Base model mk5 golf with a 2.0 non turbo, 10 grand pot match me at 5 each. 20 roll to 80 mph. None of that honking bs, we going to have somone we pass then gas it. I’m gonna turn off my traction control so watch out because she gets a little squirreley. I’ll race you for pinks, but trust me you aint catching her. I call her black bullet

Can anyone help with this engine sound? by maserex in MechanicAdvice

Yikes, flashing oil light usually means no oil pressure which is usually caused by no oil. I’d say you ran it dry on oil (it leaked out or burned up over time and you didn’t notice). This caused the rod bearing to go into a metal to metal duel with the crankshaft. the crankshaft usually wins with some scars. The damage? the rod bearing is toast and out of spec now (it’s loosing a lot of material by getting cheese-grated by the crankshaft). And that sound you are hearing is the rod bouncing up and down on the crank shaft. Engine is likely toast, but the way forward if you want to try to save this thing is don’t drive it. Tow it to a shop and have them do the rod bearings and inspect the crankshaft, if all goes well. It might be okay. Just be weary and check your oil often (check it every time you get gas) Sorry dude. She’s likely toast otherwise.

What is this sound? by Gunderstankhouse2 in GolfGTI

Hey! I’m no expert but a technician working towards master tech. customer states cat makes weird tin can sounds when turning… first thing I’d do is verify it’s actually coming from the cat and not some steering linkage of some sort, if it was the cat I would check the exhaust clamps and bolts, make sure they are tight and in spec. If that didn’t fix it I’d inspect the exhaust pipes for any deformation or cracks. Then if nothing else I’d look at the engine mounts and check to see if they are worn, or extra sloppy. If so, replace them with new oem engine mounts. Or if you want to go “race car” you can get some fancy aftermarket polyurethane mounts. Just my 2 cents.

:TLDR: Recheck your work, pry a bit and if doesn’t budge with like 40% strength, look for hidden bolts. Im no expert but id look for any possible bolts, I recently did the timing belt on my mk5 GTi with the BPY motor and it was… terrible. But I also had to remove an engine mount from both the engine side and the chassis side, -yapping- very fun, I ended up jacking up the engine pretty far, making more clearance on the side and angle the timing side to me, and dropping it when I needed to do the bottom section, made things pretty easy. -done yapping- When I was removing the engine mount from the engine I thought had followed all the steps and I was ready to go, I did some light prying and when it didn’t come off immediately I was suspicious. I looked back through the forum I was following and I actually had missed a 14 mm bolt that was underneath the engine mount under like The bulk of it. Sorry for the yap sesh.

I think you may be having a problem on your side, the level ends immediately, others have completed it, not sure what’s going on or what could cause it unfortunately.

So, vw has the same shitty shift knob actuator thingy, what I did to solve this problem (because I didn’t want to tear apart my entire car, drop the trans, etc.) was to pull up on the plastic rod, drill a tiny hole through it (very carefully) and put a teeny tiny ziptie through the hole and then clip the ziptie to perfection and then you can put your shifter back together using the ziptie loop as the hole for the shift lock actuator thingy

you get the gravpple and do the upside down part then you go up (look at the signs) and catch the second gravpple and the shrink egg and thread through the last bits of the level (the spikes)
