VW self tapping screws N10354602 20mmx5mm come with the fitting kit.  I used 3M double sided tape Sill will have to be very clean for the tape to hold properly  The blocks underneath are vital

@Octoparrot I couldn't agree more, for the money and the overtaking shove it was worth it. True enough i don't have the sticker on the window of some insta-famous tuner but they have been around enough years and must have done thousands of maps over different platforms to know roughly what they are up to. I was almost not going to put who did the map but kinda glad I did now.

Mk5 General Area / K03 turbo outlet diameter

« Last post by ajmludders on April 10, 2024, 10:43:15 am »

I am thinking of upgrading the full exhaust system from the OEM stock but wondering if a 3-inch system will fit onto the stock k03 turbo mounting?

So for example would a Miltek 3-inch downpipe fit onto the K03 turbo mounting?

Thanks in advance!

Mk5 General Area / Question for those that have had their sills replaced

« Last post by Marticus on April 09, 2024, 12:01:22 pm »

Hi all,

It's time to replace the sills on my golf as they're both showing signs of rust, I've got a quote for the work and booked in for a month of so, but one question that came up was about fitting the sideskirts.

I told him that it was a standard setup (with the sideskirt carrier bolted into the sill), the problem is that when I look on ETKA I can't see a separate part number for a sill with the holes / fittings for the skirts in place.

And when I look for replacements online they're solid with no holes or anything that I can see to accommodate the sideskirt.

So question is whether there is a specific part for the sill, or if the carrier and skirt just self tap into the metal work? From removing mine it felt like there is something behind the metal that the screws go into, but maybe it's just rust!
