Hi @Goanfox, First of all, I’d like to thank you for all the detailed information. I’ve actually purchased the same kit and am planning to install it. Could you provide more details about the pin in the door controller for the ambient light? Also, if you have any VCDS instructions, would

Re: MK5 GTI - Intercooler Hoses leaking again. Replacement suggestions please.

You dont need to worry about the turbo side as that doesnt leak 99% of the time, but if you want to get rid of that, you should get a k03 silencer removal kit from ebay/aliexpress. I got mine from ali from a firm called Volm. Fitting was perfect, seal was perfect. worked with the oem discharge pipe. I got a k04 version but there'#039s a ko3 version too.

Mine was running fine but as you can see, it was only time due to them starting to fall apart but not effecting anything just yet.
They become very brittle..........plus it was worth doing the carbon clean

Thank you for sharing the experience. Mine is a 2006, it says AC on the climatronic menu.
I have read and hear that the MK5 GTI HVAC system was not very good designed but it can not be that bad... I have the car since 6 year aprox and always had this feeling.
Re: Edition 30 OE paint codes

The car came in two blacks - a flat black and a diamond Pearl black. The Pearl black was the LC9Z code. Hence your car must be the flat back. I think the other ED30 colours were Tornado Red, Candy white, steel grey and reflex silver.

I used to be a fairly regular poster here when I had my Edition 30; that’s long gone but about 18 months ago I bought a 2006 5 door GTI from a friend who’s owned it from new. nbsp I have all the service documents, the original bill of sale and order with VW and this car has all the options VW offered at the time - apart from bucket seats I think. nbsp The original owner wasn’t especiall

Another thing I've heard is that the fuel lines can develop cracks and air can get through them, into the fuel feed. If all else fails, this is also something I wanna look into. I'll replace certain parts of the fuel lines with transparent tubes just to see what's up while the engine is running.
Good luck with your injector stuff!
