That motor is an interference motor, sorry to say. The timing belt needs to be replaced every 100-125k.

Sorry to hear about this bro. Hopefully it pulls through

I have oil sipping and collecting into my glow plugs and making it run rich. I was wondering if I can remove the intake manifold and replace the gasket without having to used VCDS? I got a code P0638 and I have already remove the EGR twice and clean it and got that code soon after that work. I haven’t change the valve cover gasket as my girlfriend’s car has 160K miles. I also would like to replace the injector seals since that will have to be removed to replace the valve cover gasket but since I don’t have the VCDS I’m scare I’ll screw my injectors pressure!!!

Nice I got another Forester. A 2006

Great little video, thanks for sharing! Can you also share the fault code you had? I've currently got intermittent P0121 (throttle) and P2425 relating to the EGR. Cheers!

5:00 copper pads under the injectors?did you manage to solve the problem?

hey quick question where do you get your rims and wheels they look awesome on those and what size are those

👍.

Did you have to do any calibrations on VCDS or OBDEleven after you re-installed everything?

Great vid. Thank you.

Conveniently left out the lower bolt part on the egr cooler. Son of witch!😂

I have the same old oil deposits pooling around injectors. Have you found the fix? The injectors have been resealed so the issue lies somewhere else. I was thinking its either a faulty valve cover gasket (oil seems to copy the gasket perimeter as well) or a bad oil filler neck gasket.

Hello, I also have a engine light on the dashboard and I think it's the EGR too, after cleaning it, did the engine light disappear or did you have to erase it with an OBD2 PC ?

We’re you able to get the ASV, that’s the anti shudder valve .. ie tdi throttle body off with only loosening the screw clamp on the intake hose? I recently tried to take off the ASV/EGR on my tdi but I couldn’t get the hose off the ASV.. probably need to remove it from the turbo as a whole to get enough movement.. that’s a bad design by VW to not have any movement in that intake hose.. otherwise good video, did the EGR fault clear?

After watching MANY vids that didn't help me I finally found yours. Thank you for ALL the info and great video work, much appreciated! I'm going to attempt this project on my 2011 JSW now. I also have that oil issue on top of my valve cover..need to do some research on cause/fix. Cheers

How many miles? I'll be taking my anti-shudder valve out this weekend to do the thermostat so I might as well add this job.

I’m debating if I want to try this on mine or just let a shop deal with it. I actually just need to get to the asv/ throttle body I have a P0638 engine code. That big rubber hose is giving me pause though. A bit concerned I won’t be able to get it off or back on….

No start video at the end? 😢

Thanks alot, mate

Is thats 2litre or 1.6 ?

Did you ever get the delete kit? How did that go?

Hi, great video! Did cleaning it sort the problem ?

You may find that the injector seals need replacing

These cars should be reliable

FWIW: I just swooped up my buddy's one owner 2010 GTI with almost 200k miles on it. I literally flew across the country and then drove it back. It burned out the headlamps by the time Sunday night came and I had to drive with only running lights on the front with the fog lamps on and just followed other vehicles a few hundred feet back to make it home. I drove for nearly 16 hours each on Sat and Sun and she had drank about a quart of oil. I got home and ordered about $300 worth of various maintenance and replacement items, including new HID headlamps, a Euroswitch and OBDEleven dongle to turn off the god forsaken DRLs. That should help get more life out the HID headlamps. I also got the DSG filter and Valvoline DCT fluid off Rockauto shipped for $75 and of course engine oil/filter. My buddy gave me a new fuel filter, and air breather with the car to install. I got 26 mpg with the A/C on going from California to NM at about 75 to 80 mph and about 28 mpg through NM and West Texas going 80 to 85 mph. I did a lot of drafting starting in East Texas and averaged 32 mpg with the A/C on until Sunday night when I backed off because the headlights were not working and tried to follow the slowest person on the road (Atlanta holy hell slowest person was going about 70 mph).

Most reliable GTI ever made was the Mk4 24v GTI VR6. I've had mine for 21 years as my daily, with NO issues whatsoever! TWENTY ONE YEARS! Incredible.

Bravi!!!🎉

If you stay on top of your maintenance it will be forever reliable

Listening to you speak is pure torture. Did you quit high school? FARKING farmer's son.

All things that you have said in video are common problems for mk6 gti and you need to be ready for it. Im also proud owner of mk6 gti and first things that I did on it were cleaning valves, pcv, new coils and plugs and valve cover gasket. Now 1 year and 15k miles later without any problems and I enjoy it

That’s epic that you and your dad did all that

Keep up the great work the intake clean vid was top 👍

vomissement

Wer sich keinen gti leisten kann holt sich nen gtd

Keep your car, its worth it. Spend a little extra $$$ to keep it going.

I have a 2011 mk6 GTI. I had to get an updated intake manifold, valves cleaned, and rear main seal. Your car is fine, VW GTI's are money pits but if you do the work the engine will keep going.

Where did you place the jack when lifting it from the front?

I bought my mk6 gti.. already spent over $1,600 in repairs ☹️ still love my golf though. I used to own a mk3 gti vr6.. always going to miss that car

That looks sick

No before and after shots? Did you end up using the walnut media?

Great video! Good basic info about the engine…I have a 2012 MK6 I bought in 2018…I have 155,000 on it now…zero maintenance!! Just standard oil changes…new tires…and one time a rock cracked my windshield…I replaced the windshield…it’s running so good I don’t want to bring it in for the valve cleaning and timing chain tensioner…if it ain’t broke don’t fix it !! Love GTIs even if it did have a lot of problems I get them fixed! No other car has the same driving feel as VW GTI !!

Might sound like kind of a dumb question but how do you know when the valves are fully closed? Also which way do you turn the crank? Don’t wanna potentially screw anything up. Changing my injectors this weekend and wanna do a carbon clean at the same time. Thanks!

I just got a GTI mk6 2011 TSI 2.0 should i keep it or its not worth it ?

Mk 7.5 is much more reliable gti

It’s nice

Upload them 🙏🏻

These cars aren't that bad, but you have to maintain them. There's not as much of a neglect buffer as other cars, like Hondas for example. They have some issues for sure, but nothing really major. I've got over 165k miles on mine with a K04 and tune making over 300 wheel hp and it's still going strong. Plus, you have the TSI engine unless it's a Golf R. The first year for the TSI is 2009 in the final year of the MK5. 4 general failure points of the TSI has are the timing tensioner, the water pump, the intake manifold and the PCV system. There are revisions on all these parts that drastically improve the life span of these engines.

When I bought mine the engine was also crap. And I had to rebuild the whole engine now it runs smoothly and i service it🎉

I wouldn’t own anything else and that’s saying a lot

290.000kms golf 6 gti dsg, motor de fábrica, caixa de fábrica e turbo de fábrica só fiz revisões a tempo e horas Troquei tensor de corrente pelo moderno,Bobines r8 , velas grau 9, PCV delete, kit água metanol, k&n box filter, adicionei um filtro de gasolina antes da bomba de alta pressão. Escape original tudo original só resolvi os problemas de origem
