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…

Been planning to retrofit cruise control to the GTI and finally did it today.
Hardest part was fitting the missing control wire with mine being a 2005 and missing it. I made and then added the missing control wire as people ask stupid money for it, nbsp by ordering the different pins from Aliexpress etc.....fitted and worked perfectly. I also got a secondhand stalk 1K095351

Hi, I'#039m hoping that the lovely moderators accept this post as it is a genuine offer. The background: I moved to Australia two years ago anticipating being back in the UK within twelve months. I have now bought a house and have no plans to return to the UK any time soon. This means that the 2006 (55 plate) Tornado Red MkV Golf GTI I left on my parents'#039 drive in Staffordshire is no

As well as the above, the intake valves/ports can get gummed up with carbon due to the direct injection set up.
Injectors are a weak point causing misfires
I had an Edition 30 until 4 years ago, I also had issues with:
passenger door lock
ABS sensors and hubs (rear)
Intercooler hose fitting, required new hose
coil packs and plugs after rem

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
