Hi guys, In a few weeks I'm going to spray the plastic black parts (mkv European 5door GTI Unitey Grey) in a bodyshop. I want to spray the rear bumper (besides the centre lowest part/diffuser part, like in the picture. I also want to spray the sideskirts and I doubt if I should also paint the...

Hi guys, I have a 06 2005 GTI MKV (ABT remap 240ps) with DSG. Bought it in october 2010 (a year ago). Noticed that it 'hesitates' a little when driving off slowly (citydriving/trafficlights/etc.). So from a standstill, gently on the accelerator, it feels like it 'jumps' a little around...

Hi guys, I have the o.e.m. VW Golf V GTI alarm system plus (don't know how it's called in the US, but in The Netherlands it is called a 'factory class 3 alarm' with angle detection, interior sensors, door sensors, towing sensors, etc.) You arm/disarm/lock/unlock the MKV with the key/remote. If...

Hi guys, I don't have PDC/OPS on my European VW Golf V GTI 2005 and want to place an aftermarket PDC set. Just a simple one with a small hidden speaker in the trunk. So I can hear how close I am to an object (beep...beep..beep.beep.beep) Is there a how-to how to fit the sensors, distance...

Hi guys, I'm looking for the best price/quality coilover kit for my European VW Golf V GTI DSG 06-2005. (looking and comparing KW variant 1, Eibach Pro Street S, Bilstein B14, Koni, etc.) In my search I see two sizes/diameter shocks: -> 50mm and 55mm. Also there should be a difference between...

Hi guys, I want to remove the panel, circled in red in the picture at the bottom of this post. I want to get to the 12v wires from the 12v socket, but don't know how to remove this plastic panel to get to it!?! (click on image to enlarge) (sorry for bad iphone 3gs picture) Gr. Tim

I bought my GTI ('05, 85000km, UG, DSG, leather, ABT-remap, almost all options) in semptember 2010 at a VW-Dealer (The Netherlands). Because I'm familiar with VCDS (owned a TT mk1 quattro), I started scanning for faultcodes and found that the flapper motor failed and auto rain sensor didn't work...

Hi Guys, I want to spray the lower front lip, the sideskirts and the lower part of the rear bumper (I have a stock GTI, so al these parts are black plastics), to match my United Gray color. (Looking for a good paint shop over here, in The Netherlands) I need your opinions on this: Should I...

Hi Guys, In the future/depending on costs I want to spray my original GTI rear bumper (the lower part isn't painted like most mkv gti's, so just black plastic) or I want to change it to a R32 rear. Looking at pictures, I found the R32 lower part. So is only the lower part between the stock GTI...

Hi Guys, I noticed (especially in the sun) that all of the windows on my MKV GTI are 'bluish'). A friend of mine has a MKV GTI with o.e.m. 'privacy glass', so his windows are stock black-tinted. Is the 'bluish' tint stock o.e.m. (I live in the Netherlands)? And is it still possible to get the...

Hi guys, I have a 2005 GTI with the 'small mfa', so I don't have the option to adjust things like with the 'big mfa' (MFA+?) My footwell lights only go on when I open my doors, but I also want them on when I am driving and headlights are on/in darkness. And maybe with a adjusted brightness and...

Today I bought a set of good quality LED license plate lights, specially made for the VW Golf. Resistors are also included, so no faultcodes. I think they will look gOOd :happyanim: Going to fit them tomorrow. Sorry for the quality of the photo's (iPhone)...

Is it possible (with vagcom) to alter the time between wipes when the rear wiper is left "on"? The factory setting wipes the window way too often. Unecessary wear on the motor and blade and makes noise when window isn't really 'wet'. Once every 2 minutes would be enough. With vagcom I also...

Hi guys, I want to use dynolicious (iPhone app) to measure how many hp's I have. I know it's accurate because I tested my VW transporter with 130hp and it said 135hp after multiple tests and my Audi TT with a 215hp remap said around 211hp with dynolicious. But what's the drivetrain loss for...
