cheers mate.I’ve done it - takes about 30mins and is a bit fiddly.
Just need to get the correct hose and valve which costs about £20 in total from VW direct or TPS.
The air flow into the glove box isn’t the best, but I haven’t done any vcds coding - not sure if it’s required but will be checking when I get my hands on a cable again.
Glove box has to come out, cap is taken off the air con piping, then connect the hose to it. The glove box already has the cut out so the valve just slots in place, connect the hose to the valve, and reinstall the glove box without disconnecting the hose

Not sure why but your tag didn’t show in my notifications. I just came on here to tag you in the post myselfSure, here they are:
Valve: 5EQ8163559B9
Hose: 3G2816311
The hose is actually a Passat hose, but fits perfect. I originally had the shorter hose, but one of my very good friends done some digging and found the correct hose.
I have the parts for @Damo H so we can do the mod on his car too

I had tried this and for the life of me the golf hose wasn't long enough ..did you have the same problem ? Have the valve fitted and bought some flexible rubber hose as I was just going to use it but if there is a part that definitely fits I'd rather have it...

I fancied doing this mod but from what I'm reading cold airflow to glove box is poor and I'd be better off waiting for hell to freeze over to cool my owners manual?
not a problem in my car, chocolate is never left long enough
