Re: Cam adjuster/phaser wear - ALL DONE ✔️

Just to close this off for people.
It seems that the duty cycle (group 91, block 2) controls the oil flow in the solenoid to keep the timing in check
less than 50% retards timing
more than 50% advances
50% locks the timing without adjustment
So a good result for me here.

Glad to hear, thanks for both of your input.
Yeah I'#039ve heard that the solid dogbone ads a lot of NVH, that'#039s why I'#039ve put it as a last resort solution.
I'#039ve researched a bit about the B4s before doing this post and most conclusions came down to it being more comfortable than b8 since b8 is harder. But as a sports suspension, b8 is much better. One video c

Re: anyone test driven a mk7 golf R

I had the chance to drive both a stock and modded Mk7 Golf R, and yeah, it’s a noticeable upgrade from the Mk5. Even stock, the Mk7 feels more refined and quicker off the line. Once tuned, it’s a whole different beast—handles better, more responsive, and the power delivery is smoother. I was actually in a similar spot, thinking about the change, and ended up shipping my Mk7 across
Re: MK5 Gti Genuine Floor Mats Help?????
Last Poster: Octoparrot in Mk5 General Area on October 25, 2024, 09:56:04 am
They'#039re Genuine VW, I don'#039t know if cars came with them of the showroom floor, I expect not as German car manufacturers don'#039t give much for free. Also there are 2 types of mat fixings oval or round so get the correct type for your car.
A word of warning though, I'#039ve had 2 sets of these mats and while they'#039re great quality I found I wore a hole in the drivers mat whe

Re: 8P S3 console bushes and B6 Passat wishbones: tight!
Last Poster: dennis10 in Mk5 General Area on October 23, 2024, 10:41:35 am
Just get the Passat B6 ones as they'#039ll be cheaper. Get the Passat alloy knuckles as well. Slightly different tie rod angle so the steering response sharpens up a bit too, not to mention an unsprung weight reduction.
I ended up buying the wishbones and s3 bushes/consoles in
Re: What did you and your MKV do today?
Last Poster: ZoliWorks in Mk5 General Area on October 22, 2024, 09:39:42 pm
Following up on the previous post, put the car back together. Ended up not painting the bumper. I'#039d rather do it when it'#039s hot outside. Melted some plastic to fill the cracks and glue the ruptured parts together.
Replaced the bent fender support. Fortunately the headlight was untouched.
While at it, also replaced both bumper supports cause the old ones were cheap knocko

I am guessing about 2007 they made the change, but depends I suppose on the build date of the engine as seen 2007 S3's and even a 2012 Mk6 R with grooved adjusters. VWG make a lot of engines so some may have sat before being put in a car and missed the update.
VW can be hit and miss sometimes.
