Much appreciated! Any chance you know how to get access to the rear muffler without drilling a hole in my boot? will need to get a cable for the valved muffler in there eventually :confused:
I have a GTI Pirelli and under the spare tyre are a few grommets but I haven't seen a way to get access to the rear muffler through there.
Does anyone know of a way it might be possible without...
@Lucas_R Bummer about the write off, I did see one Pirelli on carsales but the owner hasnt got contact info on the ad but it looks mint.
I ended up finding mine on Facebook Marketplace of all places...
Will be sure to keep an eye out for this. But between this, my other GTI and my R32 using these I haven't had an issue. I usually service every 7500 - 10000kms.
Hi all!
After a some time away from here a few things have happened,
I have sold my previous vehicle due to unforseen circumstance and I have since purchased another vehicle better suited to my...
Blackwhite common issue with these engines is the pickup can get clogged causing oil pressure and oil starvation issues. Highly advise getting the sump removed and and the mesh on the pickup checked....
Haven't posted in a while!
This car has now been sold.
The plan was to go K04 but seems it would cost more money than it was worth.
Have since purchased a '09 Reflex Silver MK5 GTI Pirelli...
get the latest revision dv from vw. GFB DV+ has a tendency to get stuck open. is the car mapped at all?
Intake is installed, New rims installed and the downpipe is getting done next week. Once done, I'll be off to my reseller for Unitronic tunes to pick up a uniconnect+ and my Stage 2 Tune And Stage 2...
There is a newer revision can gateway which you need for newer radios to stop them from draining the battery. not sure on the revision number.
i currently hook my both powers to constant 12v and...
definately check the exhaust place reinstalled the o2 sensors correctly. If the spacing is incorrect it could read wrong and cause all sorts of headaches
From what i remember about these its actually a thermal sensor going haywire cause the gearbox to go into a protection mode. food for thought
ABS module is faulty, had it happen on my '09. there is recall for '09 models so yours should be covered. Call VW and check your VIN.
1st post updated, pics to come with intake install soon!
@Cheezel
Still need to do it! headliner is also starting to sag. Hopefully I can find someone who can do it all with factory material.
UPDATE!
So the car is now sitting on 149xxx kms
So far the main service has been sorted with the HPFP cam follower also being replaced as a precautionary item.
Car is driving smoothly and...
Judging by the codes its possibly something to do with either fueling or a bad or blocked catalytic converter. I'm leaning more towards the latter.
That is correct. If I'm not mistaken it is 2008.5+ MK5 had the EA888 engine with timing chains like in the MK6 GTI and above. The rest of the MK5 GTI's had the EA113 engine with timing belts.
I've heard of the controllers for the fans failing before. Seems like a relay on the controller may have carked it.
Possibly faulty canbus module or the one you have is incompatible?
When upgrading the stock headunits of these cars to the app radios in mk6 and above i believe you need to upgrade the canbus...
@maltbbe
Thanks for the input! I didn't think demon tweeks had an AU branch so I think i'll definitely switch to those coils and I will probably go with the new mounts and bearings too.
As for...
