acox99 71 1 Cars Posted December 12, 2013 If you want a ph1.5/2 dash buy another car surely. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Edp 67 3 Cars Posted December 12, 2013 agree with above, surely buy a phase 1.5/2 car? phase 1 cars are becoming rare nowadays. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
calvinhorse 870 Posted December 12, 2013 The dash would require a change of the full wiring loom Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Karl 15 1 Cars Posted December 12, 2013 id rather not buy another car mine has a gti6 conversion aswell and is in almost immaculate condition baring sum rust on the front drivers side wing so buying a new car isn't an option so if I where to swap from a ph 1 interior to a ph 2 id have to modify the loom ?? why would I have to do that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DamirGTI 327 Posted December 13, 2013 if I where to swap from a ph 1 interior to a ph 2 id have to modify the loom ?? why would I have to do that Ph1 dash loom connectors wont fit on Ph2 dash switches - fog light switch , demister , hazards etc.. also the cabin cooling/heating illumination is different layout as is the potentiometer all in one connector , rather than separate wiring with single bulbs on the Ph1 .. plus the Ph1 loom is too short so if opted for rewiring to suite the Ph2 you'll need to extend it and will need to add/solder required connectors for Ph2 switches . I did this years ago cos my Ph1 dash was all cracked and with missing bits and pieces which i was unable to find to pile it all together so i opted for a Ph2 dash conversion ... You'll need complete Ph2 (or Ph1.5 same thing just the colour shade difference) dash , Ph2 heater box (can't fit Ph2 cooling/heating control knob system on Ph1 heater box..) and Ph2 dash wiring loom with connectors and switches (i did the rewiring from Ph1 to Ph2 cos i didn't have complete loom just connectors , it wasn't hard job an quick blast trough wiring diagram and some wiring soldering did the trick but having complete uncut Ph2 loom makes it plug and play option without the need for rewiring soldering etc.) D 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
