I'#039ve heard that a few times, yeah. Quick dig through the forums, they own Ridex and one other brand and they will occasionally swap out whatever you order with those parts, claiming the part you ordered isn'#039t available, even tho their website says it is. They also dont notify you of this apparently.
Well anyway, I'#039m in luck. 1K0919051DB comes back as a valid pa

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.

OIL LEAK help! Turbo covered in oil
Last Poster: Saaim124 in Mk5 General Area on November 13, 2024, 01:40:45 pm
Below you can see I have an oil leak? Any ideas where anyone thinks it’s coming from drops down all the way to the bottom and leaks. I’ve added as many pics from areas surrounding the turbo.
ADVICE NEEDED! OIL LEAK?, turbo covered in oil, pics below. Help needed

Hi everyone
I’ve got a mk5 gti 07 plate and I’ve noticed I’ve got an oil leak as there’s little puddles under my car. I’ve narrowed the leak down to someone where near the turbo not sure if it’s the actual turbo leaking or something else. Ive added some pics below and any help would be nice.
Pretty sure it’s not the cover gasket that’s leaking.

Hey, at least you have a lead now. Replacing the windshield wipers on these cars is a pain but if you wanna see real pain, try doing it on an Audi A4 B7. You either remove the ecu and it'#039s case or you have a friend bend it and pray to god it doesnt break since it'#039s a 20 year old plastic. You need to wiggle that sh*t around for at least 30 minutes to take it out but funny enough,
Re: Complete loss of fuel pressure after spirited driving
Last Poster: ZoliWorks in Mk5 General Area on November 09, 2024, 08:06:32 pm
Funny thing, forgot to mention. After turning the car off and letting it sit, I can hear droplets noise coming from the fuel tank, as if fuel would be trickling back. Mostly notable after medium to hard driving. My money is on the pump being the culprit cause I'#039ve heard it having issues. Been meaning to replace it since half a year ago but always found something more "quotimportant"quot

Whose map is it? For 260-280bhp it should have a stage 2 map that usually codes out the lambda light. A vcds scan should tell you the issue.
Also be aware that the car will fail a MOT if it has a decat.

Could be the subframe bolts are bent\loose causing a shift
I had the same issue, I replaced the two upper engine mounts (lemforder) plus the new revised dog bone mount (VW) and powerflex inserts in the top 2 and 034motorsport inserts (upper and lower inserts) in the lower mount.
It made a bit of difference but nothing amazing. I then had fitted the 034motorspo
