I did an impulsive buy last week🫣
Bought a 334mm Brembo Z17 brake set up for one of the mk3's...
It was only test fitted to see if it would all fit 😎 then the seller changed his mind and put it up for sale...

How’s yours going?

Very slowly, a few higher priority issues have cropped up. Still ordering parts though.

Looking really good now it's  nearly all  back together.

The finish line is finally in sight!

Picked up the rest of the bolts today so cracked on with getting the rear brakes assembled and the springs fitted along with the lower control arms:











I realised that I’d forgotten to order the rear flexi brake lines  so will nip out to GSF and grab some tomorrow to hopefully get the brake system filled up and bled!

While I’m on with the brakes, does anyone have a clue how this pad retaining spring goes in on the S3 brakes? It looks like the slot in the pad bracket is way too far in and all I’m doing is scratching the sh*t out of the freshly painted calipers 😭



Anyways, once the rest is bolted together then ill be taking it for an MOT as it ran out while I've been doing this, and then straight for an alignment me thinks!

Members Rides / Mk5 Edition 30 Stored since 2009

« Last post by illyun on September 17, 2026, 08:59:40 pm »

Hi all, I’m an old timer here and can still see one or two familiar faces from back in the day.  I’ve been working abroad and life just got in the way, but I had my Edition 30 stored in a heated garage for around 10 years and then realised I was burning money and brought it back home to my garage where it’s been since 2019.  I’m planning to stay in the UK now for the foreseeable future and plan to bring it out next year!  It’s done 40k miles mostly to Amsterdam where I worked back in 2008/09 and no, it’s not for sale 😅.

I’ve just ordered the last of the bolts (I hope 😂) so next week should be the end of the line I think, got a week off so hoping to get it all sorted by then

How’s yours going?

I'm still here following , finding it difficult to be able to reply. Glitchy site and slow these days.

Good work coming together nicely. Nearly there.

Mk5 General Area / 1K0 959 701 N / 793 K SW1213 – Mirror folding via remote key

« Last post by vaxi999 on September 14, 2026, 08:49:50 am »

Hi,

I’m trying to enable automatic mirror folding via the remote key on my Golf Plus.

My driver door module is:

1K0 959 701 N
HW: 1K0 959 793 K
HW006 / SW1213

Passenger side is the matching:

1K0 959 792 K

The mirrors are electrically folding and work normally from the mirror switch.

I already tried the common Gen3 EEPROM modifications and the VCP OCF procedure for remote mirror folding, but nothing happens on my SW1213.

From what I found, the 793K/792K modules can support fold-on-key, but the K version seems to require a different EEPROM modification than the later P/R/T modules.

Has anyone successfully enabled this specifically on:

1K0 959 701 N / 793 K / HW006 / SW1213

I’m mainly looking for:

exact EEPROM addresses and values
a before/after EEPROM dump
a known compatible firmware version
or the correct VCP / ODIS-E procedure for this K version

I have the full EEPROM dump from my SW1213 and can share it.

Thanks!

Managed to get a bit more time on the car today, got a few more bits bolted on.

Could have got most of it bolted up to be honest but the rear wheel bearings that were sent were too big on the internal race, so I’ve had to send them back and get the correct ones!

Finally got round to fitting the dodgy air con pressure switch since I’ve spent the entire summer without cool air after it burst 😂




The started building the rest of the back end up as far as I could - also still need a couple of bolts which are on order






I’ve got a week off coming up so hopefully should have it back on the road and down for an MOT as it ran out while it’s been sat on the drive!

Also, the trusty Skoda Octavia VRS will then be going up for sale so I can finally go back down to two cars on the drive 😂 If anyone fancies a MK1 VRS then give me a shout haha, it’s had loads of work done but the body isn’t the tidiest, not rusty but just a bit unloved







Anyways, should hope fully have the final updates on here in the next couple of weeks!

Cheers for reading!
