There's no unusual sounds when switching off.

The rattle sound doesn't start straight away on on start up, it seems to ease in as it warms up.

Ask the tester! Could be the console bushes, worth asking.

Hi
Thanks for the reply.

I am at a loss. I think I will just drive it till I can save up the money to send it out.
Going to keep looking for a factory service manual.

i'#039ve now resolved this issue. since changing the master cylinder, i couldn'#039t get the clutch bleeded correctly. i kept pressure bleeding and pressure bleeding but the pedal would still feel terrible.

Re: How Much Does Wheel and Tyre Affect Ride Comfort
Last Poster: ArkadyPaul in Mk5 General Area on March 02, 2026, 03:47:53 pm

The ride is definitely softer on 17” tyres, the increase in sidewall should always improve the comfort level, albeit with a slight deterioration in handling.

Re: Advice on buying a Mark 5 GTi
Last Poster: MKVASMR in Mk5 General Area on February 26, 2026, 08:07:58 pm

If the lack of any equipment doesn't bother you than go for it. I would thoroughly check the car for rust (especially the sills and underbody).
