Alright I'#039ll check these values. It does misfire on cylinder 4 but nothing excessive under load, mostly on idle.
Now that you mention it, I did see a fault code for slow lambda a while back but didn'#039t think much of it.
I did the injector reseal three times and triple checked the valves for debris that could have stuck in the openings but nothing.
Yup I'#039ve checked

Re: CDL Swap on MK5 GTI
Last Poster: ZoliWorks in Mk5 General Area on September 02, 2025, 08:14:03 pm
In my honest opinion, it'#039s almost never worth doing a swap, if the car came with that engine at any given point from the manufacturer. The only reason I'#039d do a CDL swap is if I blew my BWA because a cdl base is only twice as much as a bwa base.
For the amount it'#039d cost you to swap a CDL, you'#039d be able to forge your bwa, and then you have a fresh engine basically. A s
Re: Back in a MK5 GTi, anything to urgently do?

Its fair to say that there are many 2.0 tfsi'#039s bombing around with high mileage on the original chains. The 400k plus GTI on here has never had the chain and associated components replaced.
That said, mine is sitting at a wild -17°. I'#039ve an original camshaft position sensor inbound. Obviously it'#039s not a true value or it would be running as lovely as it does for it'#039s
Re: Temp gauge dropping when heaters on
Last Poster: Mk5gti in Mk5 General Area on August 28, 2025, 08:12:16 am
So my issue is the needle drops when I turn heaters on
Both thermostats have been done and temp sensors using genuine parts, while driving the needle doesn’t drop, the needle will only drop at idle with heaters on
Re: Cracked air filter housing on engine cover
Last Poster: Joeb3006 in Performance Modifications on August 28, 2025, 07:06:59 am
I agree. I'#039d stick to the std intake and use a good quality std filter and just change it every year. The std intake gets nice cold air right from the leading edge of the bonnet, most "quotcold air"quot kits seem to get the air from inside the warm engine bay nbsp  . The same intake was used on ot

Stupid electric fuel filler flap has decided to play up, it has not locked in the time I've had the car now it sometimes gets stuck unlocked or locked.  New actuator required, looks a bit of a faff to do as well.
Weird ignition on ticking, engine off
Last Poster: wbbigdave in How to Guides / Troubleshooting on August 27, 2025, 07:27:20 pm
as the title suggests I have a weird ticking noise and I wondered if anyone here knew what it was. I noticed it last night. I went out for a drive and stopped and I thought it was something outside the car in the wind blowing, but when I turned the ignition off, I realised that you were something internal. The engine doesn'#039t have to be on for it to make this noise and it doesn'#039t

AXX to BWA Wiring Loom Differences / Oil Pressure Warning

Hello guys! As the titles suggest, differences in the wiring looms.
A bit of a right up but want to be detailed and clear as possible so I can get good answers back. :pomppomp:
So just had a BWA engine replacement (from Octavia) into my Golf which originally had an AXX engine. Was
I used the original AXX loom already in the car for the BW
