    Hello everyone, I’ll cut to the chase in case this has already been addressed in another thread. I’m a newish mkv owner, had the car for 7 months now and very recently the time came for my first minor service with the car. Just an oil change and a new filter. Everything was fine up until I...

    Hi all, I recently purchased a mk5 r32 after looking at a few different ones and I’m really happy with it except I get this noise in the attached video after driving, seems to appear for 20 seconds when idling and sometimes when going up hills. Any suggestions to what it could be from the...

    Hey everyone, Recently got my r32 checked out and I have a bad driver front shock. After reading on here some it appears that OEM, like most other parts for us, are no longer available. I was wondering what alternatives you guys are running? It seems that most are saying Bilstein or Sach which...

    TLDR: Looking to turbo my MK5 R32 with the best bang for buck, while maintaining quality. Looking for 500-550hp. Hello everyone, I’ve owned my 2008 R32 for a little now and I’m looking to turbo it, generally keeping boost <=15lbs as I’ll still be daily-ing it. I’ve spent quite bit of time in...

    Hi All My clutch pedal has been sticking to the floor for a while now. Tends to happen when on more spirited drives. But even normal driving there is hardly any bite left. Car is now on 116k (original clutch as have owned the car since 20k miles). I imagine it's false economy at this point to...

    Hi, selling my previous exhaust from my R32. Was on the car for a good few years so isn’t perfect and has some corrosion as you might expect. I have the back box £100, a non res back pipe which is pretty much new £100 and a resonated back pipe £100 which are 2.75 inch (same as a milltek). Or if...

    Ive owned my Grey 3dr Mk 5 R32 Manual for over 4 years now, the longest I've ever owned any other vehicle is 2 years. I love the R32 its only done 79,000 miles and is completely standard, minus lowering springs. I've always planned on keeping the car unless one day I can afford and justify an...

    Hello fellow Mk5 R32 owners! I recently bought a mk5 r32 and Im wandering what tune to get. Wether its flashing it (which I know nothing about), shop tune or getting an ecu tune. I know some stuff about brands like unitronic and united motorsports but I don't know which to go with amongst them...

    Thought I'd take to the ever trusty forum before taking the leap. I've been keeping my eye out for the perfect R32 for about 18months now (on and off) and spotted one that I thought I might take a chance on. I do, however, have a tendancy to jump into car purchasing blind (my only non-logical...

    Edit: I've dropped the price in line with some others I've seen recently. I have a replacement RNS510 on the way so that should be that issue sorted. I'm still willing to negotiate on the price however; I would much rather my car go to someone that will love it as I have rather than to a...

    I'm looking to replace my flywheel on my mk5 R32 as it is causing the driving experience to be sub-par, whenever I start it will lurch forward and if I am on a hill it will roll back and cause it to lurch even harder. The car when it is in park or neutral will make the marbles tinkling against...

    Hello! I noticed that my rpm go up while standing for a few minutes even though the engine is at the operating temperature. For example when stopping at a red light for more than a minute rpm goes up to 1100 as it would do on a cold start. Any idea what could cause that? Thank you! MK5 R32
  16. Welcome to the R32 Owners Club
    Hey everyone, as of a month ago; I've become an owner of an mk5 r32, bought it in the lower 48 and drove it 4000 miles nonstop to Fairbanks, Alaska. Honestly, this may have been a pretty big financial mistake considering that A. I'm a college student B. I have literally the only r32 north of...
