Haha thank you!

Thanks man, much appreciated 🙏🏼

Wowww! All these years later and you found the video!!! Haha good to hear from you. Sorry to hear you regretted the swap tho :(

@@diydubs I wanted that mk5 look bumper, that's why I did it. I went back to jetta front after. Did a ton of body work and car sat for years.. sold it to someone locally as a shell and he got t-boned and car was scrapped. Some parts are still alive, side skirts I still have. Now I have a mk4 r32 and mk4 jetta wagon tdi. So both front ends. How you been man? Car is still around?

hahaha seriously?! that's amazing. Thanks UA-cam.

Ben, you are correct! You do not need to change out the core support.

I thought it looked cool! Here's how we did it: ua-cam.com/video/Ut_cG_dC_FE/v-deo.html

I always say with enough time, money, and skill, anything is possible! With that being said, I've never seen anyone do what you're suggesting. So I'm afraid I won't be much help on providing you with the 'how'. I'd start with getting the hood, and seeing how it lines up with the mk4. Then be prepared to do some cutting and custom fab work to get the job done. Best wishes on the project!

I have a 2009 city golf and I am putting on a 99.5-05 jetta front end tomorrow. It is all the same shit.

Congratulations on your first car!! That's so exciting :D I'm glad the videos have helped and you're gonna love the front end swap. Keep a look out for my new website, DIYDUBS.com, where I'll be making more videos just like these. If there is anything in particular you'd like to see in the future, just let me know right here!

Thank you very much! I will have a site coming out soon called DIYDUBS.com, with more tutorial videos like this. If you have any other videos you'd like to see just let me know! Thanks again.

Haha that's funny :)

Hi there, just to clarify, if you are talking about performing a front end swap between a MK3 Jetta and a MK3 Golf, the front ends should match up just fine (based on what I've read online). For the MK3 swap the headlights, hood, and grille will be required. If you are suggesting a MK3 front end swapped with a MK4 front end, this will not bolt up without major modification. Here is a thread from vwvortex that I found for you which should be helpful for your MK3 front end swap: forums.vwvortex.com/showthread.php?3629193-mk3-jetta-front-end-conversion In the thread a user states: "everything will bolt right up, but wiring/harnesses for the headlights will most likely be different and will require splicing in different connectors or replacing the whole harness" Best wishes to you!

Hey there, the radiator support was not changed during this front end swap. Not needed.

Thank you!

Hey there, I made a video about changing wheels but I never made videos on shaving rub strips or molding bumpers. Are you interested in these? If so, I will take note during my new project "DIY Dubs", where I'll be making more videos like this one and taking requests as well.

yea man I would like to watch and see how you shaved them there are no other videos out there that I can find thanks

Ok great thank you for the feedback. I'll try to include a video for shaving rub strips, on DIYdubs. Thanks!

haha well said!

How true! I am doing the exact opposite. I am painting my black mirrors silver.

Thanks!

Hey thanks, you actually may be able to reuse the original sealant if there is enough left over. If not, you can try Morimoto RetroRubber Butyl Glue. This is an OEM-style sealant designed specifically for use in headlights: www.theretrofitsource.com/accessories/build-materials/morimoto-retrorubber-butyl-glue.html Alternatively, you can try OCI BUTYL GLUE, for those who don't like the harder, more OEM-like consistency of the RetroRubber and prefer the softer OCI: www.theretrofitsource.com/accessories/build-materials/oci-butyl-glue.html And here's a video on how to apply it: ua-cam.com/video/duFXYRt_nD0/v-deo.html Hope this helps!

I'm sorry to hear that. Are you using stock headlights or aftermarket?

Kyle Steinle Tried stock and aftermarket. I'm getting Bora lightswitch, that might do the trick.

Yes I agree a bad headlight switch could be the cause. I would also suggest checking for a blown fuse, and verify that the bulbs are not damaged. My last suggestion is to check for damage to the wiring harness connections on vehicle as well as on the headlights. Hopefully one of these suggestions will help determine the cause and solution for your problem.

Kyle Steinle I checked all fuses, bought new bulbs (one blew up immediately). I'm now waiting for the lightswitch, let's hope that does the trick.

DG Yes hopefully it's just a faulty switch - not providing proper voltage to the headlight assembly. I'm curious to know what happens.

Cool man, go for it! :)

Why don't you just buy a golf estate... it is litteraly the same thing you want...

That's why in was here for actually to see how.to do that I've always wanted a golf wagon

I'm doing my wagon with golf front end tomorrow

@@mirzadhadzic6728 because its ugly

You're welcome!

Thank you Dan! I'm actually working on creating a website with more videos just like this. It will be up soon, and I'll include the link in the info section of this video. Have a great day!

gracias

Hi Ricky, when you install the new fenders and hood, you may find that you have a large gap on one side of the hood and no gap on the other side of the hood. You may need to loosen the nuts and bolts for the hood, and ever so slightly re-position the hood so that it is perfectly aligned with the fenders, then re-tighten the nuts and bolts. That's all :) Thanks for watching! If you have any further questions just let me know. -Kyle

Thanks, much appreciated. That is the 4motion front valance.

No I do not, I swapped with a guy who had a Jetta. He took my golf front end and I took his Jetta front end. We met through vwvortex. Try searching there in your local/regional forums. You might be able to find someone to swap with. Good luck!

Yes I think you could. Both cars in Canada?

+ACTIVEGAMER298 Hi there, thanks for watching and commenting. I'm a little confused by your question. You asked if this is the same process with a Passat, but then you say you'd like to put a Golf front end on your Jetta. If you plan to put a MK4 Golf front end on your MK4 Jetta, you'll have no issues - simply follow the procedure in the video. If you are asking if the MK4 Golf front end will fit on your Passat, I must say I have not performed this swap on a Passat, so I do not have a definitive answer. However, my instincts tell me that a MK4 Golf front end will not fit on a Passat due to the difference in their chassis sizes. A Passat is a bit larger than the Golf, so I don't think it will fit. If you can offer clarification about your question, perhaps I can offer more information. Thanks.

Oops i put Jetta instead of Passat, I looked into it and the Passat is too wide , I may do something like a b5 a4 front end

ACTIVEGAMER298 Ok no worries, thanks for clarifying. Wow that would be cool! Best of luck!

The photo at 4:04? If so, that's simply a bad/scratched/worn out lens cover. It needs restoration. There was no fogging caused by the Joey mod.

Kyle Steinle ah thats cool, was worried about fogging the lights up. Thanks for the reply :)

***** You're welcome, thanks for watching :D And no worries, just make sure you have a good seal when you put the lens cover back on. Best of luck!

+Onry1 Nope I did not scuff the chrome before painting. It seemed to stick just fine, it's still there 6 years later.

glad it worked...

***** Thanks! Best of luck!

+Kyle Steinle what paint did you used?

iAmLVQ G Dupli-Color Acrylic Enamel, see the very beginning of the video at 0:11.

Hi +SlickSpacey , I have not done a mk3 golf/jetta front end swap personally. However, I did a little research and it looks like all you need is to swap the hood, lights, and grille. Additionally you may need to do some rewiring of the headlights, depending on if they are going from single to duel bulb. Here's a thread I found on the subject: forums.vwvortex.com/showthread.php?877059-Mk3-Jetta-Golf-front-end-swap&highlight=mk3+golf+jetta+front+end+swap

+SlickSpacey - another thread confirming the above info: forums.vwvortex.com/showthread.php?5433955-Mk3-Jetta-to-Golf-front-end-conversion-tread-Need-help!!&highlight=mk3+golf+jetta+front+end+conversion

thankyou kyle

+SlickSpacey You're welcome, good luck!

+Nigel Mac Thanks!

+Dalton Huehn Well, I have two answers for you. 1) Anything will work if you have enough money :) and 2) It will NOT swap over in 'plug and play' fashion. If you want to put a MK4 front end, on a MK3, you will need to do some serious custom work. This will require either a lot of your time to do it yourself, or a lot of your money to have a shop do it - unless you have a good friend willing to do it for you :) If you want to put ONLY the MK4 bumper on the MK3, you may be able to get it done without much of a headache - just a lot of custom body work to make the bumper fit. But if you want to swap the entire front end (hood, fenders, lights, etc.), then you're looking at a serious undertaking. If you want to pay me I'll do it for you, my rate is $100/hr plus parts, and a minimum of 100 hours :)

+Nay Cee Not too sure, probably maybe someone somewhere? Try it out and let us know how it looks! :)

+Nay Cee Found this, looks pretty cool! s574.photobucket.com/user/Paul_TDi/media/Car/MK4/HLtest1.jpg.html

+spraypaintandmarkers Hi there! I don't foresee any issues with using plastidip instead of spraypaint. That should work just fine!
