Title: new member and owner needs help
Post by: errorinside on November 12, 2014, 07:48:51 pm
Hi all , ive just brought a golf gti mk5  ive wanted 1 for years  and managed to find a nice fully loaded one :) I have a few questions about it  I hope this is the right place to post this .
1st ,  ive noticed when I open the door via remote on key  the drivers  door makes a  strange noise but only when I open , when I lock its fine , the noise is like a vibration sound ? make any sense ?   2nd is  the  boot handle has corroded can I fix this ? also how do you use cruse control and auto wipers ? any help would be great thanks

Hello and welcome to the forum
1.the noise when you open the door will be the door module i would think it making the noise you mention
2.take it your gti is a early one with the white worm,you can either paint it like i did or replace it with a later badge
3: cruise control works over 60 mph i thing and you should have a slide switch on the indicator stalk

My cruise control works for whatever speed I select or currently going. :confused:

I press the left button of the left stalk to activate and turn the upper button to the right to deactivate.

Welcome to the forum.

Cruise normally works around the 15mph mark think.
