Mk5 General Area / SKC for 2007 R32 in Southampton

« Last post by gavmatt1978 on June 03, 2025, 07:51:19 am »

Hi, can anyone recommend someone who can get the SKC for my car please? Looking to retrofit highline clocks. The new clocks are 972 and can be coded with VAG commander, just obviously can’t get the SKC off my current clocks???

Cheers

Mk5 General Area / Re: Cold Air Intake Fitted - Too Loud? (help)

« Last post by mjmallia on June 03, 2025, 07:32:04 am »

They are still loud even with the ED30/S3 DV placement, as I relocated/plumbed my DV off the turbo to the ED30/S3 location to stop the heat soak that damages them and for much easier DV checks.

With also being the other side of 40  I sold it all and went back to original, even after the enclosed BMC CDA unit.

Each to their own

Just thought I’d chime in on this, as around 6 months ago I fitted a Ramair induction kit to mine, and was pretty well astonished at the noise levels!
Being firmly the wrong side of 40, I wasn’t necessarily impressed with the boy racery sound track! Rechecked the install and made sure of no leaks, DV valve replaced etc, but it turns out these hard pipe kits just do simply magnify the natural forced induction noise, that’s normally covered up by that ludicrously convoluted VW standard intake top cover! (I’ve since seen the Ed30’s are quieter after having an induction kit fitted by virtue of the DV placement being different).
Anyway, I’ve since learnt to live with it and not over think it too much.

Mk5 General Area / Re: vibration from idle to 1400rpm

If you haven't replaced the CV axle bolts with new one there is a high possibility they came loose. Use some loctite on them 👍 Have you renewed the subframe bolts?

Mk5 General Area / vibration from idle to 1400rpm

« Last post by secretreeve on June 02, 2025, 06:56:20 am »

hey guys,

got a 2006 mk5 golf gt tdi with 2l bkd engine.

saturday my little brother and i installed new sway bars, drop links and coil overs front and rear, took it for a test drive, drove it quite hard in fairness.

anyway, it started off all good but on the way back theres aggressive vibration. this vibration is from start up to about 1400rpm. its there when changing through gears, clutch in and out, worst at 1200rpm.

engine mounts where done about a year ago, ball joints, track rod ends where all done as well, wheel bearings been changed. no vibration was there after these jobs.

its only since driving it quite hard. i will admit, we was unable to get the axle/cv bolt out of the knuckle so we disconnected the passenger side cv axle from the gear box to do the coil overs. not the first time i've done cv axles and it all went back together perfectly.

we made sure everything was torqued down to the correct spec and tight.

so im wondering what could be causing the vibration, its there on cold and hot start up, under load pulling off, between 1200-1400 rpm regardless of gear and with clutch in. also at idle in neutral not moving but not as bad.

Mk5 General Area / Lazy dsg gearbox??

« Last post by BradMK5 on May 31, 2025, 10:05:43 pm »

Hi guys first post on this forum

Bought my gti back in september everything been sound until the last month where ive noticed the 3rd and 4th gear changes tend to be at around 2500/3500 revs and sometimes in 2nd and 5th gear too, ive recently had a fresh dsg service a couple days ago from a vag specialist (i thought that would’ve been the problem), i checked with them if they calibrated the gearbox via VCDS which they said they did but this issue is still happening? Ive done some digging and ive seen that maybe its being caused by the rear wheel bearings with the speed sensors not sending the right signal to the gearbox for gear changes?

If anyone could help me out id appreciate it, and if anyone knows of any other common faults why this could be happening please let me know! Thanks

Mk5 General Area / Re: MK6 clocks into MK5 - ABS Pump

Excellent. Really good job I just read through the whole thread and it sounded like it could be a bit of a minefield.

Your ABS pump is ok for white clusters. As Eddie-NL said:

Works ok:
1K0 907 379 Q
1K0 907 379 AA
1K0 907 379 AC

My Ed. 30 being MY2008 has an AC rev ABS pump, so it's also compatible, although still MK60. My GT Sport has an AD rev ABS pump, so it's the 1st rev that changed to MK60EC1.

Only now I've read properly the topic.

Hello,

Just to say thank you to this precious information.

I was able to actually fit a Scirocco 2015 R-Line cluster to my 2005 Golf MK5. I have ABS pump MK60 : 1K0 907 379 Q.

Works like a charm with Scirocco black & white cluster (1K8 920 975 D for info).

Just had to swap the key transponders to new ones, encode the keys and a little tweak to the immobilizer coding (that part was for a friend with really good knowledge).

So thank you so much @Shoduchi & @Eddie-NL 



Note : I needed to change my cluster due to a faulty immobilizer (I had to disconnect the battery almost every day for the immobilizer to recognise my key). So this was an opportunity to do the swap. And please do not pay attention to the engine light on : it's a faulty N345 sensor which need replacement.

Do a full scan. Without that it's impossible to tell you anything
