Absolutely! nbsp I had a fifth 18"quot Monza nicely tucked in the back with these inserts and it really keeps the boot clear of all the usual cruft you might want to keep in there.
Three things I found when doing this though:
1) The inserts I sourced needed a slight trim in the connecting

Hi there, brand new to this forum so please excuse me if this is a dumb question. I've got a 2008 Edition 30 that I am trying to sell and I just wondered if anyone had any advice as to where is best to do this?

Hello, I ordered the «PERFORMANCE KIT FOR 2.0 TFSI EA113 ENGINES» from rtmg performance, which includes a billet alu valve cover and a catch can.
I was wondering where the catch can itself goes as the place where everyone is putting theirs (behind right headlight) has a large black box which is twice the sice of the catchcan.
Any idea what this is or how to d

Good morning, I am trying to find a schematic or labeled picture for a 12 pin connector for xenon headlights.
I have my sons gti and the right side daytime running light does not turn on. I have checked the fuse and swapped the components from left to right and the issue remains the same. I am down to a wiring or plug issue, unless someone out there has an idea as to what it

I'#039ll try to help here, but please don'#039t take this as gospel I'#039m only going by what I have seen from researching the project myself and don'#039t have any first hand experience (hopefully others will chime in)
1: from the looks of it. This looks like the same or similar to the 1.8t oil pump conversion that a lot of companies offer. Maybe there are some differences but it'

I know this is way too late and would be interested to know if you completed this mod? I just changed out to a gti front bumper on My mk5 golf fsi 1.6 today. Was certainly not a straight fit and required cutting and finessing to get it to fit.

Ive been a mechanic for 10 years and this one has got me stumped.
I know mk5s are notorious for door lock problems and was well aware of the normal faults. My drive door no longer locks or unlocks from
Re: Low oil pressure caused by PCV?
Last Poster: ZoliWorks in Mk5 General Area on July 11, 2025, 04:50:28 pm
Not exactly plug and play though as you have to drop the pump and drill into it, so as it says on the page, a last resort. Would be good to know the oil pressure numbers at the different RPMs before taking a decision on where to throw time and money.
