As you know we have moved to a more reasonably priced server. I have setup this PayPal pool. Don't go crazy  I think the hosting will cost 20 to 25 a month but maybe less. I would also like to add an anti spam subscription which will cost 8 a year. DONE https://paypal.me/pools/c/8wS00vhDVI

I have been working through a list of little issues that they flagged up. Trying to prioritises them.
The problem I have is that I can't have my phone with me during the day so ringing them is a problem. I sent them an email but no reply.
The research I have been doing leads me to a carbon solenoid control valve. Easy fix just need to know if it the right thing.

Re: HELP! - Remote Central Locking Not Working
Last Poster: MindlessHero in Mk5 General Area on Today at 08:44:14 am
My passenger door doesn't lock at all at the moment. When I press the unlock button, the hazards flash, but when I press the lock button, they don't.
Nit quite sure where I'm going with this, but just thought I'd mention my hazards flash on unlock and not on lock and the passenger door doesn't lock. 😁

Welcome back Ray.Good to see you on here..
Might be wanting a mk5 reverse camera fitted if you can find one
Can take a look, when I searched for my mk6 they were really hard to get second hand so I end up buying new from TPS. ill see what pricing i can get with the wiring and fitting
Driver's side curtain airbag loom issues
Last Poster: Qam2 in Mk5 General Area on Yesterday at 09:08:16 pm
Hi all, my family has a 2006 Golf 1.6 FSI (not a GTI sadly) and we have an Airbag light on which our mechanic has said is caused by a broken connection to the driver's side curtain airbag, does anyone know the cause of this? as I wonder if it could be fixed cost effectively? Has anyone else had this issue. Thanks in advance.
Re: Is my engine dead?

Thank you very much for the unfortunate news. I'm looking at doing a CDL engine swap later in the year, just didn't think it would be this soon before it died. Especially with the amount putting into it already. Just unsure whether I need to do the awd conversion or can I CDL swap without doing the conversion.
Re: which MK5 GTI would you choose out of these 2
Last Poster: Tin Robot in Mk5 General Area on Yesterday at 12:56:02 pm
My fully loaded grey GTI is going up for sale soon including very rare factory Xenons. Lot less miles and DSG and other preventative maintenance done. FSH I also replaced most of the interior (previous owners wife had long nails and wrecked the buttons). A bit beyond the cost of these but all round a better car.
Just a thought !

Thanks guys! I am yet to get the bumper but will be looking to do it soon.
Is there anything that needs to be done with parking sensors?
Nope, Lower valance replacement is plug and play. You may need to re tidy cables etc, but other than that it’s a piss easy job[emoji10

I think a lot of VW wheels are sprayed '#039Titan Silver'#039 which is a bit bright and sparkly.
A lot of folk go for a slightly darker shade when refurbing, but not as dark as anthracite, which definitely looks a lot better on black cars.
Cheers Kev, Mine are curr
