r/GolfMk5

I don’t know if anyone can possibly help me!
So basically I’ve had my car for over a year now was amazing at the start and eventually had issues. Power loss sometimes my car would drive as if it was in limp
Mode but no engine light what’s so ever. The only code I’ve ever had is an open circuit for the fans.
The things I’ve replaced engine wise
Coil packs
Spark plugs
Battery
New cat connecting to the manifold.
Currently need new engine mounts as I’m able to rock my engine by hand getting that fixed tomorrow.
Other than that my car is amazing for its age and high mileage as it’s on 160k slight wheel wobble but apparently that might be due to my alloys 🤷🏼‍♀️
I’m going insane because I’ve been chasing this problem for the last 4 months
Also has anyone else had the issues of soon as the car is on the fans kick off straight away

Hey everyone,

We've been working on an engine bay panel cover for the MK5 platform (Golf, Jetta, GTI, R32 - 2005–2010) and wanted to share it here since this community knows these cars better than anyone.

The idea came from how many MK5 owners spend hours detailing the engine bay, only to have that gap between the components look unfinished. This panel bolts on with an included mounting bracket - no drilling, no modding the harness or anything, just a clean install in a few minutes.

Specs:

• ABS plastic, 3 mm thick - sturdy but light, holds up to engine bay heat
• Comes with the mounting bracket included
• Fits Golf MK5, Jetta MK5, GTI MK5, and R32

We built this because we couldn't find anything like it readily available - most of what's out there is hard to source.
