Mk5 General Area / new golf gti mk5 owner
« Last post by matty s on Today at 02:35:28 pm »hi all, im Matt and new to the world of the mk5,
Rhondda valleys based ( S WALES ) and i bought a spares or repair 08 gti to try to get good enough to use as a daily, its MOT'D currently but in need of love.
it had the sticky ignition barrel issue and its taken me two days to sort so now at least i can get it onto my drive lol
with the car came one key and fob, the fob lights up on button press, but no response from the car, is there anyone local does vcds key programming per chance? it was the original key for the car but only disarms the alarm on placing in the ignition.
issue 2 , since repairing and refitting the above the windscreen wipers no longer work, i can hear the relay click for screen washer on stork pull back but no motor - will check fuses later this eve but maybe ive damaged the stearing control unit and maybe need to buy one from evil bay to replace>?
issue 3 sounds like a front wheel bearing noise - ill book it in somewhere for that on,e my spannering days are limited
i think these are my main issues for now, then i can drive the car a little and see what else needs sorting ( from what ive read dip stick, pcv and cam sensor cant be too far from my list ? )
