Rich, I see there's a full guide for refitting K04 DV but not a photo guide for K03 so I've made a quick one if you want to add to 'How To'?

has not been added to the main listing of howto's and should be called non ED30 DV removal and refitting.
also from the main listings the
DV K04 Removal and Fitting should be renamed to DV K04 ED30 removal and refitting.
IMHO

Your forgetting all the other VAG K04 car catered to on this forum inc the other Mk5 Golf K04 Turbo'd car.
As much as I love my Eddy there are a few other K04 cars.

ok dumb question how do I tell if mine is a K04 or K03 car ? its a 57reg GTI mk5
perhaps there should be two links in the front page

just my humble opinion to make it clearer

just my humble opinion to make it clearer
There is no need to mention ED30 when the turbo isn't solely for that car.
If yours is a standard GTI then it's a K03.
The K04 Turbo is in the Mk5 Golf special editions, those being the Edition 30 and Pirelli also the Audi S3 (8P) Audi TTS and Seat Cupra R and probably something else.
