Mk5 GTI Subframe spacer plates in stock!

Post by Rabbit222 »

The cure for the knocking subframe

The subframe knock issue is common amongst the Golf and Jetta MKV and the Passat B6. If you have taken your vehicle to the dealership but they have not been able to solve the problem, here is your solution.

These bolts and spacers replace the stock bolts that connect your subframe. Over time, the stock bolts stretch and allow slop in the front subframe. Replacing your stock units with identical replacements will only delay the issue and it will reappear after the replacements stretch. Use these replacement bolts to tighten everything in the front end back up.

Some individuals think that because the stock bolts are designed to break in a front end collision, they should not be replaced. However, Volkswagen of America has since put out a technical service bulletin to dispell these rumours and replace stock bolts with these units.

Are these the 18mm bolts that attach the subframe to the chassis?

The ones that were loose during the track day and caused the clonking in the bowl and me to nearly sh!t myself?

Count yourself lucky. For ages I couldn't figure out what caused the noise for me. I only ever hear it reversing out of my driveway :bang:

No not at all, I just find it strange that it seems A LOT of mk5's have this but mine don't.
Is it a rattle or a clunk noise? From that thread you posted it seems it's a clunk beneath your feet.

Common issue on the 9nx TDI's. If I recall you will need to replace the bushes as they are probably shot

These apply to the Mk5 as the topic states. I'm not sure if the Mk6 and 5 use the same subframe bolts and spacer plates.
