Mk5 General Area / Does the Oversized Ramair Intake require oiling?
« Last post by SANDEGTI on May 15, 2024, 07:40:10 pm »
So I've been wanting to clean my air intake for a while now, it's way overdue and now it's sunny I'm wanting to do these jobs.

From what I remember the instructions didn't include re-oiling the filter after cleaning? But now I've seen videos on YouTube state that they need re-oiling, while others are saying not to do it at all.

Cheers guys. :drinking:

Just had mine through.  They sent me an email a few days ago explaining why prices are up, so was expecting an increase.  £293 now up to £410!

I've definitely had a symptom where it felt like the car would accelerate, then ease off, then accelerate again but not sure if it's my throttle body failing or if it was my broken turbo that underboosted by 0.4 bar and what I felt as a slight hesitation was just the N75 kicking in to compensate.

I haven't felt anything like that on the K04. I'll make a note to replace the TB when all else is taken care of. Currently doing fueling stuff.


Does this look like the correct TB?

When accelerating it would sometimes feel like the power was being held back for a second and then return, hot or cold.

Boost would suddenly drop on my gauge and return, and felt like something stuck and then suddenly opened......hard to describe.

I could not figure it out and had worked my way round the entire engine......decided to try the newer Conti TB and it resolved all the issues. smooth power delivery and the car also felt more responsive.


100K on the VDO TB and it was an early one too.

What were the symptoms of yours when it was sticking, like what did it do exactly? Revs falling slow? Uneven idle? Car randomly dying when coming off-gas? Revs jumping up-down as if it had a vacuum leak?

Sticker in the boot or service book should show gearbox code. It should be on the box on the top of it, but might be hard to see what with all the wires and sh*t.

Mk5 General Area / DSG woes!
« Last post by Lewo on May 14, 2024, 06:09:27 pm »
Driving home last night and bit of a pop from the dsg gearbox car came to a stop, display flashing. Managed the short drive home at 20mph in 1st gear I presume.
Parked car up and this morning it started with no display flashing.
Scanned with Carista and got the code.
Is it cream crackered?
56 plate gti.
Where is the gearbox code so I can see which one I need?
Cheers.
