Golf mk5 / Re: MK5 at an official dealer
« Last post by david25 on Today at 12:16 »I wonder as well, if you're looking for a 3-door, it might be one of the safer purchases you can make if it comes with the two year warranty

Cars and parts for sale / Re: AXX de cat wanted
« Last post by The_Doc on Today at 01:36 »Don’t have a source for a decatted pipe, but why do you want one? It would almost certainly make your car illegal for use on UK roads (if they could meet emissions regs without them, manufacturers would) and there’s not practical reason to need one. All it will do is make your car smell worse, and throw a CEL. Instead of a decat, get a down pipe with a good high flow cat that meets emissions regs, is better for everyone.

General discussion / Re: 2013 Golf GTI DSG Fault
« Last post by barrym381 on 12 July 2025, 14:34 »Hi guys,
Ive found a 2013 golf gti for sale in marketplace for £5k. it has 103k miles but has a DSG fault.
ive seen on auto trader a 2013 gti with 100k miles is worth around 7-8k, is there a potential flip here?
if i buy the car for cheaper how much would it cost to fix the dsg fault?
I can send screenshots of the sellers advert
Thank you!
Yeah there’s definitely money to be made

Golf mk7 / Re: spare wheel removal
« Last post by Adam T7 on 12 July 2025, 14:02 »Yep, did that also took out the spindle, then you have to push the wheel towards
the front of the car and tilt the wheel up away from you to clear the inside trim.
It may sound trivial but it seems a really piss poor design.
A design feature that, hopefully, you’ll rarely need. Don’t fret over it and enjoy the car👍

Golf mk7 / Re: spare wheel removal
« Last post by Rudedog on 12 July 2025, 13:33 »If it's anything like the Polo's then I find it best to pull the tyre towards you and then lift the furthest edge up and out - so the opposite to what you would expect to do.
Found that out trying to lever out a full size spare from my wife's Polo, hopefully it's slight easier with a space-saver in the Golf.
