hmm troubles in jetta land with mechatronincs/pistons even on newer models. Same old story when I revisit the thread. All too common. With that said I have other issues. Pretty sure I have old model injectors since I am a 2010 model but pistons holding in there. I did have an issue a little while ag...

cqk4

Yes it does thanks. I will be looking at my intake pipes and attempt manifold removal next weekend. Heard it takes a long time and is alot of work. I hope the injectors on my mid 2010 is the new ones that don't have that spray issue.. I doubt since I have no fuel pressure issues and stuff. Have to f...

lol italian tune. I had cleaned my throttle body and intake sometime ago @ 40k and it wasn't so bad. But the oily residue was there coating everything, I would love to take a look at my valves tho @ 60k miles. I looked at a catch can but could not find one with all the correct fittings and mounting ...

cqk4

Anyone ever did a decarbonizing of valves in their tsi ? or any cleaning of sorts for the intake..
or had to drain their intercooler.

Looking for that but not sure the name..

I used Dunlop Direzza, Michelin Pilot and GoodYear Eagle F1 on my 3 series when I had it. The GoodYear was the best I ever had. Very sticky and when it rained I noticed they were better when braking. Maybe the F1 will be the next ones to try I used 225/45/17 dunlops but they were dz101's. Not very ...

LOL @ drchaos edition LOL Ok so got the call from the Ops Manager this afternoon. The sales advisor didn't even want to hint of the issue and said the Manager will call. Advised me that the vehicle lost compression and the Pistons will have to be replaced and the engine rebuilt. The positive thing w...

Hmm maybe Bess Auto should make DSG should be a stockable part..

urm ... my car still works really well, no mechanical issues. doing 40,000 Km. only issues was gas tank flap didn't want to open while at gas station then worked when i got home, small part changed by BA and one of the springs back seat drop down lever went out of place, fixed by BA. Its normal hum...

cqk4

Cool. Not to bring any more "chubble" here but you guys ever heard about the timing chain and tensioner issues on the TSI engines? Its rare (supposedly but so was the DSG problems lol) and causes a catastrosphic engine FUBAR. Basically your timing chain skips because of the wearing out of ...

cqk4

Yeah I got it scanned by both Dole and the firm. Dole said it may be that valve or the flap or electrical relating to the valve. The firm said it might be the divertor valve..but have to keep the car a couple of days to completely analyse. To which I couldn't let them keep it at the time. Doing som...

cqk4

Yep, I heard the BKR7EIX plugs work well. However I bought the NGK oe plugs PZFR6R Stock No. 5758 from the uk and re gapped it slightly to 0.75mm.. Some were between 0.9 and 0.8 so it didn't take much. I changed them recently but I haven't scanned for misfires etc yet. Will do so this weekend and re...

cqk4

Yep I did an engine wash recently with purple blaster and normal hose, no pressure washer business.

Good news, got my bsh stage 1 dogbone insert in yesterday. It was not easy though, the bolt took alot of strength to remove using the torque wrench and had to sorta rock the arm with a huge flat head while pounding the insert in. Took some time but it turned out good. You can feel very little more v...

cqk4

Coil packs are pretty hefty pieces of electronics, I was surprised when I pulled out one of mine and investigated it. So far since I pulled it I haven't gotten any issues with misfires etc, therefore I am going to swap out my plugs and do some more "fun" stuff this weekend!

cqk4

Hmm, sorry to hear that.. I have a mount on the way (I admit you made me want to try it) hopefully it goes well. I got a softer mount tho the BSH Stage 1 insert. Will let you know how that goes.

Did you try removing the bolt with a torque wrench ?

Nice and new water pump, found some used ones at the fraction of that price but this one will have the upgraded friction material and its a very important part. Good luck

PS. Do you know Italian ?

OK guys need some advice, got a replacement abs sensor from both amazon and ecs tuning. Now I installed it but the error lights on the dashboard are still remaining. I even tried the old sensor that was working intermitantly but now joy Does the error message have to be cleared with vcds? If so any...

@kingskid

What symptoms did you experience for the failing pump ? any noises ?

cqk4

Wow, trouble in Jetta land indeed (mecha, battery, coil packs, EPC lights) I am due for for a spark plug replacement since I am just over 40k on my 2010 mk5 tsi jetta. I monitor the car for misfires regularly since I am tuned however i have not seen any yet. The OEM battery is probably going on 4 ye...

Damn good mileage there man and real interested in intake temps with the upgraded intercooler.

Tried the vw uk recalls and it says Good news! no recalls for my mk5 j

yay!

cqk4

lol. I'm not sure about hype as well but I have used it in a few vehicles we owned (Mitsubishi, Toyota) and have not noticed anything odd. I recently checked my oil level after 5k (miles) and noticed a little burn off but its expected with my engine. The oil also looked brownish so it does indeed ha...

I bought OEM Golf/Jetta MK5 Lower springs from a VW firm in the US and had it installed by a local vw mechanic. Could have tried it myself but its a lot of work and I did not wish to do that.. I chose it over an aftermarket lowering springs setup because aftermarket ones tend to have a more dramatic...

I really wish I checked Southern sales lol... I just thought based on prices I got from the local euro auto places that oem filters would be over priced.. either way good job Allergic2BunnyEars on finding them. Unfortunately I bought like 4 from the UK from a OE manufacturer (Mann Hummel 712/90 - wh...
