Vish's Grey GTI Journal - New Wheels :)

Vish8895:
Hi all,

I'm back again with my second MK5 GTI as I just can't keep away from these little pocket rockets!

Today I sold my car and bought the following MK5 GTI. I had spent weeks shortlisting the right car and every time I found the perfect car I was beaten to the punch. This morning I shortlisted it down to 3, a silver manual ED30, a Red base spec DSG and the car I bought, a Grey high spec DSG.

The car has 4 previous owners (I'm the 5th) and 88K miles with a decent FSH but sadly no evidence (not to say it hasn't been done) of a cam belt change, spec as follows:

-DSG
-Xenons
-Heated Leather
-Highline Clocks
-18" Monza II's

I've already ordered the following for tomorrow (except the last one which is being posted):

-6L of Mobil 10w40 oil
-Oil Filter
-Fuel Filter
-Cabin Filter
-STP Engine Flush
-Connects2 Auxillary Adapter (plugs into the CD changer and gives Aux input, worked perfectly in my last GTI).

I will be giving the car a service and flush tomorrow to make sure I know what is in there and that she is freshly serviced.

I have also left a message with a local garage (Motorserv Solihull) for a price on Cambelt and Waterpump.

I will be replacing the cam follower and related o-rings and also the DV for Rev G next weekend, and will check the PVC when doing the service tomorrow.

I have never had a DSG so would appreciate any advice you guys have!

The mods I am currently hoping to do are as follows:

-Black BBS CH Wheels
-Induction Kit (not too fussy which as long as it is a direct fit and has a heat shield, I am not going for max power with this car)
-Cat-back exhaust
-Coilovers and FRSU

Anyway heres the car:

Thanks bud!

My last one had been modified to Stage 2/2+ I think but this one is stock meaning I can mod it how I like and know exactly what's been done (within reason of course).

Vish8895:
So headed to Euro Car Parts this morning as GSF was closed, and collected some service items :).

As the car is stock at the minute I didn't get the tuners favourite Millers Nano-Drive, but still got 5w40 as recommended by Niki @ R-Tech.

I ran the engine flush just for peace of mind and the rest is pretty much self explanatory! Didn't do the air filter as I am going to be doing an induction kit soon so seemed pointless  :signLOL:

I will be ordering the cam follower, HPFP o-rings and Rev G DV this week for next weekend :).



As noticed when buying the tracking clearly needs doing!


New filter ready to get fitted (excuse the scruffs)

Vish8895:
Just received the following ready for Saturday :).
