Show us ur Monte

[jj120979]

So that's a vrs wheel fitted to a Monte. And options enabled in vcds?

Its a wheel out of a MK3 octavia VRS,,  there where some changes made in Vcds,, also needed some new cables installed one for power and one in the Lin,, 

 

All the functions work on the wheel,, I also had the stalks changed as the maxi-dot is now controlled via the wheel..

Can I ask where you sourced the Steering Wheel from and how much it was, did Eddie-NL fit this as well as the cruise control? Do you mean that you changed the Right-Hand stalk as well?

I've a Tech so have the full Maxidot display but the thought of a proper multifunction Steering Wheel and Cruise Control is very appealing! 

[jj120979]

For cruise you will need

 

1:VW POLO INDICATOR WIPER CRUISE SWITCH 6Q0953513AL9B9 ( takes away the maxi-dot controlls from the stalk)

2:http://www.kufatec.de/shop/en/Volkswagen/Polo-6R/Cruise-Control-Harness-VW-Polo-6R?info=4193

3:someone to fit and code.. ( and a good few hours..)

 

Steering wheel..

1:new buttons Make sure they are the correct ones,, Eddie NL can get these... ( you maybe able to add them to your current wheel)

2:Multifunction Airbag Wiring Loom

3:2 new wires one to power and one to the Lin..

 

It took the whole of friday to install both,, but i`m really pleased,,, finishs the car off..

 

Drop Eddie NL a message he maybe able to help you out,,,

First substantial drive in the Monte this morning, 50 miles in total to Hinckley and back along the A444 saw this from a brimmed tank lastnight.

 

 

Yeah, that'll do me. And I wasn't even on an eco-drive... Damn lorries and tractors always in the way!  Overtakes like a stabbed rat!

 

Also... Anyone elses maxidot say "mi" instead of "miles"?  :wonder:

Looks nice that!

I like the chrome bits on the steering wheel, it looks a little less boring than mine haha.

Who said Montes are boring, look at all the chrome.

[fabiamk2SE]

Is that a standard monte steering wheel then?

Cant remember the chrome bits on the one i drove, thats all aha.

Just breaks up all the black doesnt it

[Gazbull17]

Yeah, it's the standard wheel, much better than the old leather one.

It's got the new Skoda monochrome badge on as well, they were fitted from 2013 on and just the same as other VAG model steering wheels.

[fabiamk2SE]

Oh right .

Yeah looks the same as mine apart from the little bit of chrome.

Ahh, it could have been leather on the one that i drove. Maybe thats what it was. It was a 12 plate i drove/thrashed

That's wot I thought when I saw my uncles red monte with the grey onyx seats, because when u have black headlining, black door panels, black dashboard, black carpets and then black n grey seats it's a bit on the gloomy side hence why we went with the red onyx seats as it breaks up the gloominess a treat.....

[fabiamk2SE]

I agree.

Still much prefer it than some of these cars with rainbow/ flower seats though haha

Here's a video that I took during a little drive around Northwich

FINALLY GOT MY CAR TODAY! 

 

Starting a project thread but here's two photos from today just after getting it home, which do it so much more justice than the ones at the dealer.

 

 

 

Car drives a treat, really surprised how quiet it is and how powerful it is! Loosened up a little but can tell it'll keep on easing in for a few thousand miles. Had a massive grin the whole way back (Nothing to do with the fact I was following/leading my dad back in the green car )

 

Happy happy happy!

 

These black estates look so good!!

Yeah they do a Yellow in the monte line up

[jonro2009]

Is that a tech? Looks like it from the aerial, yellow on a tech is pretty unusual, seen lots of standard Monte in yellow. Would have liked the yellow tech myself
