Side Sill Cover
Last Poster: mcgc0 in Mk5 General Area on Today at 12:43:54 pm
Trying to source a genuine L/H side sill plastic trim/cover - Part # 1K4853859B9B9. Looking at parts images it seems it is fixed with (tapping) screws at the bottom with a peel-off adhesive strip along its length at the top. I have seen other images and parts mentions of trim brackets too but not sure if these are required or come with the new cover - no seller images describe or s

I remember a few years ago reading that what someone had done with theirs after replacing the lumbar support a few times and it repeatedly breaking, they cable tied the two pieces together and it worked well for them. Unfortunately I can't give you any more information because I haven't had one of these seats apart, but I hope that's of some help to you.

Good work, look forward to seeing what you did to refresh the rear beam and underside. This is a job to do on mine next spring.

Today, I noticed that my car’s battery voltage was at 9 volts, which seems unusually low. For some context, I recently made a couple of changes: I switched the CANBUS nbsp to the 7N0 variant and coded it properly I also have an rcd330 as well as the adapter for MSFW (Multifunction Steering Wheel) functionality with my RCD330. But I’m still getting battery drain, could this just be a f

Milltek exhaust leak
Last Poster: MKVASMR in Mk5 General Area on December 15, 2024, 03:27:50 pm
Hi guys, I’ve fitted a cat back Milltek exhaust and after a few days I’ve noticed some soot on the clamps.
I did it as I saw it on another forum with the clamps being on the end of connections.
I’ve also put some GumGum exhaust paste before sliding the parts together.
Is there a specific torque for the clamp bolts? I did it hand tight, didn’t wanted to use an impac

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!
