So since I'#039ve got the car I'#039ve been having boost issues 😂#128514. This time when I put the pedal to the floor, around 4krpm I get a something like a hiccup. First that got to me was that its probably a misfire. After checking for codes and doing some logs no misfires whatsoever. Still underboosting though with the p0299. Basically pressure tested the car for boost leaks, smoke tested a

Before I had the n75 changed it had P0299 low boost. But now that’s replaced the turbo has no problem building boost it just won’t sustain it for more than a second without the wastegate opening.

Weird issue with gauge cluster; gauges not going to zero when turning car off

Hi all,

My 2008 Mk5 GTI has been standing still for 9 months (valve spring broke, had the entire cylinder head rebuilt). I finally got the engine back together a month ago and it fired right up!
But of course, something like this can’t go completely smoothly without a few issues.

The problem is with my gauge cluster. When I turn the car on, the clock alwa

Sure did. They came back. The check engine light seems sporadic though, does not come back right away.
I'm doing a live log tomorrow while jiggling the connector. Also cleaning the pins inside the connector plus the counterpart on the sensor

Last Poster: oregato in Mk5 General Area on September 07, 2025, 10:43:30 am

Thanks for the reply - I forgot I had replaced the cam shaft position sensor with a bosch one as well. Updated my original post with that info.

Right now, I'm not sure if this is a mechanical/oil issue or an electrical issue if anyone can give me some pointers on what to test next?

My radiator fans won'#039t kick into life and my car starts to overheat at a stationary. I have checked VCDS and engine coolant (g62) rises as normal, but the radiator outlet temp (g83) remains stuck on 35c. I have taken out the g83 sensor and the VCDS still shows it as stuck on this temp, so thinking not the sensor. I have traced and checked the contin
