Mk5 General Area / Re: Ignition stuck

« Last post by Kakashicoc2015 on December 02, 2025, 12:34:27 am »

Yup, it's know to happen on VW's, many broken keys and ppl getting stuck in some remote area. Just had mine changed a few days ago, aftermarket one, guy came home, 130 GBP and 40mins later fixed and smooth as butter (this is EEU prices so expect more in the UK I guess). You'll need a new barrel and keys recoded if you don't have Immo off I think.

Cheers, I rang a local auto locksmith and they were saying I need to have the door locks changed aswell, do you know if this is needed?

I had same issues. Had Ignition barrel replaced. Did not need new keys.

Lowest quote I found (London) was £250 with 6 months warranty. Used a new part.

If you are based in London, you can reach out to my locksmith Muhammad on 07752548020. Decent fella.

Hello,

What do you mean with the step:
The wire plug for the DV was already in the correct place, we only had to disconnect the extension wire. Easiest bit to do, really.

For the diverter valve relocation

Yea my bad, didn’t realize there was a difference. I just did some research and found that some left hand drive models have this noise reduction pipe. On the top left underneath that pipe is my diverter valve.

I am only really familiar with the UK Ed30........same layout as an S3 8P.

It may be a real one as you say it is a German import.....I could not say, as we never got the noise pipe thing in the UK.

It should be a german import. I am from the Netherlands. Is there a difference maybe between uk and german ones?
Or is there any way to check if my ed30 is real? It’s even registered as a 230hp ed30?

No, this car looks to be an import as it has that noise pipe thing in the way that the UK cars for sure never came with.  There is a lot of info on US sites, as they get removed and blocked.......red box.....there is usually a pipe that routes where that noise pipe is and goes to the DV in the front of the engine.

It does not look like a K04 engine either, as I am unable to see the DV so do not believe this is a genuine ED30 in my opinion.....def not a UK one!

How to Guides / Troubleshooting / Edition 30 ramair intake EVAP hole

« Last post by LarsG on November 30, 2025, 06:35:19 pm »

Hello,

I just installed the ramair intake on the MK5 GTI edition 30. A problem I faced was that the (EVAP?) hole wasn't in the correct position for the (EVAP?) cable. It's underneath the hole and can't reach it since the space to put it on is way too tight. (See pictures). Is there something I am doing wrong? I think the car has a PCV delete, could this have anything to do with my cable being in a different position or anything?
What I've temporarily done is plug both the cable and the insert hole, but it gives a very loud flutter which I don't think is a normal thing haha
