Camshaft Phase position help

Hi all, i know these types of questions are posted alot. But im somewhat confused about my timing chain. Its a 08 BWA with 130k original chain from what i assume. The chain sounds awful on cold start (sometimes) and the engine is more noisy than id like when fully up to temp. Yet when checked on vcds block 91 is 28.0kw b1 (spec) and 28.0kw b1 (act) and my phase position is +2.0kw b

I’ve recently picked up some mirrors and installed them on my mk5 gti and also installed the door modules that came with them. The part numbers for the door modules are 1k0959793K for driver side and 1k0959792K for passenger side. When I put it all together the driver door went completely dead and only the new folding mirror switch I bought and the lock and unlock button have an il

I’ve had the same symptoms as you twice (although not the not starting bit).
Both times I’ve had petrol leaking from the HPFP into the engine.
First time it was the OEM seal that the piston runs in after upgrading to the Autotech piston and the second time it was the aftermarket seal on the part that houses the seal that the piston runs in (Integrated Engineering).

They are still loud even with the ED30/S3 DV placement, as I relocated/plumbed my DV off the turbo to the ED30/S3 location to stop the heat soak that damages them and for much easier DV checks. With also being the other side of 40  I sold it all and went back to original, even after the enclosed BMC CDA unit. Each to their own

GOLF MK5 GTI knocking noise on idle
Last Poster: gmazjunior in Mk5 General Area on May 25, 2025, 08:45:23 am
Hello everyone,
Got a MK5 GTI. Firstly, my block 93 was at -7. Then I replaced the chain and chain tensioner with oil contorl rings and the VVT solenoid. A few months later, my block 93 was at -6. Then I replaced only my VVT phaser and everything was good except I had a knocking noise on idle when the car is hot but not every time and the noise usually would usually go away wi

Hey Interlagos Plaid Family,
o7'#039 GTI, I have a case to solve with the STEERING COLUMN. The turn signal stock, wiper stock, horn, and STEERING WHEEL BUTTONS do not work.

Re: Mk5 Edition 30 Heated Seat
Last Poster: GTXcess in Mk5 General Area on May 19, 2025, 01:40:13 pm
I’ve just picked up some Ed30 heated seats for my car which didn’t have them from factory. Reading the last reply is there any reason not to get seat looms and panel from a breaker rather than kufatec type?
