Simple & Subtle mods

IMO a remap on the GTI makes the car so much more enjoyable and they aren't expensive for what you get.

I've not heard of any reliability issues caused by a remap on a mk 5 or 6

Most have a 7 day trial so you can test it and see if you like it.

^ I found yours a supple difference but an enjoyable one, very linear and smooth.
Will do mine one day just need to sort its gremlins out first.

Still interested in seeing some rolling road graphs when you are better.

Rear footwell lighting?      I'm intrigued!..

look under the rear of the front seats. You will see a cutout in the metalwork for a light. Buy the front footwell lights from vw and wire them to the front ones.

My only concern is it is a shame the wire is not there as I cant face pulling up the carpet on my new car just yet.

So I presume you need
- The footwell lights
- LED bulbs
- Decent connectors and wire

Has anyone done this and got a list of parts and the best place to buy them from?  Also is there a neat way of running the wires without spoiling the car?   I want to find some neat connectors and plug them in - do these exsist?

If you goto that other mk5 forum in the for sale section do a search there's a guy in there that sells a complete plug and play kit. With ready built harness etc. Think he goes by Eddie it something like that. His thread should come up with a search for retro fit kits or something like that. If you want to see photos of them fitted have a look on that forums member page at montys tdi thread.

Loved my remap, no issues at all.


I too was wary but I don't even think about it now.

Just cant seem to find anyone doing them?
