i have got mk3 xr3i with a cracked dash usaul places . wanted to fit a mk4 dash seen it done before just wondered i hard it was . thanks

 

ideally you want to make the task as easy as possible. you wiil need

mk4 dash & clocks
mk4 wiring loom (saves cutting/joining wires)
mk4 indicator stalks and column/barrel
mk4 heater matrix and vent pipes.
the actual task is a straight swap the only probs are you will need to dril and tap two extra hols up the top of the dash(mk3 have 1 bolt hole/mk4 have 3!
Same as either side of the dash.
the most agro bit of the job is MOUNTING the air vent pipes properly as the mk3 mount completley different to the mk 4.
Then you will have the modern dask which does not crack and looks the mk4 (s2)dash is the only thing i prefer over the (S1) cars. Thats why my mk3 has the mk4 dash.you know it makes sense mate.DO IT

 

its easy but i wanna swap mine back to a mk3 lol

 

fuck that.too complicated,cant help you with that one mate. maybe jim'll fix it for ya? ask him. lol

 

thanks mate that doesnt sound to bad the outside of the car is all s1 and inside but i just dont lik the mk3 dash has much has the mk4

 

same here mate happy moddin son

 

get it flocked mate

 

oh yes,i like your thinking.im gettin mine flocked.

 

Right about now would be time to give you a little pointer to a step by step guid with pics

A friend of mine did this conversion in his mk3 cab - he also took pics and wrote out how to do it - I wanted to do the same in my S1, so he wrote it all out for me, then put it on his website
