Hi, my names Ricky and im from West London  and I have just picked up my new mk5 2009 golf gt tdi 140bhp 3dr in reflex silver, I previously had a mk4 golf gti anniversary 1.8t and now that is up for sale i have decided to switch over too diesel and loving the mpg so far  :P
Future plans are to get a remap and just add a few oem accessories to the car, cruise , rns510 , parking sensors, phone prep
hopefully will be going to a few shows this year also cheers Ricky.

Welcome Ricky,


I'm sure you'll love it here mate.  :happy2:

Some nice mods you got there. If you are getting a diesel remap you need to contact DavePDT  :notworthy:  Great remaps.

H&R or Eibach springs would be my first mod and then the RNS510.  :wink:

….parking sensors and cruise would be waaaaaay down the list for me. We will all help you spend your hard earned cash  :laugh:


Don't forget to get some photos up!!!


Carlo.  :smiley:

Yes Ricky and the pictures are the ones of you fitting those mods before you pull all your hair out (RNS510) - only kidding mate!

Plenty good solid advice on here, just use the search function and a bit reading before getting the tools out or parting with any cash!

Mind the MK4 will be a big miss quality car there mate.
