Re: What did you and your MKV do today?

On a positive note, I have noticed that my exhaust tips have become a lot less black/sooty (90% less) since the lambda replacements, so the car must be running a lot more efficiently now nbsp :happy2:
Have you noticed better fuel consumption or is it too soon to tell. I was surprised

Have you done the cam follower for the HPFP. Might as well change it if not as it has to come out.

I also refreshed the vacuum pump seals as a while your in there and it too has to come off.

I used to work at the VW HQ and know all the guys (some are good friends) at the local TPS where I live, so that is my access to them these days

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

DSG Service Costs?
Last Poster: jsklair in Mk5 General Area on November 01, 2024, 02:05:44 pm
Getting to that time in the service schedule...

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

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

Hello everyone,

Ubiquiti UVC-G5-Turret-Ultra - Thoughts on Its 4K Capabilities and Low-Light Performance?

I'#039m considering the Ubiquiti UVC-G5-Turret-Ultra for a surveillance setup and wanted to know if anyone has firsthand experience with it. With its 4K resolution and enhanced low-light performance, it seems like a great choice for high-quality security foot

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.
