Mk5 General Area / Re: Mk5 Golf Gti has no terminal 15 power to fusebox

Sorry not sure on this one. 

I assume when you plugged VCDS in that all modules were live and talking?

If running rough that could imply a timing issue and it could have jumped a tooth

Agree........Sounds like the release bearing.

If going into the box to change, you might as well to it all (bearing, slave, DMF and clutch)..........a while your in there job.

If doing it DIY style like I did on the drive...........note the box is blooming heavy!! I did the wifes 1.6 FSI the week prior and the box even though it was also a 6 speed, was half the weight

Mk5 General Area / Golf Gti rattling/tapping

« Last post by Thannant1 on Yesterday at 10:43:47 pm »

Hi, any help would be appreciated.
My mk5 gti has recently developed a tappet sort of noise that when driving will increase with engine speed but disappears when I press the clutch in. It doesnt make the noise when not in gear but there is more of a slight knocking and rumble at idle that again disappears when the clutch is pressed down, thinking that could be the release bearing or dmf. Could the noise when driving also be caused by the dmf?
Thanks in advance.

Performance Modifications / Exhaust

« Last post by Numero9 on Yesterday at 02:06:59 pm »

MOT has picked up the centre box on the exhaust has started to fail at the weld, so decision is either to just source a second hand centre box and fit it OR new exhuast to make more fasts!

Question is are Miltek still the people to use or are they some other slightly cheaper alternatives about?

if I go with a 3" catback would I need an adaptor to go from the cat to the new section?
