Hi All,

Had my ed30 about 2 weeks now. Retired my '91 mk2 to the garage and was looking for a daily driver that had some character and I think I've found a really competent car in the mk5 gti.

Just wanted to say hello and that the forum provided me with some good info whilst lurking. VW have no idea how influential the peer network can  be!
My car is a '57 plate 5 door manual in black, looking forward to a few mods as soon as the weather picks up a little.

stealthwolf:
Hi and welcome.

Must put up pics! I have the same - 57-plate ED30 5dr in black. Looks awesome. Was yours poverty spec or does it have any extras?

ttdan:
It has the rns510 but I'm pretty sure that was added later, nice bit of kit all the same.

err, not sure what the factory extras where but I think folding mirrors and xenons are the only extras.

Bit miffed re fuel consumption, can't get over 30 yet but that could be me exploring the available torque! But I am not sure what to expect on that front anyway.

Here's a phone pic with my snow socks on!

Gene Hunt:
Do those socks work ok?.

Richn83:
I have a set of the autosocks too and then work brilliantly, they are only really meant for snow and ice driving so getting you to the main gritted road as they will wear out quickly on tarmac, but I quite happily drove up a hill on fresh snow saturday morning without a single traction light flash.

Nice looking car BTW and welcome, I cant see your reg for snow but if yours is one of the later ED30's then the RNS could well be factory fitment as they replaced the MFD2 on the option list late in the MK5's life!  :happy2:
