Golf Wiper stalk in a corrado?

[-Neil- 0]

Just got hold of a wiper stalk from a golf, looks exactly the same as the corrado one but the MFA wire is about 15" too short! it looks like this..

 

 

But ive seen two on ebay and found this one, which the wire looks the right length, ebay title is,

MK3 VW GOLF GTI/VR6 WIPER STALK & WITH MFA CONTROL

 

and this one which the wire is too short??

VW GOLF MK3 GTI/VR6/CORRADO VR6 MFA /WIPER SWITCH

 

 

Please help!

Have you tried connecting it in to the existing wiring and checking everything works OK even if the stalk is not in the right place? If so then it's simply a case of extending the wiring surely, soldering iron, wire and heat shrink, job done.

I dont get what you mean by

 

'Have you tried connecting it in to the existing wiring and checking everything works OK even if the stalk is not in the right place?'

 

The lead for MFA wont actually reach the socket for the plug as its 15" too short! but dont realy want to start chopping wiring up, just want a plug and play one.

I was just wondering if you'd tried plugging the new stalk into the existing wiring on the car even though it wouldn't be in the right place on the column, if so and if it all works OK then it's simply a case of making the wires long enough to fit everything up properly. Of course if one with the right lenth cable is easy to get then go for that one.

yeah, the socket for the plug is tucked right behind the steering shroud making it hard to get to. Think ill try n get a corrado stalk.
