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.

Oh that's good haha. I was planning on doing the wheel arches and as much of the floor as possible. Are the doors a problem area for rust?


Pcv valve . Misfire
Last Poster: oak_grun in How to Guides / Troubleshooting on October 27, 2024, 03:19:40 pm
Hi all,  ed30 has developed a misfire.
With car running, a disconnected pcv hose on inlet causes it to stall.
Does this point towards a knackered pcv valve?
Thanks

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
Last Poster: BarryArrow in Mk5 General Area on October 25, 2024, 04:35:36 pm
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

Unfortunately brake pressure sensor fault requires an ABS pump replacement.

You may be able to get the unit repaired at an ECU testing company.

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

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.
