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
Re: What did you and your MKV do today?

Was thinking last week how reliable my MK5 has been of late. Of course this tempted fate and I walked onto the drive today to see a small pool of oil under the front bumper. Peaked into the engine to investigate and now my bonnet won't close. Never a dull moment with a MK5! :)

Just a quick question does anyone have an image of the stickers on the GTI slam panel or know the part numbers? Guessing TPS won’t have them but hoping to reinstall on my car.
Thanks

I was looking at these a while ago. I think it was an Italian manufacturer who did 19 replicas. I think they stopped making it though as I could never source them. I’ll have to see if I can dig up the company again.

This is age related i think - both of my wing mirror glasses started separating from their backing plates about a year back. 2008 car... They just started waving around in the wind.
One has been gorrilla glued back and is ok, and then I had an older replacement on the drivers side

I have the VWR / Racingline sports damper / spring kit. It gives a nicely lowered stance and good daily driver comfort with better composure but I think I would go for something stiffer next time.

Brake fluid is hygroscopic, suspect the 4% is how much water it has absorbed.
Ideally brake rake fluid should be replaced every 2 years - from the americanese definition below it sounds like yours is saturated:
"quotWhen the brake fluid becomes saturated with water (3.7 percent by volume), that water can boil in the lines and produce steam (the gaseous form of water
Re: HELP! - Remote Central Locking Not Working
Last Poster: MindlessHero in Mk5 General Area on Yesterday 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. 😁
