All Things Mk5 > Mk5 General Area
What did you and your MKV do today?

Busy weekend for me on both Golfs. The wife's 1.6 FSI had a couple of errors
17439 - Intake Manifold Tuning, Valve (N316)
P1031 - 008 Setpoint not reached
and
16706 - Engine Speed Sensor (G28)
P0322 - 004 - No Signal - Intermittent
So dismantled the intake side of the engine and everything attached as it is impossible to otherwise change this speed sensor. Changed the sensor blind due to its position and for additional fun it was an angled part with its bolt being the same, but got there :rolleye: After that I noticed why the Intake Mani valve error popped up, as the vacuum pipe to control the flaps had disintegrated.....so a new pipe on there and back to full health, before also needing a new battery :rolleye:
Then on my GTI I changed the engine mount as I had been noticing some knocking noises and the other two had been dealt with already, swapped that out for a Febi one that had the majority of the VAG part numbers and logos ground off with new genuine bolts added for peace of mind ........now the engine is sitting a lot higher and level.
I also put the car into winter mode by taking the BBS rims off and put the black Cades on.......much easier to clean as the weather gets worse.
I hope that is it for a while :grin: TOUCHING SOME WOOD!!!

Bought a pair recently, no more fear of the clip pinging off into my eyes.

Oil service on the new daily. BMW's service schedule is 18,000 miles or 2 years :stupid: Screw that. I'm doing it every 6000 :smiley:
Still got loads of Platinum Plus 5W40 in the shed, so shoved that in, making it one VERY cheap service :grin: Much cheaper than BMW's £20 per litre sh1tty rebranded Castrol rubbish, and the engine takes 6.5 litres.
Easiest air and oil filter change ever on these cars, literally 3 minutes to do both. Love it!
Grubby old air filter. Last changed 20K ago, I mean, WTF BMW, seriously? Your servicing regime is ridiculous :grin:
GVK:
Got rid of the Ed30 then Kev?
Whats the new daily apart from a BMW :signLOL:

Nearly finished the brake upgrades (just braided rear lines to fit) I’ve gone from standard GTi brakes to the Macan/Q5 fronts with 345mm discs and R32/S3 rears. Still bedding in but feeling good so far. Fronts were done a couple of weeks ago and finished the rears today. Made up new hard pipes from the Calipers to the first flexi hose as the old ones snapped in normal fashion at the ends. Bleeding for a decent pedal is definitely a 2 person job…even with a pressure bleeder!
