Hi My driver door is stuck, couldn't open from inside or outside. Anyway to get it open? I had this problem of needing to pull the outside door handle twice, a few weeks before the above dreaded stuck door happened.

Hi all Thinking of getting the R32 (from a Mk5 gti) so this dealer has the nice blue 4dr. As I was in a hurry, the test drive was brief. But I do notice the car judders/vibrates a bit (not hugely) when its rolling off from standstill. Rolling off means creeping forward without applying any gas...

Hi Over the past few days, I discovered that my RNS510 was having difficulty locating satellites. And finally since yesterday, it couldn't locate any satellite at all. I'd checked the hidden menu and it showed antenna disconnected but when I removed the RNS510 to check, the antenna was still...

Hi Can it pull up without the special key tool ? Tks

Hi After heavy raining, i noticed that the front seats and mats/carpets were wet. Once when I was driving under heavy down, I noticed that water was dripping from A-pillar around the visor area. I read that it could be due 1. Door seals 2. Sunroof drains - where to locate these? Anyone has...

Hi all On the inner aspect of this mount, there's some shavings off the rubber exposing the metal inside the rubber. Otherwise this mount is still in very good condition. The question is can I still re-use this mount? Tks

Hi Is there a maintenance schedule for the receiver-dryer? Do we need to change it every few years? Is it a pain to change it? Need to remove the whole front assembly?

Hi Time to change my brake pads, I'm running R32 front & stock gti rear. I visited an online store, but was confused by the different sizes available, though I selected R32 front & Gti rear. Here are the options: For R32 front: 1. width (mm)= 155.1/156.3, 2. height (mm)= 72.9, 3. thickness...

Hi Sorry for the noob qn but I need to pull it out soon cos is draining battery and there's no diagram on both the fuse boxes Tks

Hi everyone Is this fuel cut? At higher gears (mostly 4th gear onwards, 3rd if upslope), my gti speeds drop above 3000 rpm, despite flooring the pedal. Need to let the rpm drop below 3000, either by releasing the pedal and wait or change up the gear. The top speed is around 122/3 km/hr at 6th...

Hi I don't have a visual when my mechanic threw away these and used cable ties instead...damn it. Anyone has a picture or what kind of clips or part no. for the front & rear? Thanks
