Passat front control arms, holes out of line?
Last Poster: pandaman in Mk5 General Area on Today at 05:43:30 pm
I’m in the process of a suspension redo. I'#039ve bought Lemforder Passat B6 alloy front control arms. Many posts on here say they are a straight bolt on replacement but I went to put one earlier and one of the smaller subframe bolt holes seemed to be about 5mm out of line.

Re: Help with intake leak code
Last Poster: ZoliWorks in Mk5 General Area on Today at 04:57:02 pm
I'#039m not sure exactly if the 2nd sensor is just a check sensor or if it actually influences the fuel trims in anyway. On the forums I'#039ve heard it'#039s only there to test the cat efficiency and doesnt actually influence fuel trims but one of my mechanic buddies claims it does influence trims.

If it does influence trims, then it needs to be mapped out or spaced out to get r

The condenser is the usual culprit as it's the first to get all the stones and crap thrown at it.


Re: GTI low pressure fuel pump change

Big test this morning as I had not driven the car for two days and it was -1C to add some icing on the cake for a proper cold start.

She started within a split second........has to be the fastest cold cold start in the seven years I have had the car, as usually get several cranks before life, or had to prime the car twice before turning the key.

Very happy, bu

Re: MK5 GTI STAGE 2 QUESTION
Last Poster: ZoliWorks in Mk5 General Area on Yesterday at 12:28:35 am
You dont need to tune for the intake in most cases, unless the diameter around the MAF is bigger/smaller than stock because then the MAF will read wrong and your engine will run like ass. An intake probably wont do much in your situation, other than make things louder and give suction noises but an intercooler might. You'#039d really be pushing the turbo if you want more than 260hp.

Re: What did you and your MKV do today?
Last Poster: ZoliWorks in Mk5 General Area on November 15, 2024, 09:13:08 pm
Decided to allocate some funds to the car again this month and did a suspension refresh. New Lemförder sway bar end links, new Bilstein B4 sport front and rear shocks, Eibach Pro-Kit coils from my old Jetta (7k km on them tops) and new dust/mud guards for the shocks along with new Lemförder strut mounts front and rear.

Damn, I wish Torqbyte had the PM4 when I got the PM3. Or maybe the PM4 '#039was'#039 available and I just didn'#039t know it could do the same as the PM3 but also '#039ELIMINATES'#039 the oem PWM/controller and can run two LPFP'#039s without the need to run the second pump off of the boost.

Edition 30 Rear Valance -Pearl Black (Genuine Part)
£80.00
Location: Manchester
Collection Only

For Sale is my old Pearl Black Edition 30 rear valance. This clips into the upper section of your rear bumper.
This was removed from my golf due someone backing into me at low speed causing surface cracks. (they offered to pay for a new valance)

The surface cracks are around the the number plate area which I've tried to photo the best i can.

The exhaust surround has been bonded back on by the body shop after an encounter with a high kerb a few years ago.

There are storage scratches on the paintwork so will need respraying. You will also need a towing eye cover.

All clips to clip the valance upper bumper section are intact and there is no sign of warping.

This is a genuine valance and was fitted to my ED30 from the factory.
