Do all black mk5 gti have a pearl/flake in the paint as sometimes mines looks grey/silver lol
-
I think there's a black variant called 'black diamond pearl' so might explain why the colour looks different sometimes.
You got any plans with it? Looks good :happy2:

Cheers bud not sure yet just enjoying driving it just now. It has powerflex engine mounts and lower arm bushes. Need to see if it has upgraded dog mount when I accelerate in damp in 2nd when it starts to spin there's a lot of judder banging from front not sure if it's just wheel hop but quite annoying lol does it with traction on and off
-
Welcome chap. Nice looking car.
There's some pretty knowledgeable peeps on here, not me, others :laugh:

Sounds pretty normal to me, is it stock?
-
Stage 1
-
Yeah, I'm stage 1 and have the same thing in the wet, it really struggles for traction especially if it's just rained. Never normally in the dry though.
-
Decent tyres help. And feed the throttle in gently until the car has enough momentum to mash the pedal down, which helps with wheel hop and one tyre fires.
Eagle F1 SuperSport has been the best tyre for me so far in terms of traction, but when they're worn down to 3mm remaining, the tramlining is unbearable.

Cheers sure it's ps4 on front
-
Same here, still need to get the backs done though. Not sure what to go with...
It made a massive difference in the summer though, before it was just spinning through every gear. I couldn't even make out the names of them so must have been dodgy :driver:

little sound clip of exhaust

It depends on your power and torque goals. You could fit the turbo and nothing else (apart from basic plumbing), even retaining stock injectors.

So coolant is spraying out my golf lol does anyone know the part number for the plastic radiator hose connection

Yes- go with alloy one - the OG one is just a terrible design.
Where about are you in our little (big) country?

Reset the light and about 1 hour after driving popped back on again is this likely to be the o2 sensor
-

Yeah that's not ideal.
-
That happened to my Mk4 - runner flap tends to be a sympathy error code coming on with others.
-
I just cut the wire and I spliced them back together. Done the trick as after about 30mins driving the light went off so happy days
-
What rear wheel bearing do I need for my gti its a 2005 read that most are 30mm but some are 32mm also some say not to go by if its flat its a 32mm or raised its 30mm anyone know for sure

Just keep telling yourself "they were reps"
-
Yeah I know lol
-
Is it worth gutting a sports cat,?
-
Right guys wtf lol was wondering why my front suspension is banging over bumps surely this can't be right

-
Springs look a little to much compressed or is this just how they are !
-
And am I'm right in thinking k if these were screwed down it would lower car more? Looking at these tho I don't think they move
-
Looks like the spring has collapsed/snapped. No way the main coils should be touching like that.
-
That spring looks fubar tbh. I think as per @Pudding (https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=10733) says the coils are all touching bar the bottom turn.
-
Going to try the stance ultra proline coilover kit

Anyone?

Might be worth taking it to VW (or VW specialist) as it could be from anywhere? Was it in your car somewhere or have you found it on the floor near/under your car? :smiley:
-
it's not OEM - at a guess it looks like a bung to block off an opening in the inlet manifold - possibly part of flap delete?
-
Was in the boot the little side pocket
-
Turns out it was the end cap for the carbon bat that sits in place of the parcel shelf lol
Well been a pricey month left rear wheel bearing went and week later both drivers side ones too just got garage to do the lot of them. Then last night a knock from the front left turned out to be the wishbone poly Bush was toast.
