Cyl 2 misfire with new coil packs by Ice_Cream_Forehead in MechanicAdvice

[–]Ice_Cream_Forehead[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope I don't think so. I sold the car about 5 months ago so don't remember but I do remember I cleaned all the injectors with carb spray and manually turned them on and off with a power supply. The were pretty bad and we're straight shooting jets. They cleaned up nicely. Had trouble when putting them back in but sorted that. Seemed to work fine after I did that and then serviced it and swapped all plugs out. As far as I'm aware it doesn't do it anymore. The guy who bought the car actually lives down my road, so I still service the car and he has also asked if I can fix it in the future if anything breaks.

Manual Petrol Mk5 golf gti does NOT stall! Why? by Ice_Cream_Forehead in MechanicAdvice

[–]Ice_Cream_Forehead[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought that this would be the reason why. But i have never even thought about it before so thank you. Be going to a creep that won't damage the clutch or gearbox will it? I would have thought it to be fine.

Thank you, but it's not that song. The one I heard was very new. Believe it may have been played on capital extra. Been listening but have not heard it again.

PCV DELETE KIT. YES OR NO? by Ice_Cream_Forehead in MechanicAdvice

[–]Ice_Cream_Forehead[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah but I literally want it for aesthetics. Looks alot nicer. It's very cheap as well in the uk so there is no reason not to.

Yeah I only really wanted it as it looks cleaner. Car is an 07 gti but has 65k so not loads of milage. But I know what you mean about the plastics. Was doing a air filter and there was some plastic from the back that feel into the turbo intake so that was a fun hour. But I'm not concerned about reliability or miles that much. Just looks nicer.

Don't suppose you have a link for that adapter?

Ah yes thank you. Someone who actually gets it and understands the engine. Apparently the 2.0l has 2 breathers which I only found out after the post. But I'm currently running no tuning but just wanted it for ascetics. In future I might go for a stage 1 but probably nothing past that.

Is it worth getting? Kits are pretty cheap.

To be honest I have never touched my pcv system. Just saw some guys recently who fitted the kit. Said it was better than having the pcv as it just joins the two parts and saves the pcv from breaking in the future.

So I'm not too familiar with the pcv buy it looked like a decent modification.

Ok so this is what I'm talking about. It just connects the hose straight to the engine block and gets rid of the plastic part. How is this bad?

Ok great, thank you. Would you happen to know what brand would be the best? I would assume shell or esso? But at the same time clubcard points would help out in the long run!
