Hi all, new both to here and to MK5 ownership, I used to have a MK2 GTI when I was 18 and cool, the Mk5 came out during the time I had the MK2 and I always wanted to get into one but life got in the way, but we are here now.
Anyway, subframe creek. The car I bought suffers with a awful creaking noise, quick Google led to me to this very forum, so I bought the creations

just joined, didn'#039t know about this forum and unfortunately my MK5 gti dsg was written off the week before christmas
I will admit I have an ulterior motive for joining - I have quite a few MK5 spares, some brand new, that I want to give away - free, gratis, for nothing so do I still have to follow the rules for placing an ad?
i'#039d like them to go to a forum m
Re: Remanufactured CV Shaft

Also the CV boot shouldn't have any sort of hole in, water would get in and ruin the joint. One of my CV's was making a noise and I ended up getting a full shaft. I asked the parts supplier who we deal with to get me the best available and he got me a BGA one. It was a bit tight getting the gearbox end in but it's been on a few months now and haven't had any issues.

Re: Suspension Recommendation

Does anyone know what the spec is for the Bilstein B3 OE replacement springs? On AutoDoc it comes up with these for my 2007 GTI as a replacement fit and they are only £22.14 each which seems a bargain. This is for the rear springs. It notes them as for '#039standard suspension without a trailer hitch'#039. Does anyone know if these are the same dimensions as what would be on the car or o

Central Locking System not working, anyone know where I should start?!
Last Poster: StephenCabers in How to Guides / Troubleshooting on March 09, 2025, 05:01:03 pm
Hi all, I own a 1.9tdi mk5 and currently am having issues with the central locking, when I first got the car, it was intermittent, sometimes working sometimes not, however I recently looked at the fuse box on the drivers side and it had no fuse in it, I put a 25 amp in it and the fuse blew right away, tried a 30 and alas it still didn’t work… nbsp  Don
Re: Cant get Insured for a reasonable price
Last Poster: Smithy1222 in Mk5 General Area on March 07, 2025, 04:38:24 pm
I found out why it was so expensive, I was declaring wheel spacers and alloy wheels, and while alloy wheels didn't cause any issues my cheapest price dropped by over £1000 when removing wheel spacers. Tried Greenlight and they cant insure me with those mods declared, it must be some other factor which is causing it to be excessively expensive.
Thanks all for your replies!
