Boost issue
Last Poster: Tax in Mk5 General Area on Yesterday at 09:28:24 pm
I’ve been having issues with boost. Done multiple smoke and boost leak test and found multiple leaks that have been solved. Changed diverter valve first still no boost, then went on to change turbo which had some play but oil feed line and return line were very clogged up. Car was picking up nice up to 2.5k revs and I wasn’t pushing it for 300 miles to break in the turbo. Even afte

Had a long running issue where car would randomly go into limp mode with glo plug light flashing and eventually depending on how many re-starts the engine light would appear.
Code read showed P2564 turbo position sensor fault - this is part of the actuator on the turbo and from VW was £250 for replacement actuator, it has to be calibrated on diagnostics to a certain vol

I recently rebuilt the top end of a 2012 golf r. It had a broken cam chain. New valves, valve guides, head studs, timing belt and pulleys, new chain and tensioner, new cam phaser, replaced the plastic oil rings in the cam chain cover housing. Once reassembled I had the p0016 code. Double checked my timing on belt and chain. All seems to be lined up correctly. On line 93 I was getti

Car Cover Recommendations for MK5 GTI
Last Poster: Husy in Mk5 General Area on July 21, 2025, 06:35:11 pm
Hey folks,
Has anyone found a good quality car cover for the MK5 GTI that fits well and doesn’t leave marks or scratches on the paintwork? Ideally looking for something breathable and soft-lined that offers decent protection. Would be great to know where you got it from if you’ve had a good experience.
Cheers!

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

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 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.
