  1. VW GTI
    Hello all - I've never done any mods to my car before but trying to install a new stereo because my factor one had the screen cracked (still turns on, just display hard to read). When I hooked up the harness adapter and the new stereo, the stereo wouldn't turn on. I checked the voltage when...

  4. New Member Introductions
    The car is my son's, who rescued it from this kid who did things to this car I will never understand. 6 months ago, the power window (passenger side only) started slowing down with each use. We stopped using it while it was up, and this weekend replaced the motor. Now we've discovered that there...
  5. MKV GTI
    I have been seriously considering a 2009 mk5 GTI and everything on it seems great, but the previous owner has lowered the car and the ride is too stiff for me. If I bought the car would this be easy to reverse and if so how much would it cost? Also is there anything specific I should watch out...
  6. MKV GTI
    Hey all, I am looking to possibly sell my 2006 GTI MKV. I just don't have the love to give her. She just rolled over 150K and was just wondering what you think she might be worth. She's in fairly good condition but needs some TLC. Putting some feelers out there just to see what I might be able...
  7. MKV GTI
    Hey guys! So I just brought my GTI back from an oil change and right off the bat I noticed that there is a bumping sound when it is idling, but can't be heard when I give it gas. Along with it the cars RPM's seem out of whack. Say I'm switching from 2nd to neutral at 2500, the RPM's will stay at...

  12. MKV GTI
    When I shift into third it makes an awful grinding noise as if I am not using the clutch. However, if I shift before about 2500rpms it does not grind. After doing research and looking around I've come to the conclusion that it's the synchro and started calling places in the area to get quotes...
  13. MKV GTI
    Hi all, I have a stock MKV (FSI engine) and I have been hearing a strange noise when I turn the ignition key to the first notch, before I start the engine. It sounds to me like a pump working in vacuum, or a gear slipping. It comes from behind the glove box, and I am not sure what's back there...
  14. MKV GTI
    So I noticed my bulb was going on and off on my front right dipped beam, so I of course got it replaced. Turned out to be an igniter AND bulb issue. My Uncle runs a Euro shop in the Houston Heights that Specializes in German cars, So he put a new igniter in it, but for a BMW. Since putting...

    Hi All, I have a stock 2008 MkV with 50k miles on it, and not long ago I noticed a grinding noise sometimes, only when taking left turns. I looked behind the wheel and I noticed some green on a black tube (sorry about the lack of proper terminology). I don't know if it's the green underneath the...
  18. MKV GTI
    I just recently bought a 2007 GTI from a private seller, problem is, it only came with one key, which I believe is the valet key. I have read plenty on buying a fob and programming it and what not with two keys. My question is can you program it yourself having only one key? I only want to be...
  19. MKV GTI
    I got a CEL and the code came back P2181. I researched it and it was a generic code for the cooling system. I took it to the dealer and they said the thermostat should be changed. Part is 55, but they said they need to remove the intake and it'd take over 4 hours of labor, thus the 500+ fee. Are...
