HI Guys

Its been over a year since our last request for donations. The forum kitty is empty again  :scared:

Thanks again for your support  :congrats: :congrats: :congrats: :congrats:

You can also send paypal payments (as gift) to donate(at)mk5golfgti.co.uk as paypal takes a cut on donations to money pools.

I've had something similar when my battery was dying and also when I forgot to tighten down my positive battery terminal. See if you can get someone to test the battery health. Anything with 60% or lower should be replaced.

Hi there, I was wondering if you could tell me where did you get the kit from and how did you install it? Thanks.

Fitted private plate - I wanted to de age the car and have something relevant to it - what do you think?

The removal of the drivers side wheel arch liner will allow you to stare at it face on.  Looking at replacing mine for maintenance reasons

Thank you, guys!

Slowly recuperating :) - as there is no rush...

Since I last wrote here, I paid a bit of attention to the other cars in the "quotfleet"quot - which got to be 6 up until a couple of months ago. I'#039ve let 2 go because I wasn'#039t really driving them - but the Golf was not one of them. nbsp :driver:

This year I went to the Nurburgring with my "quotd

Coming along nicely :happy2:

How thick are the bells on the AP racing rotors to get the BBS wheels to clear the calipers?  I think AP normally add 15mm thickness on top of the stock disc's 7mm?  Good to see they fit!

Are the bronze rims Rota?  They look pretty good, but not a fan of bronze though.

If anyone want to donate now.

Re: 200 Bar Fuel Rail Pressure Sensor & 3 Bar Boost Pressure Sensor Part Numbers
Last Poster: ZoliWorks in Mk5 General Area on September 13, 2024, 08:04:51 pm
Thanks! I found the same on AKS tuning, but when searching by those numbers, some of them have been replaced by newer ones. I can find the boost sensor when searching by part no but cant find the rail pressure sensor at my local parts dealer.

Edit: sorted it out, new dealer has both for about 80 euros total.


Re: Transporting seats - Will they fit?
Last Poster: Jons1001 in Mk5 General Area on September 13, 2024, 07:15:46 pm
With the back seats folded it will fit the 2 front seats and rear bench and backrest no problem. Bring some padding (cardboard) to stuff between and around to protect the seats and trims. I’ve got rubbing on the rear hatch panel from the seats moving against it.


Sent from my iPho

Edition 30 Rear Valance -Pearl Black (Genuine Part)
£80.00
Location: Manchester
Collection Only

For Sale is my old Pearl Black Edition 30 rear valance. This clips into the upper section of your rear bumper.
This was removed from my golf due someone backing into me at low speed causing surface cracks. (they offered to pay for a new valance)

The surface cracks are around the the number plate area which I've tried to photo the best i can.

The exhaust surround has been bonded back on by the body shop after an encounter with a high kerb a few years ago.

There are storage scratches on the paintwork so will need respraying. You will also need a towing eye cover.

All clips to clip the valance upper bumper section are intact and there is no sign of warping.

This is a genuine valance and was fitted to my ED30 from the factory.
