Almost brand new GTI
on October 06, 2025, 04:23:50 pm
Maybe for somebody who’s Looking for a GTI I don’t know how this works but a YouTuber “Saving Salvage” is giving a GTI away on “Compete for cars” Looks like it has been in a timecapsule…  Don’t shoot me of how this “Compete stuff” is working😅 Hopefully sombody can be the owner of this nice & clean example 😎👍🏻 For some reason I can’t upload a screenshot of it on here now?!?🙄 Go check it out on YouTube…

Yes wireless CarPlay plus there’s a usb cable with a female socket on it hard wired into the back which can reach the glove box so can extend a cable out from there.
Matt74 Do you have a shop link for 648 please Found them for sale in Germany but not the UK

Because the car runs a MAF sensor based fuelling system, any unmetered air from an atmospheric BOV will upset the fuelling, could cause lumpy running and stalling.

Common issue on all Golfs and other models is the rear pressure vents that are on either side of the car behind the rear bumper. nbsp Just done my wife'#039s Mk5 and will do my GTI soon also. nbsp Bumper off, vents removed and sponge seal binned while the vent groove is cleaned out......then used a decent silicon to seal and bond vent to car. nbsp No more leaks and far less condensation on win

Noticed a burning brake smell couple nights ago, passenger wheel was hot to the touch. Driver'#039s side wheel was about 20 degrees on the laser gun, pass. side was over 100 degrees C! New front left caliper fitted from local motor factors (Apec) about £70. Sorted.
Just an intermittent P2015 code to fix now , Inlet manifold runner flaps fault putting the EML on, seen online

Bought a Ramair oversized intake off Facebook market place and swapped the oem black silicone for some blue ones, gona fit my blue coolant silicone hoses along with the metal upgraded tee which replaces the brittle oem plastic one. Won'#039t be keeping it chrome I'#039ve already scuffed it down an eitch primer it along with black satin black spray paint

Hi all. Had to replace the tailgate on my mk5 gti, unfortunately the replacement is from a tsi so doesnt have a spoiler like the gti, already tried to pry off the original but it cracked. What are my options? There seems to be a limited selection for the non gti/r32 variant. Does the mk6 spoiler fit?
Rear trailing arms/ bushes

That'#039s strange I wonder why they went through the trouble of swapping the front ends. Perhaps it'#039s one of those strange things we'#039ll never get to know the reason.
Manufacturer promotion for the newly released MK6 and the MK6 benefits from a more aerodynamic front end, with optimized air

I don'#039t drive the Golf in the winter time (I sold the winter tires some time ago and there has been a lot of snow). I only got to maneuver the car in my yard. So, I can'#039t really provide an accurate feedback. I would have really liked to see how the seats and steering wheel feel, but I'#039ll have to wait for spring. I'#039ll provide my first impressions after the first, proper, spring

Hi mate what head unit do you have?
It’s a lemon shark rcd360 pro from AliExpress. I also had the canbus adapter to stop the battery drain. I’ve disconnected the whole head unit and the draw was the same
