Maybe not a GTi but it's still a Mk5, will sort of
« on: November 12, 2010, 05:50:30 pm »
Evening,

Just thought i would say hello.

Coming over from uk-mkivs i see a lot of familiar names.

I have had various Vw's including a Bora V5, Golf 1.8T GTi and a couple of other cars for the VAG family and currently drive a 2006 Jetta TDi with a MASSIVE 105bhp engine. I had to downgrade to a Diesel due to a 70 mile a day commute and the GTi has relieving me of up to £300 a month so regrettably it had to go. The Jetta isn't going to set the world alight and it is a little slow (cough) on the uptake but it gets there in the end. Plus it's darn cheap to run!

I'm happy with the Spec so any changes I make are going to be purely asthetic, but I do plan to:

- Change the Alloys - Still considering options as i want to retain the OEM look.
- Change the RCD300 stereo for either a RCD310 or RCD510 (Looking at this at the moment I have a new Gateway and everything I need just not VCDS to program the Gateway)
- Remap
- Possibly lower - 50/50 at the moment
- Darn good Was/Polish and Wax!

This is the Jetta at the moment, excuse the wheels!

A Warm Welcome!  :happy2:

I don't see many Jetta's around. Does yours have LED tail lights?

....I think they do too but I'm not very familiar with any of the Mk5 Jetta's.



Are yours like this? (LED's are fitted to outer units only - The inners have no LED bulbs)

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

Welcome over.
Out of curiosity, did VW ever release a Jetta Estate in the UK?
