Seat heater in 96 golf? by
andy
Has anyone installed a seat heater in a '96 golf? I was just wondering if
any vw model had them at that time and how hard it would be to put in an
aftermarket system or 'tap' into some oem wiring. TIA

Here's a secret for your VW Golf oil changes by
Tom Levigne
If you are changing the oil filter its easier to do this from the top
instead of from the bottom like I had been doing it all along.
Its still kind of a pain to work around all the hoses but its not so bad

My car is a 2003 Golf with a 2.0 liter engine.
