I had a similar problem a few years ago with my mk3 golf and it was the resistor pack that stopped working, I figured it was a similar problem. Google and searching the forum confirmed it, so I bought a new resistor pack for about £12 off ebay.
This is the new one which arrived super quick as I only ordered it on Monday evening and arrived today (wednesday) lunch time.
Was really easy to replace, just drop the foam out from under/behind the glove box and then it's right there, pulled out the old one and put in the new one, plugged it back in and all working perfectly again :happy2:
Here's the two side by side:
Guess it'll be the original one. Have heard that sometimes the motor is starting to fail which causes the resistor pack to fail so will keep an eye on that. If the resistor pack fails again then I'll replace the motor too.

Wait, what's that? Control for heated seats?

I bought smoked ones from ebay.
I followed the instructions in this video:
and it was fairly easy. One of the clips on the old indicator broke as I removed the top cover as you can see in the picture with the old and new ones side by side but not too bothered. Was going to keep them as spares so have kept the other one but just dumped the one with the broken clip.
Yeah, I'll keep a look out for the ones with black inserts as I think they'd look much nicer than the standard silver ones.

Thanks, I'm pleased with them.
This is the link to the ones I bought but there are loads on ebay if you search for "mk5 golf smoked indicators":

No, I don't have heated seats. It's the resistor pack for the heater blower. It would only work on setting four but has worked perfectly since I replaced the resistor pack :smiley:

Had the car remapped today by celtic tuning. Mainly to get rid of the EGR functionality as it has been blanked off but also had him put on the celtic tuning stage one map instead of the superchips one that was on it.
All good but engine management light still on so scanned the car, been about a month since I scanned it last, and it's thrown up this:

Before:
After:
I think it looks much neater now, they were a bit fiddly but fairly easy to change, was quite dirty inside so was a good chance to clean out the insides.
On the lookout for some genuine GTI headlights with the black inserts too. Not sure about the replica style ones on ebay if they'd be any good so think I'll hold out for some genuine ones. There were a pair for sale on here about a week ago but I didn't have enough posts to post on the thread or PM the seller and they're sold so will keep my eyes peeled.
