Re: Mk5 gti Shakes at idle
Does it show a missfire at that stage ie. Check in vagcom if the missfire counter is adding numbers.
Do you know the history of the car. Maybe the balance shafts have been removed.

Re: Mk5 gti Shakes at idle
That can even be the pcv valve playing up. Dirt cheap from goldwagen. Under R300 so change that first.

Most probably the PCV. A weakspot on the TFSI motors. They hold up even worse with increased boost, so if you intend on modding, I would suggest a PCV delete with a catch can. It is significantly more expensive, but definitely worth it in the long run.

Rather spend R200 more and buy the OEM replacement from VW direct imo.panic-mechanic wrote: ↑Mon Apr 15, 2019 10:26 am That can even be the pcv valve playing up. Dirt cheap from goldwagen. Under R300 so change that first.

Everyone to their own, but in my experience, the oem part is superior.Calvinmk5gti wrote: ↑Sun Apr 21, 2019 2:25 pm Thanks guys going to get a new pcv this week and hope it resolves the issue,however will the goldwagen product work as wel as the orm part?
