So I sent the ECU off to ECU Repair and they sent it back saying it was untestable so I decided to buy a salvaged part from eBay and have mine cloned and replace it.
Replacement ECU fitted today, and so far so good with no issues starting yet so I'm tentatively saying it's sorted!
Re: Which brake pads and discs?

You will always get dust, but with my recent setup I am using Brembo pads all round. No issues or difference in dust creation.
I have the 345mm front and 310mm rear setup

Thought I’d check here to see if anyone is after one before putting it on piston heads. It’s 5dr DSG in silver. Heated Leather seats, front and rear sensors, electric mirrors, cruise control. Full service history. 66k on the clock. I bought it i
Re: Car sputters with MAF plugged in. When unplugged it drives perfect. Why?

Most prob the MAF as said, as it sounds like it is failing/failed and unable to read the air flow correctly......running rich to be safe
With it unplugged you will be using baseline settings, but will not be getting the best out the engine as it does not know exactly how much air is entering the car to calculate combustion.
Buy genuine for the MAF in my opinio
Re: Power folding mirror modules.

You need the mirror units which are all the same I believe, but there are three generations of window modules for the Mk5
Being a 2005 I would say it is the first generation which may be harder to find.......none the less a nice project if your prepared to hunt for parts over time.
