MK5 Golf GTI

Got a lil summit summit through the post today   



gonna lube it up and slide it in sometime this weekend  , this modding game is slighty addictive   

Good luck and take care whilst under your car.

Which one should I go for... the ECS one or the Neuspeed one.

Incidentally, Neuspeed list two different torque arm inserts (see link below)...anyone know what that is about?

Two totally different bushes.

The above is for 2009 and on cars.  Looks to be a more substantial bush too!

The above is for cars up to 2008.

Bought one ages ago and still haven't fitted it - need to pull my finger out !

and put two fingers in   

Thanks for getting back stokeballon.

My car was bought in Sept 08.  Is there any chance VW may have changed things so I would need to go for the 2009 one?

Or is that reserve for the new MK6 Golfs?

.....Mo, I think you may have got confused - These parts are aftermarket (Neuspeed) and not VW parts.

HTH (Hope This Helps)

Hi Robin, 

Just to clarify...I realise the "torque inserts" are aftermarket mods.  Just need to be sure that the one I get from Neuspeed is the right one.

The two listed on Neuspeed are supposedly for the MK5 GTi, but they look distinctively different, and as I have a late 08 MK5 GTi - I thought I may need the revised insert.

Hope this makes sense....

IIRC...the Neuspeed doesn't come with a bolt, whereas the ECS does. I have the ECS on mine.

OK, I'm going for the ECS one... Being a bargain hunter where is the cheapest place to buy this "butt plug", oops, sorry torque insert.

I suspect you'll have to pay Awesome's price for it.

^^^^
Retailers in the motorsport trade are very hard hit atm (so are other businesses offering imported goods) by the exchange rates. With some products it simply isn't viable stocking and selling them.

It's just that, rightly or wrongly, I have the impression that Awesome prices are on the steep side.

In any case, I've ordered it from them...
