Title: 1st vw. 2005 golf gti.
Post by: chippy on March 02, 2012, 02:39:58 pm
Hi all. well my first vw and after a week its turned out just great. have moved from an astra 3dr sri 150 cdti to the vw for many reasons. being as the astra was my 1st vauxhall i think it was a bad decision .the seats in the astra are so crap! so uncomfy. unlike the vw seats ahhh no more aching back. I'm sure looking through the posts that some people have moaned about the golfs stereo. well if you listen to the astra's 7 speaker system and then listen to the golf's 10 speaker system without the amp its miles apart. just crap!. will never go back to vauxhall again for sure. so rant over don't buy a vauxhall if you want comfy seats! lol.

2005 5dr black gti with a custom remap from dg autotech" nice people to speak to even though last owner had the remap done"
think a nice little forge bov will be next. test driven another 3dr and think that had one. not to loud but just right.

Welcome buddy, do your research into the blow off valve as there not really meant to used on the Mk5 GTI due it being a re-circulated air system so in a way it's like having a slash in the boost pipe  :scared:
