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. When I get a bit of time I think an upgrade is in order with image uploads.
Re: Ordering parts from VW dealer

He wouldn't have it, said the parts need to be ordered against a chassis number and the system says the parts I want don't fit.... I despair.
Luckily i've spoken to the guy at the VW indy the car is going
2.0 TDI 4motion intermittent power issue
Last Poster: kevster996 in How to Guides / Troubleshooting on Today at 12:27:39 PM
Hi all, Im hoping someone may have some advice on an intermittent power issue im having. When I accelerate up through the gears I often get power coming through but not smoothly. Then I get up to speed say 70mph in 6th and the power is not coming through at a constant rate - it seems to stutter slightly as if holding back - it can do this on and off over a few seconds and then calm

Cheers Ollie,
The car is in fantastic condition considering the mileage. A good friend has asked for first refusal once I’m ready to let it go and I’ve a set of standard grey leather leather seats going in hopefully this weekend so the wingbacks might find themselves up for sale at some point in the future too.
Not a clue what they go for to be fair but I’ll

I have tried Red Stuff pads upon the recommendation of RacingLine and they have good bite with some heat in them and are both quiet and dust free. They do however feel numb and soft in traffic when cold and I replaced them with Endless MX72 (plus bronze bushes / steel hoses) as per the article below. I can’t sing the praises of these pads highly enough - they really are leagues ahe
Turbo Replacement
Last Poster: Submotion in How to Guides / Troubleshooting on Yesterday at 08:35:34 PM
Hi all, I am about to buy a mk5 gti off a friend for a cheap price, car has done 149,000 miles, drives lovely but he has been advised to replace the turbo. I'll be looking into getting a second hand one to replace it, was just curious whether it would be the case of taking the old one off and putting the new one on, or will I need to take it to a garage.
Thanks in advanc

These just arrived:  Among other smaller bits they contain: 982/718 S or GTS calipers Front & Rear (even if the rear ones are just like mine, but painted Red, I preferred to buy new ones instead of painting the old ones) [img width=786 height=5
Re: Locking wheel bolts and spacers
Last Poster: neilw in Mk5 General Area on Yesterday at 12:08:19 PM
I got some from eBay, I think the brand was "Bimecc"
The only issue is the original covers don't fit on them. I had 10mm spacers on the front so had to cut two of them down slightly, as 40mm was too long, but ok on the 12mm spacers at the rear.

Picked up an Eos cluster soon to be sent off for coding. (Waiting on the pin adapter to arrive).
Installed shifter end link and bracket bushings. A noticeable difference in feel.
a/c has crapped out and in hoping of I swap out the compressor solenoid wool fix it..

Re: how to get more BHP from my MK5 gti?
Last Poster: colesey in Mk5 General Area on April 22, 2019, 08:01:13 PM
You’re pretty much max’d out for a k03 but are likely running closer to 280bhp than 300. Will need to go to a hybrid k03 or k04 for more top end power, together with s3 cooler and injectors / bigger fprv.
Re: Weird wiper arms / blades
Last Poster: DBXdarkangel in Mk5 General Area on April 22, 2019, 06:37:00 PM
Confusingly there's two types of front wiper blades depending on the model year of the car. Early 2004 to late 2005 cars had the hook like the one you showed, Bosch A937S or Valeo VM310 will fit these. MY2006 and pretty much all new VW's onwards had these changed where you push down a tab to quick
