It's not something I would have thought about doing but it's definitely going to be on my to do list now.

Re: Unknown coolant pipe
Last Poster: Octoparrot in How to Guides / Troubleshooting on Yesterday at 08:05:36 pm

That's number on the connector isn't the part number but relates to the size of the 3 pipes, 32mm /32mm/ 20mm I believe.
Using the link that would mean the connector is item 10 so the pipe you need is the smaller one of those that attaches to this, probably item 4.

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. Yes, both APR and GIAC ha

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
Last Poster: Saaim124 in Mk5 General Area on November 13, 2024, 01:28:21 pm

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.

Looks like it. You just need to pick the best one out of the two middle sized seals that fits your pump.......so expect to have one extra

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.

Re: Engine jerking causes?
Last Poster: deltawing in Mk5 General Area on November 07, 2024, 10:21:12 pm

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

What is the current going rate people are paying for the DSG service?

Any recommendations for specialists in the East Berkshire/West London area?

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.
