After a bit of negotiation, the car was mine. I had never driven a DSG before, so this was a bit of a new experience for me, but after a very short time I was in love with it.
Spec is as follows:
2005 (55) 5 door GTI
Black Magic Pearl paint
DSG
18" Monzas
MFSW
Leather Interior
Xenons
Im quite new to the car scene, but have plans for a few mods already.
In no particular order they are:
Remap
The car is going in to VW Parkway in Derby next week to have the front wings replaced under the 12 year corrosion warranty, hoping to get the rear valance colour coded at the same time. The wheels are in need of a refurb, but that can wait for the minute.
Im mainly looking to start with cheap mods as lm unemployed due to disability, so any comments or suggestions of what I can look at improving will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for looking.
Ben.

Also worth querying about coilpack recall!

MUCH better, and l have to say that the service l received at Parkway was really good too.
Also I purchased a few minor mods from Waynevr6 on here which lve now fitted.
Seat inserts

The seats look SO much better with these, I think they fill the handle really well.
I also fitted some DSG paddle extenders, will post pics in a bit.
Comments welcome, as always, but before you say anything I know my car neads a wash!

Here are the DSG extenders, love the look of them, they make changing gear so much easier on a 'spirited' drive, especially around the country lanes.

I know its high. It came with full history with receipts etc. its been well looked after. All recalls etc done, and all parts replaced with VW. Was expecting to find some corners cut, especially at the price l paid, but everything l look at on the car is quality. Its got a full set of Goodyear F1s on it too which was a welcome bonus.
nice car good spec well done especially at the price l paid ?
under 5 grand or over 5xxx ?

Much better.
Did the wing mirror switch and all other mirror switches at the same time. Looks so much better now. But I now need to replace the grab handles as these are looking incredibly tatty.
Next mods will be the Cherry Red Hazard Switch when it arrives, and hopefully a new head unit at the same time.

Mods Already Fitted.
Carbon Fibre Paddle Shifters
GTI Seat Inserts
Chrome Switches
Interior LEDs
Passenger Side Wing Mirror Cover
Tinted Indicator Lenses
Purchased But Not Yet Fitted.
Rev G Diverter Valve
Rev R PCV
Cherry Red Hazard Switch
Underseat Drawer (Passenger Side Only)
Boot Pop Mod (Still Needs Coding In)
Highline Clocks (973 to work with MFSW)
TO DO
Kenwood DNX520/521 or RNS 510, buying the RNS would mean I would have to purchase a new Canbus Gateway and a Bluetooth Module and an iPod Connection, so the Kenwood h/u looks a more affordable option.
I'm also going to get (in no particular order)
Wheel Refurb (Any recommendations near to Burton/Derby/West Mids?)
Dead Pedal (http://www.creationsmotorsport.com/product-detail.php?pid=142)
Porsche Oil/Coolant Caps
New Interior Door Handles
Intake
Cam Follower
If anyone has any advice on any of these mods, please let me know.
Ben.

Took the car for a full service and had the DV and Cam Follower changed at the same time.
Whilst trawling Ebay and Facebook managed to pick up some bargains:
Powerflex polybushes,
Audi R8 oil and coolant caps,
Chrome fuel release switch,
Forge motorsports charcoal canister piping in red,
R32 rear lights,
GTI sill protectors.
A few weeks ago l was hit by a young driver, his family wanted to pay for the repairs privately so took the opportunity to purchase a PPC GB R32 style rear bumper. Still waiting for this to arrive but when it does will put some pics up.
Yesterday l travelled to Car Electronics Derby to get my new headunit installed. Went from this: (https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2Fr697%2FBbfb10%2FC4308AE5-CB5E-4EDB-88BD-4D4AE1AB8788_zpsfwdhpts8.jpg&hash=9709f40570385e593e3cd566b5827b53f33d2d5b)

Looks much better.
Then swapped the standard oil and coolant caps for R8 ones.
The oil cap is brand new from Stoke Audi, about £33 delivered l think.

Your replacement looks just the job. Is that DAB, Bluetooth, ipod, nav etc? If you don't mind me asking, how much? (and did they fit as well?).

I got the headunit off ebay for around £500, it has Nav, CD, Bluetooth, DAB radio out of the box, iPod lead is extra but only about £15 for a genuine Kenwood one. It is a decent bit of kit, the sound is way better than the standard unit too, lm really pleased with it.
In terms of fitting, lm a complete numpty when it comes to being 'handy' so l paid to have it done, cost about £60, and l couldnt be happier with the service l received. I know a lot of people will say l should have had a go at fitting it myself, but £500 is a lot of cash to me and ld rather get it done professionally than potentially break something. I also got them to swap my hazard switch over while they were doing the install.
Thanks for your comment, if youre local (Im in Staffordshire) Id be happy to let you come and have a look before you shell out for your own. Saying that, after reading all the reviews on forums etc l was pretty sure it was going to be a good choice.
Post by: barlimow on March 22, 2015, 09:15:18 pm
For £560 all-in, that looks great. Like you, I would want it fitted by someone, and for £60 a no-brainer. Also read that some VW dealers are selling it as well, so might see what they can do, and also see if I can find a decent local place to supply/fit.

Been doing some research since posting, and it looks like a very good option, so is probably "the one", but may take you up on it if I need convincing (albeit I'm in Coventry, so not exactly too local but not a million miles away either).

Today, after getting back from Mackenzies VW in Lichfield none the wiser about why my car started shaking at 2000 revs, I decided to fit my Forge Motorsports carbon canister hoses.
I spoke to @th3_f15t (http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=8969) after seeing his installed in his build thread, he gave me advice as to what size jubilee clips to buy, so, a trip to Halfords and I was ready to go. Fitting was easy, just a case of getting the original clamps off, removing the hoses and replacing with the Forge ones.
(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2Fr697%2FBbfb10%2FF84D1F72-8DEC-499D-B70C-7C18C2FEFC4E_zpskipvao0h.jpg&hash=41b996b08cb36fc1f48a5a35dab4a1a9f4df05da)
Looking good! :happy2:
Next job is to finally get around to fitting my Forge TwinTake. Hopefully if the weather continues to be nice l will get it done in the next few days.

Car had been running rough for a while, EML light would flash on occasionally. Went to a local Indy VW Specialist who scanned it and "diagnosed" a problem on cylinder 4 so promptly binned my nice red R8 coil pack, put in a crappy black one, turned off the fault light and charged me £80 and had my car for a day. Needless to say next time l took the car out the fault reappeared. Not a happy boy.
While l was at Midland VW getting my suspension changed l booked it in for a new injector the following week. Got it fitted and now the car drives like a dream.
Its been an expensive few weeks on the mods front, with buying Eibach springs, Bilstein shocks, Powerflex bushes, Highline clocks, a new injector AND TTRS calipers. I now need @DaveB@Vagbremtechnic brackets and some discs and pads to go with them. Still waiting to hear back from @vRSAlex (http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=1981) about what kit he recommends. Once the brakes are sorted, its time for an exhaust.

Managed to pick up some auto folding mirrors with puddle lights and (l think) anti dazzle glass for £140 from a guy on Facebook, the mirrors arrived on Friday, but he forgot to include the door control modules, so is posting those out tomorrow.
Lots of work to be done to the car, just need a few free weekends now to do some work.

Ordered discs, pads and fitting kit from AKS Tuning also this week, so as soon as that package arrives, the brakes are going on.

@vw55raz (http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=6494) It took so long due to "supplier issues" I ordered the part in Feb when I had a bump in my car, thanks to an inexperienced driver, to get fitted when the top part of the bumper was being repaired. The PPC GB website had them listed as in stock but after a week l had received nothing, no emails, no valance. After a few phone calls I eventually spoke to the boss who blamed the supplier in Germany. Was a bit peed off to be honest, but its on the car now and looking good. One thing to note is that because of the flaring at the bottom of the valance, the arch liners dont fit perfectly. Not sure if the R32 arch liners are differently shaped to accommodate this?
Post by: Shoduchi on May 22, 2015, 09:22:49 pm
I fitted one of these: http://www.ebay.com/itm/261346495307 and the arch liners fitted well with GTI arch liners. I didn't check but I think they're the same as the R32.

Thanks to @DaveB@Vagbremtechnic and @vRSAlex (http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=1981) for supplying the fitting kit. Have only covered about 20 miles on them so far so cant comment on the performance too much, but they certainly stop the car! Had some squealing from the drivers side, but a few aggressive stop/starts seem to have fixed this.

On my way to work this morning I heard a bit of a noise whilst driving along the A38, as l went to slow for my junction there was a horiffic grating noise and the car pulled violently to the left. I managed to control the car and found a suitable place to stop. On examining the car, the caliper on the drivers side was hanging on by the lower bolt only!

I had somewhat a similar experience with my new AP Racing BBK, the mechanic did not center it properly so that the pad was in continuous contact with the disk.
Went to a trackday and this is the result:
(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2FParts%2Fcoocked_brakes%2FIMG_6147_zpsqdwrccfi.jpg&hash=21b3fb8377e75364acdb2a50cfb770d6134504c5)
Cooked calipers. I've asked him if he had used the centering washers from AP Racing, he told me there was no need as the calipers centered perfectly.
After this I've changed the mechanic after 4 years. :sad1:

The garage have said that the person who fitted the brakes will likely get sacked and have said they will 'put everything right' for me. Im missing work because of this, and as I work for myself, hopefully it will be sorted sooner rather than later.

Only slight gripe is that the colour isn't quite the same as the previous calipers. Old ones were a more 'cherry red' compared to these being more of a Tornado Red, but I don't mind that too much.
Think the modding will slow down a bit now, I have a list of things that I want to do to the car, but the planned mods are expensive and will require some serious saving up.

Tried in vain to get my hands to fit in the hole for changing the sidelight bulbs, sadly, as my hands are massive I had to give up and I didn't fancy taking the bumper off so I went cap in hand to the local Stealers. Paid £1.76 for two new bulbs from them and then got the tiny handed mechanic to put in my LED bulbs instead.
Also fitted the drivers side folding wing mirror and control module, I'm still not convinced that my door card is back on properly, but everything seems to be working ok, so that will do for me. Rain stopped play before I could fit the passengers side mirror, but hopefully Monday will be clear. Whilst the door card was off I fitted a chrome tipped fuel release flap button to complete the set.
This week I'm hoping to get over to see @Matto (http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=4512) to get my "Check Brake Pads" warning coded out and a few tweaks with his VCDS. Fingers crossed that soon I will have my boot pop enabled, footwell lights turned on and, if my CECM is compatible, cornering fogs too.
As always any comments or suggestions welcome.
Thanks for looking.

I used these guides to help with the install, first one I did (drivers side) took a lot longer than the passengers side, but once I knew where all the screws went the second side went on a lot quicker.

I will be taking my car to VW Parkway in Derby asap for them to take a look at it and will report back with what happens. My wing warranty claim was dealt with by Parkway so I'm hoping for a similar result.

Nice updates here, great mods :happy2:

To just swap the wires over without cutting I think you need a repair wire from VW as the wires are 2 different diameters :happy2:
Send me a PM if ever need repair wires, I normally have a couple donor looms I can pull from so pretty much all colour combinations and connectors available, not interested in making money from as long as postage and what not is covered to help forum members :happy2:

Got a service booked in for Tuesday, going to get them to fit my Autotech HPFP at the same time.
Just purchased a 200 cell Milltek downpipe (being delivered on Tues or Weds hopefully) and am waiting on a catback to come up at the right price to go with it. Once lve got these ready to go l will be after an intercooler and then booking a trip to R-Tech to go straight to Stage 2+.

Took my Milltek 200 Cell Sports Cat Downpipe I bought from @bluo (http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=9939) to the local fabricators to have a look at a tiny crack in the turbo flange, they're welding it up and tidying up a few welds for me today too, pics to follow when I get to pick it up this afternoon.
Also had a delivery from Parcelforce today, new Milltek Jet exhaust tips to go on the cat back system I bought from @howie1987 (http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=10115).
Got a big pile of parts now just waiting to go on, waiting on an intercooler then will book the car into R-Tech for a Stage 2+ tune and DSG map.
Post by: bbfb10 on March 29, 2016, 10:45:04 am
Im obviously going to get an intercooler ready for stage 2+ but not sure about if l should get other parts that may benefit the car before mapping. If anyone has any knowledge or experience of the following mods ld be interested to hear your opinions:
RS4 Fuel Pressure Return Valve
Runner Flap Delete
Uprated Engine and Transmission Mounts
Uprated Throttle and Discharge Pipes
I know these arent 'necessary' for Stage 2+ but would they help?
Post by: Shoduchi on March 29, 2016, 01:08:49 pm
-The RS4 RFV is only needed when you fit an upgraded HPFP.
-Get the Creations Motorsport RFD kit from ebay. Cheap and easily done when cleaning the intake manifold, that our engines need anyway.
-Uprated engine and transmission top mounts only needed if you want to lock your engine tight. The OEM won't last as much but can do the job for enough time, I think. They're parts that I'm only going to replace when my OEM ones are busted. I'm considering from Vibratechnics or Revo.
-Whatever you can do to improve the engines airflow will help to achieve a better output.

Dropped the car off at the garage this afternoon to change the oil pick up pipe and fit the exhaust while lm away in the Lakes for a few days.
Looking into getting the Intake Manifold cleaned when lm back, then fitting the RFD from Creations Motorsport.

Watching this with interest. I'm still 50/50 on a k03 hybrid or k04.guess it depends what power, you want. hybrid is probably easier as you just swap turbo, and use same injectors.
Post by: AJP on July 07, 2016, 03:20:56 pm
Yeah at the minute I'm swaying towards the hybrid. Just seems to make more sense than a k04. And could work out cheaper, as well as getting a new turbo rather than a possibly tired second hand k04.Watching this with interest. I'm still 50/50 on a k03 hybrid or k04.guess it depends what power, you want. hybrid is probably easier as you just swap turbo, and use same injectors.
Power wise, from the R-Tech graphs I've seen, k04 BWAs make about 360bhp and up to 400lbft with the right bolt-ons, and they got 360bhp and about 370lbft from a Beach Buggy Turbos k03 hybrid, on standard k03 injectors.
Strong case for the hybrid, but then the bread and butter k04 swap is tried and tested. I think either option will make me happy.

Good man! I spoke to Steve at Statller and he says it's only really aggressive boost and torque past 400lbft that causes problems.

That's impressive. Any figures. I was thinking of revo but they are generic and aggressive which wasn't what I was looking for. Custom map all the way. we will have to compare figures when done.

It's slightly laggier then k03 but not by much but when the k04 kicks in you know about it I wonder what a tte420 feels like :rolleye:
To be fair I do want to head up to RTECH to do their magic but I'm happy how it is for now until I get bored and put a CDL lump in and tte420 that :signLOL:...
Post by: AJP on July 07, 2016, 06:47:10 pm
I reckon you're probably close to the sweet spot with those figures. Past 400bhp would be a handful. But I suppose a diff would help.
The thing I don't want to lose is the quick spool of the k03. But for 350bhp+ I wouldn't mind losing a little bit!
