    Firstly, hello everyone! I'm new to the forum

    I have a 2004 MK5 golf GT TDi. The problem I'm having is that the CD player ( Standard CD Player ) works fine on short journeys but my work is almost 2 hours drive for me each day and I have noticed that after approx 30 mins - 60 mins of driving, I will try to change the CD and the one ejected will be seriously hot to the touch. I then try to put in another CD and it just keeps spitting it back out and says ' Error '... The CD player works fine as soon as the car has been standing for a while and has cooled down.

    I thought this may be a common problem but after google searching various forums, I don't believe that it is that common after all! I'm guessing it has something to do with the heater matrix/controls being directly underneath the CD player but surely VW wouldn't make a silly mistake like this??

    Does anyone know of a fix to this problem?

    I have been looking at various double din stereos on ebay etc but to be honest, I would rather keep everything standard with the original stereo that's already in.

    Any ideas, help or advice would be greatly appreciated!

    Thanks all!

    Yes they do that as they get old, I am the same.... Remember that fitting a non genuine head unit on a Golf 5 opens a CAN of worms, made even worse by your car probably having the pre 2008 CAN BUS.

    Ah I see.. Thanks for the reply Crasher! I guess buying another original cd player off ebay will probably just have the same faults then. I did watch a youtube vid on replacing the head unit with a new other branded make but it looks like a bloody nightmare to swap over so I think I might just put up with it rather than cause myself more problems!

    The nice fix is the VAG specific Kenwood unit but it is £1k.
