Title: First GTI Golf
Post by: uncletoby on April 10, 2013, 07:18:46 pm
Hey there. Just purchased my first GTI Golf, 2005 mk5 DSG. Absolutely love it, one of the best motors ive driven. I was however keen to ask you guys a couple of questions as it did not come with a user manual and im keen to get more familiar with this awesome machine.
- I cannot find cruise control anywhere, no stick nor options on the wiper stick... does it not come standard?
- Definitely sounds like a diesel when idling and at low revs... seems this is the case for all GTI's?
- Button on right side middle panel between the doors. It kind of looks like a sunroof button however i dont have a sunroof. Any clues?
- Also button next to stability control, i struggle to explain it as ive never seen it before... looks like a bucket on the button?

Sorry if these questions sound trivial, but would greatly appreciate some assistance.

Thanks all :happy2:

Congratulations on your purchase. Youll not be disappointed  :happy2:

Answers to your questions...
 
-Cruise was a option not a standard feature.
- i assume your talking about the ticking noise? Its perfectly normal its the pressure from high pressure fuel pump.
- the button on the pillar turns off the interior sensors on the alarm i believe.
And lastly the button next to the stability is to calibrate the tyre pressure sensors.

Baz is right but,

The button on the pillar is a tow away alarm (De -activate the if you have to be tilt and towed away)
The other is the tyre pressure reset

Enjoy :driver:
