I bought a magnaflow 200 cel for mine and had it welded in (worked out the cheapest option doing it this way), passed 3 mots but then failed, I think this is the most you can hope for with the majority of them. I’ve heard BCS powervalve are one of the best but you will pay a premium.
Re: MK5 GTI - Intercooler Hoses leaking again. Replacement suggestions please.

The problem is the internal bore of the metal discharge pipe wears away from engine rocking, which no amount of new seals will fix.
In the end I got a very low mileage S3/6R discharge pipe with a mint bore and a 6R intercooler and the problem went away. nbsp I also went with the S3/6R boost hoses as cutting the bayonets off the stock hoses isn'#039t quite as good. Reason being

Hi @Goanfox, First of all, I’d like to thank you for all the detailed information. I’ve actually purchased the same kit and am planning to install it. Could you provide more details about the pin in the door controller for the ambient light? Also, if you have any VCDS instructions, would

I have read and hear that the MK5 GTI HVAC system was not very good designed but it can not be that bad... I have the car since 6 year aprox and always had this feeling.
Re: Edition 30 OE paint codes

I used to be a fairly regular poster here when I had my Edition 30; that’s long gone but about 18 months ago I bought a 2006 5 door GTI from a friend who’s owned it from new. nbsp I have all the service documents, the original bill of sale and order with VW and this car has all the options VW offered at the time - apart from bucket seats I think. nbsp The original owner wasn’t especiall
