VW Golf Central Convenience Module Replacement - How to remove CCM in VW Golf MK4

How to replace CCM Central Convenience Module on VW Golf Mk4?

Tools you'll need:

T20 Torx screwdriver

The CCM is located underneath the steering column so you need to remove the plastic trim housing under the steering wheel to access it. There are 3 x T20 Torx screws that need to be removed and the plastic trim will then unclip - it may need a pull to remove it and it comes out in 2 sections.

Beneath this trim is another plastic cover held on by another 5 x Torx T20 screws. Remove this and you can now access the CCM module which is to the right of the steering column.

The CCM module is held on with 2 bolts either side which also need removing and the CCM can then be removed from the harness plug.

MOT Fail/Advisory Warning Bump Stops Deteriorated or Damaged

One of the items on the advisory list for the previous MOT on my Golf was an addvisory that the rear Bump Stops had deteriorated. The bump stops sit on top of the suspension within the coil spring and are there to cushion the car & shock absorber when it reaches the limit of travel over a bump.

What does deteriorated bump stops mean? What do damaged bump stops look like?

You can see in the photos below the condition of the bump stops that were recorded as an MOT advisory - it really makes you wonder what they would need to be like to fail the MOT!

The white bump stop on the left shows a brand new one with the damaged old ones to the right showing how much they have fallen apart.

I recently broke the wing mirror glass on my VW Golf so needed to replace it. This video shows replacement of the wing mirror glass on the Volkswagen Passat B6 model which is an identical procedure to the Golf and Bora. I believe it is also the same for the VW Touran.

VW Golf TDI Fuel Economy - What is the Real World MPG for Mk4 Golf?

The reason I love my Golf TDI - 321 miles and still just over half a tank of fuel left! My Porsche 911 would have run out a larger tank 40 miles earlier as that could barely manage 280 miles on a 65 litre tank.

The Golf TDI engine is great for fuel economy and getting great mileage from a tank even on the PD 150 model as this is. My previous TDI 90 was even more economical returning over 55mpg on a long run.
