I have a DSG 05 GTI at 95sh k
I cant find in the service history about a DV, PVC or CAM follower being changed
Going to buy them all myself and get them fitted by a pro (no tools or knowledge!!)
I found a thread identifying parts, just wanted to make sure for my year I'm ordering the right ones!
DV Revision G - Part number 06F 145 710 G
PCV Revision R - Part number 06F 129 101 R
Cam-Follower - Part Number 06D 109 309 C
Sorry for the noob questions
Also.... :ashamed: what does GTI FSI stand for :ashamed:
-
GTI
Grand Touring Injection
FSI
Fuel Stratified Injection
TFSI
Turbo Fuel Stratified Injection (at a guess)
Sorry don't know the part numbers.....
-
Part numbers are correct

Is Rev R the recommended PCV for a K03 car?

I don't know! Is mine a K03? I really need to learn the basics...:(

Standard gti is ko3 edition 30 and Pirelli are ko4.
Cam follower and PCV valve are a piece of piss to change, if I can do it anyone can.
There's a guide on here for cam follower change.
-
Thanks andy, I'll have a look for the guide on the PCV and cam follower. I have no tools, or knowledge on GTI's let alone engines. Would you recommend doing it myself?
-
If u have a day free and local backup (i.e. a mechanic friend) then why not. It's kinda just following logic, but have a smart phone with a guide for reference.
We all started some where, no tools would be kinda hard to start with.

I thought newer GTI's i.e. 2009 standard could be K04 too?

Nope, all Mk5 GTI's, AXX and BWA etc come with k03s.
Mk6 GTI (TSI ea888 engines) I believe don't have k03, they use an IHI unit which is a different designation.

By no tools, I mean no car specific tools. I don't have ramps or anything either. I have all standard tools. I know its probably nothing in comparison, but I'm a good mountain bike mechanic :happy2:

if you can fix a bike, you can fix a car, and if you can fix a car, you can fix a nuclear-grade submarine.
-
Get stuck in. With the money you save by DIYING it you will end up with a good selection of tools and may even enjoy it. I didn't have any tools/experience when i bought my car a year ago. I've learnt a lot i enjoy working on the car nearly as much as driving it.
-
I'd definitely enjoy it. I do all the maintenance and work on my mountain bikes - partly to save money, and also because...it's fun :smiley: Ok I'll definitely look into doing it myself then, thanks guys.

Honestly mate it's easy doable, just follow the guide make sure you've got everything you need.
The cam follower is a little daunting when you're soaking up the excess fuel but like I said follow the guide and you'll be fine.
The Pcv just screws off, the second from the right screw at the bottom is a bit fiddly so I'd recommend having a magnetic pick up tool i case you drop it or put a rag there to catch it. (Speaking from experience, took me 20 mins to find th fiddly barstewards lol)
There's a guide somewhere for removing the engine cover, it's easy like but it's worth reading to make sure you undo everything that needs to be.

THIS !!
Tho don't try a fix a radar system by just sticking a soldering iron and solder on the board in a huge blob...
-
Where do people recommend I get these parts from?
-
Just get them from VW
Here is the part number for the PCV gasket, you may want to change it also:
06F 103 483 E
-
Ok will do. Why do you recommend the gasket as well as the pcv?
My plan is to buy all the parts, then potentially replace the pvc(and possibly the gasket )and the cam follower myself (if it's not too challenging) , and then take it to a mechanic to fit the DV

I would have said to start with doing the DV yourself. I did a how to - http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,87824.msg893078.html#msg893078
The gasket is just a rubber seal, it will perish over time. If you're ever replacing any part on a car then you always replace the associated gasket along with it, just good practice.

Hm, I don't have axle stands...It is very tempting though. You recommend REV G? I see you had some problems with yours after installing it?
-
Axle stands are the cheapest things you can buy. Although I wouldn't like to admit it, before I got a set I used 4 bales of fire briquettes on the last car when I was doing the CV and they held strong. I do not recommend this! Get axle stands from the likes of micksgarage or a UK equivalent for around £15 because you're going to need them in the future.
I've used rev G and rev D. End of the day either will do the job. It's argued that rev G gives a better seal and therefore better performance but it would be miniscule and nothing worth noting.
G is also cheaper than D.
Get a G and check back on it in a year and look for splits.
I would also check that your current one is not split before you go changing it.
-
To be fair, I don't think I can hear a whistle and it seems powerful. With the scanner that I've ordered, will I be able to see if there is a loss of power?
-
a non vagcom will only show "errors" not "warnings" so it will check for major faults and prob won't read the VW under boost soft errors... :(

Putting it this way, I bought my GTI coming from a polo and never realised my dv was split because it was a powerful car.
Chances are if you have no proof of it being changed it is split.
Take it off anyway and check it. Do it early in the morning so you can leave the car jacked up and pick up a part from VW parts in a different car if it does need changing.

Ok will do, cheers!
