    Whats happening to my car?

    Mk5 GTI stage 1 (08) FSI engine...only does this at cold start. Some people mentioned PCV valve but I just did that less than a year ago. https://packaged-media.redd.it/ghjq3q5uoyvb1/pb/m2-res_1280p.mp4?m=DASHPlaylist.mpd&v=1&e=1698102000&s=e716b1621427eb366c664c1df818d71b2c9f8dcd#t=0 Thoughts?

    What would cause a car to rev high when starting and immediately fall down?

    Video example here My mk5 gti (stage 1 APPR) did this two times yesterday upon startup. The second time the battery light came on. Just put a new battery in it less than 6 months ago, but my mechanic did instal defoulers bc my O2sensors kept going out. Could it be the alternator or maybe a...

    Changed the upstream O2 sensor (mechanic thinks it’s the downstream now) but the other 4 codes popped up

    Turned out it was the DV! After the tune it must've gone out. Car runs perfect now!

    Thanks, I will ask. Having the mechanic check the N75 and DV as well. He owns 4 gtis so I trust him completely.

    This helps! Would the smoke test from last time show this? The same code is pooping up so I can assume its the dipstick holder? But its such a small area to set off that code...we are checking the wastegate and the n75 sensor as well

    Changed the upstream O2 sensor (mechanic thinks it’s the downstream now) but the other 4 codes popped up

    Last time he did a smoke test and said it was <1 psi of air that was coming from the dipstick which needs to be replaced (the suction is gone). Could that possibly be it? Can you explain what you mean by "They are all Lambda based which is reported by the B1S1 O2 sensor that was replaced?" A few...

    Any idea why these last 4 faults are showing up? Mechanic is booked up and very far and I'm not sure how urgent this is

    Somethings up with my O2 sensor

    Turbo underboost is a shadow code for the O2 sensor (from my mechanic) but that was just done in January- brand new. Any ideas what this could be/ why it’s happening. He asked me about my CAT which has never been replaced. The last time this CEL came on was almost 3 weeks ago, I cleared it and...

    How S.O.L am I if I cant find any record of a DSG service?

    08 MK5 GTI. I've had it for a couple years but JUST found out now that it needs and DSG service every 60k or so. It's at 104k and I cant find any service records from the previous owner and I've never done it. I dont drive hard at all, just took it to stage 1 about a month ago and I'd say i...

    Started the car (mk5 GTI fsi) this came up....

    I guess you will find out soon enough, some of those Dtc need two drive cycles before they turn the Mil on. Welp, it just came back on (08825- Intake Air System). Its the only code. Mechanic thinks it may be intake manifold, vacuume seal or boost leak :(
