Mk5 General Area / Brake pads - which type?
« Last post by slipd on June 30, 2025, 07:19:03 am »Hi guys,
Is there a way of finding out which brake pads you have? I notice on most of the part sites that there are a couple of variants. I've got a standard, 1.6 FSi BLF.
Thanks!

Of course depending on severity of leak it could be that too.
IIRC the sensor is 2 wire so try bridging it with a paper clip and see if comp. cuts in.

It's only just been regassed so I'm thinking it could be the sensor?

Judging by the code you have a leak .

« Last post by dave1814 on June 26, 2025, 04:35:38 pm »Hi guys,
For anyone that's had a bad high pressure sensor issue, did you compressor still spin in the center or does the car automatically cut it off to protect it? Mines not spinning when the aircon is on.
I've got the error...
00229 - Refrigerant pressure.
002 - lower limit exceeded.
thanks!
Dave

Mk5 General Area / Headliner Material
« Last post by Gull on June 25, 2025, 10:08:42 pm »Hi folks!
I managed to salvage my old headlining which has lasted a little while but the dreaded sag is stating to appear around the glasses holder.
Has anyone (recently) found an OEM quality fabric which matches the pillars for a replacement headlining? I'm certain I saw someone doing a really good replacement but I can't find the post and the search only comes up with pretty old threads :(
Any suggestions would be most welcome!
Thanks,
Gull
