Hello there,
New member from Scotland,recently bought myself a mk5 GT TDI 170,this is my second golf had a mk4 GT TDI 150 for a couple years and never had any problems with it and fancied a Mk5 so I went out and bought this one
I wasn't happy with the condition of the wheels so I had them re painted now they're corrosion free,I also changed the back bumper to a gti one and added a gti front lower spoiler too.
I'd like to say I've had the same reliability with the new one but things have gotten off to a rocky start,broke down on 2nd day of ownership which turned out to be a dodgy fuel pump got that sorted then started to notice a slight miss at idle which is intermittent,no faults in the engine ECM,then the DPF light came on so I carried out re gen,light then off but it keeps popping back on every couple weeks which is a bit annoying,next issue with the car was a loud knock from the o/s/f which is due to a faulty rack,so not a good start by any means.
I started to search online regarding these issues and saw a lot of things on here so I decided to join up.
I'll be getting a new rack in after the new year and get the miss sorted out too hopefully then I'll be happy and just need to hope no other issues occur
Cheers
