Sorry for the down time.

The forum has been moved to my server  :evilgrin:.

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: Locking wheel bolts and spacers
Last Poster: neilw in Mk5 General Area on Today 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.

Im fairly sure every Golf since the Mk3 has come with 2 mirrors so any blank would have to be custom made.

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 Yesterday at 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.

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

Re: Beep to lock sound
Last Poster: GTION in Mk5 General Area on Yesterday at 04:46:48 PM
Also interested to learn how to recode a silent alarm?

Mine makes a very soft beep when locking/unlocking but completely silent when alarm goes off (just hazards flash with no sound)

Is there anyway to test the alarm with VCDS?

I think I found the answer to my question

Just incase anyone else is researching this topic; its group 122 measuring blocks in VCDS , block is called Transmission Status and shows whether Torque is being reduced or not :)
