Picking this up after many years, did you end up cutting the holes for the washer jets?

.... Whether OEM steel or aftermarket carbon, the bonnet doesn't have holes for the washer jets on the Mk5 GTI.

A carbon clean is still a good idea

Mk5 General Area / Re: Help golf mk5 - rear doors no power

« Last post by Mallz86 on Yesterday at 06:57:14 pm »

I took apart the interior panels and checked for power going to the exterior connector and I got 0 power excluding the black wire and a yellow/green wire. However it wasn’t constant it was a fluctuating power. (Only checked drivers side)

Could it possibly be a coding issue ?

Sorted! Ended up being a MAF sensor! I went back to the guys that remapped it. It was misfiring in all cylinders. I even cleaned the MAF  a few weeks back but it made no difference! It has to be changed. At the moment it's unplugged but going as well as ever!! I finally got my car back!

Just don't ever take a mechanics word for it. I was told that it was the cam chain. This was never the cam chain and I knew that. I had my lambda sensor changed because that was coming up in their diagnostic tool. It wasn't that either. But you end up paying for it.

The only positive that's come from this is that I changed the piston in my HPFP!

Just another note. I had 11 engine faults and not one of them was related to the MAF sensor. Be careful here because mechanics rely on their diagnostic tools nowadays instead of their mechanical knowledge. I had 2 lambda sensor faults, I had a boost pressure fault the p0229 one. I had the multiple misfire fault and misfire in cylinder 1,2,3 and 4. I also had a low fuel pressure fault.

Good luck guy and thanks for the input. Much appreciated.

Mk5 General Area / Help golf mk5 - rear doors no power

« Last post by Mallz86 on Yesterday at 09:30:08 am »

Hi all,

I’m in desperate need of help with my golf mk5 (5door). The rear two doors seem to get no power at all. The window, switches, speakers, door lock all do not work - I can’t control the window/lock from the front either.

I have replaced the wiring loom for one of the doors and no luck, I have checked the power to the window module on the replaced loom and I get no power. I checked the fuses and they’re all okay. I am totally stumped on what to do I get these two errors on VCDS.

46- comfort system - 00931, 00930 - lock unit for central locking.   Rear right+left

Before I replace the lock unit I want to understand if that would cause the rest of the door to get no power. I am also hopefully going to try swap my rear window modules with my mates to see if it makes any changes.

Anyone have a clue what’s going on

Mk5 General Area / Buzzing noise when starting

« Last post by mitchfloyd on October 02, 2024, 10:52:04 am »

Hi, I have a 2009 MK5 GTI. When starting cold, the car makes a strange buzzing noise for a few seconds. The noise is coming from the intake area, not the cam chain cover. I have checked the cam and it is not worn, and have cleaned the oil line.

Does anyone know what could be the cause? Thanks.
