You're better off just getting some secondhand standard ones if you just want to plug and play.
Aftermarket ones mean you'll have to start cutting plugs off.
I've probably got a set you can have down the garage?
Fixed a host of niggles.
My car; had one wheel balanced after I jet washed off about 30g of balance weights and vibrates like mad. Changed the red and yellow wires over on the radio so it actually holds stations now.
Wife's car; fitted a new gearstick gaitor as the old one was fubar'd...
V70?! FLOL!! You suit that down to a T mate.
Wax jacket and wellies in the boot, dog saliva all over the rear windows.... You are SO volvo V70!
Ps, that golf is infinitely better than a 4 pot petrol BMW I promise you.
I had no end of trouble with driveshafts and I found the cup ones (slightly longer) used to grind inside the gearbox on sharp corners.
If yours fit ok and don't make any noise, I wouldn't worry about it.
Removed the not even screwed in 'fli' door speakers (yes, the previous owner just placed them in the doors because they were too big for the holes. Every time I hit a pot hole both front door speakers fell out and dangled by the wires...) and re-fitted some standard ones I had in the garage...
The gearbox I just removed from my car (due to loud whining, grumbling diff bearings and crunching 3rd gear) was seemingly refurbished quite recently....
I'm starting to lose trust in just about everybody surrounding Clios at the moment.
A recently fitted Cambelt dephaser and water pump, Decent suspension, recently refreshed bushes and mounts, decent tyres, and some half about brakes with quality fluid.
Get those basics right and improve as you go.
You don't NEED washer jets for an mot, but if they're fitted they must work.
If I was you I'd reconnect them for the mot, then when you get home for some colour coded blanks to save any future issues.
This one mate,

Don't get me wrong, it won't win any prizes, but It broke, I went from using my £3000 diesel powered hot wash to this and my customers never noticed! Lol
