Cant wait to see what you will do to this beauty compared to mine. Rust is sooo common on these. The bonnet tends to be loose and is common also the boot will be too. Another thing that's common is the interior buttons tend wear out overtime as well. Highly recommend to change the factory air filter box as they can be worn out easily
Still tempted by one of these 🤔 Great video as always! 👍
Very good buy, very nice car. The rear bumper been resprayed it got a slightly different shade than the rest of the car. Dirty engine on an old car is always a good sign, some people wash the engine to hide oil leaks before selling. Love your channel 😎

@TR Hamza definitely install the MK5 R32 3" catback exhaust from Milltek sounds good, looks good as well with the R32 rear bumper valance also install a cold air intake kit, remove the sound deadening material under the bonnet, RS style bonnet air vents functional for the cone air filter to get more cold air and keep the cold air feed

There’s a sponge which gathers water behind the wings exactly where the rust is
The 17s work better than the 18s which bend and you also get pinch flats on them. Also acceleration is faster with less rotating mass - I think it made about 1 sec difference 0 to 60 in a test here in the US.
Cool car dude 😎
My engine bay cleaned perfectly. That’ll clean up well

VW give a 12 year corrosion warranty, if you can demonstrate the rust is 'through rust' and is rusting from the inside out, they will replace the body panels for free. I had both front wings replaced a couple years ago with genuine VW OEM wings, painted to match the colour of the vehicle, all I paid for was the doors to be 'blended in' to the new wings. Think it cost me around £50... The issue with the Mk5 wings, is that there is a foam type pad on the inside of the wings, i think for sound dampening purposes, as this gets dirty and wet from water and spray from driving, it holds the moisture and rusts the metal from the inside out.
@kpbmx
5 жыл бұрын
worth noting (as i found out recently), that the original paint needs to be untouched, ie no previous repair, otherwise VW can refuse. Ended up googling and getting a pair of colour matched, insurance approved wings for £180 total from Lothian Autoparts, quality is top notch, cannot recommend high enough! A relatively simple bolt on job at home.

@@chrise202 Absolutely not, I was the 3rd owner of my Mk5 golf. Upon inspection, they will check the paint depth, and if it is clear the panels which are experiencing through rust, have been painted already, they won't do anything for you. However, if the paint depth is as it should be, and the car has not been painted independently of the dealer, they are obligated to replace any body panels suffering from through rust by VW's 12 corrosion warranty. They generally make money from it anyway as they carry out the work - paint panels, fit them - and then bill VW for the work.

I have a red 2006 2-door that's just about to roll over 200K. I have to say the car has held up phenomenally well, imo. No rust for me in Maryland. Main issues in 200K miles have been: failed fuel pump cam follower at 130K miles, failed turbo at 115K miles, failed oil filter flange gasket beginning at 175K miles, airbag light due to loose connection under passenger seat, one failed wheel bearing, failed front swaybar end links, headliner starting to sag, one failed HID bulb, and (lol) failed hood strut. That's really it. Everything else has been maintenance. Especially amazing to me is that the DSG still shifts like new and is on original clutch packs. You treat these cars well and they will last. I even pulled the oil pan off a little bit back and found rod play to be well within spec, no play in balance shafts. Compression still checks out at nearly 180psi. Like, I see no reason why the car won't go another 100K miles tbh

@@QB-23 That's 100% dependent on how well the previous owners maintained the car. I will say that 2010 should have the earlier TSI engine which to my understanding is less reliable at super high mileage than the older FSI or newer TSI, but I don't have a lot of experience with it.

Open the front doors and see if there's rust on the sills where the wings bolt on. My old one had that problem.
If I was going to do this as a project, I would do it in the following steps: 1. Rebuild Engine 2. Change all fluids 3. Slap on Milliteck exhaust system with r32 exhaust tip. 4. R32 rear bumper/diffuser 5. BBS rims or something different 6. Upgrade steering wheel. 7. Install xenon lights 8. Light professional tints. 9. Replace screen with the original VW MK5 GTI/R32 FULL colour SAT NAV screen. And loads more lol.
nice idea . not every1 can afford 30k upwards for a new car.
You can retrofit cruise control for under £50 as you’ll already have the correct module being DSG

The wings were recalled on the mk5 as the sponge inside the wing holds water, callipers are painted and the front bumper is painted that’s why it’s peeled.
I think u should paint it red and fit 2 exhaust in the middle and black smoked lights
question on your M2 where did you get your rear spoiler and are you happy with it ?
I reckon the 5 door in this colour has aged really well

What about under the side skirts (underbody)? That's the typical rust problem right there with MK5 golfs.
Calipers came stock from the factory. It's called signal red. Also that cam follower is not happy anyone that knows G5 golf's you can tell from all the D.I motors across the Vag cars. Is it a BWE ? I wouldnt be surprised if it has a chocolate camshaft aka rev A especially being a earlier model. Dont forget the timing chain and cam belt sometimes overlooked particularly chain and tensioner. Look forward to seeing the results.

Just letting you know we all mk5 gti have. 11 year extended rust warranty on it, also you do not need to be the first owner go to your local Volkswagen dealership and ask when your car was purchased, for example my car was purchased in 2008 04/09 so the rust coverage is until 2019 04/09
