Just bought a GTI - Few questions

[bristol]

Im going to hook it back up later on. But if I dont like it, Yeah sure ill sell it to you no bud. Cars got 120k on it, but seems perfect, super quiet still. Mind you I think owts quiet, the engine in my other car is forged so when its not upto temp it has piston rattle.

Can anyone tell me what the little button in the rear driver footwell does? I pressed it and it didnt do alot lastnight. Also sorting the wires on the sterio seems to have cured interior light and door light problems.

Should have mirriors sorted now car will be on the road for £700, I call that a good deal

Brilliant mate drop me PM then when you have tried Ot out and let me no what your after for it.

120k is nothing for these cars as u properbly no,plenty more years motoring out of her left

Going to do the cambelt on it. Took the cover off and its pretty slack tbh, no doubt I could get half a turn out of it if the engine wasnt red hot. Is it hard to do on these??

not really but make sure you do the waterpump while in there 

[bristol]

Waterpump was done about a year ago on it. Didnt replace the cambelt tho  Just had a quick look down the side of the motor, seems to be fairly straight forwards just a little fiddly. Tomorrows job I think!

Splitter no longer pepper dashed with stone chips. Gave it a quick pass earlier on. Splitter is cracked in one section but nothing too bad. Ill just leave it tbh as its probably going to get battered with more stones/ speed bumps anyway. Car is alot tidier now. When its time to sell after all of these niggles are done with and ive found a new car to buy, how much should I be expecting it to fetch, was thinking about 1.5k?

Dumpvalve still doesnt fire. Has a little bit of compressor surge under low boost, but non on full boost. Maybe this DV is just quiet 

[bristol]

Its a forge splitter valve. Actually quite expensive it would seem. Apparently you can shut them up or make them louder by twisting the top, so il do that tomorrow see if I can get it to make some audiable noise rather than it decompressing back across the compressor and coming out of the air intake. Ive got a DV26 on my other car with a spring that doesnt fire untill 12psi, sounds amazing firing at 21psi but Ive read these need engines to be recirculated so I cant get one for this.

[hainesz]

the agu's can run a dv26 without bringing the EM light on where as the later models cant they have to have recirc or splitter valves... every agu golfs ive bought have had atmospheric dv's fitted and never had any issues whatso ever buddy

prob best not askin how much its worth when you told us you payed not far off 500quid
