Mk4 R32 gone, Hello more fuel friendly Mk5 GTI
Dave J:
Hi Nino,
Looks as though you cherished your R32 - awesome car - wish I'd had one. All the years after uni I spent saving for a GTI - I bought a 2 year old 1.8t in 2002, and thought it was just such a quality car. VW had to pi$$ on my fire by then releasing the Anni, and then the R32! I'd have held off if I'd known they were coming...
Still, the mk5 gti is good fun as standard - doesn't need much at all to make it even better if you want to. Yours looks a well specced car and sensible miles on it.
Hope you will enjoy the mk5 - I do still miss my well modded mkiv, but love different aspects of the mk5. It still feels like progression over the mkiv in most ways - chassis dynamics for one, whilst interior-wise, the quality feels lower...
PS - guess the button you are querying is the 'SET' button which is for the Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS).
By pressing and holding the button, it resets the datum reading for each tyre. It's not too advanced as far as I know - it works off the ABS sensors and revolutions of the wheel . I think there are loads of posts on here that can explain in more detail than I know of!

Looks like you got a decent car there mate
Nino:
Yhanks for the replys guys. Yeah i am happy with the GTI, it has a few little bits here and there i need to tidy up but all over time.

Looks a nice example, I have also moved from a mk4 but a 1.8t.
The mk5 is better in most ways but I do miss the recaro's in the mk4 much better seats imo.

Good to see you over here Nino :happy2:
I'll warn you though, spent too much time on here and you'll spend a fortune :signLOL:
