Re: rough idle/misfire without fault code
Last Poster: mjmallia in Mk5 General Area on July 07, 2025, 08:30:52 am
Yes and no.
The rings I mentioned gave a lumpy idle that sounded like a misfire, but the car was not misfiring due to a lack of oil pressure to the cam phaser not being able to manage it correctly.
I also had a misfire on cly4 due to carbon build up but still that was not registered as an error code but could see the count and hear it also.

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. My camshafts look worn out, pitted and rusted so la
Brake pads - which type?
Last Poster: slipd in Mk5 General Area on June 30, 2025, 07:19:03 am
Hi guys,
Is there a way of finding out which brake pads you have? I notice on most of the part sites that there are a couple of variants. I've got a standard, 1.6 FSi BLF.
Thanks!

I have an Edition30 GTI and enjoy modding, but I just didn'#039t want the noises and hassle associated with swapping out for an aftermarket one (including fuel trims and the fact the EA113 is an ugly ass engine which needs the nice OEM cover over it) - it only really works well on naturally aspirated

Always feels good when another enthusiast gives you a thumbs-up.
I often(-ish) drive past Blandford. That A354 to and from Salisbury is a good fast road when traffic conditions allow.

Very interesting thread and thanks for posting the finished result!
I have always disliked the Mk5 GTI instruments because they are so difficult to read!! Obviously the rev counter is easy to read and I can hear the revs anyway. My solution to the speedo is to have a Road Angel with digital display in line-of-sight centrally at the base of the windscreen. The OEM speedo

'quattro' GTi Possible?
Last Poster: Marticus in Mk5 General Area on June 23, 2025, 08:23:55 am
Hi all,
As I'#039ve been on the lookout for a replacement engine, an A3 8p has come into my local breakers with a BWA engine, but it'#039s also quattro.
Doing a 4wd conversion is something that'#039s been sitting in the back of my mind for a while, so I'#039m wondering if it worth grabbing some of the other components at the same time.
Obviously they'#039re the sa
