UPDATE: So I have replaced the timing belt system, and the tapping isnt gone, but something i believe i forgot to mention, last time i checked the oil filter there appeared to be some silicone bits stuck to it, i believe the previous owner did some shady repairing with silicone and it ended up in the engine, so we went and checked the oil pump, which seems to be clogged, weird, bec

I had the same issue a couple of weeks ago. Checked the DV, PCV, N75 Valve, checked the fuel trims (hoses etc…). Ended up being a cracked turbo exhaust side. It was a hairline, but after replacing it all was good. Not saying that that’s the issue in your case, just something to be aware of. Start by checking the boost hoses, if they are oily it could mean that here is a leak. Speci

I've been told by an upholsterer that the stitching is different (weaker?) on the airbag side compared to the other side so you should state that when selling really.
Definitely good info…I will check the inside of the cover to confirm this. Thanks!

Sneak peak today. Went in for a seat fitting so they can weld in the seat mounts in the best location for me. Unfortunately I took terrible photos but looks great so far. Tubing is as close to the chassis as possible, welds look beautiful and the bends are super smooth rather than sharp and weak. Still lots to do of little jobs but the big job is done, need to start working

So,went to Cadwell park on Sunday to watch the racing, it was a wash out and car parks were water logged! When I went to leave got stuck on the wet grass and tried turning ESP off to help traction. No beuno! No matter what I did with the button it wouldn'#039t turn off.
Had a look on eBay for a button and it was a minefield, from a Chineseum special for £8.95 to nbsp Lithuani

Second project within a week was fitting a set of Bilstein B8 shocks. I was already running H&R springs so they should work well together from what I’ve read. Opted for the MK5 shocks as it’s not a daily driver. I’ve been for a short drive round the block and first impressions are very good. The car

Hi guys. So I have a nasty leak on my end cap and I will be sorting that out in a next couple of days. I have a couple of questions. I took a look and it seems that the shim I seated after the cap. Should it be the other way around? Next thing I will be needing a part number for the cap. The car is 08. 6speed manual. And the last thing the oil. I can get the G 052 171 A2 from

Sold 2008 Volkswagen Golf GTi Edition 30 - Steel Grey - 5 Door - Stage 2+ (DSG) £10995.00 Location: West London Collection Only
Hi all,
For sale is my 2008 Volkswagen Golf GTi Edition 30 (DSG). I am the 2nd owner from new and have owned the car since November 2021. The car was near enough stock when I purchased it and I have upgraded it in my ownership.
- 5 door. - DSG. - Steel Grey. - 76,000 miles (will rise as still in use). - FSH - last serviced December 2023. - MOT - Expires 7th March 2025. - Xenons. - Heated seats. - Highline MFD. - Arm rest. - MFSW. - RNS510. - Folding mirrors (heated). - Rear parking sensors.
In my ownership I have had the following maintenence completed:
- Serviced 3 times (2 full services, one oil and filter change). - Cambelt and waterpump. - Thermostat replaced. - DSG service. - Genuine cam chain and tensioner. - Genuine cam follower changed at every service. - Genuine oil pick up pipe. - Rocker cover gasket. - Genuine PCV. - Genuine Diverter valve. - Subframe spacer kit. - Brake vacuum gasket. - Varta E44 heavy duty battery. - New rear wiper switch. - New folding mirror switch.

I've just spent circa £2.5k on the suspension components refresh.
I have spared no expense on ensuring the car is mechanically sound.
Being honest, the car could do with the wheels being refurbished. There is general wear and tear on the car which is expected for the age, the car is approaching 16 years old. There are some minor dents and scratches. The front end does have some stone chips. The inner sills have some slight blistering to the paint. The MFSW buttons work intermittently but I have bought the new control module but haven't had this fitted yet. The cruise control is also intermittent and I have purchased a new stalk, but haven't fitted this yet. Parts will be included in the sale, or if I have time, I will get them installed before sale.. Front and rear dash cams & pioneer double din are not included in the sale.
If you are looking for a well sorted car which mechanically has been looked after well, this is a good car to purchase.
I am in no rush to sell, only considering selling to upgrading. No part exchanges please.
The pictures are prior to the installation of the coilovers, I will upload new pictures once I have detailed the car.
I'm looking for £11,495.00, I paid just under this when I bought the car stock.
Please let me know if you have any queries.
Kind regards,
Sharif
2 x Mk5 Gtis being broken, West Midlands £0.00 Location: Walsall, West Midlands Postage: £0.00 Delivery or Collection
I have, in annoying and frustrating circumstances, ended up with 2 Black Gtis that are both dead on my drive, both for engine reasons, so I couldnt even get away with making a good one out of the two, and have had to replace them both with an R32!
I will start pulling them apart and will list stuff separately as I have the chance, however, due to lots of stuff that is going on at the minute, that may take me ages, so I thought a general post about both being broken may be helpful for anyone who is after specific bits etc.
One is an 05 5 door, block and head are totally scrap. Was in daily use until a couple of months back when the engine lunched itself. Pretty much all standard. Of note off the top of my head has: - Heated Leathers in decent condition - Standard Grey Leather Gti Steering wheel - 17" Monzas with decent Tyres - Midline Clocks - Generally things are pretty tidy, so anyone who needs standard bits like engine cover, trim, light covers etc etc etc, they might be of use to you.
One is an 06 3 door, with a few more tasty bits and pieces on, but that has been sat for longer. Again, engine itself is lunched. Again, from the top of my head there is:
- Heated Cloth interior in not bad condition - Black MFSW - Cat Back Stainless, although the cat itself was getting borderline on MOT passes, so maybe just the backbox of use - 18" Monzas - Neuspeed Intake - Twintercooler Setup - Reversing sensor setup rear bumper etc - Highline clocks
There will be other decent bits on both - As I say, I am working a bit off memory at the minute.
I just need the cars gone, so once I get started, really I just need it all out the way, so not especially bothered about getting top dollar for bits, I just need the space back, but know that the bits on them both are too good to let go for scrap.
I am based just outside Walsall in the West Midlands, but work in Cardiff, so go there most weeks, and am happy to take stuff there (or meet people in between).
Shout if any questions, and as I actually get stuff off I will get pictures up, but if people want me to get pictures of anything specific, let me know and I can do. I am actually listing this right now when I am away from home with work for a few days, as thats the only way I actually get time to, but feel free to send me questions etc and Ill answer best I can, then send pics when I get back.
I dont love posting car bits out - There is too much room for stuff to get damaged, go missing etc - I would much rather collections, or meet you somewhere etc in an ideal world, but it can possibly be arranged on some stuff.
