Golf V R32 :: How To Mount Front Plate In Holeless Grill In A 2 Plate State
For those people who received a holeless grill in a 2 plate state how did you mount your front plate. I am supposed to have the holeless grill installed this Wednesday. I was thinking about using zip ties and mount it underneath it's original location but I am afraid that I will be blocking the radiator. I could do it by the side grill.

Looking for a detailed SAI delete?
I see all the hoses and vacuum lines and I guess I'm unsure what lines to remove and which to keep.
I see the black box under the manifold has a vacuum line that goes to the flapper on the intake manifold I still want that functional.
Golf/GTI VII :: How To Adjust The Gear Selector
Got my car back from the dealership today, new DSG in, but already have it on jack stands trying to figure out how to adjust the gear selector. Feels sloppy going from park to reverse. When in reverse, it very easily slips into neutral. If you hold down the lock button on the shifter and go from P to S and then back, there is very little resistance between the different positions.
I see what I think is the shifter cable under the car below the turbo area coming through the firewall, but how to adjust this on a DSG.

I am running fk coils, and for some reason the front driver side camber is -1.2 and it won't adjust at all. The passenger side is -2.2 and won't adjust. I was told that the the R's oem camber can be adjusted up to -1.7.
I have no camber kits on the car. I told my Mechanic why the camber doesn't adjust. He told me that he over looked everything and that he didnt see anything wrong.
I had my front shocks replaced because they were blown. It bothers me how one side has -1 more camber than the other side. I am thinking about buying camber kit because of this problem I'm having.

Anyone know where I can find a plate less grill called VW and they want $847.00 and ECS wants $690.00, Urotuning has a good price $300.00 but only comes in chrome or black, looking for the same color silver. Just bough my car couple of weeks ago and noticed the grill is cracked in three spots and I cant stand the holes. If anyone knows a good place please let me know.

Golf/GTI VI :: License Plate Bulbs Don't Work - Fix?
So I took my GTI in for my 10k service and to have them fix the wastegate rattle and the subframe shifting. They fixed the wastegate by installing the clip but didn't have the shims in stock for the subframe so I need to go back anyway, but I'd really like to fix my license plate lights before then.
Is there a possibility the tech could have accidentally unplugged a cable for the lights when he was rotating the tires or messing with the wastegate, etc? Maybe a blown fuse? I'm running LEDs and I already tried putting the incandescent bulbs back in but they don't work either.
Golf IV / Jetta IV :: Engine Skips When Adjust The Steering Column
I picked up a golf mk4 with low miles on it and have been working out the bugs - so far I changed out the dreaded power steering rack starter crank position sensor - dam theses cars are tough to work on but I actually enjoy it and could not have been successful without vwvortexx guiding me through- got a ton of suspension parts waiting for me to put in but I have this problem that's dogging me - searched like crazy couldn't find anything ...
When I adjust the steering column the engine "skips" and when I push the wheel in and out (as opposed to up and down) I can actually get the engine to cut out completely. (I should also mention that according to dealership receipts the PRNDL switch has been replaced along with repairs of wiring harness)...

Golf V R32 :: Annoying VIN Plate Rattle Around Dashboard Area
Noticed this shortly after taking delivery but now it's become worse. When I'm under hard throttle or on really grainy/old paved roads I can hear this rattle like there is no tomorrow. At first, I thought it was something plastic behind the speedo and I tried pressing/tapping and praying for this to go away haha.
I've come to realize it's coming from the dashboard where the VIN plate is attached.
Golf V R32 :: License Plate LEDs Went Haywire - Dim Light
I ordered an LED interior package from Deautokey and they also came with license plate LEDs. The interior looks great, the license plates looked great except for one thing, the right side was slightly yellower than the left. So I contacted Deautokey and they sent me two new ones:
These are identical to the original LEDs except in the old ones the squares are arranged in a diamond pattern but I don't think that matters.
Tonight, I was replacing the right side LED hoping that replacing one is all I had to do to match colors but in order to see better I kept the plate lights on. Well when I went to pull out the housing I forgot that they were still on and pulled it out anyways, there may have been a noise when that happened but I forgot.
I put the new one in, turned the plate lights back on and found that it was dim, I rotated it and same look. I tried the second replacement, equally dim, so I thought "okay, I'll just give up and put the old ones in." Did that and they are now these ones became dim!
What happened!? Did pulling it out while it was still on (only did it that first time BTW) mess something up? Did the new ones being in there mess something up? There is no warning light or message in my instrument cluster.
Golf/GTI VI :: Getting License Plate Lighting Short Error?
I have vagcom and led bulbs in my gti. I turned off the plate light monitoring erased the code and get errors for plate lighting short and the 2 bulb errors. When I put the stock bulbs back I still get plate lighting short error on vagcom but no bulb warnings, why that's happening even though all the lights turn on and function fine?

View 1 RepliesGolf IV / Jetta IV :: Passenger Side Mirror Won't Adjust When Shifting Into Reverse
I have a 2000 Jetta GLX VR6, automatic, that I have been going over for my son. The passenger side mirror doesn't adjust when I shift into reverse. I moved up,(towards the top of the housing) a little. Shifted to park and then back to reverse and it moved up again and doesn't return. I have changed the mirror switch, the mirror motors, and have dis-connected all the electrical plugs on the transmission. I figured the plugs needed to be plugged and re-plugged to clean the terminals, but no luck. Is there a switch or sensor that needs to be replaced on the transmission? All the fuses are good. What needs to be done?
View 5 RepliesGolf IV / Jetta IV :: License Plate Light Aren't Working
So, I was attempting to install license plate lights rather impatiently in a parking lot the other night at my weekly meet. I pulled out the factory lights, put in the LEDs, reconnected them, turned them on and all systems were go. I shut the lights off and at that point went and screwed the license plate light housings back into place and went and turned the lights on again, and they were not working, at all. I then decided to reinstall the stock bulbs and check it out, and they were not working at all either. So I haven't gotten to dig too much on this at all, but the headlights and taillights still work so I know it isn't the switch.
Plans for Tomorrow: Pull the light housings back out, take photos of everything, make sure all electrical connections are clean and looking good, and then try to get to the bottom of it.
