Late Style Indicator/Wiper Stalks

[kerrinmay 0]

Is it possible to fit the later style indicator/wiper stalks to an earlier car? If yes, what's involved? Also, are the later ones all that much improved (I know they look more rounded)? Do they have a smoother action etc? I find that my earlier style ones are a bit clunky.

Sorry just done a search (should have done it before posting new topic) and have found the info about fitting late style to old. However my questions still stand with regard to how much improved the new ones are over the old style. One thing that always bugs me with mine are when I just want to do a single wipe on the windscreen. If you don't push up enough, it sort of starts to wipe then stops, and if you just push too far you end up with them on full. Is this better on the later style?

I did this and to get the hazard light to fit had to buy the surround as well. If you have bought some golf ones you will find like i did that the cable from the MFA side is to short to reach the connector. If you have got corrado ones this will not be a problem.

I think this is one of those common to all VW problems! My mk1 golf, my mates Pissrat and it also does this on my C too. The later stalk is quite positive and clicks into the various positions well... don't know what the early ones are like though.
