So I sent the ECU off to ECU Repair and they sent it back saying it was untestable so I decided to buy a salvaged part from eBay and have mine cloned and replace it.

Replacement ECU fitted today, and so far so good with no issues starting yet so I'm tentatively saying it's sorted!

Re: Which brake pads and discs?
Last Poster: mjmallia in Mk5 General Area on Yesterday at 07:25:23 am

You will always get dust, but with my recent setup I am using Brembo pads all round.  No issues or difference in dust creation.

I have the 345mm front and 310mm rear setup

Does anyone know if there is a difference between resetting using the accelerator pedal and ignition key method, compared to using VCDS and going in the ECU and resetting.

Thanks for the info!  Main thing is its done well and lasts.  I'm going to try glueing mine myself but don't expect it to be permanemt fix due to all the foam/dust on headliner tray. Might try these guys if / when goes again.

Is anybody in the market for a Mk6?
Last Poster: slynch23 in MK6 General Area on December 05, 2024, 09:03:49 pm

Hi guys, baby number 2 means my Mk6 GTI is no longer fit for purpose, I can barely fit in the drivers seat now with a baby seat behind me. Thought I’d check here to see if anyone is after one before putting it on piston heads. It’s 5dr DSG in silver. Heated Leather seats, front and rear sensors, electric mirrors, cruise control. Full service history. 66k on the clock. I bought it i

I do not believe they are available.

What I did was fit some foam tape on top of the existing stuff........like this

Re: Car sputters with MAF plugged in. When unplugged it drives perfect. Why?
Last Poster: mjmallia in Mk5 General Area on December 05, 2024, 08:09:29 am

Most prob the MAF as said, as it sounds like it is failing/failed and unable to read the air flow correctly......running rich to be safe

With it unplugged you will be using baseline settings, but will not be getting the best out the engine as it does not know exactly how much air is entering the car to calculate combustion.

Buy genuine for the MAF in my opinio

Re: Power folding mirror modules.
Last Poster: mjmallia in Mk5 General Area on December 04, 2024, 09:00:18 am

You need the mirror units which are all the same I believe, but there are three generations of window modules for the Mk5

Being a 2005 I would say it is the first generation which may be harder to find.......none the less a nice project if your prepared to hunt for parts over time.

Last Poster: dennis10 in Mk5 General Area on December 03, 2024, 11:30:29 am

Forgot to add, when I replaced the spark plugs I poked my little borescope camera down the holes and took photos. Is there anything to be discerned from these? I think cylinder 3 does look a bit darker than the other 3 cylinders, but the spark plugs all had a healthy colour
