I've replaced mine a couple of years back with a good one from a breakers yard. Its also now sagging so recently had the original board recovered by a local guy.
Currently waiting to fit it, the material is slightly lighter but a good match

Hopefully this will last longer

Hi,

I'#039ve had 2 from every car covered, weather pro versions. One replaced under warranty, Initially they do a good job but after a year the outer layers break down in the sunlight UV leaving dust all over the car. Although they still offer protection you have to clean the car after removing the cover.
I'#039d be interested in what you find because my second one now n

Last Poster: LincolnDupuy in How to Guides / Troubleshooting on Yesterday at 10:46:42 am

My instrument cluster screen has gone faulty ever since i got it. If im lucky the screen flickers on and off but displays an "quoterror"quot where the odometer is. Most the timethe screen is iust plain red though. Anyone experienced this before or have solutions. I had it looked at briefly and he said it might be an internal issue.[IMG]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20250725/19e4929524

Just picked up a **MK5 GTI Manual in Reflex Silver**, sitting at 93k miles – and I’m buzzing! I had a 3‑door DSG version about 5 years ago and honestly I’ve missed it ever since.

Car was picked up this afternoon after being repaired, they've given it a much needed clean inside and out to so was impressed by that.
Cost was £251.70 to diagnose, and fit my supplied actuator including setting up actuator on VCDS and carrying out basic settings as per ELSA.

Boost issue

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.

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.

+1 for the Goodyear Eagle F1's. I find them a really solid tyre. Very little road noise and if you can, get the Asymmetric 3's as they're rated slightly better for the wet.

Catchcan/valvecover
Last Poster: NorwegianMK5 in Performance Modifications on July 21, 2025, 12:51:22 am

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
