How to Guides / Troubleshooting / Re: Edition 30 ramair intake EVAP hole

Yea my bad, didn’t realize there was a difference. I just did some research and found that some left hand drive models have this noise reduction pipe. On the top left underneath that pipe is my diverter valve.

I am only really familiar with the UK Ed30........same layout as an S3 8P.

It may be a real one as you say it is a German import.....I could not say, as we never got the noise pipe thing in the UK.

It should be a german import. I am from the Netherlands. Is there a difference maybe between uk and german ones?
Or is there any way to check if my ed30 is real? It’s even registered as a 230hp ed30?

No, this car looks to be an import as it has that noise pipe thing in the way that the UK cars for sure never came with.  There is a lot of info on US sites, as they get removed and blocked.......red box.....there is usually a pipe that routes where that noise pipe is and goes to the DV in the front of the engine.

It does not look like a K04 engine either, as I am unable to see the DV so do not believe this is a genuine ED30 in my opinion.....def not a UK one!

How to Guides / Troubleshooting / Edition 30 ramair intake EVAP hole

« Last post by LarsG on November 30, 2025, 06:35:19 pm »

Hello,

I just installed the ramair intake on the MK5 GTI edition 30. A problem I faced was that the (EVAP?) hole wasn't in the correct position for the (EVAP?) cable. It's underneath the hole and can't reach it since the space to put it on is way too tight. (See pictures). Is there something I am doing wrong? I think the car has a PCV delete, could this have anything to do with my cable being in a different position or anything?
What I've temporarily done is plug both the cable and the insert hole, but it gives a very loud flutter which I don't think is a normal thing haha

Mk5 General Area / Re: Ignition stuck

Yup, it's know to happen on VW's, many broken keys and ppl getting stuck in some remote area. Just had mine changed a few days ago, aftermarket one, guy came home, 130 GBP and 40mins later fixed and smooth as butter (this is EEU prices so expect more in the UK I guess). You'll need a new barrel and keys recoded if you don't have Immo off I think.

Cheers, I rang a local auto locksmith and they were saying I need to have the door locks changed aswell, do you know if this is needed?

Mk5 General Area / Heating stuck at around 20 degrees

« Last post by Joeb3006 on November 26, 2025, 09:18:34 am »

Coming into the winter I’ve noticed my cabin doesn’t get hot, just luke warm. I have dual zone climate control but even on “high” temp, the scanner tells me the temp coming out of the vents never goes above 20?

I’ve looked online and can see the heating is controlled by a variety of flaps. I’ve inspected all flaps. The two recerc flaps on the blower unit, and the three behind the centre console and they all appear to be working correctly.

My question is, is there another hidden flap / motor inside the blower unit that could be stuck?

I’ve also bled the heater core and I’m getting water temps it 68 degrees on the inlet and the outlet pipes so I know that’s not blocked.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers all

If I’m correct, you remove the panel on the left side of the drivers footwell, there is a little flap with a T20 screw behind it. Ones that panel has been removed, you should be able to see the motor about 6” up. It’s either held in by simple clips or by a 6/7mm screw.

I’m having a similar issue where my temp is only going to about 20 degrees and won’t go hotter. I’ve changed all the flap motors and flushed the heater core but no luck for me yet.

Hopefully a new motor fixes your issue
