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 :: 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.

Notice a rattle when they close their trunk?
My top screws are plenty tight, but the bottom portion seems to not be secure enough since they do not have screws.

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 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 :: 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.
Golf/GTI VI :: License Plate Bulb Out Error With Stock Bulbs?
I have an intermittent error that comes on most of the time I have my headlights on, but sometimes goes off and comes back while I am driving. It shows me the bulb out light, and says on the screen "Number plate Check license plate lighting!" I have never touched the oem factory bulbs on the license plates, and if i get out and look at the plate, both lights are on over the plate.
The only change I have made was about a year ago, I installed an LED bulb in the trunk, and ran a second OEM trunk light in the left side and installed an LED bulb in that too, tee'd off the factory trunk light housing. But like I said, that was 1 year and 30,000 miles ago, and my bulb our error for the license plate has only just started, so I doubt they are related.
Golf/GTI VI :: Harder To Select Gears - Slave Cylinder Or Pressure Plate?
I have 2012 VW GTI manual with 34k miles and on the freeway I noticed that it's becoming harder and harder to select gears. Few minutes later and by the time I got off the freeway, at the light I couldn't engage 1st gear, nor 2nd, somehow managed the 3rd and brought it home. So if the car is on, I cannot engage gears, if I try the first I can feel some forward motion, like it's trying to engage. If I turn of the car, I can shift through all the gears. I have noticed before this happened that the clutch feel is very soft and spongy and my gear shifter had a lot of loose play. Since I can shift when the car is off, I don't think the problem is worn shifter bearing. Clutch never slipped and I could turn of the car engage 1st or 2nd gear, start it with depressed clutch and go normally so I think the clutch disk is fine.
I am out of 3 year 36k miles, but still have the powertrain warranty. Dealer told me that if it's the pressure plate (most likely) then I would be out of warranty but if it was slave cylinder then I would be covered. I don't want to take a tow truck just for them to tell me that it's definetly the pressure plate, what do you think???
Golf/GTI VI :: Foot Well / License Plate LEDs Throwing Error Codes?
Any LED I can throw in the footwells / license plate area that won't throw a code? I'm using the ones from superbrightleds.
They worked everywhere except the license plate and the footwells. Everytime I get in my car I have to see (check license plate lights!) and a bulb out icon.

View 2 RepliesGolf V R32 :: Rattle Only When Window Is Up 100%
Had the mechatronics recall completed and at the same time i thought i'd fix a few other things. one is the rattling sound inside the driver's side door when the window is closed 100%. it sounds as if the window regulator is loose and moves around only when the window is up and i go over some uneven pavement. when i open the window even 1/4 of an inch, sound is gone.
The stealership tech "tested the situation and confirms" that i need a new B-PILLAR to remedy the situation. What the heck a B-PILLAR is? This particular part had to be ordered; so, i have to go back one more time. i'll keep you posted as i know more than one person had this particular noise.
With regards to the mechatronics replacement, I really don't notice a big difference. I didn't have any apparent symptoms of a bad unit, but I thought, I better have the work done before the warranty was up. I'll try driving the car a bit harder to see if i can feel a difference.
Golf/GTI VI :: B-Pillar Rattle In Particular
