[EP5] Golf GTI MK5 Intake Valve Clean - Golf GTI Mk5 Build 

A few more tips with refitting the injectors: 1. The little white seal at 12:29 is impossible to get on with your fingers. The only way I could get it on was to soften it with a heat gun (or warm/hot water), lay it flat on the table, then push the injector down on to it. Even then it took a couple of attempts, the first attempt stretched it out a little, then managed to get it on on the second or third attempt. 2. The injectors are really snug and I couldn't push them in with my bare hands. So I pressed each of them in using a small flat metal plate resting against them so I could get more weight behind them. 3. The retainer at 13:28 was also tricky to push on. Once you've got it under the clips, you can use a 16mm deep socket on an extension to push it on evenly and around the injector. Thanks again for all the help. Just finished the job today, and couldn't have done it without this video.

Superb tutorial, cheers mate, have to tackle this job on my edition 30. Thank you 🙏🏻

You can remove the dipstick tube for more clearance by going under the car and hitting the lip of the dipstick tube up towards the sky. Make sure you have something flat when hitting it so that you don’t chip the plastic off and make sure you’re lightly tapping it until you hear it come loose. Hope this helps!

So glad I got rid of mine! Between the 30 tubes and hoses and 5 different kinds of bolt heads.... could they have made this any more complicated?!

great series mate!!

I’m def going to perform this on my ‘06 tfsi. It should be running excellent after , since I already did the timing chain myself and everuthijg

I did this myself. Thanks for the helpful vid. Its a def a diy, as long as you have the correct tools. Def get the injector replacement kit, because the original plastic things will brake. I changed the injectors too. A bit expensive, but worth it. I found the throttle body screws the hardest. The so called demon bolt is actually easy of you remove the dipstick and have a thin triple square 10 mm. Other than that, is not even that hard. Edit: what helps is first scraping it off while still dry, vacuüm out, and then use the chemicals for the last bits.

what is a number of injector orings?

blast it

Another great how-to, keep ‘em coming!

Were you not tempted to remove the swirl flaps?

For the Satan bolt you can get it off by jamming in a long 8mm round-head allen key. The dipstick was the way for me and I wasn't sure how to remove it without breaking it, and it got in the the way off the triple square socket. The allen key was thin enough to get between all the pipes, and the bolt isn't on terribly tight so if you jam it in hard enough it shouldn't round out the bolt (too much). Add a box spanner to the other end of the allen key to give you some extra leverage when cracking it off. Thanks for the great tutorial.

Why didnt you do swirl flap delete kit ?

So did the oil catch can work, when was it installed?

Is that a metal brush you used? Also how hard was placing the seal on those injectors?

Where did you buy those seal kit?

What do those plastic seats do for the injector,bcs i broke my today..?

Great video. Can you leave those flaps out.

good work /and not so easy/ , the reason for carb is overused pcv -oil separator - you should replace it asap otherwise carb will appear on the intake, valves quickly

Can you make a video on that oil catch can

Hey mate I just brought a mk5 gti-v 2006. I brought it as a project car and was just wondering what you thought would be the best thing for me to do to it straight away as a preventative maintenance move cheers

And no one should ever spray shit into this engines. Avoid that all at costs!!

No grease is needed
