Ed30 manual box slop removal (dieselgeeks)
Last Poster: csrigo in Technical Workshop on Today at 12:23:29 PM
Hi folks.
Has anyone bought a refurb bushing kit from diesel geeks etc? If so what did you buy exactly and any thoughts on it during/after fitting. Difficulties or tips?
Not got major play but looking to refurb the golf and I think this and a shifter kit would make a difference.
Any opinions welcome.
Cheers

I could be completely wrong but hearing it on the video I reckon a resonator will make a big difference and hopefully tone down the ASBO factor for you.
Finger's crossed for your emissions test today 
Cheers, any thoughts on black smoke? Hoping it's

Newer Passat Gateway in my MK5?
Last Poster: JjBCE in Technical Workshop on Today at 08:13:31 AM
Hey guys! I've just bought a CAN gateway for my mk5 on eBay to install a RCD330 and I couldn't find a proper "which can gateway to get for your mk5" topic so it was pretty much a blind buy.
It's a 7n0 907 530 Q from a 2014 Passat I believe and I was wondering if it was good for my Golf? It's supposed to work since it's a 907 530 part but you never know.
Thank

Just spoke to a vw head technician. Turns out there should be a 449 relay in the tip slot and it's been removed for some reason. Nothing to do with turning the door dial to heat and put rear screen button on too to get them to work.
Gonna test the wires with a multi meter before putting a relay in. Must have been removed for a reason and the technician warned me to chec

In the end, the Racing Yellow transaction did not go trough... I made the deal, asked the Dealer to complete the paperwork for me to pay the invoices in 2021. This was the deal all along but the Dealer suddenly requested to have the invoice issued in 2020 and paid in 2020 as well. That was very unprofessional of them and I decided to buy from someone else... They still have the car

Ok.... heres one for you all - I just recently completed a low-line to high-line cluster upgrade on my 2008 Jetta S 2.5.....
After months (and I mean MONTHS) of reading online and research, parts, tools, software, etc.... The surgery was a complete success....
Except.....
For some reason, I cannot seem to access the convenience menu via the MFD+....
Re: Clunking front end!!
Last Poster: reflexsilverfox in Mk5 General Area on January 24, 2021, 07:30:27 PM
I appreciate this is 2 years old now but finally figured out what the issue was.
The golf bust a rear spring which was picked up at MOT time, so I switched it back to stock ride height with new oem shocks and springs and lo and behold no more clunking from the front end! My mechanic reckoned the fact I was running stock droplinks when it was lowered 20mm on the ST kit b
Re: MK5 6 speed conversion
Last Poster: kexelt in New Member Intro's on January 24, 2021, 02:10:37 PM
Thanks, but still if there is a solution, I would like to try. The original 5th gear is very short and revs over 3.000rpm at a speed of 100km/h.
Thanks anyway

Going to fit the 034motorsport rear anti roll bar next month but is it worth putting adjustable anti roll bar links or new oem ones
New OEM or Lemforder ones. I had adjustable rose jointed ones years ago and they were absolute sh*te.... Plus, there is no point in ha

I ordered a set of primacy 4’s and after various discount codes and michelin cash backs i ended up paying £270.
Although, i ended up getting PS4’s fitted as thats what the shop received and they didnt notice when fitting and i only noticed when i got home.
So far thr PS4’s seem pretty good. Better than the General GT’s that were on previously.
Re: Mk5 Golf GTi manual conversion to DSG
Last Poster: Lakeyy95 in Technical Workshop on January 24, 2021, 12:46:56 AM
They do indeed, but your post was somewhat vague, hence my flippant response 
Anyway....
You need either an 02E DQ250 6 speed DSG from the MK5/6, or a 7 speed DQ500 DSG gearbox from the MK7. The latter is more complicated electronically in terms of retrofit.
