Candy White Golf GTI Ed. 30 - 8th track day at Estoril
Shoduchi:
Now I notice a quieter idle. It's just the injectors working, mostly. The cam chain and cam chain tensioner were also inspected and looked in good condition. The cam chain timing on VCDS is spot on. The engine has a bit more than 80k km/50k miles, at the moment
Shoduchi:
Finally fitted the upgraded LPFP. Went with the DeatschWerks DW65v because it uses a basket from a mk5 LPFP, so the fuel lever sensor is the same as the one fitted on the factory LPFP, which means the fuel level readings won't be off like with the TTRS LPFP.
The installation is pretty straight forward. So I ordered an used LPFP (1K0919051AE) from eBay and a new LPFP seal ring from VW (1J0919133B). Just mind that some of these pumps have the 3rd connector at the top opened from cars with a fuel pre heater system. I didn't notice that detail before ordering so my friend who fitted the pump had to improvise something to block that connector. He just cut a small portion of a fuel line hose and blocked it with a screw.
All fitted back in the car, so I went to test it. It primed right away when turned the ignition on and the sound was a bit more noticeable than the stock fuel pump. Now I have always +5 bar after a long run on WOT, when before the stock fuel pump would start to fail that demanded fuel pressure. Should get my tune tweaked to prevent overheating the fuel pump control module this week. :smiley:
I still have a water/methanol throttle body spacer plate from AKS Tuning to fit with a WMI kit (still not ordered). The Summer here has been colder than usual (<30ºC) so the need to fit the WMI isn't really that great, fortunately. :smiley:

The standard GTI and TT-S engine covers do not foul the HPFP with the AKS roller conversion kit :happy2:
Motul 300V is a good oil :happy2: I've been looking at LiquiMoly Molygen, it's supposed to be a very good oil. A Millers Nanodrive alternative, but with VAG 502.00 approval, which the Millers does not have :smiley:
What number do you see in VCDS block 91, or is it 93? Can't remember. -3KW is about right.
Adrian:

Jakey:
