Had a nice week off, but came back home ready to push on with the car. Unfortunately the weather had other ideas, and it'#039s been raining non stop since I got back. On the other hand a few bits arrived from china, so I decided to do a small renovation of the steering wheel whilst I'#039m not able to work outside. [img width=

If you want genuine then I’d find the part numbers and try eBay. There’s a few VW dealers that sell on there.

Thanks for the reply, sounds a safe bet for the next thing to replace, Do you happen to know how likely it is to be able to pull just the one out? or should I buy a full set of seals assuming more will come out when pulling the rail off?

My instrument cluster screen has gone faulty ever since i got it. If im lucky the screen flickers on and off but displays an "quoterror"quot where the odometer is. Most the timethe screen is iust plain red though. Anyone experienced this before or have solutions.

Car was picked up this afternoon after being repaired, they've given it a much needed clean inside and out to so was impressed by that.

Boost issue

I’ve been having issues with boost. Done multiple smoke and boost leak test and found multiple leaks that have been solved. Changed diverter valve first still no boost, then went on to change turbo which had some play but oil feed line and return line were very clogged up. Car was picking up nice up to 2.5k revs and I wasn’t pushing it for 300 miles to break in the turbo. Even afte

Three things I found when doing this though:
1) The inserts I sourced needed a slight trim in the connecting
Catchcan/valvecover
Last Poster: NorwegianMK5 in Performance Modifications on July 21, 2025, 12:51:22 am
Hello, I ordered the «PERFORMANCE KIT FOR 2.0 TFSI EA113 ENGINES» from rtmg performance, which includes a billet alu valve cover and a catch can.
I was wondering where the catch can itself goes as the place where everyone is putting theirs (behind right headlight) has a large black box which is twice the sice of the catchcan.
