Mk5 General Area / Cambelt

I've just had my cambelt replaced. Is it normal for the cover to be this close to the pulley? I originally thought this coolant pipe was wedging up against it but its still the same after moving it away.

Technical Workshop / GTI Pirelli MKV Steering column

« Last post by jeru31 on April 22, 2026, 07:40:11 pm »

Hey guys, set up my car to the garage today, because the car is vibrating from 50 mile an hour and up and also when I'm breaking at speed, They recommended i change the brake discs which are the same ones I've had for the last 7 years, But they also suggested that the clicking and creeking is coming from the steering column, I would like to know how much is it going to cost to fit and code the steering column? Has anyone got any recommendations of where I can take it and get this done or whether I should just buy a second hand refurbished steering column and take it somewhere, I'm based in East London, I appreciate any help you can give,thanks

Mk5 General Area / Noisy new Low Pressure Fuel Pump

« Last post by TheBALDpuma on April 22, 2026, 12:43:17 pm »

Hi everyone,

I've just had my LPFP replaced because and the new (aftermarket) one is significantly louder than the original. I can't say I ever really heard it before but I now have a constant whine I can hear from inside the cabin at tick over.

It's pretty annoying tbh but I can live with it as long it's not actually faulty - and the garage say that it isn't.

I can't find a price for a genuine one online, does anyone know what they cost? (Also can't get through to my local dealer at the minute their phones are busy)
