cars topping out at 107mph

It's in limp mode. Get it scanned for fault codes as a first step, what engine is it?

limp mode  really dom an still doing 107   

Well it's only hitting 5000rpm which suggests limp mode. I thought that just capped the revs at 5k?

I reckon mine would do 107mph at 5000rpm

not 100% with a golf but when our a3 went into limp mode it would be lucky to do half that 

I haven't had it on the MK4, but when my Mk3 went into limp mode there was no reduction in power, it just hit the limiter early.

you might be right then  but then its a standard mk4 op think yourself lucky it does 107

Have a look at this thread to see if there is someone near you that will do it for you:

Alternatively you can download VCDS-Lite from the Rosstech website and buy a cheap ebay cable and do it yourself.
