Comming nicely together👍🏻 Keep up the good work👍🏻 It’s a big job but you’ll get there😉 step by step🤗

Fair play mate for sticking with it, glad you got the gearbox issue sorted. That's a good share for us dsg owners if  we end up with the same issue.

Always better to do  what you can yourself if possible.

I'm in the same boat at the moment just getting on top of the repairs, luckily my car has been well looked after so it's mainly failing parts and  wiring issues, although the sills need looking at asap.

Look forward to seeing your progress.

Thanks guys, I appreciate the encouragement.

I'm trying not to get overwhelmed, and I've got a week vacation starting now so I will be taking a break from it for a bit.

But the week after I'm off work so hopefully will be able to push forwards

MK6 General Area / Drl wire for a 2009 gti

« Last post by Boysgti on Yesterday at 12:52:04 pm »

Good morning, I am trying to find a schematic or labeled picture for a 12 pin connector for xenon headlights.
I have my sons gti and the right side daytime running light does not turn on. I have checked the fuse and swapped the components from left to right and the issue remains the same. I am down to a wiring or plug issue, unless someone out there has an idea as to what it may be. I am assuming the wiring from the headlight assembly is good.  All other functions of the headlight work normally.
The car is a 2009 gti gas engine. I am not very familiar with electrical troubleshooting so any advice in a more basic language would be appreciated. Lol

Mk5 General Area / Re: Non space Saver Spare wheel (with pictures)

I know this is dragging up an old thread - but does anyone know if a full size alloy would fit once installing these larger bits of foam?  Eg I have an Edition30, if I bought a 5th BBS Pescara, would it fit?

It’s been a while again😅…
Had the chance to drive the Eddy again today😍
20 Years had to get a fresh MOT… so had to move the Eddy…
My little nugget passed without any faults 😎😍❤️… in about 3 weeks I’ll be back in 🇭🇷 and post some progress from the 20 Years👍🏻
So 1 v-dub moved out of the way for the other one…🥰
