The keys are laser cut which means that they can look exactly the same but will have very slight variations in the cuts to make them unique to your vehicle and more secure. This of course makes them very expensive to replace.

I read about that wiper thing but never understood how it worked! Thanks for showing us! 😊 I'll be trying that one tomorrow for sure!

If you look at where the windshield washer jets are there is a small screw next to each jet which allows you to aim the spray pattern of the washer fluid. If you have a euro spec gti that is equipped with headlight washers every time you wash your windshield with your headlights turned on the headlight washers will come out and spray washer fluid on your headlights. If you have your head lights turned off the headlight washers will come out after every 5 or 6 windshield washes. Some US spec mk5 gti's are equipped with the headlight washers but have the fuse for them removed from the factory, if you replace the fuse the headlight washers will work (if equipped). You can reset the service reminder message by holding the 0.0 trip reset button while you turn the ignition to the on position then press the M button and the service reminder will reset and dissappear. Repeat the process right away and the message will return. The mk5 gti actually has a heat/ac vent in the glove box and in the center console. Not sure why though 😁. You can reprogram the keyless entry on your mk5 gti original keys by being outside the range of the remote and pressing the lock/unlock buttons 5-6 times, then unlock the car with the physical key and insert it into the ignition and turn it to the on position and it will self program the keyless entry. Immobilizer chip must match the vehicle, you can't program a replacement keyless remote this way.

I was so confused on how to get my wipers up when I changed them a couple weeks ago, this will definitely come in handy next time they need replacing!

Love this channel seems so humble and actually has skilful cinematography

Awesome video always have been a huge fan of this gti ever since I've had mine... keep up the awesome work really been motivating me to get back to it

The wiper thing though, never knew about that. I have an 09 in the same spec as yours. Love your wheels by the way.

Thanks for the wiper blade trick, I have own 3 GTI and I still haven't change one of them

I have an mk5 jetta and with the wipers on highest setting when you come to a stop they will automatically reduce their speed and continue to highest setting once the car is moving again.

I have a mk5 r32. And when I select reverse, the mirrors automatically dip so that I don't kerb my wheels when parking. Always thought that was an amazing feature that many current cars don't have

I have a MK5 Golf GT Sport. Wich i do love. I got so excited when i could hold down a button to open and close windows! Had a good laugh with that one! I also have the same colour as you!

Is there something special you have to do to get the key to roll the windows up and down because I have a 2007 gti and I cant get it to do that. Dose it have to be hot out?

Thanks! Ha! I don’t know the wiper blade trick. I can raise my wiper blades next time I was the car. Also, I have a similar problem with the cars Bluetooth connectivity. If I’m in and out of the car it takes a couple minutes to reconnect to my music on my phone. I turned the volume and it come right on!

cool video, looked really cool the the trees changing colour in the background, keep up the good work.

I just got a GTI and I had no idea about the window thing! I saw it in another one of your videos and I thought it was aftermarket. This was so helpful!

what fn wiper blades work best as the ones with adapter never seen to lock in or stick up too high

So if you change the computer box and use a key that has been chipped or coded for that computer box in another would it start?

Thanks for the tips for the wiper and the windows.

Your Wrong About The Key,It would turn if it was the same, the rfid chip just does the alarm in the door and immobiliser in the ignitionAlso VW would get crucified if they did that !, would mean anyone with a vw key can get in your car and rob whatever they want.

Saw another video about the glove box. He had a switch in his glove box that keeps anything cool as long as the ac is on. Like chocolate bars or soda or anything you don’t want melting when you aren’t ready to eat it or drink it.

what do you think about the Detroit rims that come stock with the 2011 gti

Is the window thing a vagcom mod or does it come with the car?

just got a gti i wouldnt be able to open the hatch without this video😂 i have a mk5 gti and my gf has a mk5 jetta

Didn’t know how to put up Windscreen wiper till now and earlier today I just changed the wipers and accidentally scratched the paint on the bonnet trying to lift the wipers😂

I used to have an E90 3 series, and it was the same with the wipers.

I think the arm rest center console rise up option is pretty cool 😎

Love this channel! You guys got any stickers that you sell to ship to the uk?

I own a MK6 GTI....and not sure if this is true with the MK5s or not. But upon first glance there are no key holes on the exterior of the car. Only until you pry that little cover off that is at the back end of the door handle, using the key (as theres a perfect sized hole that fits your key on the underside), do you see a place to unlock or lock the car using a key only. Perfect for when people ask you how can you unlock your car when your key fob battery dies.

I need to get some foliage shots! Also the Juke has the same wiper thing.

you should make a trip to the wookies in the woods meet in April next year with all the r32s n golf Rs

what size are your rims and tires?

IgnitionTube ahhh gotcha, the wheels on my gti are made by ankio I think. They're from the last owner, but they're pretty good!

VW 3bg/ b5.5 small sunshade on front of dome lights, little slots on the gas cap, pushing in the head light switch to remove, steering wheel light with indicater light, cooler glove box, micro switch puddle lights, turn key in the door for Windows up and down exc.

The cutout in the key is not common to all VW's. You can insert it into another golf but it won't turn, meaning there is a mechanical check besides the transponder communication.

Dhiren Naidoo The mk5 gti remote key is a 2 piece key. I removed the top physical key portion of my friends key and put it together with my remote base and unlocked my car no problem at all. The key cut pattern matched exactly between his key and mine. We put his key back together and tried it in my car and no unlock. You can purchase replacement keyless shells with the physical key included to freshen up a key in bad shape. It does nothing until you put your original keyless internals in it, then it works fine.

my father's GTI has a mode that when it is night and you unlock it the lights automaticaly switch on

as a mk5 jetta owner I agree with most of these quirks, kinda wish I had the same trunk mechanism for my car though as yours eli 😅

I have an MKVII. I'm still saddened that they removed the knob. It was an ingenious design and I'd rather use that method to open/close the sunroof. They switched back to the old sliding switch like all the other boring cars out there! One thing that still irritates me the most is that they removed the hold function that rolls up the windows. I have to get back in the car and switch the ignition on to close all the windows. Car is still under warranty so I'll have to wait before I buy a mod to make it do that. Just ridiculous of VW to delete that. Also, they no longer put headlamp washers. I wanted them badly but the MK VII series doesn't have them at all.

Very nice looking car. Dealer has not been very professional with me. Lock wiring an issue. Clutch has gone on mine. Anti lock brake sensor rusted and blew out in wheel, expensive. Rear hatch wiring breaks and everything stops working in hatch.

What year is your gti?

i have a 2004 Mazda RX-8, if you unplug your battery when you turn on the car your traction control, ABS, and power steering will be off and then you have to put the car on Accessory, turn the steering wheel to the left all the way, then right all the way, then center the steering wheel, take the key out, put the key back in and turn it on, then everything is back to normal

Is $110 dollar for a 'ecs tuning' too expensive? I also own a MKV gti

When you turn off your with your headlights off and turnsignal on your parking light in which direction is turnsignal points to lights up. With other side turned off. Thats quirky

The key going into the different car doesn't mean it's the same key. They should be different cuts, all keys of the same type (Honda, Toyota, even house keys like Kwikset) will go into the same hole, but the pins in the locks are what makes it different. If you compare the groves, you'll find them to be different.

Peugeot 307 has the same wipers thing :D

Ever wonder how you can clean your front lights? Turn car on put the lights on and pull the windshield wipers and your lights get cleaned with soap.
