Anyway, This is my old car and new car, It's a 05 TDI 105BHP ... In great condition Engine wise, Interior and Exterior other than both front wins have a bit of rust on the lips and the back badge has that wormy effect.. Delighted with it now tbh and looking forward to doing few things to it!

Already have few parts and stuff here for it... Got myself a R32 rear bumper without the exhausts, Got a set of 18" RH ZW4 with the centres done in Dolphin Grey, Cant wait to have them on! Also have Air suspension to go in, in about a month. Will be getting GTI side skirts or something aswell soon... Have a glass stopper for the De-wiper and white interior lights on the way so should be here soon.... Father has a MK6 so convinced him to give me the Light Switch with the silver surround on it :grin: Winning... Should be getting the Wings, Side skirts and Back bumper done over next week or so, and the wheels on by end the week so will update then :happy2:

I'm not convinced that the paint job is the best it could be though, the colour doesn't quite match. It might be worth seeing what the paint shop say about that if that is the case.
Sorry to put a downer on it and I'm no paint expert, just thinking from a paying customer perspective.
Post by: Tracey on September 18, 2014, 08:33:36 pm
Not a lot of money coming in over next few months so not sure what else will be done till next summer as im in college...xenons would be nice alright!

Post by: Tracey on September 21, 2014, 03:10:15 pm
Gave the car a big detail yesterday and today.
- Snow foam
- Dodo Juice Shampoo
- Dryed Car
- De-tar (was very bad)
- Meguires Clay Kit
- Coat of Britemax Polish
- 2 Coats of Britema Sealent
- Coat of Kleenfreaks wax
Some difference now from before... the De-tar and clay did a serious job.. Ill get some pictures later this evening when the battery for camera charges up :happy2: :happy2:

Have you Had it notched that should get you lower man? its looking good so far though, :happy2: its looking really Clean too! did you do the chrome strip on your front grill yourself? i'm looking to colour the red strip, and wanted to go for chrome i didn't know if people wrap them or spray it, or even if you can buy a chrome strip?
Try a wrap, more resilient.
The paint chips off with stones!

I dont think its even going down low enough for a notch! its not a chrome strip, i just got that painted the same color as the car (grey) when got the few bits sprayed! Looks good though
Post by: Tracey on October 07, 2014, 01:24:34 pm
My guess would be that it's your tyres stopping you from going lower, a smaller profile would probably sort it.
Yeah ! maybe, im going to take out my arch linings next week and see if it helps.. if it does then ill cut them!
Post by: xjay1337 on October 07, 2014, 01:50:50 pm
I could lay frame with 225/40 tyres on Monza 2s, also depends what bags you have as yours are clearly not the air lift slam series.
Good progress.
Post by: Tracey on October 10, 2014, 10:14:10 pm
Need to trim your arch liners (or heat them up like mental with a heat gun and then air the car out and leave it for a little while...and have a chassis notch on the drivers side.
I could lay frame with 225/40 tyres on Monza 2s, also depends what bags you have as yours are clearly not the air lift slam series.
Good progress.
Going to mess around tomorrow or sunday with smaller spacers and take out arch linings to see if they make a difference! Got my boot build done this evening so will get few pictures !

I put in a set of HID's that I had left over from my MK4 :smiley: So much better than normal. I also said Id try spray the 3 plastic inserts that go into the steering wheel as they were very worn. Sprayed them reflex silver and they go very well with the trim :smiley: Should have my Rear Reflector soon have it ordered :smiley:
I also got LED interior light kit from Ebay which are very nice and bright in the dark, got the number plate lights too, should have got pictures in the dark, but o well :P Going over to the UK on Tuesday for few nights to Manchester :happy2:

1. One of my wing mirrors was broke when I got the car so the guy I bought it of sent me out a replacement. I said id try something different and spray them black. Turned out well.. Not to glossy so im happy. Not a great sprayer but id tackle a few small parts.
(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2Fhh500%2FAidan_Tracey%2FDSCI0159_zpsqxtzznrh.jpg&hash=d6afe1ed41b8d67bfdbe13a1626939bcfb6be5bd)
2. While I was doing the mirrors I seen that my engine cover was very dirty so I sanded it down and gave it a few coats of Black.
Also cleaned out the Engine bay while I was at it. Looking very clean now :happy2:

3. My rear reflector from R32 bumper has been gone with about 3 months so decided id get of my arse and get a new one :smiley: Was very surprised with a price of €16 from the dealers! :happy2:

4. Had my wheels of for winter so I Split them and polished the lips. In two minds to sell these and get something else with better fitment. I sprayed my calipers Silver as they were pure dirt. Also sprayed the outside of my disc as they were filty dirty and rusty. Looks a lot better now anyway so happy :happy2:

I picked up a MK6 boot handle, looks so better than the white worm mk5 one! I also swapped over the fog light cover from my old rear lights to the R32 rears, The gray on both sides go very well with the car :smiley: .If things go well I should have a pair of Depo projectors by the end of the week :smiley: Hopefully another few bits aswell so will keep updated :happy2:

Car has had nothing new since last post as I went travelling America for 3 months in the summer so didn't do anything car related!
Before I left I sold my wheels as I was just sick of them. When I retuned home last week the battery was f**ked so ended up getting a new battery. Got a new windscreen fitted today as other one was cracked.
Graduated from Uni last week so im on the job hunt now, once I secure a job it will be time to kick on with this car. Im waiting on a few small bits for the car now:
- AUX button for in front of the gear stick.
- Cherry red hazard switch
- New chrome AC knobs for the switches.
Few plans for the car for winter hopefully includes:
- Service & few small bits end of September.
- New front struts so I can lay frame as current ones are to high.
- RCD510.
- New flushed grill in either gloss or matt black.
- Boot pop mod.
- Re-map & few more bits.
- New wheels, thinking along the lines of Vossen CVT(really like these), BBS CH or Rotiform BLQ/IND

Will give a update when I get the few small bits done and wash the car :happy2:

Managed to get a good job 4 weeks ago, BUT; I fractured my leg playing soccer 5 days before due to start, Ive been in a cast since and getting it of next Thursday, luckily they have the job held for me and hopefully be starting in 2 weeks time. Haven't been much done to the car as haven't been drove much or money.
I replaced the front window, flushed the front grill and plasti dipped it, cherry red hazard switch, aux button, then just a service and and abs sensor fixed.
I have my NCT(Irish version of DOE) later this month, and I may have to take out the air suspension. It should pass first time, but now I am in 2 minds to either keep it, or bring it back to standard and move up to an 06/08 GTI my insurance is only an extra 80£ which I was surprised as only 21 and now I have a job so be ok to run it as its only 10 min drive to the job.
I don't hate the 5 doors, it's just the MK5's look so much sportier when 3 door, in my mind I'm thinking to put back in the original parts and keep the good things such as Xexons, R32 rears and possible either sell the Air or keep it for a GTI.
I'm not to sure, tough call. Will give a update later this month on my decision, any one an opinions on what to do?

How much is your insurance now? It skyrocketed for me this year and I've no claims, 25 and living in Galway..
I'm with Liberty, 21, 3 or 4 years NCB, third party I paid 720 for my TDI and when I rang the other day to see a GTI it was €110 extra or €290 for full comp, I'm only insured a month

VW Golf mk5 1.9tdi 150
Post by: Tracey on November 24, 2015, 09:06:23 pm
I'd sell if I were you....the 1.9 is so restricted to what you can do without paying through the tooth for it....big brakes need loads of changes....hubs, suspension etc....5speed gearbox if your looking to go much faster than standard map (unless u have the 6speed)...if u can go for the GTI do it... Looks great though..!!
VW Golf mk5 1.9tdi 150
Decided to keep it, Just started a new job so doing a few bits and fixing the air suspension properly at the moment to lay frame and a new boot build.Will get new wheels in the new year and a few more small bits. I will think about changing around this time next year as I should know if im full time :happy2:

Also picked up a new Headunit from a friend breaking a MK5, not sure the make of it but im over the moon with it. has Maps, DVD, BT ,USB and car information. Paid £175 for it and taught it was definitely worth it.

Picked up an airlift 4 gallon tank instead of my 5 gallon chunky one. Re-did my boot build with carpet from only charged dubs, picked up 4 compressor silencers from Ebay and they definitely help with the vibrations. Overall I'm very happy with it as I didn't want anything over the top.

Another small update is that I painted my calipers as they were a bit shook!

So... the bad news, Had my struts replaced 2 weeks ago and the power sterring light has come on. I got it tracked yesterday and the front was a good bit out but its perfect now, I taught this could have been the problem but light is still on after fault was cleared. The code is :
00573 - Power steering torque sensor - faulty sensor - intermittent.
I have read up online and seems like a need pump will be needed. Has anyone had this issue before and are they any other things I can try that could solve the problem. The power steering is fine its just the light??
I ordered a VCDS cable last week so I should have that tomorrow :smiley:
