Its a 54 plate registered very late in December with 96000 miles, full service history and its near on immaculate and I definitely get the impression the previous owner looked after it just small things like goodyears all round,the extensive history an the tidiness of the bodywork and interior.

Looks great!
Any plans for mods or just enjoy it the way it is?

Thanks :happy2: yeah lots of plans for mods but just going to do the basics to begin with a decent service with millers nano oil, replace dv with a revision g, and replace cam follower, then enjoy it for a bit then after that I want to go stage 1+ with a ram air oversized induction kit and pre cat delete hoping for between 250 and 260 bhp with r tech. sadly I have limited funds as my kid and house has to come first :scared:
-
Sounds like a good plan. Yeah can understand family has to come first. Looks like a great base to start from though and very sensible getting the servicing stuff done first, that's the best thing you can do to keep it nice for longer.

picked up the car today :pomppomp: and I absolutely love it :smiley:
I took it straight back to the workshop and removed the dv before I even opened the bonnet and as I suspected
(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2Fa4ron922k81%2FMobile_Uploads%2Fimage_zpsmmz6ixnd.jpeg&hash=9c97a3098039464c14e23915b6377afba75727d5)
it was split in several places and it was a rev b so I wouldn't be surprised if its the original, I replaced it with a rev g that I had already ordered in ready and then road tested it, it was like a different car :driver:
I then changed the oil and filter I only used 5w30 fully synthetic long life c3 for now as I'm going to do a couple of 100 miles then replace with millers 5w40 cfs nanodrive as I wanted to give the engine a bit of a flush with some fresh oil first and the millers at £54 for 5 litres was expensive for a flush out. I have also ordered some NGK Iridium BKR7EIX spark plugs and a new cam follower and seal but I wont receive these until Monday. That's all for now just going to enjoy the car for the weekend and possibly detail it on sunday.
-
Nice job getting stuck in right away, welcome to the GTI life :laugh:
-
Nice one! :happy2:
-
so people sunday I gave the car a bit of a clean but I only had a couple of hours so sadly couldn't detail it but still not bad results

Then on Monday I fitted some NGK Iridium BKR7EIX spark plugs as they needed replacing so I thought id upgrade them. Now for the really bad news it seems my timing chain likes to rattle a lot once the engine is hot and it chatters sometimes on startup :/ so ive ordered a genuine chain and tensioner and gaskets etc ready to do it I'm just hoping its not oil pressure related as my mate is an audi master tech and he did suggest that's what it could be :( also if anyone has the cam locking tool and they wouldn't mind lending it out for the cost of postage it would be really appreciated.

more bad new for the golf today :sad1: not a good first week of ownership, got the cam chain cover off and I was greeted by this
(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2Fa4ron922k81%2FMobile_Uploads%2Fimage_zpsgq6sb7ub.jpeg&hash=3d520f273a0cd9c00454daed1181d127b8d7af21)
top ring had shattered on the chain covers variable valve controller :slap: rang tps and they want £360 for a new cover and said the rings cant be brought separately :confused: after a bit of research on the internet I found a vw part number 06f-198-107-a which I'm hoping is going to fit, theyre getting delivered tomorrow so will let you no.
please guys tell me there is some enjoyment in owning a mk5

Once you get these crappy common issues over with you'll be loving it :smiley:

I hope so because right now its very close to going already

Hang on in there Aaron, she will be worth it. Getting this bits done will make her love you back. I spent a pretty penny on mine in the first 6 months correcting those sort of bits. Now I have a base to start the serious stuff, once the finances allow. Like you, family comes first.
I like the depth of the paint on yours, I bet she'd look stunning after a bit of poor boys black hole. Not used it myself yet, but have seen the results on a mates Cupra R. Well worth a few hours doing.

I'm hanging in there at the minute and enjoying driving it even though my alternator makes a horrible noise every now and then I think the bearings are shot :doh: but I'm ignoring that for now and just enjoying it :smiley: yeah I've got some black hole glaze but just not had time for a full detail yet sadly but I did wash the engine bay this evening :happy2: I've got the millers nano stuff in it now and I have to say the engine seems loads quieter I highly recommend it

Welcome to the black 5 door club Aaron! Sorry your having a few teething issues but like the other guys said stick with it as it will be worth it in the long run. Have you figured what plans you have for your GTI? Loads of builds/project threads on here to give you ideas, including mine :happy2:

Getting through the teething issues now I've had a week with no problems :signLOL: and I've been loving actually getting to drive it. Got lots of plans but sadly not the funds to back it up so it will be a slow project. I've got some 35mm amax lowering Spring coming which I realistically expect to be 20mm as a temp until I'm ready for coilovers which I will fit tomorrow evening at work. Then I'm going to put a Ramair oversized induction kit, remove the precat and then off down to r tech for stage 1. Once I'm at that point I want some bbs ch reps 18" and coilovers but that's all for now really apart from odd bits like seat inlays, led bulbs etc.

Done a couple of little bits this week changed all the interior bulbs to white smd's (https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2Fa4ron922k81%2FMobile_Uploads%2Fimage_zps6vj4mss4.jpeg&hash=a7be5d89b11ed511feffeabad1f267d44be39366)

And of course some gti inlays for the seats

I also replaced the number plate bulbs for smd's but no pics off those and it's mid way through a full detail at the minute so not as dirty inside as in pics now ready for dubs at the hall this weekend
-
I have just ordered some led bulbs can't wait for them to land up, cars looking sweet!
-
Any updates on this?
-
sorry for lack of progress guys but I wasn't having much love for the car for a while but last week I decided I would sort all the issues and order some goodys. So for the boring bits I put 2 new outer cv joints on as they were both clicking, a new suspension leg on drivers side as it was knoking non stop, a new drivers rear wheel bearing, wiper blades and a cambelt kit and water pump and just doing this has made me fall back in love with it as it genuinely is as quiet and tight as a nearly new one. Now for the fun bits I've done a pre cat delete while I was doing the cambelt and you can really tell how much easier the turbo spools up, I've also ordered a oversized ram air induction kit, forge Pcv delete, dfb dv+, vent gauge pod and a boost gauge so these should all be here and fitted this week.
-
would you recommend the pre cat delete? thinking about getting it done next time I get chance on a ramp. noticeable difference?

Yes definitely it's not a huge difference but you can definitely notice the turbo comes in earlier
-
So a few of the bits have arrived and been fitted :grin:
And here's how they look

Love my engine bay now :driver:
Just got my dv+ and boost gauge to fit now then of to r-tech
-
Looking good there fella :happy2:
-
Fitted my boost gauge tonight I'm getting around 30hg on idle which seems high but I don't no if this is down to the Pcv delete and around 15psi peak boost and it holds around 10 does this seem about right on a stock mk5
-
Ordered a da polisher this week and I'm hoping to get it before Christmas so while I'm off I can do a correction polish and get some sealer on it as the dirt seems to be clinging on at the minute like my paints sandpaper. Also my o/s/f wing has started to bubble :sick: so going to look at getting a new genuine one
