Interesting, and a shame at the same time. Drags the brand down. Brembo once the go-to for brakes.

Slow progress so far. UK sill covers I ordered on eBay were non-OEM and are thin grey smooth plastic type that need priming then top/final coat - my fault, I should have checked first. Taking the hit and return posting these.
The LLL part recommended earlier, when I checked availability, replied back to say part # 1K4 853 859 B 9B9 is no longer supported/offered, which i
Wrong steering module for paddles?
Last Poster: flabbymallow in Mk5 General Area on December 25, 2024, 01:13:05 am
Hi everyone,
I bought myself an mk5 r32 steering wheel with paddles and no MFSW to fit to my mk5 gti which has neither paddles or MFSW at the moment.

I remember a few years ago reading that what someone had done with theirs after replacing the lumbar support a few times and it repeatedly breaking, they cable tied the two pieces together and it worked well for them.

Hi guys, I’ve fitted a cat back Milltek exhaust and after a few days I’ve noticed some soot on the clamps.
I did it as I saw it on another forum with the clamps being on the end of connections.
I’ve also put some GumGum exhaust paste before sliding the parts together.
