Nice spec, If I would buy another it would be a 5 door too. Do you keep the AUDI too?

They all have a number on them and you can get copies.
If you dont know number make a plastacine mold from your wheel nut and compare number ans shape of splines.

Re: Flashing PRNDS - flashes starts when gear selector button depressed
Last Poster: dave1814 in How to Guides / Troubleshooting on March 01, 2025, 09:44:40 pm

Almost 4 years later and I finally solved this issue.

I took the cover off from around the ignition and the ignition barrel lock sensor fell out!!!

Put this back in and no more flashing on the dash!

Hope this helps someone!

I'#039ve attached an image of said sensor!

Power loss after replacing clutch/flywheel?
Last Poster: hcmzah in Mk5 General Area on March 01, 2025, 06:06:32 pm

Hi all, my mk5 gti'#039s clutch started to slip recently (144k miles) so I'#039ve got the clutch and flywheel replaced. I'#039ve bought the parts from here https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/235644487776

After the replacement, the car feels a lot less torquey in the low rpms, less responsive and rev hangs slightly.

I did pay just under £400 for the clutch kit and flywheel whic

Re: Golf 5 1.4 TSI 122 hp Reliability
Last Poster: ZoliWorks in Mk5 General Area on February 28, 2025, 11:36:45 am

The 122hp version is built like a tank. It is probably as reliable as the golf 4 75hp 1.4 was. I'#039ve owned mine for 4 years now and the only thing that failed was the ABS unit. The car is stage 1 mapped to 155hp. If you want reliability, go with the 122. Just make sure you get the timing chains done asap and not only replace the tensioner chain guides but also the tensioners themse

Re: ambient lights on a mk5
Last Poster: Goanfox in Cosmetic/Interior Modifications on February 26, 2025, 07:59:27 pm

I am probably not the best person to explain this, there might be some variations in door controle modules.
What i can say is that i ended up searching youtube and the forum for most of the information on pins and vcds coding and what not. It was a more of figuring it out as i went along kind of thing. sorry i wasnt much help.

Hi Evander,
Did it throw any codes? And what light flashed on the dash, check engine? And have you or someone else done any work on the car recently?
