Mk5 General Area / Re: Anyone have this fitted

« Last post by Octoparrot on Yesterday at 01:13:57 pm »

I had the DNX516DABS fitted in my car. Decent enough unit and integrated easily with the steering controls etc but I was looking to swap it for a more modern unit with wireless connection before I eventually got rid of the car.

I find Google better as it deep dives better into the forum

Just add mk5golfgti.co.uk to the search keywords and you're golden.

If the lack of any equipment doesn't bother you than go for it. I would thoroughly check the car for rust (especially the sills and underbody).

Hey guys

My name is Diogo.
I have a 2008 Volkswagen Golf V GTI 2.0 TFSI 200HP.
I have a 250HP remap with NGK coils and spark plugs, a Racingline air filter, and a downpipe.

I'm thinking about changing my K03 turbo to a K04 and will soon be posting more about my GTI project.
Thanks for stopping by.
I send a big hug to the whole community.
Diogo, VW Golf V GTI

Hello all,

I am possibly looking to buy the above referenced car,   I was wondering if it was a known forum car or any ex owners on here?


Thanks

Looks a very nice car in the ad. If the cambelt and water pump are changed and there are no other 'to-do' items, then £6K is a fair price especially given the low mileage.

I would double check there is a wire and not make the assumption, as the car might see the stalk but it is not being received by the ECU.

I sell the wire if needed, as if everything else is fitted and coded that is all
