How did you get that sort of milage? Downhill in gear with 0 throttle? Tow?
Probably PSU on it's way out...or it could be overheating. or RAM.
It may also not give a blue screen for the above errors.
Download speedfan. Check that all of the internal fans (specifically the CPU fan) is free from dust and that there is no dust buildup in the heatsink which basically would act like a blanket. Even though you may clean your case many people don't bother checking inbetween the fins on the heatsink..
Since it happens under load from your description, it's worth downloading memtest86 and leaving that on overnight. If it crashes or bluescreens then chances are it's the RAM.

THEY ARRIVED.
yeah that is me as well.
also got some eibach springs. everything's getting fitted monday.
Hmmm
The Mk5 is, as the advert says, priced for quick sale. I was talking generally, based on averages. 150,000 miles is not average. I stand by my pricing of a 1.6 FSI SE.
You may get him to £3,500 but if you think you could get him to £3,000 then you're as full of hot air as the fart I just produced (but without the smell hopefully).
If you're willing to bet £100....?
That Mk4 advert seems a bit dodgy to me. That car is overly cheap, smells of a ringer. Combined with an advert age of 16 days (a long time for such a 'bargain', a seller called Ali Baba and "lady owner" probably would put me off.
@Colleus
So because a car isn't expensive, it's a chavs car?
You can be of high intelligence but on a low income, many graduates here are unable to get a job in their chosen field, likewise you can have a complete idiot on £50,000 a year so you don't know what a chav is, unfortunately. :sadbanana
Mk5 Golfs here start (for a 1.6 with steel wheels and nothing inside apart from some seats) for £3250 which is about 3600 euros? Mk4s for about...£1750? Mk3s for £1000 and Mk2s for about £750..
Most of the auctual chavs (Ie those people in shell suits who have no desire to work, or no drive to learn a skill or trade, who sit around all day spending what income support money they get on booze or drugs) watching Jeremy Kyle, can only afford 1/10th of that for a car. They all have Peugot 106s and Hyundais. Thus a Golf is not a chavs car.

Sorry was very busy yesterday didn't get home from work till 11pm!!
Golfs are not cheap, they were one of the most expensive cars in their class (more than Focuses, Peugot 307s etc), only one that's really comprable is the 1 Series and the A3 in terms of price. So because in your country, a car just happens to be popular in the modification scene, that makes it a chav? Do you even know what a chav is?
Because I want it to??????????????????? Because there are a million other Golfs which look like mine and I'd like to personalise it!?
I'm not pretending it's any faster, then again it's not a "cheap" car so I don't need to make it look more expensive. It's not a Citroen Saxo or somecrap...
To be honest my car is quick enough to keep up with a GTI till about 80mph and then the extra BHP of the GTI would pull out a slight gap but that's beyond the point, I've not added spoilers or doine anything outwardly detrimental to the cars appearance (apart from under the bonnet but that's my visions anyway).
You can't make a diesel sound like a fart can, but I am decatting it to give a more whoosy sound and help turbo spool up (reportedly but I'm going more for the noise), I drive sensibly especially considering my age.
Good?
Because your friend obviously likes his car (whether he still does or if was just a phase is irrelevant, at the time he felt it was worth it). People don't modify them to make them look "faster", just more personal and individual to them.
So you choose luxuries, I choose my car? I don't need any other luxuries, we have Sky TV, Broadband, big TV...there's nothing else I really want/need.
Right so in terms of my plans what exactly is extreme about it? Or cheap for that matter..
So you're a hypocrite....you don't like the look of a Golf GTI unless it's actually a Golf GTI? You wouldn't be able to tell the difference unless you heard it was a diesel or saw the interior and the lack of a flat bottomed steering wheel...
Which is your opinion, fair enough...
Money spent elsewhere? It cost me £0.00 - Hairdrier and a Blockbuster card to get the letters off....some old Tcut to remove the residue of the glue.
He/I/we know that our cars aren't really GTIs or whatever...we just like them LOOKING like one.
Then he's lived and learnt?
The same parts they fit on at the factory, just on a different "spec" of the same car.
Here it's not so much, mostly because people buy them for Economy purposes and to them they're just another tool, nothing more than a car.
oh okay
Hmm, useless to who? Going out and getting drunk every weekend, spending hundreds of pounds a month on nightclubs and booze only to piss it all away and have nothing to show for it? That's useless, but having spent it on something you are proud of, something you've taken from just a car to your car, being able to see and visualise your money taking shape, that's not useless - at least not to me.
Let's make out!

Lmao at the guy who came onto TS with his "so you want to buy DVD, shrek one two or three" with the trololol music.

The GTI is the peak of Volkswagens engineering know-how to create a fast, good handling hatchback which can genuinly be used every day, with superior build quality and good amounts of power and torque. It's regarded as one of the best hot hatches, if you won't take my word take Mr Clarksons, WhatCar, Autocar, EVOMagazine, CAR, and Top Gear Magazine.
I make no bones about it, I cannot afford a GTI. Then again, I wouldn't buy one if I could. I would buy a 2.0TDI and make that into a GTI, because a 2.0TDI chipped is quicker than a GTI. Plus you have to think about MPG and what not...even giving it a good blast I still managed 500 miles to a tank which is about 48.5 MPG.
I am 20,with a house to run and bills to pay. I do not live at home with mummy and daddy...on £15,000 a year. What do you expect? I literally just have enough to keep afloat, and while I get a little help from my Mum, that's much more for food and £20/£30 here and there, rather than months of bills paid for me - so a "nicer" car as you so eloquently put it is simply not an option. (just exactly what is not "nice" about a Golf anyway...:really
It's not comparble to a MR2 (which is what I think you're referring to) to Ferrari conversion because those are horrible and tacky, in general. Some are very nice but aren't my cup of tea.
That's the look I'm going for at the front end. Exactly what is wrong with that, other than your obvious hatred for modification in any way, or/and of me?
There are several things to remember. Firstly, if you start with a Mk3 you're never going to end up with a Sportscar.
However, if your friend was happy with it, what is your problem? If you have a problem with a fat person, for example, do you go up to their face (or type angrily behind your keyboard) saying how if only they did "this" or "that" they would have "this" or "that"?
Sure if you buy a car for £5000, and over 3 years spend another £5000 in total on modifying it, then technically yes, you could have bought another car. But most of us only have a couple of hundred pounds left over after each paycheck (personally I have less than that but I digress) - We can get little bits and pieces here and there but lack the outright funds to make huge payments.
I like my Mk5, they are a bit common so I want to make it personal. If I buy a "proper car" (what's not proper about a Golf, whether it's a Mk3, Mk4 or Mk5? They have 4 wheels, an engine and some seats, thus they are as much of a car as any Ferrari or Porsche), then I will have simply purchased another white good. Another box on wheels.
You're from Switzerland, amiright? Where it's illegal to do anything to your car, you're not allowed to lower it, or modify it..or even change the exhaust.
As for running costs (Morpha), it costs £120 a year to Tax (which is £60 less than my friends 1.2 Vauxhall Corsa), does 60mpg on a cruise (about 40% more than my friends 1.2 Corsa), only the service intervals of 10,000 miles (oil and filter) push running costs up, but then again oil and filter is £80 from an independant dealer. It's easy on tyres and brakes so it's actually a very "sensible" car. *just using a 1.2 Corsa as an example as that's what most young people tend to get as a first car*
Insurance is alot for me but that's more to do with the fact I'm paying monthly (thus had to phone up and thus lost my "online" discount), otherwise it would have been cheaper than my old 1.4 Corsa.
You're comparing insurance costs on their Mk5 TDI to your Supra, but you likely take no consideration on price, location (even a few streets away can be a big difference in price), previous driving history, ages, etc. And because they're sharing a car (presumably) they have 2 drivers on one policy which often raises the price again. My GLOF was one of the cheapest cars to insure for me (cheaper than Fiestas, Polos, Saxos, Corsas, etc) hence why I got it.
If you think that making a regular Golf look like a GTI, a little more individual, when it's nearly as fast as a GTI right now (thanks to the remap) and soon to be faster (Stage 2 turbo), then really what is your objection?
Oh well, what's having a debate going to acomplish, because I fear that people are too narrow minded. :sadbanana

It was taken out I think, because it was deemed something that wasn't changeable in a real life car (but that brings about the idea of spacers and what not but hey it's not my baby)
Ironic..
Yeah bruv init I am getting lyke wide arch kit n neonz n hydraulics n shit.
No. My engine was fixed (it was a fuel temp sensor so cost £21) and it's very uncommon to see a detailed engine bay so I thought I'd do something. If it's that important the covers are about £50 from VW and can easily be had for £30 for a complete set on ebay soo if it's that much of a problem I will simply buy standard ones.
I am slowly making it my own. Nothing I'm going to do to it will alter the bodywork aside from the GTI bumpers and skirts...so by calling that chav you will be calling a GTI chav? :O That's a connundrum! Whether anyone else likes or dislikes what I do is largely irrelevant (that's a big grey thing with a trunk), but I like peoples feedback. However, nothing anyone has said is constructive...which is a shame!
Eitherway, I'm really proud of what I've done. Turned out really good.
FTR I paid less for my Corsa than I would have for a standard one...probably because of the mods. I didn't like that car very much, we all make mistakes but oh well.
Nice there Mr Doyal. Gonna look lovely and shinyy
Yeah I lost about 30bhp because the weight of the paint and laquer...also handles badly because of the extra weight up front.
oh this is just another case of namby pamby agencies saying everything is banned.
As you can see... :-)
Also T-cutted, polished, waxed and finishing sealant on the paintwork. Probably spent about 8 hours in total between painting and detailing.
Very happy
