As a former rgv250 owner, I remember the happy times when I spent more on oil than petrol.
Those were the days. When i handed my wages to a Mr Stan Stephens to fettle my powervalve. 10mpg on a good day 
Re: Boost leak. What to check?
Last Poster: Pudding in Mk5 General Area on Yesterday at 04:01:46 pm
I would start with the Boost pipe O rings and go from there. There's 3 of them, one at the turbo end, one at the connection under the crank pulley and one at the intercooler end.
They are a strange double lip seal and tend to wear out, especially the middle one from all the engine movement.

Cant comment on the adapter lead - but for the power, you will need both constant live and switched ignition live feeds, plus an earth.
This shape / type of radio was used throughout the VAG brands - a cage adapter to suit the single/double din should be easy to source.
Are you wanting to use DAB? nbsp - If your current head doesn'#039t have DAB, you will need to lo

Clutch out noise stops, press clutch RATTLY NOISE starts until pressing clutch all the way stops noise. In my mind it's DMF but generally DMF noises are with clutch out and stop with clutch depressed.
With clutch halfway pressed it's LOUD!
What do you think?

Holy metal crumbs batman, I'#039ve just seen the carnage pics. nbsp They look suspiciously like the thrust bearing remains we were talking about to me, which might explain the gear engagement issues, aka, crank walk.
The thrust bearing on these engines is a terrible design, basically only half a bearing compared to the usual standard. nbsp I pity the later EA113 engines with the

I only found that out myself when shopping for one nbsp  nbsp I find ECS tuning'#039s site is great for getting part numbers etc and they list all compatible vehicles so that you can search for , say a Skoda version, on ebay, which is usually way cheaper nbsp  Will do.

The scan tool output test bypasses all external controls, and the fact that didn'#039t work points to a problem elsewhere. nbsp Wouldn'#039t hurt to replace the sensors anyway if you think they'#039re misreading/not functioning.
Have you scanned the HVAC controller as that is also tied into the fan control? nbsp You say it doesn'#039t have AC....as in you'#039ve removed it, or it was never f
Door Module Part Numbers
Last Poster: Willy599 in Mk5 General Area on June 24, 2022, 11:39:15 am
Would anyone have the part numbers for the min versions of the front two door modules (5 door) or even have a set?
My car has a mismatched pair in it so I'm assuming previous owner tried to put in powerfolding mirrors but now I don't get auto windows so would like to swap them back.

Well -
I got the tracking done over a week ago, the nearest 4 wheel alignment place is Kwik fit over the hill, I have a pre-paid alignment package in place costing £150 that I thought I had 3x 4 wheel alignments in 2 years, already used 2, this time being the last. I thought I may have gone over the time limit...
When the guy called, I nervously asked if there was a cha

You can buy genuine service books on eBay, stamped with dealer (or like dealer) stamps. You just tell them what you want.
I would never falsify a history, but if you have invoices you can recreate a service book using that data. You could even tell buyers it was a duplicate. As a buyer, a replacement service book that was stamped up, with supporting invoices, would be fi

Welcome Sounds like your car has been treated well. Don't spoil her too much though as they can be ungrateful wenches at times. It was probably me who put you off the RacingLine intake I'm glad my dissatisfied ramblings got to at least one person
