I had a look at the iat sensor just, took it off and sprayed it with MAF cleaner. Noticed when I took it out, it had a bit of oil on the plastic. I assume this isn't normal? Figured cleaning it couldn't hurt. Disconnected the battery and took the sensor out with the plug attached. If it does get worse when colder I've got no hope of getting those vw plugs off lol nightmare don't wa

Do you really need to upgrade the speakers? You say better experience but what do you want from it. For me the stock speakers are OK in my GTI, I'm just updating the head unit to an RNS 315 so I can have DAB, bluetooth etc. Try updating the head unit first and go from there :)
Not looked into the speaker side of mk5s yet but my previous car sounded worse after replacing

Unfortunately you can't really buy 98/99 where I'm from haha.

Hi, did you ever get to the bottom of this? I have a mk5 2.0 tfsi with the same problems. The car has no fault codes, and has had various parts changed; PVC, spark plugs, temp sensor and fuel filter changed, still no joy.
If the car has been left for a few hours it hesitates when pulling off like it's getting no fuel. This is very brief and after runs perfectly. I have been to

I use imgbb.com, it doesn't give you tons of space, but if you only share a picture now and again or want somewhere to host your signature or profile pic it's great, and the website isn't rammed full of ads and slow like Photobucket.

A genuine MAF is over a £100 from VW so worth getting it checked I got a brand new one as mine was damaged. after I bought it I had to get an air box in it was what looked like a new genuine MAF and a new air filter. The air box had a split in it I contacted the seller he refunded me in full and told me to keep it I fixed it so got a bargain

A little update - thanks for input above.
I stripped the car down over the weekend and cleaned the inlet ports and the flaps on the inlet manifold. Was a mission - only because I really struggled to get the correct combination of ratchets and bits together in order to remove the four throttle body bolts. Took over an hour to remove and another hour to reinstall those fo
