Mk5 General Area / Re: BOV- Bad for car?
« Last post by ZoliWorks on February 09, 2026, 01:02:02 pm »
If you want some noise from it, stick an aftermarket intake, k04 dv relocation kit, a rev G dv and get it mapped. If mapped, you can use a DV+ if k03, rev G if k04. DV+ cant really deal with the pressure a K04 works with and will throw CEL

Also noise depends on the pressure the map demands of it.

First video was recorded with a k04 with a dv+ and 1.55 bar peak pressure. 2nd video is 1.45 bar peak and a rev G. The noise is still there just not as continuous. I have to be under WOT for it to happen. Also this was recorded when my downpipe-muffler buckle came apart so i was basically running a catless straight pipe

Mk5 General Area / Balance Shaft Delete - Vibrations?
« Last post by mk48972 on February 09, 2026, 12:21:03 pm »
Hi all,

I'm thinking about ordering a VIS Motorsport BSD kit. My car (2008 Mk5 GTI BWA) has done almost 240k km, and I've heard a lot of horror stories about the balance shaft seizing and snapping the chain, resulting in a loss of oil pressure.

I have a question for people who already have a BSD kit installed on their Mk5 GTI: did installing the kit introduce (a lot of) vibration? The car is my daily driver, so I'm okay with engine vibrations increasing a little, but it shouldn't be too drastic.

My engine mounts are fairly new (replaced 3 years ago, OEM).

Thanks in advance!

I have sealed those vents aswell as the harness rubbers at the top of the boot but I'm still getting a slow leak from somewhere. I’ll attach a picture of where the leaks dripping from

Yes wireless CarPlay plus there’s a usb cable with a female socket on it hard wired into the back which can reach the glove box so can extend a cable out from there.

Because the car runs a MAF sensor based fuelling system, any unmetered air from an atmospheric BOV will upset the fuelling, could cause lumpy running and stalling.

Well done.  The plastic pipes and a load of heat cycles and age makes them brittle
