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.

You can but you will still lose coolant. The whole head is full with it and I think some from the cabin heater will come out aswell. Do yourself a favor and change the flange aswell with a metal one. They are nutorio

Battery drain after fitting new gateway
Last Poster: Ash1910 in Mk5 General Area on December 16, 2024, 02:28:44 pm
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

Yeah, the pump was $100 so no regrets. I'll sell the old one for $40 and I at least know that I can rely on the new one when I push for more power.

The dirty wheel is the rear with Pagid pads. That'#039s only after about 100 miles. After another 100 it'#039s really dirty and the front s


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

Long term member but New to mk6… advice/help please
Last Poster: Ricky123 in MK6 General Area on December 13, 2024, 11:33:04 pm
Hi all,

Recently got my hand on my first mk6 GTi after owning several mk5s and several vag motors.

So…

It’s a 59 reg car

It has oem Bluetooth with the menu on dash/clocks but when I try pairing with my iPhone it says it’s not compatible?
There’s a phone option on the stereo which I believe is an RCD510 but it doesn’t seem to allo

Hi,

Trying to see if the owner of a Black 5 door Pirelli Reg YR08 FKO is one here.

I have a folder full of history for the car which I can pass on before it gets binned.

Cheers

also when driving if i come to a quick stop especially after giving it some it will drop the revs below idle or even cut out completely

I have the same thing in mine. Some guy said it'#039s cause of the aftermarket air intake but it does the same with the stock one. I think it'#039s map related. The way you counter this is by keeping the clutch pressed in until

Re: Starting and EPC light
Last Poster: TheBALDpuma in Mk5 General Area on December 10, 2024, 03:51:15 pm
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!


DSG reset
Last Poster: lazy in Mk5 General Area on December 08, 2024, 01:05:35 pm
Does anyone know if there is a difference between resetting using the accelerator pedal and ignition key method, compared to using VCDS and going in the ECU and resetting.
