Soft misfire on idle

Hi all, new on here. Have a 2006 GTI, 105k with full history. Engine starts, runs and revs beautifully but it is a little lumpy on idle, not noticeable in the engine bay but can feel ot through the front seats. Had inlet media blasted and replaced PCV but still the same. Any idea where to go next?
Re: Remanufactured CV Shaft

Also the CV boot shouldn't have any sort of hole in, water would get in and ruin the joint. One of my CV's was making a noise and I ended up getting a full shaft. I asked the parts supplier who we deal with to get me the best available and he got me a BGA one. It was a bit tight getting the gearbox end in but it's been on a few months now and haven't had any issues.

That'#039s crazy, someone must have practically lived in the thing! Think it'#039ll get to 500,000?
Of course it will! As of now it runs really good and pulls very good. Does need its injectors done which are being done one Friday alongside walnut blasting, full service, rocker

Does anyone know what the spec is for the Bilstein B3 OE replacement springs? On AutoDoc it comes up with these for my 2007 GTI as a replacement fit and they are only £22.14 each which seems a bargain. This is for the rear springs. It notes them as for '#039standard suspension without a trailer hitch'#039. Does anyone know if these are the same dimensions as what would be on the car or o

Central Locking System not working, anyone know where I should start?!
Last Poster: StephenCabers in How to Guides / Troubleshooting on March 09, 2025, 05:01:03 pm
Hi all, I own a 1.9tdi mk5 and currently am having issues with the central locking, when I first got the car, it was intermittent, sometimes working sometimes not, however I recently looked at the fuse box on the drivers side and it had no fuse in it, I put a 25 amp in it and the fuse blew right away, tried a 30 and alas it still didn’t work… nbsp  Don
Re: Cant get Insured for a reasonable price
Last Poster: Smithy1222 in Mk5 General Area on March 07, 2025, 04:38:24 pm
I found out why it was so expensive, I was declaring wheel spacers and alloy wheels, and while alloy wheels didn't cause any issues my cheapest price dropped by over £1000 when removing wheel spacers. Tried Greenlight and they cant insure me with those mods declared, it must be some other factor which is causing it to be excessively expensive.
Thanks all for your replies!

At idle, the chain is sitting quite happily at 1.0 KW when warm but the adjuster is at 26-27 KW even when the requested is 28 KW. The belt hasn'#039t been checked since last year but back then we checked 3 times and both marks were on spot.
I need to take a look at those VVT adjuster ring seals. Those wren'#039t changed and they are rubber/plastic on this engine as far as I kn
