Hello,
Looking for a bit of help please. I have a 05 GTI manual since new. The brake servo went over Christmas and it was a close call! It'#039s proving very difficult to find a replacement. No main dealers can source one and it'#039s not being manufactured anymore.
Would anyone be able to point me in the right direction. I have seen some on eBay and am awaiting fee

I am chasing down a crank no start on my MK5 GTi AXX engine
I have pulled the relay from another car and confirmed that this did not fix the issue
I am now at the point of possibly chasing a broken wire, But I dont really know what wire I am chasing
I have the ECU out and all the wires for the ECU unclipped so im ready to do some testing but I dont

Haha well played sir, looking good!
How easy was the rear?
Super easy, it comes with step by step instructions but in short...pop off the cover, release two clips, pop off the electrical connection, slot the removed section into the new frame, pop it back on.
Diagnosing Vacuum Leak Locations - Not PCV/Rear Breather

Hello all, recently I'#039ve been battling a vacuum leak issue with my 2007 FSI model MK5 GTI. The engine code thrown up was the System Bank Too Lean that led me to suspect the PCV at first, but after replacing it and the rear breather (huge PITA) with the latest iteration parts I still hear a loud hissing noise when the engine runs, along with very poor idling and near stalling.

So, managed to fix the seating position...
As I previously said, the Recaro Pole Position seats are, on their lowest setting, significantly higher than the stock seats. I kind-of got used to them like this, but since I fixed the steering wheel I said I could fix this as well.
So, I manufactured some side mounts, about 3cm shorter thinking it would solve the problem. But I

They are made by Continental now and bought a decent secondhand one off eBay a couple of years ago using the latest part number at the time, then used VCDS to re-sync/align it
My PN is 06F133062T and was off a Mk7 Golf GTI or R for £30 and sorted my issues......still going strong

Re: Crank no start after replacing injectors
Last Poster: hcmzah in Mk5 General Area on January 09, 2026, 11:19:21 pm
i think it might just be an unplugged wire
also for the injectors it's really bad to get non genuine injectors, definitely will fail again soon. you should send off your old set to rtech for cleaning. if any are unrepairable, they will provide refurbished ones for £100 each
also make sure to replace all the seals

Hey, i have the same issue on cyl 4.
Switched spark plugs and coils but the misfire was still at 4.
Ordered an injector, removed the intake to also do carbon clean and saw that the inlet valve was burned/leaking :(
No issues driving, dont feel power loss only misfire at idle... good luck ✌️

Looks like it's burning oil, have you checked the oil level recently?
Probably turbo seals gone, when was the K04 fitted and was it a used one? It's going to need to go to a garage for further diagnostics
