Got a flashing cel, cylinder 4 misfire, random misfire, low pressure fuel regulation and coolant control circuit fan error.

Took off more parts to get rid off =( also swapped over the DV from the mk5 to the b8 and the r8 ignition coils

Got tired of the stupid horn when locking the car so I disabled it.

 

[Moondoggy-47]

found this.

How much oil were you burning?

 

[Moondoggy-47]

It's burning a lot. Wondering if this is the cause of me smoking at idle. Trying to decide if I want a after market valve cover or another stock one.

 

[Audiopulse]

It probably is. Did you remove the cover just to check it? I was burning alot too and it was the valve cover. Here's a thread I made: http://www.golfmkv.com/forums/showthread.php?t=186289

 

[Moondoggy-47]

Actually removed it in an attempt to take out two broken valve cover bolts. That was just an added bonus.

Damn, I love the door cards man! That is slick looking!

At Moondoggy-47: I have the Eurojet valve cover and love it, But it requires a VTA cc to maintain function of the PCV system. Not to mention the cleaning and polishing any polished metal requires, its a little more "work" but so much happier than with the OEM.

 

[Moondoggy-47]

Yeah I already have a vta cc, so that's not a big deal. I may try and find a used one.

in the process of getting new tires, so i threw a spare set on. lowered it a little bit recently. sitting at 22.5ftg all around right now. Anyone have any recomendations on tires that stretch well? trying to do a 215/45 on a 17x9.5 nothing crazy

 

[Moondoggy-47]

I wanna be 22.5" all around.

 

[live4something]

technically it was yesterday, but installed these bad boys. Bedding process was.....extensive. SO worth it though. It's not a retrofit of any sort, but rather the Brembo GT kit 330mm 1 piece rotor

^^Congrats. Must cost a pretty penny.

Do you have pics of your car from a distance?
Want to see how those neuspeeds 17" look.

I am sort of interested in sizing down to 17's.

Thanks
