Fair play mate for sticking with it, glad you got the gearbox issue sorted. That'#039s a good share for us dsg owners if nbsp we end up with the same issue.
Always better to do nbsp what you can yourself if possible.

Hi all, I have a misfire problem under load from cylinder one, Idles fine albeit not perfectly smooth but when it comes onto boost or try for high throttle it stumbles and the engine light flashes. Swapped coils and plugs and still cylinder 1. Ran some injector cleaner through it and it does seem to idle a bit smoother but still getting misfires. If you ask only 30 ish percen

I'#039ll try to help here, but please don'#039t take this as gospel I'#039m only going by what I have seen from researching the project myself and don'#039t have any first hand experience (hopefully others will chime in)

My Edition30 came with Dunlop Sportmaxx RT2 tyres - they'#039re decent and I'#039ve had the RT1 tyre in the past.
But my go to tyre is always the Goodyear Eagle F1 - amazing tyre, have had it on a number of cars including my V6 Mk1 Audi TT.
Have just had Goodyear Efficientgrip performance 2 tyres fitted to the Rav4, but too early to tell. nbsp Have had Efficientgrip 1s

I know this is way too late and would be interested to know if you completed this mod? I just changed out to a gti front bumper on My mk5 golf fsi 1.6 today. Was certainly not a straight fit and required cutting and finessing to get it to fit.

Interested in this thread as I (like many it seems) have this idle misfire type thing every now and again. nbsp Goes away as soon as throttle is pressed, never have a problem when driving around. nbsp Have the oil control rings to replace when I find the time, hoping it is that. nbsp I have no codes or erro

Hello guys, im new here. I brought a edition 30 cheap 3 years ago that needed engine work. All done, runs a dream. A month or so ago my drivers door lock stopped working. Ive been a mechanic for 10 years and this one has got me stumped. I know mk5s are notorious for door lock problems and was well aware of the normal faults. My drive door no longer locks or unlocks from
Re: Low oil pressure caused by PCV?
Last Poster: ZoliWorks in Mk5 General Area on July 11, 2025, 04:50:28 pm
Not exactly plug and play though as you have to drop the pump and drill into it, so as it says on the page, a last resort. Would be good to know the oil pressure numbers at the different RPMs before taking a decision on where to throw time and money.
