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
Re: Mk7 steering wheel into mk5 gti
Last Poster: spb in Cosmetic/Interior Modifications on Today at 08:13:10 pm
Using the car more and more at the track and less on public roads I decided to swap the chunky mk5 GTI steering wheel for a thinner easier to grip, especially with racing gloves, mk7 GTI steering wheel.
I went thru the thread 2 times but I'#039m still not sure if I got this right. I can get even a mfsw with cruise mk7 steering wheel and just the buttons will not work but paddles

I've got the pressure switch coming any day now so will let you know if this solves it for me. If not gona buy the solenoid.
Did this solve your issue?

Thanks man  Been out on a collection of parts today after winning on eBay. 6x Team Dynamic Pro Race 1.2 18X9 wheels. Not sure of the offset will have to measure them. 4 came with Dunlop Direzza 235/40/18 would have preferred 245 but for the price paid on the lot I won’t complain! 2 came with Yokohama AO52 in 245/40/18

Haha, the previous owner put a Parrot in mine, the cabling was truly a mess. Thankfully someone else sorted it for me. Got an RNS315, everything in one box and works fine as I don'#039t use the sat nav.
Pudding, what'#039s wrong with a shark fin? I'#039m wanting one for a decent DAB antenna because the one that sticks on the window is complete sh*t. The fact is has GPS and AM/FM

Re: Buying a Space Saver

As above, if you ever want to fit MK7/S3 front brakes, you will need the 18" space saver. Or maybe a 17" would clear but not sure if they make them in that size?
Re: 1.9 TDi running completely fine - then shuts off - needs a new engine?
Last Poster: Pudding in Mk5 General Area on Today at 11:13:11 am
No pressure, as in, compression?
That doesn'#039t necessarily mean the whole engine is goosed. nbsp Does the MK5 version of the 1.9 suffer from the infamous camshaft wear? If the lobes are worn down, that can cause symptoms of no power, nbsp bad starting, etc. nbsp Diesels need very precise fuel metering otherwise they run like crap, or not at all. nbsp I find it hard to believe the cy

Thanks Pudding.
I don't have an issue with cutting the bump stops. If it prevents harshness and there aren't other issues with cutting them, then I don't see why you wouldn't cut them.

Is there a idle speed control valve on mk5 GTi'#039s orna throttle switch clicker that needs a squirt of WD40 ?
You'#039re definitely not a zoomer with that question nbsp VW fitted drive-by-wire to all petrol engines circa 2000! I.e. nothing to adjust and no user se
