Random Chat / Rear flip reverse camera

« Last post by Andy on November 18, 2024, 10:27:20 pm »

Been looking at fitting the mk6 flip reverse camera but have heard it can make the rear wiper a bit sluggish which I can't understand how!! Any one had issues who has retro fitted it

Something is missing 😁



And all mounted but still had to adjust the ride height…

Found a gap today!
Swapped the rear shocks and springs, was a pretty straightforward
and satisfying job😎 torqued all the new nuts & bolts up….
Kept the rear on original height for now. When the front is done, I’ll drop it 3 to 4cm.
It’s weird!?! I’m all excited about it😅 even now when whole my body is in pain😅
I can feel some muscles are still hurting from last Friday….
Reality bites😅
But enough blabbering… here are some pics…

Mk5 General Area / MK5 GTI STAGE 2 QUESTION

« Last post by Levi on November 18, 2024, 05:14:36 pm »

Hello, after like 2 years and a lot of problems I've managed to get my car tuned to stage 2. My coil pack went bad right after the tune and I've decided to go for new coils and new spark plugs. I've asked the tuner (he had no time to put it on the dyno cause it was saturday and they weren't officially opened) how much hp is it pushing and he said like 260 hp and then right after I've also asked if I add an intake later would the tune benefit from it or do I have to tune it again for that specific intake and he said that I won't have to get it tuned again. Is that true? I'm currently running 3 inch downpipe with sport cat and 3 inch exhaust and I'm aiming for that magical number close to 280. Thank you in advance.

Mine is 1K0906093H made in 2012 but the latest PN ends in J.

The J has been redesigned again and has a metal back plate for heat dissipation (some of the later H version have this from about 2016 - my H is the older all plastic version).......might upgrade again in due course..........I need to stop LOL.

I recall the really problematic controllers ending in B and D, but they all do eventually......my original was a D and the first mod I made to the car

Do you happen to have a part number for the pump control module? I figured I'll replace that too.

If I find a gap this week in the evening, I’ll mount the rear shocks
and springs first.
Nothing difficult to mount and adjust…😎

The front is basically the same but I’ve got to disassemble the gearbox mount along with the dogbone mount and press in the Vibra-Technics gearbox bushing in… also the SuperPro wishbones with all new bushings and the Tyrolsport deadest ridgid collars…

That’s going to be a workout 😅 But it must be done😎
And then finally… the brakes🤩

So it won’t be boring the next couple of weeks😉👍🏻
