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
Mk7 GTD Driver’s headlight. Does it need coding?
Last Poster: Pinin_prestatyn in Mk7 General Area on Today at 11:41:57 am
Hi! A friends 2016 Mk7 GTD has a faulty driver’s headlight and needs to be replaced. New they are £560 from Euro Car Parts. I can get one for a breakers for less. I have watched a couple of Youtube vids and I can fit it no problems. Question is, will the headlight have to be coded in? I have no VAG COM or VCCDS.
Lastly, if I went aftermarket and changed both headlights, would

Thanks Ollie,
I have ordered up a new genuine filter and oil but may have messed up by going for LL3 that it’s had all it’s life - it has had 2 oil and filter changes in the last 5k along with the oil only change and there is conflicting info as to what oil is best when doing low miles on time and date servicing.
I am able to check the PCV myself but everythin

Fwiw I just spoke to that company.
They can do the coding and immobiliser programming but may not be able to do mileage adjustment.
If it's increasing the mileage then they can, if reducing they might not be able to.

Having experienced horrific light output in previous cars - let'#039s just say the low bench mark for me many years ago was a ur-quattro with standard bulbs - that was terrifying - nbsp I have to say I am very happy with my Mk5 standard Xenons, they respond quickly enough for screaming along country lanes and throw enough light on motorways to be confident.

Epic build thread! Great work!
Can you post some more detail on the BCM conversion. What standard mk5 modules have to be swapped also? Did you just splice in extra cable to bring CECM plug location to BCM location?
TIA

In my garage, all the tools are stored on shelves, where I can easily find them. In the car, they are located next to the spare wheel, there are not many of them, so I do not use boxes to store them. I can'#039t say the same about my father. He is used to storing absolutely everything in special ba

Hi, I was meant to be at Rtech tomorrow for a map, injector and inlet clean, but can't make it now.
Maybe worth giving them a call if you are free tomorrow and want to avoid their waiting times.

Re: vag com engine block 94 cam adjuster
Last Poster: acer81 in Mk5 General Area on December 05, 2021, 10:21:36 pm
Weird. Cam phase position and actual angle are correct. Why the spec is 24KW, god knows. 77% duty is a bit on the high side though.
The problem is solved! I replaced the INA tensioner at the factory and the values were good and the sound of the car was quiet too!

Did Revo stage 1 on my mk5 few weeks ago, mainly because they had £50 discount at the time and garage (Russell automotive) nbsp that was fixing my GTI deals with Revo. So I did stage 1 and Revo induction kit as well. So far no complains. They did tell me though that torque is not at its maximum just to preserve the clutch, they also gave a price for a new performance clutch in case I'
