Hi all,
I'm back again with my second MK5 GTI as I just can't keep away from these little pocket rockets!
Today I sold my car and bought the following MK5 GTI. I had spent weeks shortlisting the right car and every time I found the perfect car I was beaten to the punch. This morning I shortlisted it down to 3, a silver manual ED30, a Red base spec DSG and the car I bought, a Grey high spec DSG.
The car has 4 previous owners (I'm the 5th) and 88K miles with a decent FSH but sadly no evidence (not to say it hasn't been done) of a cam belt change, spec as follows:
-DSG
-Xenons
-Heated Leather
-Highline Clocks
-18" Monza II's
I've already ordered the following for tomorrow (except the last one which is being posted):
-6L of Mobil 10w40 oil
-Oil Filter
-Fuel Filter
-Cabin Filter
-STP Engine Flush
-Connects2 Auxillary Adapter (plugs into the CD changer and gives Aux input, worked perfectly in my last GTI).
I will be giving the car a service and flush tomorrow to make sure I know what is in there and that she is freshly serviced.
I have also left a message with a local garage (Motorserv Solihull) for a price on Cambelt and Waterpump.
I will be replacing the cam follower and related o-rings and also the DV for Rev G next weekend, and will check the PVC when doing the service tomorrow.
I have never had a DSG so would appreciate any advice you guys have!
The mods I am currently hoping to do are as follows:
-Black BBS CH Wheels
-Induction Kit (not too fussy which as long as it is a direct fit and has a heat shield, I am not going for max power with this car)
-Cat-back exhaust
-Coilovers and FRSU
Anyway heres the car:
