New GTi Owner
« on: November 07, 2012, 07:15:09 am »
A massive thanks to all the other VW Golf owners who've posted up advice to everything I could've ever asked for, that's why I haven't needed to post.

I've now owned a MK5 Golf GTi '55 plate with 28K on the clock for about 2 months and I'm chuffed to bits, two visits to the dealer has made my wallet lighter but it's been worth the money.

No plans to modify or tweak - I've done that with the last two cars and I'm dead chuffed with the stock setup.

Keep up the great work MK5GolfGTI forum, very proud to be a member of the new community.

There's some lovely motors there guys and thanks for the modifications support, this community is huge.

I'll get some pictures up very soon.

I've come from a highly modified Mazda MX5 and RX7 - so thanks for the mods suggestion Monte, but I've got another expensive hobby called dancing which sucks up the cash but it's worth every penny.

My eyes nearly fell out BrookesB32 when I saw the mileage, I almost don't want to drive it and keep the mileage low.

PS. Just a quick one for the mods - I may need to PM someone from the VCDS register (what a great idea) about getting basic settings done - when does the facility become active as I'm aware I'm a new member.

I thought they'd be a post count limit, I knew I should've read the FAQs, thanks for the really very early morning replies, I thought I was the only one up before 6.

Agreed! A good search normally finds what you need to know, great forum!  :happy2:

Wow! Thats nothing of a mileage - i'd imaging you've got plenty of trouble free and fun miles ahead!
