Re: Edition 30 OE paint codes
Last Poster: stealthwolf in Mk5 General Area on February 16, 2025, 11:38:06 pm
The car came in two blacks - a flat black and a diamond Pearl black. The Pearl black was the LC9Z code. Hence your car must be the flat back. I think the other ED30 colours were Tornado Red, Candy white, steel grey and reflex silver.

Thinking of my next mod is fitting folding mirrors but do they fold a like standard ones!!

Re: DIY - Fuel injector service.
Last Poster: Yodi in Mk5 General Area on February 14, 2025, 06:24:32 pm

Nice to see such a new post, I have a few questions if that'#039s cool as I may have to do mine, I got a remap today but it was running lean and the tuners has pin pointed an injector fault causing it to retard the timing a lot.

How hard is the job to do, how long did it take? nbsp Also, I read you need special tools to install the seals and an injector puller?



HELP!! Replacement BWA or BYD engine required. Anyone??

I used to be a fairly regular poster here when I had my Edition 30; that’s long gone but about 18 months ago I bought a 2006 5 door GTI from a friend who’s owned it from new. nbsp  I have all the service documents, the original bill of sale and order with VW and this car has all the options VW offered at the time - apart from bucket seats I think. nbsp The original owner wasn’t especiall


Re: MK5 GTI - Intercooler Hoses leaking again. Replacement suggestions please.
Last Poster: mjmallia in Mk5 General Area on February 13, 2025, 11:16:36 am
That BE version is an early revised part from the older alloy end tanks..........as the BP like what I have, nbsp replaced it for whatever reason and is the current part num I believe.........not sure what they changed to improve it.

Otherwise is should work.........you will still have your originals and can mod them to fit without issue.

Also look for the rad pa

Could be carbon buildup in the intake/around the valves or a failing swirl flaps module


Re: Mk5 GTI 2.O FSI -AXX- Hard start, when it starts engine shaking + misfire,
Last Poster: jennybeaven in How to Guides / Troubleshooting on February 12, 2025, 02:25:29 pm
Hi there,
I'#039ve been having issues with Oil Pressure STOP coming on while driving. The engine sounds rough (rattling, missing) while cold but seems to get better when warmer. Oil pressure doesn'#039t always come on. The code is P0011, we are suspecting this is the timing has skipped/ VVT gear related however I'#039ve stripped it down and the chain and follower looks fine.
Any


Door not unlocking and indicator flashing 3 times
Last Poster: crashdesk in Mk5 General Area on February 12, 2025, 02:20:49 pm
Hi,

I really don'#039t want to see my GTI go, and get a new car. I am hoping these are easy/cheap fixes.

First of all, the passenger driver door does not open when using the key fob. It does open when using driver side door unlock button.

Secondly, when indicating right and I turn right, straighten the steering wheel to automatically disengage indicato

Re: Cold start issues - LPFP, HPFP replacement - Results
Last Poster: ZoliWorks in Mk5 General Area on February 11, 2025, 04:00:26 pm
Another thing I've heard is that the fuel lines can develop cracks and air can get through them, into the fuel feed. If all else fails, this is also something I wanna look into. I'll replace certain parts of the fuel lines with transparent tubes just to see what's up while the engine is running.

Good luck with your injector stuff!

If you get one sorted, I've got a Pipercross panel filter going. It's used but washed and good to go. I had 2 for my car and swapped them about. Really good condition.
