Merry Christmas!
The car is now 18+ years old, but the mods will not stop here :).
Even if I consider I've done a lot to the car, there still are things I can improve on...

First of all, the driving position... I am a bit too high in the seats and the steering wheel is a bit too far away. For the seat height problem I am in the process of finding a solution, but I think I've solved the other part...
I think ever since I changed the seats (14+ years ago if my memory serves me right), I wanted to fit a steering wheel spacer. But I just couldn't find the proper spacer. Until a few months ago when I, again, searched and found a very elegant solution:

https://spacershop.com/product/steering-wheel-spacer-for-volkswagen-golf/?srsltid=AfmBOorfGOJlw-h5Wq33qcHE0MOAYHO6xVfASOLEWpf-a4tsdSdLAIQ_

And the same spacer works for all 4 of my cars - in case I might not like the steering position in the other cars as well.

Since I took the steering wheel off, I notice it had a bit of wear and I decided to have it re-trimmed to Alcantara - as it should be better for trackdays.

Next up, lowering the seating position - but only next year.
Until then, Happy New Year!

Will take it with me next time I go home 🇭🇷 Now celebrating with family & friends in 🇧🇪
But to be honest…. It’s itching to work on all of them, only the Up is here…
Anyway…. I wish you all the best for 2026❤️

A random low oil pressure warning means your engine isn't getting enough lubrication, often due to low oil, a failing pump, worn internal parts, or a bad sensor/connection, and you should stop driving and shut off the engine immediately to prevent severe damage, then check your oil level and call for a tow if needed.

How to Guides / Troubleshooting / Re: How To: Mk5 Heated Seats Retrofit

« Last post by Golf5FSI on December 24, 2025, 11:23:14 am »

UPDATE:

I have managed to fix it, after I put some time and study schemas from "jason_rmh" in post nr1 of this thread

1. I have joined together pin2 and pin4 passenger on heat seat connector on the passenger side. I have used new wire and put in pin2 and crimped with pin4 together using "U" type terminal between seat and female connector.
With this I have achieved direct connection between pin4 on both seats and connection to HVAC module.

2. Removed fuse SC4 (kl15) from fuse box and leave only SC46 (kl15).
With this I have removed +12v from pin4 which disturbs signal from HVAC module, while HVAC module got separately +12v via SC46 (kl15).

No error is system. Heating works now as should on both seats.
Only thing to have full Feng Shui, is to find where is spliced SC4 (kl15) with pin4 wire originally and remove join leaving pin4 connections without voltage.
