Sorry for the down time.

The forum has been moved to my server  .

You should notice that its running a little faster and the search is working. Please point out any bugs.

Need 1 Pescara Edition 30 wheel!
Last Poster: ENTERSANDMAN_13 in Mk5 General Area on Yesterday at 11:06:41 AM

Hi there, I have hit a curb hard and managed to bend my rear right wheel. I'm trying to find a replacement so i can get a wheel realignment.

Does anyone have one/know where to get one from please?

Any help much appreciated.

Last Poster: FJB in Mk5 General Area on Yesterday at 10:45:06 AM

Remove the plug from the fan and use your multi-meter to test for resistance across the two terminals on the fan, if you get open line or 1 on the display, then the fan is dead. If you have resistance then it is likely to be the fan blower resistor that needs replacing.

Does the switch light up?

Does the compressor kick in at all?

Does the compressor kick in if you bridge the wires on the HP switch?

Have you had VCDS on it to see if any faults in the hvac (climatronic) module

Just had the dreaded news that it’s the compressor. If anyone knows a trustworthy, reliable place to get a used one that works I’d appreciate it

A set of 5 Genuine Volkswagen Motorsport 18” Alloy Wheels

The wheels are 18”x7.5" 5x112 in a Gloss Black finish and were an option wheel for the Golf Mk5. I ran them on my car for around 2 weeks before returning to the originals

Wheels 1-3 were bought Brand New from VW

Each wheel will be supplied with the genuine VW centre caps. The wheels retail at over £1100 so grab yourself a bargain! Any questions or for more pictures please message me.
