One of the best channels on youtube and I am a Honda guy through and through😂😂

One of the best sounding engines ever made 😌

Great video. Really like hearing your assessment of the issues and your suggested solutions. Your approach of using the best parts, in my opinion, is the best way to go for the owner. For a few extra quid the results are so much better. Looking forward to your next video.

You guys are great!! Im an american vag tech!! with my own shop on the west coast of the u.s. We don't have the rust problems here!! and every R32, s4 W8 passat!! is worth the repair!!! I still drive an 81 mk1 DASHER/PASSAT Wagon1.9aaz diesel, at least twice a week!!! and my b5.5 W8 4 motion wagon as the daily!!! I missed your videos!! Im glad your back!!!

I am pleased that you've come back and made KZread a better place with your content. Thank you, much appreciated.

I had to sell my Audi s4 b6 because I couldn’t find anyone here in rural Australia to work on it. I miss that car to this day and wish I could have brought it to you.

Great to have ye back guys ye were missed

Glad you're back! Great channel, missed it. Keep up the good work!!

Great video, and great to see you back.

Great videos. Great to see you guys back after the big workshop refurb

The workshop looks amazing

Thanks for sharing love watching you guys work, absolute legends 👊👊👊

Cheers guys for taking the time👍👍

It's great to have you back making videos again. I really like the way you do all the "while we're in there" jobs which definitely save money in the long run.

Fantastic video, your ability to breakdown and more importantly rebuild such a complex beast is Truly remarkable

Awesome video, just as usual👍 hats off to the owner for ta,ing on the project, true enthusiast who picked the right guys to revive his car 👌👌

great stuff, fantastic content and honest with it! Workshop looks great! Dog is happy too!

Great honest opinion on your video, nice work 👍🏻

soundtrack is sick mate. a pleasure

Another fantastic job again

Great work as always!🔥👏🏽

Superb, as expected and as usual...❤

Really appreciate the fact that you took the time to give an appraisal of the vehicle which gives anyone who is considering purchasing one, an idea of what to look out for. Excellent video.

Great video! You can't put a price on happiness. As long as the owner is happy, the money well spent! Keep up good work.

Impressive mechanical skills and excellent video production and presentation..thanks for sharing...

Hi Bud Your videos are superb, your very good at what you do & very thorough going through the job, your honesty also is second to none, just had my son's Audi A3 3.2 V6 completely done the same but also needed new exhaust etc, company in my town called MRC Tuning.. I watched your videos & even spoke to you to bring it to you to do, but due to time restraints & distance went with MRC Tuning Ltd, I know a few lads there who worked on it, absolutely love the car & sound, but your very unique.. truly genuine awesome work fella 👍👍

Top work as USUAL. Brembo and pagid is OEM! Both are very good.

That was a bargain but regards shout out to owner going for your recommendations this is totally due to the fact that you guys are Rick solid on your work ethic Congratulations

Man I am loving your channel! I particularly like this R32 videos! I own an R32 myself and I love hands on work. I wish I could service my car too myself but I have a disability (no arms) so a lot of repair guys in my country try to overcharge me. I watch and learn as much as I can about servicing cars so I can avoid getting scammed

great work 👌🏼

Awesome video !

Spare bolts? That’s a bad thing? I thought that was standard operating practice! You guys are doing a lot of great work on this ride! Definitely a passion project and hopefully the owner will continue the process.

The only person that has a valid opinion of whether this car was worth it is the guy paying the bill. If he is happy, then all is good.

Amazing work as always. When I leave Bmw and buy a vw or Audi,the only garage I will use.

Great video 😊

Loved the vid keep it up 👍🏻

AWESOME stuff ❤

Hi I love your videos and your input as you went. I had many vw golf's and even a golf R, I ended up selling it and I buy a A3 3.2 VR6, for the money and the sound you get from a VR6 engine, it's hard to beat. Plus I think VR6 will go up in price in the future. My A3 I have decided not to ever sell it. My wife drives a mk6 tdi golf with dsg, it's a great car, my son drive a mk 4 tdi golf, and my other Audi is a Q7 4.2 tdi and it broke the timing chains, 183,000 kms, ( I check not clocked) 17 bend valves, 27 broken roller rockers, lots of damage, I going to weld up the upper sump, as the boss for a chain guide, got ripped off. It's been a pig of a job, but I hope to get it running again. I got a quote to do just the timing chains and guides and some seals, was $9500.00 new zealand dollars, and if anything else was found to be damaged would be a extra. So I been doing it myself, so far spent around $5000. For parts and head work. So once again I thank you for your videos as it help me work on my audi lemon.

Interesting what is considered OEM pads across the world. Your side of the world is Pagid oem. Pagid in Soutrh Africa is aftermarket yet TRW currently is OEM, but we can buy TRW embossed aftermarket as well. Thanks for another great video!

3 door r32 are rare so its worth saving. Looking back at them they are a special car.

On a VW I also like Zimmerman rotors(or Brembo) and Pagid brake pads. The pads have a little better fade resistance.

Looking forward to them B9 Vehicles.

Great work. Happy owner £££ 😊😊😊

Loving it. Looking forward to the B9s. You might have one more coming your way😂

|I'm going to look at an R32 tomorrow and it has quite high millage but has been looked after, my only concern is this. It has not been changed yet and its going to be something I will be checking if at all possible for an amateur.

Hi is possible to do the job without taking the cams sprockets ?

Hilarious spare bolt section

For whomever moans about how much it costs to fix a car like that properly remember Dealer prices are outrageously expensive but you get what you pay for, you can obviously do it cheaper but it's a saying do it cheaper do it twice because unfortunately 90% of aftermarket parts quality it's utter shit , in my opinion on the brakes I would have gone with textar instead of factory since even VW uses those for lambos and the price have been about 50% cheaper and probably same or better quality but again you cannot find them locally anywhere in UK they have to be ordered from overseas, other then that what this guys are doing and how they are doing it is absolutely perfect. So remember you want quality you fork up the cash that's all !

Hey man. Can you share what are the acceptable crank positions for both 208 and 209? My vr6 is the FSI one with the HPFP. My chains were changed around a year ago and I have -1 and +5 for banks 2 and 1. And now I get this P0016 error on Bank1. So I wonder if my car was never timied accurately? I get the error randomly but each time it happened was only after driving it for some time and then going slow. Lastly if it is the adjuster failing, can it be swapped without pulling down the engine ? Thank you!

hi....on my tt MK2 3.2 I made the timing chains and also changed the flywheel (194,000 km) after just 10,000km the flywheel splinters and fiber again,,, why?

same engine mounts as Mk1 TT 3.2?

When you see all the sludge in the oil pick up, it’s just criminal on how this car was cared for. Always loved the VR6 in the Golf GTI with the 6 speed manual, torque was on demand and a fun drive.

What degreaser do you use

It makes no difference what its worth on paper. A new golf R is £50,000ish. If the owner likes that car and wants it to work as intended then fix it and enjoy many miles in it. £1800 is a hell of a lot better than being 50k in debt for a car thats losing value.
