What did you do to your Mk5 today?

Sold my black Jetta. Was a nice 2 years of ownership. Now only 1 VW in the garage.

I installed an RCD 330 plus in about 30 minutes. Was pretty easy actually. Fits perfectly and is fantastic to use. Only thing now is to work out how to make the Park Pilot default instead of the rear view camera......

Car battery just under 4yo died without much warning.. was hard to start one day. Charged it overnight, it started fine in the morning, by the end of the day it was dead. Lucky I was at home.

Replaced the AC Delco 550CCA with a Exide XDIN66MF 700CCA (42 month warranty) as recommended by the battery store (purchased both batteries from him).

Let's hope the Exide will last longer than AC Delco.

PM me if you're in Melbourne and need a good price on a battery. He will even install it for you for free if you take your car there. My car was dead dead so I picked it up and installed it at home, otherwise, I would have got him to do it.

Spent time trying to diagnose a battery issue on the 2.0 FSI. We fitted a "new" headunit the other day. Not sure if the flat battery yesterday is related. About to go try a few diagnostics.

What year is your car? Pre-MY07 cars need a CAN gateway upgrade to avoid head unit battery drain issues.

Mine is an early 2005. The unit worked fine, but we've put the old unit back in. I've still got the battery drain. I need to suss that out. I think I need a new engine mount or two as well.... the engine makes quite a movement as it's slotted into gear.

Did a muffler (suitcase) delete, pretty happy with results!

i have a 3 inch down pipe installed previously so this mod definitely improves the pops

much louder without the suitcase? have a spare axleback here, was toying with the idea of removing the suitcase while keeping the stock resonator to avoid droning

Hi all,
Just wondering, after a self-inflicted trailer injury, I have to replace the RF guard on my Golf MkV Pacific and unsure if a MkV GTI panel is interchangeable. Anyone know off the top?

It is noticeable louder with a nice tone to it but not annoying loud
