All Things Mk5 > Mk5 General Area
What did you and your MKV do today?
mjmallia:
Preventative maintenance applied to the coolant expansion tank. The original is 19 year old plastic so only time before these things fail. Changed it out for a FEBI one and amazed at the colour difference
mjmallia:
Also changed the inline stat due to the car running cool......third one in seven years.
They only seem to last two years for me with my short journeys, but it gets back up to temp again and stays there......until we meet again :grin:

Not today but during the last month. Swapped the front and rear speakers as they were all done for, due to an improperly coded rns510. Also got some sound insulation done on the front doors as everything was one big rattle. Audio system 3way plug n play for the front and a hertz for the rear. It sounds really nice and no real need for a sub IMO.
Installed a oil sensor adapter (mounts on the turbo oil feed line) and a stack oil pressure gauge. Swapped the S3 IC for a Alpha competition one (https://www.all-stars-motorsport.com/en/engine/13134-golf-5-gti-golf-6-r-golf-6-gti-s3-8p-leon-2-cupra-alpha-competition-intercooler-kit-ac-200-ic-2000000028132.html) which is a bit larger but with OE fitment and got those IC to throttle body (https://www.all-stars-motorsport.com/en/engine/11423-alpha-competition-throttle-pipe-for-audi-s3-8p-leon-2-cupra-golf-5-gti-golf-6-r-20-tfsi-ea113-ac-200-tp-2000000008431.html) and turbo to IC (https://www.all-stars-motorsport.com/en/engine/11886-alpha-competition-turbo-outlet-discharge-pipe-for-audi-s3-8p-leon-2-cupra-golf-6-r-tts-20-tfsi-k04-ac-200k04-ot-2000000020914.html) aluminium pipes they offer to replace the stock plastic ones. Forgot to take pics tho =)
Also got some brand new AKS high flow injectors from a guy on FB marketplace for a sweet price along with a 165bar PRV which I will be installing on Monday + stage 3 retune to work the tte420 a bit more. Curious what numbers they'll be able to pull with these injectors and setup, will report back.

Cleaned up the interior a bit, steering wheel + plastic/glass bits, wheel was looking sorry as hell after one year without any attention. :smiley:

Installed the AKS injectors, didn't need the 165 bar PRV in the end, kept the old rs4 one. 393hp / 562nn.. Hope it holds up😂
