hi, just signed up as I`m helping my son sort a few problems with his mk5 gti.
decided to join this site as every time I google something this forum flags up with the best advice.
currently stripping down a complete cylinder head and then going to lap the valves and replace stem seals. the original head has some heavy wear on the inlet camshaft lobes on number 1 and rollers. cylinder 1 also seems to misfire. we have also just replaced the sprung gear on the balance shaft as the original one broke up. I think we were lucky there as the oil pump appears fine. no doubt I will have some questions as we go along.
regards, steve

Welcome to the forum, indeed this is the place to be for advise and mostly all you’ll need to know about the GTI. Sounds like you know what you’re doing so the DIY section will help you with some problems for sure. All the common stuff is relatively easy to sort too. Enjoy
