Hi all,
long time coming back to the forum, golf is finally back at home now. it has come back with a broken roof aerial (and scrapes to the roof) after being caught under a car park barrier :aargh4:
Could someone with access to a parts list confirm if this is the correct part number please: 1J0035501C [see attached pic] or is this for a markIV?! i did call the dealer but the chap couldn't find it whilst i was on the phone and i'm still waiting for my call back since thursday(!)
it's a 2005 (55) without sat nav or phone prep so standard beesting aerial. I've still got the mast, but the base is in bits so i'll be pulling down the roof lining properly to get at after the scratches have been sorted. I had a brief look yesterday and have removed the bolt quite easily just sticking my hand in, however i could not see what connection it is...?
I have considered 'upgrading' seeing as i have to start from the base up, but the shark fins don't seem to have very good reception from reading other posts and other options seem limited. I may buy the Sharan antenna (http://www.vwaudiforum.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=50931)that i've just seen on the sticky but dunno yet! Also seen the GPS aerial on ebay but unsure if it's worthwhile just for looks (as i won't be using the GPS connections of it).
thanks for reading
