liquidTT for the MK5
« on: September 30, 2009, 03:37:19 pm »
Hi, I hope you can help with a bit of product development.

There are two things I would appreciate feedback on;

1) The MK5 OBD functionality and
2) Suggestions for mounting options of the liquidGOLF for the MK5

On the first topic, my question is on whether the K-line is implemented on the various MK5 petrol engines, I have tested on a GT TDi and is was there , this means that the current liquid gauge will run on MK5 diesels. if you are not sure what it is, see my A3 TDi here

To test this you would need an old (non CAN) vagcom cable.
 


On the second, the liquidGOLF Mk4 was designed to be mounted in the side air vent, but many people asked for a centre vent option, so can you feedback on your preference for the Mk5 as I'm just about to get tooling created for the MK5.

The side air vent pulls out easily, the centre vent is a bit more work but still pretty easy.

See here

Thanks for any help you can give.

LOL, a clear tongue-in-cheek failure there. I was kidding... I would want it bigger though to be honest, but as a starter it has some good features for sure.

Sideways yo!
