Maybe for somebody who’s Looking for a GTI I don’t know how this works but a YouTuber “Saving Salvage” is giving a GTI away on “Compete for cars” Looks like it has been in a timecapsule…  Don’t shoot me of how this “Compete stuff” is working😅 Hopefully sombody can be the owner of this nice & clean example 😎👍🏻 For some reason I can’t upload a screenshot of it on here now?!?🙄 Go check it out on YouTube…

So, as I was saying, more information about the latest track day...
The car performed great, once more. I still have the random missfire issue that the car has been plagued with since the start but it did not interfere with the having fun part. Not being able to rev the engine past 6k for the fear of missfire will have an impact on the time. Thankfully I'#039ve had faster cars so

Yeh, I've researched it in the meantime and it's definitely worth trying since it's such a cheap change. I've bought a new one and now I'm just waiting for an opportunity to fit it, so, fingers crossed and I'll post back either way. Thanks for the advice

On our golf GTi Mk 5 some pins that click into the rail to set the seat at the preferred position seem to have gone, so the seat can move say 6 inches backwards then 6 inch forward, I.e. it’s not locking into a fixed position. Somebody said those pins or whatever are now not available. Is there a fix? The local garage has swopped the ’pins’ from the passenger seat to the drivers se

It'#039s just a case of airbag off (the hardest part imo) , steering wheel off, change stalk then as above coding which can be done with vcds.
When I did it I was working at a VW garage and the master tech there did the coding on the factory diagnostic tool.
There will no doubt a forum post how to code it f you Google hard enough. Does appear some early mk5 requi

Had a very tired windscreen replaced.
No specific MOT fail damage but a plethora of tiny chips and scratches making it hazardous in the low winter sun.
2008 model with rain sensors , was a surprisingly decent quote for £245 without insurance (my 2010 TTS was nearer £600)…but my insurance agreed to cover it so it was £150 excess instead (no impact to NCB).

Hi, I have a mk5 GTi in Graphite blue and I am about to get the original Monza'#039s refurbished. Originally diamond cut but now in poor condition so was planning on getting them powder coated and doing a colour change. Was thinking gloss black but was wondering if anyone has any advice on what colour to go for. I think I prefer powder coating as your supposed to get more longevity ou

Welcome & indeed a very fun car to drive 😉 Enjoy it! And as mentioned above… keep an eye on timingbelt, camfollower & chain. Plug a scantool on it. Regular fluid changes for engine and gearbox… and you’ll have fun forever😊

Plugs have been out, they look fine. Swapped those around too. Compression test i’ll do tomorrow although i doubt its low on compression simply because of the way its running, theres definitely no power loss and no smoke.
