MK5 Golf GTI

It would take more than that to upset me... 

Loving the new stance.

Such a playa.

Keeping up eh ;)

Meh....... possibly! Youll have to try a bit harder until yours is mapped. 

New CAN gateway ordered too, so I definitely wont have a problem with battery drain... a bit of searching revealed that my K version would suffer.

Absolute PITA to get the can out..... managed to blow the fuse for the headlight washers whilst removing the relays infront... not quite sure how! 

Ill in... jobs a good 'en! Big thanks to eddie and particularly golfman.

I had a few of these blow Rich, they only happened after fitting the RNS' for me too...

Yeah?

It was odd... i got a spark whilst moving the connectors around... and then got a "short to ground headlight washer" error in VCDS 

Hmm.

I don't know if the RNS' adds a load to the canbus that means that something else will suffer, or, if the HLW fuses are a weak link anyway... (?)

I remember I cleared just the one occurrence with a VCDS scan/diag & report by clearing the DTC's and telling it to go find strife again. I replaced two fuses in total I think in 3.5 years of having it, 3 of those with the RNS...

This happened before I had put the 510 in.... it happened as I was wrestling with the CAN gateway 

Ohh... and £3.50 for two... TWO... 20a fuses in Halfords! 

V9 maps?
