Get an oil pressure test kit, the only way to know if the pressure is really off and by how much. If it'#039s after 30-40 min that'#039s when the oil has really warmed up so I'#039d say it'#039s genuinely got low oil pressure.
If you'#039ve checked the balance shaft ends aren'#039t wiggling and nothing else seems wrong it could be the oil squirters (aka oil spray jets) under the pistons,

Yup, backwards '#039innovations'#039 and massive bloatware have ruined modern cars. I liked the MK5 GTI'#039s era as they were new enough to benefit from tech that actually improves your driving life, but not so new as to annoy you with unnecessary bongs and needing a computer to fix even the most minor of issues, such as the MK7 on needing VCDS to change the rear brake pads nbsp  <

Thanks for the replies folks.
Looks like the paint option is the way to go. Def not ideal but that’s the way the cookie crumbles I guess.
It'#039s what I would do personally, if you can'#039t find decent aftermarket one. nbsp Just make sure you prep it well and use a

Cat back exhausts give you feck all power wise (Downpipes do though), so I would stick a resonator on it and keep the peace with your neighbours!
Personally I would just do an S3/6R intercooler, HPFP internals and Stage 1 and leave it there. nbsp Spend the bulk of the money on suspension and brakes instead as people often do it the other way round and end up with a car that

Last post for tonight, I'#039ve split it into several posts be cause there was a ton to write about and there'#039s still plenty to do.
Between dealing with all the stuff I mentioned in the last two posts, I found a load of issues with the body. The front right wing is rusting out after rubbing on the wheel, so that'#039s to be fixed or replaced. But more importantly, the sills a

I have a 5 door 2009 MK5 GTI with stock tartan seats (non heated & non electric) and when looking under the carpet flap where the cables live I notice this unplugged black connector and often wondered what it’s for?

That or excessive carbon fouling can cause misfires.......either way the intake mani needs to come off to inspect that or the injectors.

Hello, I currently own a MK5 GTI and will be buying a brand new engine from factory (AXX) soon. I am planning to push 400-500HP so I am wondering what the limits of the stock internals are, and which ones I have to change to see such figures. It will be a big turbo setup, most of the parts will be provided from RTMG. I am willing to change every single part of those internals, but
Re: Standard Intake Options?
Last Poster: pudding in Performance Modifications on June 23, 2024, 01:47:34 pm
The BMC CDA is a good option, good filters those and not too noisy.
The stock intake is not a restriction until 300hp anyway, so is fine for most Stage 1 - 2 tunes, but if you want quiet, that is the quietest option.

I've just spent circa £2.5k on the suspension components refresh.
I have spared no expense on ensuring the car is mechanically sound.
Being honest, the car could do with the wheels being refurbished. There is general wear and tear on the car which is expected for the age, the car is approaching 16 years old. There are some minor dents and scratches. The front end does have some stone chips. The inner sills have some slight blistering to the paint. The MFSW buttons work intermittently but I have bought the new control module but haven't had this fitted yet. The cruise control is also intermittent and I have purchased a new stalk, but haven't fitted this yet. Parts will be included in the sale, or if I have time, I will get them installed before sale.. Front and rear dash cams & pioneer double din are not included in the sale.
If you are looking for a well sorted car which mechanically has been looked after well, this is a good car to purchase.
I am in no rush to sell, only considering selling to upgrading. No part exchanges please.
The pictures are prior to the installation of the coilovers, I will upload new pictures once I have detailed the car.
I'm looking for £11,495.00, I paid just under this when I bought the car stock.
Please let me know if you have any queries.
Kind regards,
Sharif
