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.

Updates updates.
So after loosing oil pressure during a track day some 8 months ago, I have been saving money and deciding how to proceed. I spend a long time with my heart set on buying a CDL block but after looking at a lot of expensive engines with no guarantee, or service history. Or '#039rebuilt'#039 engines that seem to have been assembled from random used parts and chea
Brake pads - which type?

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.

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.
