thanks guys, so finally i can go ahead and get a decent car stereo, any recommendations or should I stick to the RCD330 or RCD510?

I just installed an RCD510 in my 07 plate GTI. Literally no problems whatsoever, which includes no battery drain. It was a simple plug-in and pla

Number plate light turning off after 3 seconds

Evening all,
         I have LED canbus bulbs fitted in the number plate, had them in there for about a year no problems. Yesterday I get a bulb defective light on the dash and now my number plate bulbs turn off after 3 seconds. But they both work before being turned off. Anyone shed some light :laugh:on this?

Firstly, I’ve just signed up and am new here so hi, and apologies if I’m posting in the wrong area etc.

I recently purchased my first MK5 GTI and got it for a reasonable price however after a few days of rain I’ve noticed that both footwells on the drivers side are soaked through. Not only that but I’ve had an airbag fault light come on.

Knocking Sound When Braking
Last Poster: El1M1N8OR in How to Guides / Troubleshooting on Yesterday at 03:30:00 PM

Just home from a month at sea.  Brakes were seized after intially pulling away. The familar clunk of the hand brake.

Now there is a knocking sound when I brake at low speed and an intermittened wheel bearing type sound braking at higher speed coming from passenger side ish..

Any thoughts?

If you're worried about MPG, a GTI isn't fot you. they're not over bad as is, what do you get 30/35?

the cost far outweighs the gains, cost of conversion? £2,000? still use 15/20 litres of petrol (£20-£25)per tank, LPG (£0.65P/L, 50L so £32.50ish) you'll so to run a tanks worth of LPG the cost would be about £50.00 - £55.00 apposed to £70 (£1.30 P/L) for 95oct or £80 fo

I had a chunk of money to put into something to keep me happy for a while until my new project arrived. I looked at everything around the 10k mark for ages. I needed fast (ish) 5 doors, solid depreciation rate but, what I needed the most was something that's only just been mentioned by Pudding 'under the radar' low key image.
A 5 door ed30 in grey fitted my needs perfectly. I

Re: What did you and your MKV do today?
Last Poster: GVK in Mk5 General Area on Yesterday at 07:42:43 AM

Had the car 2 years today. Covered 10k miles in it so far.

Only things I've done are :

Both rear ABS sensors & hubs (twice on nsr)
Left hand intercooler hose kept popping off. (New hose £70!)
Plugs and coils causing misfire after Stage 1 remap.
Passenger door lock faulty (new one to fit) (£megabucks)

So overall not too bad for a 12 ye

Had the normal controls on wiper stalk but no mfsw

This sort of stalk? If it was you use that to control the MFD, no MFSW needed. If it did have that stalk and still no menu it is possible that the coding has been changed so those menus don't appear in the MFD. [img width=786 height=78

MK6 clocks might be quicker, not sure.   Like I say, over winter the boost was just an unreadable blur.  Electronics don't like being cold.  Over summer it was better, but at the end of the day it's still an ancient dot matrix display that can't keep up.  It was never built for that purpose.  If you don't mind display lag, then it's not a bad mod.

Didn't realise it could

No idea what a Civic ef is but there's no brand snobbery on here that I've noticed     Every car brand has it's pluses and negatives. VWs have plenty of negatives 

I'm not sure a standard pump has much beans at 135bar but no harm in fitting the RS4 valve anyway as it's a ball ache to get to!  Yeah may as well attack that whilst doing the inlet clean  :happ

I absolutely love the Cayman. It is such a nice car... It is an awesome daily and a decent track car. I esp

I have spent a lot to get all wear and tear items replaced to get it driving perfectly.
A couple of minor items. It has a small dent in the rear wheel arch and a couple of the 18 inch alloys are scuffed.
It had an R Tech stage 1 done in August and now shows 241bhp. They did a health check and said it was one of the best AXX engines they had seen.
Drives brilliantly and the remap is fantastic.
I have started a new job which requires long distance travelling therefore my golf is not suitable. I will definately miss it.
