Hi, just joined today. Recently bought myself a new car i was offered and it was perfect what i was after- ended up with this stunning example of a edition 30 dsg @36k from new in candy white, has a few mods like exhaust system and air intake . eibach springs and bilstein shocks and some.merc wheels(which im.wanting to swap for some bbs /motorsporty wheels at some point) Such a step up from my old seat ive had for years!

-
Aye cant fault it, im not doing much to it change wise other than wheels as its perfect as it is!
-
Very nice! I just stepped up from an ep3 type r and can't believe how much better quality it feels also.
-
Yes very solid cars. Never looked at golfs and this just came along and i had to have ot

05 plate eddy? or private
looks nice, check the follower :wink:
welcome :happy2:
-
Private mate, its getting swapped out soon. Its a 57 and im gonna get another private on it!
-
Whats the follower?
I assume you mean cam follower, what are the common issues on these 2.0tfsi (any mods to help prevent issues?) also are these belt or chain driven as my mate claims his a5 is chain on a 2.0t
-
PCV / Cam Follower / Throttle Body are weak points... the DV less so on the K04.
Belt driven... £349 for Belt and Pump atm at VW. :happy2:
-
Is the pcv at the top of the engine where the breather pipe is? Anywhere i can get upratd tb or cam followers?
-
Saw this driving on the m61 last week. Was very tidy
-
Will of been me, were you driving a grey golf or a blue r32?
-
Very nice example mate, great spec, later model, low miles and probably the rarest colour. Look after her :happy2:
-
I plan on it , had a ibiza for 4.5 years now and ive kept that mint! This is on another level though
-
If it was me the first thing id do is change the red part of the splitter to black :happy2:
But other than that looks amazing!
-
Congrats on your new Eddie! :happy2:
It's just like mine although I only had the chance to add some gadgets to it. Apart from that it only has better wheels and Eibach Sportlines at the moment. :smiley:
I'd just paint the splitter to black and the centre grill trim to it's original colour. :wink:
-

Silver one
-
Yes i remember seeing yours then is it a ed30? And as for the splitter it looks bettter in person , the rear valance is also the same colour
-
I was contemplating on getting my splitter painted red but decided to stick with all white for my gti.never saw one some red before
-
Beautiful example mate... Love that red splitter! :happy2:
-
Yes me too, not to everyones taste but im keeping it pretty much as i bought it. Im after some different wheels at the moment. Just dont have a clue what ets and widths will be a good fit on the mk5 plateform
-
Found this in the boot, was never fitted. I was just wondering were it exactly fits in the car

Might pop it down to my local vw to be fit if it goes over my head
-
From what I can tell bottom bit fits in the armrest and top part fits in the glovebox. Someone should be able to confirm if you can use both or only one?

I think you're right but I don't see the need to have both (doubt that it's possible too). Just choose where you want a MDI player to connect USB pen drives or iPods/iPhones. :happy2:
-
I think the armrest will be best, need to find out if it fits like
-
i find that the armrest is most convenient saves reaching across to the glovebox if need be.
wiring might already be in place if not might be able to get it from eBay or TPS perhaps?
-
got a box full of wires and instructions , went down to my one of my local VW dealers.. they didnt seem to have a clue what it is or claim to have seen one. which is shocking, got the reply "it must be from a mk6 golf and not for a mk5". Dont think ill ever be using them again for info or help ha
-
Lol that is not surprising! When I asked about the cam follower they kept talking about the cam belt then they just said we have never heard of the cam follower. Worst thing is when I ordered the cam follower they sent a sun visor clip instead!
-
Quick question, the car is running a air intake kit and on after boost i get little chirps, just worried its turbo stall. Is this normal on a mapped car witha exhaust system
-
Curious to see the rear valance if its red! any photos?
