P0171 and P0441

Afternoon all,
I'#039m after a bit of help diagnosing an issue. I recently got the P0171 Fuel Trim System Lean code. Cleared it and in a few days it'#039s not returned. My question is could this be related to the P0401 code I get intermittently? The P0441 code throws up every few months, since I got the nbsp car (around a year and a half ago). I always figured that was something

Hi All I wonder if someone could help me, I have just bought a 2006 GTI, with low mileage,I’m going through all of the small faults and trying to rectify them. I noticed when the alarm is set off the hazards flash but no siren sound, so I swooped the siren for a newer one but still no sound, after checking the fuse diagram I found that fuse no17 for the alarm was blown so

Before any remap, make sure your car & engine are up to date with regular maintenance. IMO, it'#039s better to get the DSG mapped at the same time as the ECU remap. It will cost more, but most tuners will offer a discount if you do both at the same time. The remap wakes up the whole car/engine, but to get the best out of it, DSG tune should match for the best launch strategy &
Re: What shall I do? New turbo, 2nd hand turbo or reconditioned turbo?

Buy new. I reconditioned my K04 after I torched the engine and noticed there was alot of play in the shaft when taking it all apart. It cost ~300 euros total for new core and balancing, nice china core I bet as original BW K04 core is around 750-850EUR. Lasted a good 6 months before it seized completely a few weeks ago. You could only spin the shaft in the opposite direction to wha

I know this is an old thread but I have a 2.0 TFSI Audi A4 with GIAC Stage 3 K04 tune Autotech HPFP and Golf R injectors. Attaching the log after adjustment. After adjustment (1.5 nut turn looser) It no longer goes limp after reducing the spring press on the wastegate which is great but I do feel like I hear a leak and it struggles to maintain spec sometimes. https

Black cover is part number 6Q6955435D
Genuine ones range from £12-15 online
Not sure how much it is direct from VW but can’t be that much difference.

Full FIS Menu accessibility
Last Poster: Simeonv in Mk5 General Area on May 17, 2024, 07:11:44 am
The car is a 05 plate MK5 BKD with retrofitted highline clocks and updated CAN Gateway so I can use the RNS 510. I'#039ve red numerous themes about accessing the FIS menu through the wiper stalk (no MFSW) but didn'#039t get to the bottom of it. Everywhere it'#039s stated that by holding for a couple of seconds the up/down buttons on the stalk enters the menu but it does nothing on my end, j

Wahoo! Glad to see it's back on the road.
Really nice wheels, I'd consider those myself if I could decide on a colour. Looking forward to the inevitable K04 swap, looking to do that too soon :)

Hi all,

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
