Mk5 General Area / Aircon issues 2007 GTi
« Last post by flyingf15h on Today at 05:36:40 pm »Hi,
I’ve tried to read up on the potential fox for the issue and there seem contrasting views or I’m misinterpreting things.
The aircon on the golf does not work, a leak on the condenser was diagnosed and has been replaced, vacuum test seemed ok but the fans will not rotate. I’m going to plug the car in on Saturday but wondered if a fault would show in VCDS or it could be a mechanical issue? I’m sure the pressure switch was changed a couple years back and neither fan spins. From what I understand the smaller one should spin when the aircon is activated in the car. Could it be a simple as a fuse? Another thread suggested F38 but this seems ok. Any guidance or things to do/ rule out would be appreciated.

Mk5 General Area / Re: What did you and your MKV do today?
« Last post by pandaman on Today at 02:04:03 am »Got a new USB port off Aliexpress to replace the very off colour one I got years ago. This new one is normal USB at the rear end so it can go straight into the Andorid Auto port of my Sony head unit.
The off colour one (was fine when I got it) only plugged into the back of a stock radio and when I installed the Sony stereo I got super lazy and just poked the cable out the passenger side of the centre console into the footwell....
So no cables showing now, much smarter. Also got a Caddy traction control switch off Aliexpress too. Personally I think it looks better and makes more sense than the ESP one. Removed the AUX port too and found the blank in a box somewhere, its got a bit scratched might have to get a new one of them too.

Mk5 General Area / Car stalls sometimes
« Last post by Gti_petrolhead on Yesterday at 11:53:02 pm »Hi guys i got a dsg mk5 gti. My car stalls when i slow down and stop from high revs. For an example if i slow down and stop from 4-6k+ rpm my car will stall. But if i take it easy and slow down slowly it doesnt stall? What could be the issue? Throttle body?
