Do you have an oil cooler/heat exchanger, wonder if thats your cause of oil in coolant
I did wonder this as I stripped both engines I wasn't sure which cooler I put on it but that's definitely the cheapest option to try I'll swap it and then flush the system to see what happens.
Re: Power folding mirrors - help!

There are three generations off the top of my head with regards to door modules and being able to control power fold mirrors, so you have to get the modules that match your generation.
The same issue applies to other parts in the Mk5 like steering wheel angle sensors (gen 1 and 2 are on the wheel, then gen3 is on the rack), the cooling system plumbing etc etc

Hi guys!!
It is now 15 years later and my OZ Alleggeritas need refurbishing ~ I am thinking Gold! The red & gold colour combo is quite classic on performance cars and not just Ferraris.

Thank you for the reply.
I managed to find a local breaker yard with 2 modules so I got the cars details and found it came factory fitted with power fold and entry light which is what I have fitted.
Part numbers on these are 1K0959701N / 1K0959793K, the other module is the same

The fact it can be jump started rules out starter motor, i'#039m wondering if you have a bad earth strap that goes from the gearbox to the chassis.
If it starts with a jump, it'#039s using the earth from the other vehicle etc. Worth a try getting jump lead from body to engine/box and trying it, do

So, I ended up buying
Direnza Intake
MP Developments 200 Cell Downpipe
VIS HPFP
S3 Intercooler
Also grabbed some new NGK Iridium plugs so they're nice and fresh, and will get the inlet blasted and injectors cleaned and tested as I didnt manage to get that done at the same time as the Camchain

Re: Vibration under the seat on Idle only
Last Poster: ZoliWorks in Mk5 General Area on May 05, 2025, 01:48:45 am
Just turn the engine on with or without the AC, let it idle and bend down next to it. You'll hear it quite clearly if it's the fuel lines.
Another thing it could be is the dogbone mount. I've managed to snap the bushing in mine and it rattled quite bad.
