been busy pulling my mk2 to bits (doing a nut n bolt rebuild) and landed on your videos a few times now... always excellent, really clear, great camera positioning, great editing, really appreciate the effort you've gone to. big thanks and if it ever gets finished and i make it to a show i owe u a beer!
Ah thanks very much for the kind words mate! Nice to know they’re useful! If you’re on Twitter find me and send me pics when done! All the best and good luck!
Just got one mk.2 as my first car. Over all it's in great condition but I have to fix some of the dashboard lights cuz they are not working. So I decided to check on TH-cam and heere it is, just uploaded. Subscribed and liked.
awesome! glad you found it helpful, you can get placement switches pretty cheap, if the lighst are not working / faded that's the simplest / easiest option. enjoy the car, they're great fun!
Great video! Just removed the dash from an old golf ready to put in my main mk2 which I’ve got till my 17th birthday to finish(in January and still got a lot to do😅). Took me a while to find the 2 nuts under the bonnet that needed doing🤣
Really informative thanks for posting. Are there no bolts through the bolk head that hold the dash? I saw another video where he mentioned it? I'll be removing mine shortly. Thanks again.
Nah the bolts inside the bulkhead hold the heater matrix in place, only need to remove the nuts on them if you’re taking that out. Glad you found the video helpful
One of those dummy buttons fell into my dashboard when i tried to pull it out. I can feel it from down beneath the steering wheel where there's a gap in the plastic. Is removing the dashboard the only way to get to it?
Upon watching the vid more carefully, I noticed you removed the exact piece of plastic which I would need to remove at 8:25. Thanks! Also, could you maybe do a vid about swapping out the radio for a different model/brand?
Glad you managed to get to it, I was going to say you could also try getting yo to hand up under the steering column. I sadly don’t have any other head units to put in it, I would otherwise
@@MK2GolfStories No worries, thanks for the vids! They've helped me out a lot already. I'm planning on painting mine in Tornado Red one day. Gotta fix some little issues I still have first (and a couple of dents and scratches)

just for the future but about the heater fan switch you can just slide it up and it will release from the panel. No need to take the plug off
Ahh okay thanks for the tip!

@@MK2GolfStories cheap replacement parts is the reason i bought it. Thanks!
thanks big help
Excellent, glad to hear it :)

Ah nice! A mk2 golf at 16!! Jealous, think I got my first one when I was….18..
Enjoy the car and glad the video helped!
I was thinking there were nuts under the hood to remove. You made this look VERY easy
Yeah nothing inside the bonnet / hood area thankfully. There is if you want to take out the heater matrix but thankfully not the dash
@@MK2GolfStories Even better!! There's a red stripe at a local yard that I want for my Jetta Coupe. Thank you!!
@@1017quin I'm prettyu sure there are two under the bonnet...
Thanks for your time and informations. They are very helpful.
I am glad you are enjoying the videos, thanks for watching so many
Worked.... awesome work
Cool, glad it was helpful! Cheers :)
When I removed the dash from my gl there were two nuts under the scuttle. I’m curious as to why your car doesn’t have them🤔
Under the scuttle or behind the firewall?
Where abouts were they?
There should be x2 10mm nuts under the scuttle tray, you can’t see them you have to feel about for them 😂🤦🏼♂️
Haha I know mate, for whatever reason this car didn’t have them on🤷♂️
Good job
Thanks bud!
No bolts to undo from the engine compartment?
Not in my case. There are 2 on the back of the heat shield in the engine bay I do believe normally
Great job. Should be a screw underneath your radio cage in the top centre. I think yours was missing already!
Certainly a possibility, there are lots of pieces missing from mine haha.
Thanks :)
