I have fitted one on my 03 Bora. Right hand side of the boot. The cable should be there with the connector already wired to the fuse box.

cool thanks i look in the morning

Yep the cable was there on mine as well, just got the socket from a golf scrapper, cut a whole and just plugged in.

Root around near the rear right light cluster and sure enough you will find a loom where the socket connects to.

rite ok it realy has taken me this long to find the wire lol, found a conector it has 3 pins rectangle shape pulg with round terminals, is this the right 1 cos im sure wen lookin on a m8s g0lf he has flat terminals?

But why would you want to light a cigarette in the boot?

Powering a mobile phone charger, PDA, GPS, portable fridge / tv etc etc []

I fitted one last week [] Blimey that trim is tough to cut too []

I got the Beetle version that comes with a sprung "12v" cap to cover the hole up []

Ideal for mini fridges etc []

I ahev one of the APC laptop bags that come with a power adapter which takes the place of the OEM one and can be used in car, planes, trains, foriegn countries etc. When I use my laptop when out, i normally only need it for around 20 minutes at a time, so cant be arsed plugging it in, but when I put it back in the boot, I plug it in and charges while I drive. Very useful thing to have.

I've seen this mod mentioned several times. What's the score? Was this only standard on certain models?

VW stopped the boot socket "sometime" in the past (to save money?!) but is easy to DIY.

 

[pope1]

My car had one as standard (2000 AGU) so at first I just assumed that they all did.

 

[02 Bora]

i've got four altogether in my car,

1 x front

1 x rear

2 x boot

not sure quite why so many are needed though [!]

My 2002 Bora SE had one as standard in the boot. I must admit, i thought it was standard fitment accross the Bora range.

 

[pope1]

I've found that the boot one is useful for running one of those tyre inflation pumps. Had to get an extension lead for it though because I only have one boot socket and the pump would not reach all the way round. A second socket on the other side of the boot would have been ideal in that situation.

i want 1 in the boot to power my cool box haha

thanks 4 the pt numbers

Hi all. I was trying to find the wire for the socket in my Bora boot this morning, but I can't seem to find it.

It's an 02 Bora TDI 150 with the boot light on the left hand side.

Does a lot of the trim have to come off to find it?
