Golf V GTi drivers

Now here is something cool I found maybe you guys Know it already..... switch off ur climate control, push econo and the button for air to blow upward simultaneously..... then the left climate control knob set it to 19 and you now have a digital speedo on the right lcd screen of the climate control (true speed btw)... now to figure out the rest of the settings....

Yup, knew about this.. pretty cool ...
After you go over 100KPH, the figures go wonky tho...

Yeah i've tried that out and it works quite well. Other "channels" (not too sure exactly what number they are) show engine temp, exterior temp, speed in MPH a whole bunch of other info....Here's some interesting sites with more secrets:

which BBS wheel ?

BBS CH or CH BE for that price but I like the CV Most. I dont know if 18" will suffice or i need 19"

The CH looks just ok in 18's , 19" will do the trick, but only if you lowered (i think you are right ? ).

Got hold of the guy from CT who bought the Helios, he said his friend at VW organised it for him, and he can get for you guys too. I'll request a price.

Not sure right now, maybe i'll look at a 330 or something in that range.

I definately dont want a Cupra, they are very ugly cars imo

Yeah it seems to be a mix of the IV & V . People are already dubbing it the Golf V facelift....

Anyone know what is needed to upgrade to XENON Lights on the GTI from VW? Is it even possible? I imaging its just the bulbs..??

I dont think VW will do it for you, did you ask them ?

Its about the wiring , ballasts and lastly the lamps/bulbs. BUT as i said, i dont htink they will do it AND aftermarket is nothing like OEM.

BTW, its not called 'xenon' headlights, its called 'HID' headlights

 

[Awesum]

It can be done.
Speak to Morne At Hatfield.

 

[Awesum]

Xenon and HID (High Intensity Discharge Lamps) are the same thing.

We all know it can be done, but WILL it be done, lets see ...
