Mk5 General Area / Re: Depo headlights + led lights ERROR?

« Last post by Levi on Today at 11:05:01 am »

I cant find the 45 but i did find the v55. Do you think they are the same or maybe just a better version of the 45's?
Thank you.

Mk5 General Area / Re: Does the Oversized Ramair Intake require oiling?

« Last post by Jons1001 on Today at 11:04:27 am »

I've got the oversized Ramair and buy the ramair cleaning kit which is a cleaner and oil (i did research if another cleaner would be ok but couldn't get a definitive answer). So you use all the cleaner and then a light misting of oil which means you end up with nearly a full bottle of oil left over, but you can't buy them separately so just end up with loads of oil left over each time, bit of a waste really.

Depends entirely on the filter. If it's a paper filter, straight up replace it with a new one. If it's more cloth-like, probably wash it and oil it if it had oil included in the package or the manual says so.

New BorgWarner K03 will be around 1.2k euros. New aftermarket replacement part K03 will be 600-800 euros. Used should be under 180-250.

If your car is halogen:

I'd recommend going with Bevinsee V45 led's as those don't give any errors and are plug and play. I've had them for around 2 years now without any issues.

If your car is xenon:

Probably also V45's with the corresponding adapter or look on their website if they have a xenon to led conversion kit.

Here's my car with Depo projector headlights and V45's:

Mk5 General Area / Depo headlights + led lights ERROR?

« Last post by Levi on Yesterday at 08:22:00 pm »

Hello like the title says i want to buy some depo projector headlights next month and i wanna be prepared. I was looking at the cheap ebay adapter for led + some Osram/Philips led lights. My question is, can i just code them to not show any light error on the dash or do i have to buy a canbus decoder?

Thank you.

Wahoo! Glad to see it's back on the road.

Really nice wheels, I'd consider those myself if I could decide on a colour. Looking forward to the inevitable K04 swap, looking to do that too soon :)

Not sure what the cost of a new K03 is but probably a considerable amount. Personally I'd go for a second hand lower mileage K03 from a reputable seller.

Mk5 General Area / Does the Oversized Ramair Intake require oiling?

« Last post by SANDEGTI on Yesterday at 07:40:10 pm »

So I've been wanting to clean my air intake for a while now, it's way overdue and now it's sunny I'm wanting to do these jobs.

From what I remember the instructions didn't include re-oiling the filter after cleaning? But now I've seen videos on YouTube state that they need re-oiling, while others are saying not to do it at all.

Cheers guys.
