"JOLF" MK5 1.9TDI 2004 - NOW BEING SPLIT TO STANDARD!!!
« on: December 12, 2013, 09:23:07 pm »
Just picked this up last week for  its only the 1.9 TDI with 130k on but had the flywheel and clutch done at 125k and belt and pump done at 115k so bargain i thought!

Heres a few pics of how i got it




She has a crack in the rear light but ive bought a full set off a guy on here for £15 so going to give them a lick with some tint spray i have laying around.
Also back bumper has a small scuff and crack so going to buy a replacement on saturday along with one of these:

Just picked up some 18" Merc wheels today for £400 with the tyres so this weekends job is to bore them and souce some long bolts, any help would be great ( the audi TTRS style wheels in the first pics are up for sale if anyones interested)



Bought some new mats , leather 3 spoke steering wheel ( need an airbag if anyone can help ), black front badge, bought a set of front bumper strips in primer to colour code, also sourced a armrest and colour coded handles.

Any ideas or opinions would be great. cheers

Drove 45 miles today to pick up a rear bumper .... turned out it was the wrong colour  :sad1: on a lighter note i managed to get an armrest for £70 which i thought wasnt bad.

Cheers dude

So far ive fitted the rear light it needed, had a key cut today but couldn't manage to code it with vag commander so ordered vcds to try and get it programmed in aswell as change my miles back to miles instead of kms and turn off the seat belt bong.
just started drilling out the lug holes today on the wheels 1 wheel left to do so weather permitting ill put them on tomorrow.
Got my Pipercross panel filter in the post today along with my extended locking wheel nuts and primed bumper strips ready to colour code at somepoint. Fitted black VW badge to the front just waiting for the back one to show up in the post.

Also picking up the leather interior on the weekend! will get some pics once shes come together more and had a clean up

What wheels are that? Those merc ones?  :smiley:

And also, just a bit of advice, stick with a standard paper filter on these TDI engines. Foam filters can ruin your turbo.  :happy2:

Yeah that's a ball ache with some merc wheels :(

There are absolutely no gains to be had from a foam filter on these engines. Their filtration is less and the dirt which gets through will damage the turbine blades in the long run.
The standard intake is not limiting whatsoever and has been used in cars with over 300bhp without issue. Paper filters are £10 from the motor factors so it would take at least 4 services (every 10k for arguments sake) to recoup the saving presuming you paid £40 .

If you want to allow more flow without causing any damage look into a S2000 paper filter - However again these don't really provide any benefit unless you're running huge turbos and have cold air feeds  :happy2: - However they would allow slightly more air to flow due to a larger surface area and are paper rather than foam/cotton so filtration remains high. FOD damage on these turbos can be terminal.

Here's a turbo on a PD engine after it's been ran on a foam/cotton cone filter (appreciate it's slightly different, still point is the same!)


Just some advice bro!  :smiley:

Got my Vagcom this morning, Coded up my key and change the odometer back to miles! Happy days. Just need to find out how to do other tricks with it like turning of the seatbelt bong etc!
