White "Lion" Cupra - DSG converted track car
Shoduchi:
Just shipped my 20T park brake ring LSD to MFactory UK today. Then I'll have to pay the shipment of the correct version to me once they check the one I shipped. The great price I got it is now diminishing. :sad1:
Did you replace the gasket I listed in my build thread? I had to order it from AC Parts since VW doesn't sell it separately.
teo_parvu:
Sorry to hear that man, but are u sure? Did you check inside the gearbox? These must be the only 2 codes from MK5 with 25T. :sad1: At least you can replace the LSD, unfortunately I cannot replace the starter because more than 14 days have passed.
:confused: Hmm, regarding the gasket, I don't know....the gearbox is already on the car, my mechanic sort it out, I believe he reused the old one. He knows these boxes.
Another problem for me is that we are now blocked waiting for the new starter, the oil pump and the thermostat for it. I did the fatal mistake to buy it without tracking from Demon-Tweeks, because it was advertised to arrive in 4-6 days. I've emailed and called them telling that the only reason I did not pay the extra 10 pounds for a tracked service is because 4-6 days was ok for me but the answer is:
"Your order was despatched via an economy untracked service on the 12/12/2017.
Due to it being an untracked service there are no tracking details for the parcel and the couriers terms and conditions state that they have up to 30 working days to deliver any post.
If after this date you have still not received the parcel please contact our customer service team."
They should put a remark that delivery could take up to 30 days. :doh:
These is also no possibility to get my money back until 30+ working days have passed, so I can order again with a better shipping option. :scared:
Shoduchi:
I haven't checked inside the gearbox. I need the car for daily use. But seeing that the equivalent gearbox from the A3 (yours) is already 25T, mine must be as well. Mine was also made till 12/2008 so maybe I should have looked for that date before ordering in the website. MFactory just lists 20T LSD for DSG for mk5, so I guess it was easier to ask for a swap because of that.
teo_parvu:
Yeah, they are the same generation 99,99% they are the same on the inside also. Unfortunately there is no clear information about when the MK5 got the 25T gearbox anywhere.
Seems that I have to dig deep in my account to buy another thing: adjustable sway bar end links. The ASTs lowered the car so much that the OEM links don't fit anymore.

So future plans are:
- Carbon sunroof delete
- Rear wiper delete
- Maybe change the engine map to MRC
Something like this, but I cannot find it in Europe (Passat, Golf, Leon, Altea use the same sunroof): :grin:

Is an MRC map lighter? :grin:
