to do? Just wondering if I need another car for the week or not :) Thank you again, please wish me luck ~samm [i] Hi Samantha... yeah it's a dirty job but someone has to do it... and it's *way* cheaper if that's you. ;-) It took me about 8 hours all told...I put on some good music and took my time, labeling as I went etc. It's not difficult.. just time-consuming... and surprisingly satisfying when all is said and done. :-) Best of luck... let us know how it turns out!

Cheers! [i] Hi Jon... yeah it's a miserable job... and as you're putting stuff back you pray to whatever gods you can think of "please work, please work". However, as long as you take it slow and double-check as you go it's not rocket surgery... and think of the $$$$ you're saving doing it yourself!! Best of luck when you turn the key that first time, Vince[/i] - jon jepma Sun, 18 Jan 2009 17:07:55 +0100
