Great project! I really enjoy reading it.
I'm working on an mk3 4motion project, and i'm using an Gen2 Haldex.

I'm trying to figure out how the controller works, because it needs the ABS signals, and what i am told is that the signals from mk2/3 ABS sensors are not the same as that from an mk5.

How are you going to setup your haldex controller?


Keep up the good work!

:thumbup: TNX

:( I'll be using a complete wire ring harness from a Quattro car, and about the ABS signals... I started something ones but gave up ;)
I will be doing something as Mario Bacher. You can see what he did on his web site http://www.golf2tfsi.de/html/2010.html :thumbup:

Thnx for the link!

As far as i can see he is still using his original abs sensors. If that's true i can keep the original sensors in combination with a mk5 abs pump for the canbus connection.

Looking forward to the next update! :thumbup:

No!!!
He is using an MK5 ABS magnetic rings and MK5 ABS sensors. The ABS rings are fixed on the CV joints. I guess you missed that :confused:

Thnx!! I see now :D

I still have the rear axle parts of the mk5. I'll check it out tonight!

OK so here is some work done. Finally we started painting :facepalm: The interior and the engine bay have been painted and in the next few days so should the outside ;)
















And some more parts:

APR HPFP




Audi S3 IC




and a NS MKV Offset Dashpod from ECS




Audi R8 fuel pressure valve




Audi Oil Cap :P




and the first thing I will change on my 2.0 TFSI





also updated mu garage with some tools ;)













The only thing that wories me is the size of the IC. It's a bit taller then the Rallye IC ?




but I think I'll find a solution :thumbup:

Nice project :thumbup:

paint looks great!

so much awesomness in this thread! :thumbup:

what does R8 fuel pressure ventil do? it must be important since it's made in japan and not eastern europe lol :rolleyes:
also, I'm sureprised to see the follower for HPFP (or what I think the part is) has an expiry date! :confused:

THANKS :thumbup:

The theory goes like this - The OEM fuel return valve opens at 130 bar and allows pressure to drop to 127 bar,then it starts building pressure back up again until it reaches 130 bar at which point the cycle is repeated. The RS4 valve does not open until the pressure reaches 136 bar and allows the pressure to drop until it reaches 130 bar before it starts building the pressure back up. So a stage 2+ map requests 130 bar of rail pressure therefore this mod should be beneficial, as it will help maintain 130 bar fuel rail pressure rather than fluctuate from 130 - 127 bar with the OEM system.
About the cam follower for the HPFP :eek: I juts saw that :confused: I really don't know :confused:

cool, I learned something new. cheers! :thumbup:

Glad that I could help ;)

Finally :D Some paint and clear coat :P































Only one thing I have to say:
Just the naked eye can see the real beauty of the finish :cool:

Also sone more parts arrived:

I bought NEW all possible screws




and a special ??? thing that goes underneath the fixing points of the front fenders




and another styling detail :P

then started cutting the MK5 dashboard ;)







and at the end I finally installed the brake lines :thumbup:













I painted the front lock carrier, lower cross member and completed the front end and the bonnet because I couldn't wait to see how will the car look at the end :P
