Hey guys. So i was riding down the highway while it was raining, and suddenly my stereo completely stopped working, replaced the radio fuse, stereo fuse and finally got it to work, but as soon as i cranked up the volume my drivers side woofer started to crackle. Thinking it was the speaker it’s self, i drilled the rivets and got a matching part number speaker. When i connected the

You haven'#039t said where you'#039re based. These guys in Birmingham are about as cheap as it gets: https://www.citywheelrefurbishment.co.uk/Prices start from £30 a wheel, that'#039s powder coat finish. See their website for all the options. I used them on my Subaru, the wheels were very poor. They did an ok job, not perfect but I can'#039t complain at that p
Help Needed – Right Door Window Motor & Horn Not Working on Mk5 GTI
Last Poster: GTolf2008 in Technical Workshop on January 16, 2025, 04:57:21 pm
Hi everyone,
I'#039m troubleshooting a couple of electrical issues on my Mk5 GTI (2008):
Horn Issue:
The horn doesn’t work.
I removed the horn and tested it, and it works fine.
However, there’s no electric signal at the horn connector when tested with a 12V tester.
I’ve checked all the fuses, and they’re fine.

Hi everyone! First time posting on here so sorry for any mistakes. I recently straight piped my MK5 GTI 3” all the way through and although I love the sound it can be a little too loud. Particularly when cold starting it during anti social hours nbsp  So I purchased a Valved Muffler box to install into my exhaust system so I can switch between loud and

Hey Andy, I bought an AliExpress one 4 years ago and it'#039s still doing fine. I fitted a NoName Mk6 headunit with carplay and it went straight into the factory input for a camera. I can'#039t recall if my RNS310 that got removed had one or not but the 510 might? Or you might need a interface box to make that happen, and then also VCDS to code it in. I did have to '#039finesse'#039 part of th
