On page 2 of this forum I posted asking for advice about almost exactly the same thing:

https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,134703.0.html

I worked out that the wing at the bottom can have the bottom bolts behind the arch liner loosened, then pull the bottom of the wing away from the door and insert something in the panel gap so it doesn'#039t go ba

Last Poster: MKVASMR in Performance Modifications on Today at 05:04:42 pm

I would highly advise it. Every exhaust change on cars after 1990 should be mapped in. The k03 doesn't like to much boost though. The housing tends to crack. That makes everything over 240bhp is a lottery.

Re: Power folding mirrors - help!

There are three generations off the top of my head with regards to door modules and being able to control power fold mirrors, so you have to get the modules that match your generation.

The same issue applies to other parts in the Mk5 like steering wheel angle sensors (gen 1 and 2 are on the wheel, then gen3 is on the rack), the cooling system plumbing etc etc

Hi guys!!

It is now 15 years later and my OZ Alleggeritas need refurbishing ~ I am thinking Gold! The red &amp gold colour combo is quite classic on performance cars and not just Ferraris.

Thank you for the reply.

I managed to find a local breaker yard with 2 modules so I got the cars details and found it came factory fitted with power fold and entry light which is what I have fitted.

Part numbers on these are 1K0959701N / 1K0959793K, the other module is the same

The fact it can be jump started rules out starter motor, i'#039m wondering if you have a bad earth strap that goes from the gearbox to the chassis.

If it starts with a jump, it'#039s using the earth from the other vehicle etc. Worth a try getting jump lead from body to engine/box and trying it, do

I have a 2005 mk5 gti, with the stock head unit in it
Has anyone a recommendation of a decent Apple car play unit that will obviously fit
Are they hard to fit, with all the wires et al

Thank you

Re: Working out what to get...

So, I ended up buying

Direnza Intake
MP Developments 200 Cell Downpipe
VIS HPFP
S3 Intercooler

Also grabbed some new NGK Iridium plugs so they're nice and fresh, and will get the inlet blasted and injectors cleaned and tested as I didnt manage to get that done at the same time as the Camchain

Magnetic carbon paddles on the original MK5 steering wheel?
Last Poster: skkane in Mk5 General Area on May 05, 2025, 08:14:38 pm

Anyone gave these a try? They are super nice. Saw them in Misha'#039s latest ring video with the mk5 r32.

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006471581202.html

They are advertised for the mk7 wheel only tho :( Found a guy on youtube but he also had the mk7 wheel. I'#039m guessing the connector would work but the paddles would be unattachable on our steering wheel?

Just turn the engine on with or without the AC, let it idle and bend down next to it. You'll hear it quite clearly if it's the fuel lines.

Another thing it could be is the dogbone mount. I've managed to snap the bushing in mine and it rattled quite bad.

Had a boost leak 2weeks ago, literally had no power and the car was running like a N/A engine. I had a feeling it would be the divirter valve because I hear a hissing sound (drivers side) going over speed bumps. nbsp Old diverter valve was f#kd.

According to the description these should work but the price is eye-watering.

A few years back, I bought this:

which turned out to be very low quality and the jack port itself was very flimsy.
So, as I was shopping the OEM shops for some parts for my other VAG cars, I found this (OEM AUX input):

A DTC P0302 - cylinder 2 misfiring

Had this happen this morning. Not goood and sounds it. How likely is it spark plugs? Dont want to get rid of my mk5 yet :(. Would it be safe to drive the 500 metres to garage?

There'#039s a lot of carbon buildup which i'#039m cleaning next week but this doesnt quite explain the misfire in 3rd gear under normal driving or WOT.

The intake camshaft is also a bit worn. Maybe too worn out? The car has always had slight misfires
