Took car to a local guy Glenside motor company (15 mins away) to get the swirl flaps and stage 1 map done, did it via OBD with CMD Flash, didn'#039t need to remove the ECU to bench it which is a bonus.Before mapping he put the factory original file on the car, checked for any errors then mapped the car with the 3 swirl flap codes deleted and motor disconnected.
I think he said he

Sachs used to be the old supplier for VW back in the mk5 era but now they are using Monroe. I have not had any experience with Sachs myself but I'#039ve recently fitted Monroe all around my old car. I'#039ve had KYB previously and the shocks might as have been welded stiff. If you want comfort, stay away from those. My other car on Bilstein b4 sport, Eibach pro-kit and 18"quot wheels was mo

Hi guys,
Bit of a weird one - without any prior warning or indication, the steering lock on my 2007 1.6 FSi on Saturday suddenly stopped working. I'#039d opened the car up in the morning (current UK heatwave) and when I went to lock her up in the PM I noticed I couldn'#039t turn the key - to the point I needed to get the electric windows to work. There was a little bit of key

Evening all, so been quietly plodding away on this, but now I have another car to use for a bit I am going to strip down the rear subframe to get everything powder coated and a full refresh.
Anyone got the parts list or a recommendation for all the bolts I’d need to put it all back together?
In the meantime I’ve finally got round to fitting my old boot build

Hey guys, set up my car to the garage today, because the car is vibrating from 50 mile an hour and up and also when I'#039m breaking at speed, They recommended i change the brake discs which are the same ones I'#039ve had for the last 7 years, But they also suggested that the clicking and creeking is coming from the steering column, I would like to know how much is it going to cost to fi

Hi everyone,
I'#039ve just had my LPFP replaced because and the new (aftermarket) one is significantly louder than the original. I can'#039t say I ever really heard it before but I now have a constant whine I can hear from inside the cabin at tick over.
It'#039s pretty annoying tbh but I can live with it as long it'#039s not actually faulty - and the garage say that it

My Golf is now for SALE ! I’m hoping an avid VW fan or collector will take it on and continue to take good care of it and take it to shows. It is listed on EBay and a couple of sites across FB. Any interest please do not hesitate to contact me Instagram @thatorangemk5 or TikTok @orangespeed49 [img width=588 height=786]

I have a trusty Mk5 VW 170 Tdi Sport that has covered a largely very uneventful 229k miles due to regular oil changes every 5k miles. Unfortunately the car has started to cut out / misfire (kangaroo) if the engine is revved above 2300 RPM approximately hence i'#039m wondering what the common cause may b
