Speaking of which, which side does the loom connect to, left or right? And, doe anyone know how to get at the connector?

It fits to the right side of boot wiring is already there.

Vag parts one is like the one fitted to passats.

I have taken a look but can't see anything! Will I have to remove anything more than the access cover to the rear right light?

 

[match14]

Should be taped to the wiring loom for the rear lights. It will have a 2 pin white socket on it.

cheers guys

They come in very handy at shows for the old fridges!!

Used mine at Trax on Sunday, very useful!!

Took a look and yes, it was wrapped around on itself and taped up but I found it. Soon to order the socket!

Isn't the factory socket situated directly under the boot light in a Mark IV? (seen in some various photos -mainly US Golfs).I found my loom for it but there appears to be a metal bar under the boot light where the socket would go ( no locating hole in metal bar for the socket). Does it have to be drilled out to fit the socket, therefore giving it some support when you plug something into it?

i'm planning to fit this to a rover 25 boot...i just need to splice some wires from the dash lighter socket yeah?

As long as you don't need to run more than 10 Amps between the two of them yes. Ideally straight from the battery through a 10A fuse.

 

[GreenBeast]

any idea what amperage one of those mini fridges is? i have one but don't know about the figures.

I fitted mine into the bottom of the removable panel for the rear light. It's stiff enough to support the socket and it looks OK there.

 

[graeme86]

I was thinking that too, but I thought it might be a bit thin (unsupportive)

Yes, that's where mine is.

So just to clarify..it definitely goes through that metal support bar on yours ( you can feel the metal if you reach into the access hatch).

 

[graeme86]

Just for info. It appears a two wheel drive golf does not have that metal side support bar under the light. It just has a plastic welded rectangle on the back of the carpet to reinforce the socket area.

They sound quite a cool extra to have, Im off to the stealers to get one.[]
