The MK5 Golf GTI is a popular build for KZbinrs and yours being an Edition 30 should get plenty of likes, views & subscribers! If your planning on installing a decat or sports cat ensure you have uprated engine mounts (i.e. Powerflex inserts yellow/purple are perfect for road use, the black series is for track & will cause too much cabin vibration) as this will help with traction as well as eliminating the prospect of damaging your flexi. You want inserts for upper engine mount, lower engine mount, lower small bush & transmission mount (check mount design before ordering as there are two designs of the inserts). Once you eventually decide on upgrading the intercooler opt for a front mount wellycooler or Airtec intercooler! Ensure you do essential maintenance if your planning on keeping this car for the channel like cam chain, tensioner, cambelt, water pump & main thermostat if your car is not getting up to operating temperature and staying at 90 on the cluster (it should not drop below 90). Also, ensure you get walnut blasting & injector clean done by Rtech as they do a package deal when going stage 2+! Another preventative maintenance mod is to do the runner flap delete whilst having your valves walnut blasted as they are known to break & fall into the engine!

I had exactly the same work done on my Mk5 at R-Tech. Noticed no difference but just gives you some reassurance that hopefully nothing will go wrong! They are a great bunch of blokes & I would recommend them - particularly for anyone with a Mk5. Great video as always & keep them coming👍

I had the ballance shaft delete done last month at R-Tech. They are very thorough and did a great job. For those asking about more vibration or any differences, I didnt feel any at all. It doesnt feel like it revs faster, doesnt feel like it has effected the car negatively at all. I timed mine for when I needed an oil and filter change any way. Mati, im enjoying the journey with this one. Great content!
@matimcfetridge Жыл бұрын
Definitely makes most sense to time it with an oil change and I definitely agree it literally makes no difference to how the car feels regarding vibration!

How much was it with oil and filter change?
@jonnywhelbourn Жыл бұрын
@@samb394 I dont have the invoice with me but I think it was in the 400's including the oil pick up and some other bits. Worth giving them a call for your own quote incase your situation is different to mine.

Hi , nice vid 🦾 . Do you have dimensions for heat shields ?

I don’t, I’m afraid it will depend on which intake you have. A couple of quick measurements and a cardboard mock up will see you right!

Mati, could you give some direction on what aspects of the work was regular maintenance, and what was preventative maintenance? Would you have done any of the work if you were not going to be chasing extra power figures? Cheers in advance, brother!

Did you notice any more engine vibration after getting the balance shaft deleted?
@matimcfetridge Жыл бұрын
Must admit, I noticed absolute nothing whatsoever! Someone else said to expect more vibration but literally cannot tell the difference. Still stock bushes everywhere so maybe compensates a little?

looks more like 5mm of sealant, broke his own rule lol would love to see some one test differnt amounts as you see alot of people on youtube complain about the amount of squished out sealent, then when rebuilding seem to put on just as much. When ive seen the robots in thr factorys apply it looks about 3mm.
