What did you and your MKV do today?

[GTi-Andy]

Straight swap, off with the canisters and on with the foam filters. Really nice sound too, slightly louder then before with canisters but not as loud as the revo I had on a while back. A really nice compromise between the 2. I'm well happy.

Oh and some Valeos went on today. Toying with losing the GTi badge.

i would say remove the badge and rear wiper and it's clean AF

Looks good Andy! Does it feel better with the filters changed?

[GTi-Andy]

Not sure about losing the wiper, I use it a lot! It does seem more responsive since changing to filters, quicker pickup.

Picked up the car today after a full engine rebuild. Full top and bottom end redo after 120k miles. It took 7 weeks for them to get done due to shop scheduling, but very happy to have it finally done. 

How much did that cost if you don't mind me asking?

I can give you what it costs in U$D...$2600. I got nearly 50% off the labor at VW though. The head rebuild with replacement of the valve guides and stem seals ran $600 parts and labor...the motor at VW was $2000 including one piston, all rings, all rod bearings,  DSG service, and all gaskets and belts. I would guess the cost to be $3600 at full labor costs...without a discount.

Finally rolling again...

Bought some valeo rear lights thanks to @Eccie  and coded them for the outer rings. Got a half decent night picture really happy with them

Me and my mk5 went for our final drive with her as my daily. Now she is going to be taken off the road and replaced with a Golf R.

Mixed emotions to say the least...

Andy where on earth did you get that idea from?? Lol looks great, sounds good too would suggest a map tweak for it now!! 

[bonelorry]

Yesterday actually 

Revision C Cam Follower
Revision G Diverter
Revision R PCV & New Gasket
Cleaned the MAF
Detailed the engine bay

[Bignod00]

So, the car has been in with the guys at R TECH having the map tweaked after the exhaust being changed.

Here's some of the early results from FB.



440.7bhp and 427.7fl/lb.

Cannot wait to get her back, planning Snetterton 300 on September the 17th, should be a good shakedown.

Can you advise on the price of the tweak?

Just ordered fresh interior door handles and switches with the chrome tips.

Cheaper than I thought - drivers side plastic cover is £10.99; passenger upper and lower parts of the handle are £8 each all inclusive of vat.

Got the switches off German eBay for £20 delivered.
