ABS unit compatibility
« Reply #60 on: September 06, 2018, 06:39:51 pm »
Hi, my abs pump unit is part number: 1KO 614 517 BD. Will part number 1KO 614 517 H fit my 2008 gti? I take it, it would need coding after anyway if it did fit?

Thanks

Steering rack on its way out?
« Reply #61 on: September 26, 2018, 10:39:10 pm »
Hi hope anyone knowledgeable on this can help.

Im getting various noises from the front end of the car when maneuvering in particular at low speeds.At one point theres creaking and at others theres like a rhythmic dull knocking sound when turning left.
There are no codes or warning lights and had this checked through a specialist using VAGCOM. The car was also had a 4 wheel aligment on a hunter system.
The steering weight seems to vary most of the time and feels hard to turn left. Often it ranges to heavy to light but direct. When this occurs it also feels like some power is being held back when turning left (maybe linked to the ABS?)
Still strange theres no codes showing. The VW technician believes its highly likely the rack just by test driving.

If the signs point to a new rack, how much is expected to replace? I would consider reconditioned but understand may need a new wiring loom. Absolutely gutting if it is as ive already had the top end of the car rebuilt last year aswell as new calipers and top mounts- slowly turning into a money pit and im finding it hard to justify spending much more on this car.

RacingLine intake kit - Edition 30 / Golf 6 R

RacingLine intake kit - Edition 30 / Golf 6 R (Can also fit K03 with a small change)
£250.00
Single Image
    Location: Ipswich
    Postage: £0.00
    Delivery Only

    A bit of a long shot, but does anyone fancy a Racingline intake? :)

    A year old and barely any use, so still in excellent condition.   The guide plate for the grill has been adjusted slightly to fit wider S3 / aftermarket intercoolers, but will still fit cars with a standard intercooler.

    My engine is back to standard so it's surplus to requirements.  In spite of the well documented fitment issues with this kit, it does add noticeable power and is quiet.  Racingline are working on an improved version, but there is no ETA.  It may not even happen, so this is a chance to grab a kit £200 off the new price!

    I also have a TT-S engine cover available if someone wants a package deal.

    This kit will fit K03 engines too if you block off the diverter port.  A cheap bung from ebay will do the job.

    Price includes postage.
