Hey Guys. The name of these plastic components are Called" Seat Guides", and they are obtainable at GOldwagen.. Some smaller spares shops also stock them. Also check online. Thanks.
Best channel concerning MK1s. Thank you so much.
Pleasure. Thanks!
Every Mark 1 owner in SA needs to check this channel out. PJ is the greatest to ever do it. 🔥
Thank you :)
Great clip, I have restored Golfs for more than 35 years and this is a common problem. I also have a permanent solution for the doors triggers to restore them back to OEM spec.
Yes. Seen so many Mk1s with the wobbly seats.. And we tend to just drive like that for years :),,,, and it's such an easy fix. Reallly appreciated the sturdiness after I did mine..
Please share ur idea about the door triggers mr swanepoel
Hi PJ. I came across your channel today while researching some stuff. I can't believe I suffered for almost a year with this problem and it's such an easy and cheap fix. I thought I would need to replace the whole seat lol. Subscribed!
Hey thanks for subscribing.. That's what's so nice about these cars.. So easy and fun to maintain.. I'm on Tik tok too now.., if you are interested to follow.
Legend 👍 been looking some Idea as to why my mk1 caddy seats wobble around, couldn’t figure it out 😂 only had it a week from the uk 🤘
Wow, I thought my seats will never be stable again, lol. Thanks for this, very helpful
Pleasure 😊
Thanks PJ I got the seat plastics at goldwagen
Your channel has helped me a great deal. Thanks very much.
My pleasure sir 👍
Thank you PJ
I don't drive a Mk1 but loved this video.. great 1
Thank you.. Pls do tell what brand of car you driving and where you are from?
I drive a Polo Vivo GT. Im based in Klerksdorp, North West
Great stuff.
Hey pj I just wanted to say thank you for these videos as im currently building my first project car (1992 VW Caddy mk 1).It has alot of the same components as the golf mk1. More rust though 😂. This helped alot thx
ah, the old wobbly seats, been a problem for about a year now. thanks for the quick and easy guide.
i have another problem. my windscreen wipers took on a mind of their own the other day, and instead of moving together, started to have a sword fight on my windscreen, now they just sort of stay put, even thought the motor and ram seem to be working perfectly, think it may be where the ram attaches to the wipers. ever had this problem?
any advice would be amazing.
thanks again for all the awesome instructional videos, you have been a huge help multiple time, appreciate it bra
Hi thanks.. It sounds like the wipers are just loose or maybe it's slipping at the arm.. Did u try refitting them and tightening them down a bit...
@@pjs-golfmk1-diy ah thanks man! so i had a look at the arm, popped off the plastic covers,where it connects to the ram underneath, and yes, 2 minutes later and a number 10 spanner, working as good as new. the nuts just needed some tightening. Appreciate the advice and help man. have a lekker weekend
Thanks for the video 🇧🇼🇧🇼🇧🇼
Hey. Pleasure!.. And greetings from South Africa... You from Botswana..?
Thank you so much brother . Keep up the good work. Im getting this sorted out asap .
Great stuff👍
Great video! Thanks! Worked perfectly. Any suggestions where I can find the spotlight for an Mk 1 Caddy Sport for the first type grille?
Hi, pleasure. With regard to those spotlights your guess is as good as mine.. I would start searching online.. All best. Hope you get them
Best mk1 videos ever 🙏 Thanks PJ for your awesome videos, You are the Mann 👌👌👌

Plesier meneer :)
Hi PJ , I love your content especially the one video in regards to bleeding your system when changing thermostat as I had the issue where it bubbled out of the waterbottle but your video solved it. I come asking a small bit of advise. Very recently my 2004 1.4 mk1 Carb has been developing a small miss around 2000/3000rpm . I changed my plugs and plug leads as well as distributer cap. unfortunately the issue still remains . Any advise as to what I could look into next that would be the issue ?
Thanks in advance
Have you had the coil checked out yet?.... Sometimes they start failing too.
Should goldwagen have them in the cape town area?
Hi, definately sir.. I got mine at GOldwagen Claremont.. Smaller spares shops also stock them.
@@pjs-golfmk1-diy thank you 😊
What do I say what I'm looking for when I want to buy it
You could say" Mk1 seat guides".. Or just show them a Pic on your phone
Where do you buy those kits? Do goldwagen have them?
Hi, yes GOldwagen do.. In fact it's R12 each for the 2 plastic ones, and I think R20 for the front rubber one
@@pjs-golfmk1-diy Thanks. Replaced mine this morning. Makes a huge difference. I Thought they stoped making these components.
@@hfrpotgieter47 ja, I'm sure it will become scarce.... But glad to hear you did yours and it's feeling much better
Where do I buy these components?
Goldwagen sir.. Other spares shops stock them too..
Where do u buy the rubbers??
Goldwagen
Hi pj how can I contact u I'm looking for a golf 1 mechanic.. Thanks
Hey there, unfortunately I don't really take on mechanical jobs. I can recommend people,, but pls tell me
What work do you need done on your mk1
@@pjs-golfmk1-diy I'm also in need of a mechanic good sir. I get steering wheel vibrations when clocking past 120KM.
@@georgekhumalo5283 hey George. It's best if you take car to a fitment center. They will do an assessment of your suspension, and possibly pin point the component that needs to be replaced.. Some of them may do the assessment free of charge.. At least then u will know what plan of action to take. Thanks
Eish my seats keep doing this and it's freaking annoying... yoh
Hi. Yes it is, but It's an easy, and cheap fix, and you will appreciate it, once that new kit is installed..
Where do i get these plastic clips from lol ...is it available on takealot?
Goldwagen
I'm attracted
