Maybe for somebody who’s Looking for a GTI I don’t know how this works but a YouTuber “Saving Salvage” is giving a GTI away on “Compete for cars” Looks like it has been in a timecapsule…  Don’t shoot me of how this “Compete stuff” is working😅 Hopefully sombody can be the owner of this nice & clean example 😎👍🏻 For some reason I can’t upload a screenshot of it on here now?!?🙄 Go check it out on YouTube…

Fitted the repair bracket to the inlet manifold runner motor, it'#039s only 3 TX30 screws, nbsp a lever onto the flaps shaft and a complete PITA spring, luckily you get a spare spring in the kit as that went walkabouts. No wonder the instructions show it being fitted with the manifold off the car as access to that spring is challenging to say the least. Anyway got it done and cleared the

If the engine runs rough and then self corrects, it could be a vacuum leak. Try pulling the dipstick after the car corrected itself. If it doesnt start shaking or running rough again, you'#039ve got a leak somewhere.
One way to test the maf would be to pull the plug and see what the car does. if it runs better without the maf, there'#039s a maf issue. Try both before starting

I havent installed mine yet so I'#039m also curious what others say. From what I'#039ve heard tho, as long as you'#039re running oem engine and dogbone bushings, it shouldnt be that noticeable. If you run any poly mounts, it'#039s way worse.
Also regarding engine mounts, especially the gearbox mount; they go bad pretty fast depending on how you drive your car or if it'#039s mapped. I'#039

And DAB too! I was thinking of doing the car play/android auto RNS retrofit but this is awesome. Do the phone controls pass through to the wheel buttons as well?

You could try one of these.

If not I think it'#039s a case of cutting it off, I never like messing too much with wiper motors that go through glass I always have visions of it smashing.
Funnily enough, that'#039s exactly what I ended up buying.

If you want some noise from it, stick an aftermarket intake, k04 dv relocation kit, a rev G dv and get it mapped. If mapped, you can use a DV+ if k03, rev G if k04. DV+ cant really deal with the pressure a K04 works with and will throw CEL
Also noise depends on the pressure the map demands of it.
First video was recorded with a k04 with a dv+ and 1.55 bar pea

Bought a Ramair oversized intake off Facebook market place and swapped the oem black silicone for some blue ones, gona fit my blue coolant silicone hoses along with the metal upgraded tee which replaces the brittle oem plastic one. Won'#039t be keeping it chrome I'#039ve already scuffed it down an eitch primer it along with black satin black spray paint

Hi all. Had to replace the tailgate on my mk5 gti, unfortunately the replacement is from a tsi so doesnt have a spoiler like the gti, already tried to pry off the original but it cracked. What are my options? There seems to be a limited selection for the non gti/r32 variant. Does the mk6 spoiler fit?
Rear trailing arms/ bushes

That'#039s strange I wonder why they went through the trouble of swapping the front ends. Perhaps it'#039s one of those strange things we'#039ll never get to know the reason.
Manufacturer promotion for the newly released MK6 and the MK6 benefits from a more aerodynamic front end, with optimized air

I don'#039t drive the Golf in the winter time (I sold the winter tires some time ago and there has been a lot of snow). I only got to maneuver the car in my yard. So, I can'#039t really provide an accurate feedback. I would have really liked to see how the seats and steering wheel feel, but I'#039ll have to wait for spring. I'#039ll provide my first impressions after the first, proper, spring

Hi mate what head unit do you have?
It’s a lemon shark rcd360 pro from AliExpress. I also had the canbus adapter to stop the battery drain. I’ve disconnected the whole head unit and the draw was the same
