Here is what mine was with a slight chain rattle before I replaced a worn cam phasers, chain and seals at 120K miles

The phase position should be 0 to -/+3 max and there should not be more than -/+0.5 on the adjustment intake B1 for healthy timing (when engine is hot)

Before

Well I found the problem, and learnt a lesson at the same time.

It was the two drivers side 16mm rear control arm bush bolts that were both at least half a turn loose. Ended up buying new bolts for both sides and fitting them, and it'#039s been silent since.

Lesson there was don'#039t trust other people'#039s work, and when a car is new to me, just check all bolts in

I have the code p0011: Bank 1: Camshaft A (Intake): Retard Setpoint not Reached (Over-Advanced)

I have replaced Cam chain, tensioner, the 3 oil control rings, and the N205 valve, looking for advice for what to check next, could it possibly be cam position sensor? clogged n205 pickup screen?

Good thread. Can I ask what the spec is for the wing mirror switch and window switch replacements - ie, what Mk golf are they from? I've done the same as you with the headlight switch and upgraded it to a newer version with the chrome on.

DMF Friction control plate
Last Poster: MKVASMR in How to Guides / Troubleshooting on March 16, 2025, 07:04:32 pm

I'm planning on doing a full clutch replacement and I'm seeing two types. One with the control plate and one without. Which one is in a stock car? I'm guessing it has some benefits in reducing vibrations. The place I'm planning to get it from currently has the one with the plate around 100euros cheaper.
Thanks in advance!

has your external roof whip aerial been removed/nicked or is that a shark fin antenna?
Looks mint for the mileage.

Re: Remanufactured CV Shaft
Last Poster: lazy in Mk5 General Area on March 13, 2025, 08:58:03 pm

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.

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to find a diagram for the interior fuse box but everywhere online it seems to be different to mine
Does anyone have a diagram for this?

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
