Not an expert but looks more mk7 Golf as mk5 golf and mk2 Octy must be interchangeable as they are the same platform. Hopefully someone will confirm who is more knowledgeable

This is what you pay your membership for, certainly if you want an idea of the issue and fault cleared also. If you don’t have home start go park over a mile away and give them a buzz. Be prepared to wait a few hours sometimes more. VCDS is still likely to be far superior than what AA have. But information is power at least

Also very highly regarded in the VAG scene is http://stealthracing.co.uk in Southam Leamington way. You could also get a breakdown call from AA they have decent tech for codes, if you are a member

Quick google Vasstech Rugby a VAG specialist. Central VW Audi Bham. Both will of course charge for diagnostics no doubt.

I have had this happen repeatedly on my mk2 2005 elegance hatch. I remove all the torx screws to the black trim under the bumper. Reach inside and pop the sensor back in the hole now more proud than the others a little. It’s amazing how much fresh air is behind the actual bumper. I put it down to a poor repair when the rear bumper was repaired post a rear light shunt many many years ago.

Absolute bargain for someone @AnnoyingPentiumyou need another toy ?

@Dempsek I hope your venture into the jap world is enjoyable and trouble free. Perhaps post on here if you are on freedom, location would be good for any fellow Briakodians inc size tread etc?

You just need to dust off your collection of cassettes now Ryan

Remember those xenon lights were the bendy beam ones which spread the light at a width, speed dependent and also turned around corners. All these things contributed to how good you found them, cornering fogs also add more light on the mk2. @Graham Butcher

Name change makes sense I stayed until the prizes and won a polo shirt which I had to collect at the end. I was also in my Superb Estate in blue. Maybe catch up next time.

@SE20TD Didnt realise you were there I am pretty sure I remember your old brisky handle and saw you at a brisky meet maybe Rockingham 2015? My first vRS fab then. Your silver one was pretty caked up the whole rear hatch bumper. Following your SE thread. I have a soft spot for them, even though I got myself a new to me 2005 silver one again.

You should have a cover clipped on top. Are you saying you don’t ?

It’s the air intake from outside the car. Air goes from there via the air box to the engine.

Raffle and prizes now think people will head off soon.

Here until 4pm. I appear to be the first to post this on the forum. Saw it on Facebook so coped the flyer onto here.

Said hello to @FatWolfie

I have made it, sun has finally come out. Say hello if you see me, in the blue Superb estate

That’s some commitment Ryan 👍

I do remember watching some of your videos on BOF on yertube channel

Wasn’t the LE only made in 2009 for the mark 2 hatch and estate ?

I can only say what it says in my screenshot off Facebook. £15 payable on entrance all money to charity. Auto Jumble sale £10 bookable in advance. The Skoda owners club site has the same info I believe, very basic. There are the competitions mentioned and a raffle

Is there a thread open for this I did a search and could not find one. Anyone attending ?

I found this guide useful https://andrewhope.co.uk/automotive/techdocs/golfmk5-handbrake-cables.html

Plus one for DSG stat comes up regularly on forum.
