    VW give a 12 year corrosion warranty, if you can demonstrate the rust is 'through rust' and is rusting from the inside out, they will replace the body panels for free. I had both front wings replaced a couple years ago with genuine VW OEM wings, painted to match the colour of the vehicle, all I paid for was the doors to be 'blended in' to the new wings. Think it cost me around £50... The issue with the Mk5 wings, is that there is a foam type pad on the inside of the wings, i think for sound dampening purposes, as this gets dirty and wet from water and spray from driving, it holds the moisture and rusts the metal from the inside out.

    worth noting (as i found out recently), that the original paint needs to be untouched, ie no previous repair, otherwise VW can refuse. Ended up googling and getting a pair of colour matched, insurance approved wings for £180 total from Lothian Autoparts, quality is top notch, cannot recommend high enough! A relatively simple bolt on job at home.

    @@chrise202 Absolutely not, I was the 3rd owner of my Mk5 golf. Upon inspection, they will check the paint depth, and if it is clear the panels which are experiencing through rust, have been painted already, they won't do anything for you. However, if the paint depth is as it should be, and the car has not been painted independently of the dealer, they are obligated to replace any body panels suffering from through rust by VW's 12 corrosion warranty. They generally make money from it anyway as they carry out the work - paint panels, fit them - and then bill VW for the work.

    I have a red 2006 2-door that's just about to roll over 200K. I have to say the car has held up phenomenally well, imo. No rust for me in Maryland. Main issues in 200K miles have been: failed fuel pump cam follower at 130K miles, failed turbo at 115K miles, failed oil filter flange gasket beginning at 175K miles, airbag light due to loose connection under passenger seat, one failed wheel bearing, failed front swaybar end links, headliner starting to sag, one failed HID bulb, and (lol) failed hood strut. That's really it. Everything else has been maintenance. Especially amazing to me is that the DSG still shifts like new and is on original clutch packs. You treat these cars well and they will last. I even pulled the oil pan off a little bit back and found rod play to be well within spec, no play in balance shafts. Compression still checks out at nearly 180psi. Like, I see no reason why the car won't go another 100K miles tbh

    the lack of power is from the faulty maf sensor, my vw had a similar problem and it got worse and worse where there would be so little power from 2-3k after that it was normal, i replaced it and the problem fixed, also check the catalytic converter

    Mrsorou1 im going to be honest buddy, it was extremely cheap I bought a maf sensor online for around 10-12£ and replaced it my self. It’s quite simple I wouldn’t recommend going to a mechanic since they would charge you labour but I would say do some searching online and watch you tube videos on how to fit the sensor on if you get stuck.

    Calipers came stock from the factory. It's called signal red. Also that cam follower is not happy anyone that knows G5 golf's you can tell from all the D.I motors across the Vag cars. Is it a BWE ? I wouldnt be surprised if it has a chocolate camshaft aka rev A especially being a earlier model. Dont forget the timing chain and cam belt sometimes overlooked particularly chain and tensioner. Look forward to seeing the results.

    Gtis came with AXX or BWA, AXX being the earlier model which had issues with the cam follower/lobe wearing faster. This one's BWA (56 onwards) so more than likely has a rev b cam, although follower should still be changed for deffo

    Just letting you know we all mk5 gti have. 11 year extended rust warranty on it, also you do not need to be the first owner go to your local Volkswagen dealership and ask when your car was purchased, for example my car was purchased in 2008 04/09 so the rust coverage is until 2019 04/09
