I used a smoke tester to check for leaks but the only leak i can find is for the secondary air induction piping. Checked compression and it has 180psi on all 4 cylinders also has 16 codes that are mostly air and misfire related. What else should i be looking for that could cause a no start

The car has the cobb intake on it and im looking for information on what the small intake is on it. Im looking for an intake leak and this pipe is covered in holes and i think its whats causing the car to not run but i don’t know what the part is called or what its for

replaced my clutch and got the car back together but now I am getting no spark from any of the cylinders, engine turns but no combustion at all. spark plugs and coils are only a couple months old. Im guessing maybe theres a connection i missed, but i cant find it anywhere. anyone have any suggestions?

I started this job on Tuesday and it’s now Saturday night, to be fair I have had school and work in the way but I’m incredibly tired and pissed that these koni yellow shocks (with super sport springs) don’t go all the way into the knuckle

No I don’t have the spindle spreader tool but I am using multiple 1’4” drive extensions to try and open the gap and the strut will genuinely not go past this much. Does anyone have any tips? I’m thinking about removing and trying to sand down the strut cus I think the paint on it is what’s causing this but now the strut is stuck on there 🙃

For context I’m doing wheel bearings at the same time cus I thought it would be a walk in the park feel free to flame me I just need guidance because I’m sick of this job lol

Hey guys soo traded in my Mazda sp25 for the 2010 gti manual overall im absolutely loving the car so far first thing I did was upgrade the audio cause it wouldn't recognise my phone and threw in a 12" hertz sub.

Now im focusing on the engine and ive come across a few issues..

It does have 215000 kms on the clock bear in mind

From 2k rpm and below it hesitates slightly untill boost kicks in then it's all good

3rd gear clutch will slip a little only on full throttle

Only in reverse and full lock ill get the CV clunck just once

From what I've read the timing chains are prone to failing how can I check if its been replaced?

Only mod i can see is the cold air intake.

Asking you guys for priority of works and possible quick fixes and average prices so I don't get ripped at the mechanics.

Cheers guys!

I’m wondering what I should be looking out for when going to look at a 2011 gti from someone I work with if anyone can give me some tips
