Any update please? I had the same PRNDS flashing as well after changing the oil and the oil filter. Although my car still runs as normal. Mine is DSG GTI Mk6

Mk5 General Area / Re: K04 Conversion - Do you ever regret it? How is it for daily driving?
« Last post by ZoliWorks on April 22, 2024, 07:23:15 pm »It didn't upload correctly for some reason, fixed.
Tuners here claim they can get 300 to 315hp out of just a turbo upgrade on stock fueling parts. I've already told the guy that I'm not installing any of those parts just yet but we'll see what the actual gains are eventually.
EDIT: Checked again, you are right, I need injectors too. Will speak with my tuner again to see if he can limit it to under 300hp to be on the safe side till I get a hpfp, injectors and other supporting parts.

Make sure the tuner is aware you are on stock injectors and you are limited. Perhaps 300hp is too optimistic without the fuel related mods?
Also the video you posted is private so I can't check it out.

Next job to upgrade the gear knob to match.

I changed the solenoid in between the first and second visit and it made the fluctuations less but not 100%. So looking back at pictures of when I did my cam chain I saw there were grooves in the phaser itself (I had no idea when I did the chain that the grooves aren’t actually supposed to be there 😂) so decided a new phaser was in order. All fitted up and running sweet. Amazing how quiet the engine is with over 100k.One more thing, often overlooked, is the N205's oil pickup screen (first pic) should be carefully removed, cleaned, and replaced. This insures maximum oil flow for the cam adjuster to properly adjust itself via the N205. Three new rings also insure the containment of the oil fed to the new cam adjuster unit (second pic).
Also had a general under bonnet and front grille tidy up…painted with satin black tough paint and gloss red. [/url]
Definitely good advice!! Luckily I did both of these whilst it was apart
