Hi I have a 2017 Jetta GLI with factory sport suspension, I need to replace the shocks ,I was thinking Bilstein B6 or B8, which one you recommend? Thanks for the help!

BOX5INGH JG get a good mechanic to inspect it but if you can find one in good shape and are willing to keep on eye on it they are fantastic I bought a 2008 gti with the fsi engine and haven’t had any real problems

Thats the hardest i've laughed in some time with filthy frank and the bumper. Wow.

My biggest complaint with mk5's (speaking from long term ownership, ranging from gti's, gli's and my old Leon Cupra) is the suspension as a whole is extremely expensive, not even talking about after market. My wifes 08 tfsi has 215k miles, and we've spent more than the cars value the past 3 years replacing worn suspension components. (Tbh, I miss the mk4 days of rear beam and simpleton control arms.) But lets be honest, its a 11 year old turbocharged German car, and we do live in the speed bump capital of the world. In case anyone is wondering, in 215k miles we've replaced: Brakes all around (duh) Ball joints, tie rods, sway bar end links, sway bar bushings, rear trailing arms, struts, strut mounts, Axle boots (too many times) dsg service, X2 t-belt (FTW) service along with accessory belt, a/c compressor, radiator fans (both, large one twice) starter and finally bank1 O2 sensor. Interior has had a few things need touch up or repair, but we live in UAE, and the car sits outside in 120+ degree heat. Overall, I love the car, is been quite good to us. Car is also eurodyne stg1 on OEM downpipe.

Hi Guys - happy that you showed a shot of the Teekay Couplings Mk5 Golf GTi Championship from Brands Hatch I was second car thru !

Bought a stock 2009 GTI with 118,000 KM (~74,000 miles) back in January 2020. Paid a bit extra for the low mileage but I had been combing the listing for a solid example. It did not disappoint. Smooth and easy to daily and gets decent mileage when driving conservatively. It becomes a completely different car in sport mode with the DSG, superb response and plenty of low end torque for a nice go in between stoplights. The only thing that's been a downside so far is the intake runner flap actuator failed and began leaking boost like it was its job. Ive owned it long enough and put enough maintenance into it to know its solid. Some light modifcation and a flash tune and this car will be an amazingly cheap to run and reliable sports car.

How is 118,000 km low mileage here in Sweden people will never buy cars over 50,000 km I don’t understand the American cars they got high mileage and they are expensive, I bought golf mk5 gti in Sweden that had 15,000 km for less than 4000dollar

@spencerquimby4726

@@lifeisshort4777 Its a 13 year old sport compact. 118k is nothing. At 25k a year average its well below where it could be. Most other examples in my area at the time were 200k plus, some pushing 300k. These engines will run for 500k plus if you treat them well. As for why it's a North American thing, what country would you be in if you drove for 8 hours? I wouldn't even be in the next province yet. Basically if it had been driven the "average" ammount per year it would be over 250k, it had less than half that, making it low mileage. A lot of people here in Canada put on 2,000 km a month or more because of the distances involved in commuting between cities. I also paid a little extra for the 2009 model year which here in North America came with some benefits. Like my engine is the tfsi not the fsi, has a timing chain instead of a belt, fixed the high pressure fuel pump cam follower issue, new revision intake manifold, and about 15 more HP than other MKVs because it has the EA888/1 instead of the EA113 engine you find in all other MKVs.

@@EmilyRose900 Very true, I've heard both sides, belt vs chain. They both have issues. VW used to have chains then switched to belts then back to chains because people complained about both of them. I think what it comes down to, as you said, is following service recommendations and preventing failure through maintenance. I like the chain as it doesnt have to be replaced nearly as often, and the tensioner assembly is less prone to failure (still will though if you're not on top of it). The FSI is easier to build, but the TSI has greater potential and similar reliability. Just my 2 cents. Not knocking the FSI, it's a great engine, I just appreciate some of the features they changed for the EA888 family.

Wow this car has lasted a while for how poorly it was treated

was not expecting papa franku. Pleasantly surprised

I recently had a mk4 golf gti, and all i gotta say is it's the best looking golf, and extremely fun to drive

My last 2005 mkv Gti dsg I took from 66k to 189k and was still going strong. Only thing that fell off was the rear seat air con vets. The rest was all intact. Have another one now and already gone from 52 to 65k 👍 Rock solid cars

It’s possible that the headlight bulb colors are different because the “blue” one was replaced recently. HID bulbs tend to move towards “yellow” as they age, while fresh bulbs have a more “blue” tint.

I have my 2007 GTI two doors, I love it.

"The inside of this Road Hugger-- has been huggin' a little too much..." 😄 Worn out, for sure. But the drivetrain would make this a nice driver with minimal work. Would have loved this when I was in college...

Bought an 07 mk5 GTI with 130k on it 6 months ago, not a single problem since it was serviced regularly and has plenty of receipts from previous owners

Be wary of any car that has boy racer mods and a new set of cheap tires as those tires are probably hiding something. Excellent advice once again.

I love this guy’s humor

Great video!

Just bought a mk5 a couple days ago it’s already in pieces😂 have it all taken apart for the new cam follower and valve cover gasket thinking I should just go ahead and replace the Pcv too haven’t done the cap test... went to change the plugs my number 1 had oil in it😬 ECS tuning coming in clutch with one day shipping, but the cam follower in it was like new!

Cool, do one for the MK7 Golf R. Many out there with high miles for sale. Modified or Not modified? Thanks.

This is my favorite GTI. I miss my 07 so bad! I have a huge hole in my heart now that it's gone.

poor gti :( i got a mk5 a few months ago and as much as it’s a pain in the ass with problems it’s a fun car. i need - rev d diverter valve - oil separator - brake booster vacuum hose - spark plugs - serpentine belt - brake pads - wheels - windshield - lower control arms

I owned a corrado 1.8 16v with 172000 miles and i also owned a 2.0 16v with 90000 miles both at the same time, the one with 172000 miles felt miles nicer , yet the car was in rough shape, while the 90000 mile one was in absolute pristine condition that i snapped up for £1500 back in 2004. my next car was another corrado, and i now drive a viper green scirocco

This cars owner was so sloppy, I have mine so fine and clean...

Nice video! I'm very surprised that it's cheaper to replace the halfshaft than to replace the torn CV boot. How can that big steel part cost less than just a replacement boot + grease? A quick google implies a halfshaft is $450 and a CV boot kit is only $40. Is the difference in the labor (is it a lot less labor to replace the halfshaft)?

I just bought one yesterday 🔥

Did a spit take when you said "as you can see this road hugger has been hugging a little bit too much."

Its probably had 5+ owners in its neglected life. It reminds me of a 10 y/o Scirocco I had in my youth.

Can you guys do this for a mk7/7.5 because I wanna get a used golf sportwagen and I def wanna know what to look for

The 2.0T up to the MK7 is still the nightmare that keeps VAG engineers up at night. Who knew an engine could consume more petroleum through the rings than through the injectors? You know, before 50K. Sadly, the 2.0T gave a lot of VAG cars a terrible wrap that they don’t deserve. The rest of the drivetrains in most 2.0T powered Audi’s/VW’s is pretty bulletproof. The chassis’ are also well-refined. But that “add one qt. of oil” reminder every week is a real buzzkill. And then the timing chains... and then the PCV’s.... and then the turbos... and on. And on. And on.

There is no single video about other VW Golf V cars (1.4 GT TSI or the 2.0 FSI). Im sure most want to know about the piston rings, the costs of replacing them and how often. Or whether there are specific piston rings that won't break. Or whether using a higher octane fuel will reduce this problem. 🤷🏽‍♂️
