Hi everyone, I have just bought a donor mk5 as I need the gearbox for our other mk5. I have however also fitted the multifunction steering wheel, steering wheel control module and airbag from the donor car into my 2008 mk5. After fitting I carried out the basic settings of the G85, g200 and...

Hi guys, my car has now passed the 1/4 million mile mark, with it still on its original springs and front shocks. I'm thinking of fitting mk6 gtd springs front and rear with new front shocks to stiffen things up a bit and a slightly lower ride. Has anyone done this? Thanks in advance ?

Hi everyone! I have a 2008 golf estate tdi dsg. One of the LED’s has failed in the Tachometer in the instrument cluster. They are the midline clocks at the moment but thinking of upgrading to the high line clocks with the bigger centre screen. Coding the keys to it isn’t a problem as i can do...

Hi Guys, advice more than anything please. I’ve had my golf estate With 2.0tdi BMM engine for almost 4 years, done 60,000 miles and pretty much all that time I’ve heard a turbo whine / faint howl. I keep checking for play in the shaft everytimw I drop the oil out ( around 6,000 miles). There’s a...

Hi guys, a friend has a 1.9tdi PD , his turbo is on its way out and leaking oil into the inlet. I read somewhere here the common rail turbo is an upgrade? Do they bolt straight on? Many thanks

Hi everyone, I know some of the pd 8v engines are common for camshaft failure but I've only heard of the 1.9pd failing. I have the 2.0 8v pd BMM engine in my car, approaching 220,000 miles now. Anyone know of cam failure on this engine? Apologies if this has been asked before. :)

Hi everyone, trivial question really but of interest. My friends 2010 Vw Touran 2.0 tdi is about to reach 600,000 miles, As these have the same dials as the mk5 golf and jetta i wondered if the mileage will stop at 621,xxx like the mk4's? Has anyone passed that yet in a mk5? Thanks guys! :-)

Hi everyone, I'm sorry if this seems a pointless question but after some advice. My 08 BMM has 203,000 miles, when cold I can hear a faint whine coming from the turbo. I always allow the engine to idle for a few mins before setting off yo allow oil to circulate. It has been making this noise...

Hi all, I know it's not a vw golf or jetta but the same kinda thing and thought you'd all be interested to hear. I work for a breakdown company and work closely with vw. My colleague helped a guy two days ago with a 2004 Audi A3 1.9tdi PD, he uses the car as a van mainly doing long distant...

Hi everyone, a quick question. I was having a chat with a vw breakdown guy today. On the subject of my 2008 golf tdi he said my engine (BMM) is the effected engine for oil pump drive wearing out. Is this true? It's done almost 180,000 now, I'm wondering if it's worth me changing the drive and...

Hi all, Im not sure if I gave a problem or not. Last month I had my dsg gearbox overhauled, new mechatronic, clutches, dualmass flywheel and rear main oil seal. Yesterday I started the car from cold and I'm certain I heard the flywheel knock/rattle on start up, I even switched it off and...

Hi all, I have the BMM 2.0 tdi engine in my mk5 golf. I have read and heard of oil pump drive failures in vw engines. My car is now approaching 180,000, I'm wondering if it's worth me changing the oil pump drive on my engine as a precaution or leave well alone? What's everyone's thoughts? :)

Hi everyone, I finally got round to taking my golf into a gearbox specialist for the shifting problem from drive to reverse and PRNDS flashing. The garage have removed and split the gearbox to check for internal damage or wear as it has done 176,000 miles.( I don't consider 176,000 particularly...

Hi everyone. I recently bought a 2008 golf tdi DSG. It has done 176,100 miles now but have a problem. When shifting from Drive to neutral or park the gearbox "clunks" a few times before changing to neutral or reverse. Occasionally it will clunk several times resulting in the engine management...
