Bit more progress today:  Finally got the rest of the front end off. Some of the bolts are too rusty to recover I think, and the front impact bar is also pretty grotty, so I'#039m thinking I will probably just replace that.

I havent touched the vac pump and no ETA when I'#039ll get to it as I was busy fitting S3 brakes front and back and refreshing the turbo with an anti surge core. I'#039ve replaced the 3 plastic rings around the VVT adjuster but no difference. I have massive misfires on cyl 3 when idle. It sometimes logs 20, sometimes 80 before it reset.

Brake pads - which type?
Last Poster: slipd in Mk5 General Area on June 30, 2025, 07:19:03 am
