Plans:
Give full clean inside, out and under the bonnet.
Full service
Cambelt, tensioner and water pump
Cam follower

Been away from the mk5s for a while so have a few questions.
What are the later part numbers for:
Cam follower
PCV Valve
DV
please
Also what plugs is everyone running at the mo, genuine VW best for standard?
Cheers Si
-
Hi, are NGK IRIDIUM IX SPARK PLUG BKR6EIXLPG the ones to get?
Cheers

Welcome back mate!
It's funny how we both sold our MK5's at similar times 2014, bought ep3's as run arounds and now ended up back in MK5's at similar times! It must be the Crawley air :grin:
I got the latest part numbers from rtechperformance website :happy2: I would post a link but signal is sh*t.
I'm using NGK 7's spark plugs in mine with a stage 1 tune but they state there good for stock -> 2+
James a VDS said you've emailed him, if you decide to go with him you won't be disappointment with his work mate.
Can't wait to see this and have a catch up :happy2:
-
I know mate, funny! :laugh:
Yes emailed him for some prices of the work I'd like done.
Cool, will take a look at their site and those plugs.
Defo mate.

Overall very happy with it, does need a lot of TLC, plus full service and standard Mk5 bits doing (cam follower, DV, PCV etc). Drives well and enjoying the Mk5 feel again.
Got my work cut out on this one, DBP!:

I have always said I'd never own a black car. But hoping with all experience I now have with detailing I'll be able to bring this back to life. Maintaining plus living with may be a different story, I know I have OCD with my cars.
Anyway, treated to a full goodies from local TPS
Full filter, air, oil, pollen, fuel
Oil
Spark plugs
Cam follower and HPFP seal
PCV and new gasket
DV (Revision G)
Front brake shields and bolts
Rear wiper arm, blade, cap and new nut
(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2Fhh506%2Fs19lun%2FIMAG3910_zpswt1zbs7o.jpg&hash=ce3d0258c3ea5b6dd6b2e54a1d6038ba822e384a)
Hopefully getting to my brothers garage this weekend to get up on the ramp and give car a once over plus fit some of these.

Hi Si, I've just picked up a black gti project for myself. Will be watching what you do to this. Your Anni was super clean :happy2:
-
Welcome back Si!
You're braver than me, going for a black car this time but expect it'll be no fuss for you!
Your last MK5 was lovely - I do keep looking at mkivs seeing as I have so many parts left over from my killed mkiv...
My ED30 has just clicked over to 80k - don't want to get rid - it's too much fun, so think it is a keeper now.
-
Cheers guys.
Yes I'll see how I get on with black, think the dusty summer days will be a killer for me! :scared:

So the anni went last weekend:

Which meant I could put the mk5 in the garage and make a start on cleaning and also got along to my brothers garage to get it up on the ramp for a once over plus service.
I've made a start under the bonnet, this is what I was greated with:

Much easy on this one than my old red mk5 as that had the two metal pipes! This only the one and the rubber. So took my time and all done in no time. Car is on 131K and no sign than been replaced before...

Will get sometime soon hopefully.

you had practise on the mk5 black paint when you did my first eddy 3-3.5 years ago!
hows the correction going on your bonnet? are you seeing what works first before hitting the whole car?
It's far to cold at the minute to be detailing isn't it, I will man up and do mine over Christmas ready for the snow!
I'm well mate just plodding along, what about you?
Car is fine, I've managed to break the intake snorkel thing so that needs replacing but not the end of the world.

Trying a few different products and pads.
Getting good results with 3M and PB blackhole.
Any plans for yours? Got any coilovers yet lol

When in the garage other week to give once over we noticed the nearside CV gaiter had a little hole in it. Think when new ball joint was fitted a while ago they must have caught it. So ordered one up.

Welcome back mate!
It's funny how we both sold our MK5's at similar times 2014, bought ep3's as run arounds and now ended up back in MK5's at similar times! It must be the Crawley air :grin:
I got the latest part numbers from rtechperformance website :happy2: I would post a link but signal is sh*t.
I'm using NGK 7's spark plugs in mine with a stage 1 tune but they state there good for stock -> 2+
James a VDS said you've emailed him, if you decide to go with him you won't be disappointment with his work mate.
Can't wait to see this and have a catch up :happy2:
I'll second that, I go to VDS too, wouldn't have anyone else look at my car! James really knows his stuff! :)

Over the years I have noticed, first full detail always good. But to try and get everything at once a big job. Like with everything building up overtime really helps. This car has been used and not pampered before me. So will start to notice a big improvement with the paint work over the next few months.
Next jobs, cam belt, water pump and cam chain.

Lovely work, great improvement on the bumper lip especially!

Cheers.
Still a way to go, but defiantly an improvement on the paintwork.
Think will tackle again nearer the spring and then seal with a good sealant as heard good for black.
I am not looking forward to dusty summer days and my OCD mind.... :surprised:

Twice a year I fill my swirls with glossworks glaze, seal with Jetseal 109 and wax with autoglym super HD. In my detailing thread - http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,89106.msg902491.html#msg902491

So picked a few bits up from TPS this week, and booked car in with James at VDS Performance in Redhill to get them fitted.

James kept in contact with me all day to update how was going, and did a fnatastic job. Very pleased, excellent work and the car drives great. As was up on the ramps also asked James to fit my new Rev G DV, clearly needed it from split in old one!

Time for an update guys, sorry for slow posts recently.
After getting the work done the other month I was getting the EML light up, nothing to do with the quality of James' work, far from it. Just one of those things, plus he went the extra mile to help diagnose.
So on collecting the car James had said was getting a P000A Bank 1 error, at first he felt was N205, so rather than just chucking a new one in he spent time cleaning old one for me, and we got the code cleared. Unfortunately it came on within 10 miles. So we felt a new N205 was the answer, another trip to TPS:
(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2Fhh506%2Fs19lun%2FIMG_1320_zpsyuzzk2zt.jpg&hash=e4ee291345d29df1357b6cc05149b3426d53ebe3)
Also picked up a pair of new wiper blades whilst in there.
So went back to James, he fitted the new valve. Did a live test run with VDCS and all seemed good. Was a slight concern as the values did dropped once during the test run but thought was just new valve adjusting.
Got home all fine, but light came on next day (under 20 miles) Dam!! Back to the drawing board.
After a bit of research, head scratching and calling upon my brother. We felt a oil change and pick up pipe could be the answer. Also read up about the cam chain adjuster seals going. So... another trip back to TPS! This time I got invited round the other side and my own chair pulled up! Guys in there really great and always very helpful.
So I ordered:
6 litres of oil
One genuine oil filter
Two BOSCH oil filters (had 10 litres of 5/30 oil to do the two oil flushes)
Sump plug and washer
Dipstick
Oil pick up pipe
Pick up pipe seal
Sump sealant
Cam chain gasket
Brake vacuum housing gasket (correct one this time)
Three cam chain seals
Plus two engine cover rubbers (been off so much recently old ones starting to show signs of wear!!)

Then loaded all in the car and paid my brother a visit (front discs/pads still to fit!):

On the ramps:

Drained the old (well just over 1,000 mile!) oil and popped a BOSCH filter on, filled up and did a quick 10 mile test run to get oil flowing round. We was going to do an engine flush, but heard mixed reviews on this so went for this option. We then drain oil and fitted the second BOSCH filter and run up again.
Can see her filter on right after first change and only 10 miles, one on left was the second so defiantly clearing it up:
(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2Fhh506%2Fs19lun%2FIMG_1520_zpsyevyinzn.jpg&hash=e7447c0561d82bf9bf5fc9c65544c71863f9a8d8)
Plus oil coming out of second change much clearer (the first one was still black after only 10 miles):

Then whilst the sealant was setting before putting good oil in, started to take the cam chain housing off. Ended up taking fuel pump, battery, turbo heat shield all off so as to make room, plus make sure nice and lined up when refitting.
Once we took the cam chain housing off, one of the seals was broken in the bottom of it, so 100% my issue. At last problem solved!!

Plus I can report after 70 miles now no EML light!! Yes. Sorted. So pleased to get done. Plus if anyone else thinking of doing or getting cam chain done replace those seals, only £30

Few updates.
As always with a new car I find myself looking in the classifieds, eBay etc for some new wheels. These came up on FB, plus fairly local. Guy selling didn't have spec for them (he was even unsure of PCD), but with a bit of research I took a gamble, they fit!
OZ Superturismo GTs
8x18
ET35
225/40/18 Toyos
From ad:

Was for five of them (hence one I have in the classifieds)
Got them home:

In need of some TLC but all straight, no leaks and only two have a few little marks. If the new one doesn't sell I may stick that on and sell the other cheaper.
Made a start on bringing them up. First a wash and some Wonder wheels treatment:

Fronts do poke a little, I'm hoping with a subtle drop (maybe Eibach's) they will be draw in a bit. Plus front tyres will be due to be replaced in a few thous so might got for 215s

Very pleased with them, plus drives and handles nice on them. I think once have a drop will be even happier. I prefer to do suspension first, but these came up first.

Also made a start on tidying up the engine bay.
Picked up a new coolant expansion tank and a black VW cap (getting the black washer fluid one to match next).
Easy job to do, drained the fluid from old tank into a jug then fitted new one and refilled.
New vs old:

Looks smart on the OZ's! I've just got a set but realised my standard wheel bolts are too short. What bolts are you using? Unsure what length I need and whether I need tapered or radius?
-
The coolant sensor is built into the expansion tank right?
Where did you pick it up from?

Brilliant thanks for that! Was googling last night and couldn't find a definite answer so much appreciated! Will get some ordered.

It's refreshing to see someone more obsessed with cleaning and restoring worn out parts as me. Technicians at work think I'm mad for all the little bits I order from tps for the Golf.
I read your old thread on the red golf shortly after joining this group and found it very helpful sorting some issues on my own car. Looking forward to seeing this new project progress!

Yes I'd rather get the car up to scratch first before modding.
Sad news about the old red one, spotted it on FB with no engine in!!! Last two owners neglected it a little :sad1:
Guy who has it now sounds like bringing it back up to spec tho.

Sorry to pick up on old post but the seals or rings whatever you want to call them on the cam chain cover for the vvt what part number did you use as when I replaced mine my local tps had no clue what I was on about and after some research I found some but the ones I took off were metal and the ones I put back were plastic ? I've never had any fault codes or prOblems as such but I'm sure my vvt doesn't always work as it should.
Time for an update guys, sorry for slow posts recently.
After getting the work done the other month I was getting the EML light up, nothing to do with the quality of James' work, far from it. Just one of those things, plus he went the extra mile to help diagnose.
So on collecting the car James had said was getting a P000A Bank 1 error, at first he felt was N205, so rather than just chucking a new one in he spent time cleaning old one for me, and we got the code cleared. Unfortunately it came on within 10 miles. So we felt a new N205 was the answer, another trip to TPS:
(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2Fhh506%2Fs19lun%2FIMG_1320_zpsyuzzk2zt.jpg&hash=e4ee291345d29df1357b6cc05149b3426d53ebe3)
Also picked up a pair of new wiper blades whilst in there.
So went back to James, he fitted the new valve. Did a live test run with VDCS and all seemed good. Was a slight concern as the values did dropped once during the test run but thought was just new valve adjusting.
Got home all fine, but light came on next day (under 20 miles) Dam!! Back to the drawing board.
After a bit of research, head scratching and calling upon my brother. We felt a oil change and pick up pipe could be the answer. Also read up about the cam chain adjuster seals going. So... another trip back to TPS! This time I got invited round the other side and my own chair pulled up! Guys in there really great and always very helpful.
So I ordered:
6 litres of oil
One genuine oil filter
Two BOSCH oil filters (had 10 litres of 5/30 oil to do the two oil flushes)
Sump plug and washer
Dipstick
Oil pick up pipe
Pick up pipe seal
Sump sealant
Cam chain gasket
Brake vacuum housing gasket (correct one this time)
Three cam chain seals
Plus two engine cover rubbers (been off so much recently old ones starting to show signs of wear!!)

Then loaded all in the car and paid my brother a visit (front discs/pads still to fit!):

On the ramps:

Drained the old (well just over 1,000 mile!) oil and popped a BOSCH filter on, filled up and did a quick 10 mile test run to get oil flowing round. We was going to do an engine flush, but heard mixed reviews on this so went for this option. We then drain oil and fitted the second BOSCH filter and run up again.
Can see her filter on right after first change and only 10 miles, one on left was the second so defiantly clearing it up:

Plus oil coming out of second change much clearer (the first one was still black after only 10 miles):

Time to drop the sump now:

Sump came of nice and easy (think test runs helped). Oil pick up pipe was in a bit of a mess, plus a lot of debris in it and the bottom of sump:

Running small bead on new sealant:

Gave everything a little clean under there:

Then whilst the sealant was setting before putting good oil in, started to take the cam chain housing off. Ended up taking fuel pump, battery, turbo heat shield all off so as to make room, plus make sure nice and lined up when refitting.
Once we took the cam chain housing off, one of the seals was broken in the bottom of it, so 100% my issue. At last problem solved!!

Plus I can report after 70 miles now no EML light!! Yes. Sorted. So pleased to get done. Plus if anyone else thinking of doing or getting cam chain done replace those seals, only £30

I'll dig out the part number mate.
Not listed as a repair for the mk5 but the three rings I did change fix the issue.

Hi mate
How are you? Any updates with your GTi?
Hope your well bud :happy2:

Sorry mate been ages since updated this!! I'm good thanks, how are you?
So I've fitted AP coilovers to the car, new 205/40 profile Pilot Sport tyres, uprated bushes and had the wheel alignment done. Open front fog grills, smooth plate...I think thats it. Maybe a few bits I've forgotten! Bit of carbon film to trim inside.
New to get some new pics

What a great thread, good to see what you have done and very useful information. You're local(ish) to me too. I'm in Brighton but work in Crawley Hospital so up that way 5 days in 7! The guys in Crawley TPS are great, they really helped me out recently with some bits - so friendly, they really know how to look after their customers.
If there are people in the area perhaps we can have a meet up and talk mk5? :smiley: My car isn;t up to your standards but shes gives me many smiles per mile :wink:

Hi, how long have you had the ap coilers on your car and how are you finding them for every day driving ?

Hi, how long have you had the ap coilers on your car and how are you finding them for every day driving ?
very nice car.
Second set off APs I've had. Had another set on my old red Mk5. Yes they are great for daily driving. I have a 6 year old and he is fine in the back.

Looking good Si - glad to read you still have this. How was fitting the front plate print to the US front? Just interested as I have one for mine, and am not sure if to try the vinyl, or to just go with the shortened plate. Looks a fiddly job to get the vinyl right?!

I'm good thanks - still have the ED30. Wish I could turn back time as it's coming up to 90k. Love the thing. Lots of projects I want to add to the car - just need the time & ££! My indy said it's one of the better ones they've seen (of course they'd say that when settling the bill...)...

Cheers guys. Not much to update really, been cleaning and such as normal. Doing oil and filter every 3,000. Just clicked over the 145,000 mark now. Got a warning light for steering rack torque sensor so have a new rack to fit soon.

Refurbed rack all fitted and coded.
In other news will be removing my pvt plate and putting the car up for sale. I will do a ad very soon. If anyone interested in a lovely example that has had all the right running maintenance done give me a shout.
