What's up UA-cam and welcome to AP Builds! my name is Anthony P.
AP Builds came about whilst working on a flip car with a friend who suggested the idea as he enjoyed watching the likes of Goonzquad, Vtuned and Samcrac.
I am a Volkswagen fanatic through and through with passion for everything VW.
My first Volkswagen was a 1999 MKIV Golf which I have performed plenty of modifications including interior swap, engine swap and so forth. This is where I was bitten by the VW bug, and I haven't looked back!
For this channel I had the idea of making content where people less mechanically minded people could learn how to repair their own cars as I have in the past using UA-cam.
My dream is to have my own shop to show my channel further, give back to the community and help out like minded enthusiasts.
If you would like to support me by subscribing to my channel and following me on Instagram It would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for visiting and hope you enjoy!

Replacing the Serpentine Belt Tensioner on my VW MK4 Bora TDI
We're back working on the Bora!
Does your accessorie belt queak and squeal when turning at low speeds? If the answer is YES! Then, enjoy this video 😉
In todays video, I tackle a REALLY annoying squeak coming from the accessorie belt! I've replaced the PS pump and serpentine belt, but still, it persisted. But now, with a BRAND NEW tensioner, will this finally be the end to that annoying squeak at low speeds

I FINALLY BROKE THE BORA, FINDING A REPLACEMENT PART WAS A MISSION!!

Welcome back, everyone! After the bora's inner cv joint left the chat, I was left stranded on the side of the road! Replacing the driveshaft was the easy part. Finding a part that is no longer available from the dealership and another supplier estimating ~ 2 week wait from the US was out of the question! Shout out to Rock Auto for having an aftermarket shaft in stock, and with reasonably fast s...

Awesome! With regards to a turbo engine do you take it out in the same way ?
@Shryan-ec7zm Hi Shryan! There are different ways to remove an engine, either from the top with an engine crane or out the bottom with the assistance of a hoist, preferably. Or you can remove the front clip as I have here and remove from the front.
Will the Audi tt mk1 transmission 5 speed fit into a 2000 Jetta 2.8 vr6?
@jesusvazquez9726 I don't believe so, it needs to be from a VR6 engine to be compatible
Hi from the uk 🤙 got a bora vr6 4 motion I picked up for couple hundred pounds needs a gearbox rebuild but should be awesome once it back on the road. Great channel mate 👍
@@sebastiantuck1813 What a bargain!
Definitely buddy, hopefully the spongy brakes won’t holt progress 🤞
Did you have enough clearence to drop the box by just using wheel stands?
@DrSiB0T Yes I did, done with a few cars (MK1 Tiguan and Passat R36)
@@apbuilds1519 Ok I've got a v5 Bora that has a slipping clutch. Do you thinjk it's possible to do the clutch off the ground using stands. Did you have to tilt the engine? How many hours do you think it would take?
@DrSiB0T I used an engine support beam, which sits from either side of the chassis with a chain hooked onto the engine so I can tilt it in a controlled manor
Hi mate do you have the part number for the clutch iv got a Bora 4 motion as well and i bought a clutch kit off eBay and it doesn’t actually fit. It’s the wrong size
You called a technician to tell you that you need a tow truck 😅😅
@elkarim9929 With the roadside assistance, they won't just send out a tow truck. They send out their mobile techs to confirm first before a tow truck is dispatched. Seems stupid, but that's their procedure 😅
Nice job. Well sorted out 👍
Thanks @bigkeg!
Which capital are you in? I'm sitting on an AUE too.
@@beersandwich76 Adelaide, South Australia mate
Why you didn’t use brake parts cleaner? How did you clean inside the calipers with brush ?
@AhmadK100. I did to clean the rotor. Unfortunately, it wasn't enough to remove the dust from the calipers, so I used a wire brush, which does make more of a mess but I find if you add liquid to the brake dust it makes it a lot harder to remove.
@apbuilds1519 oh okay. At 3:19 of your video, you hit the long nail to push it back easily. I tried alot today with different chisels but couldn't succeed. I also felt that only this upper nail of my left caliper looks different from other front caliper nails. Other nails pushed back easily with just couple of hits.
What type of transmission did you use?
@jordanjones6071 the transmission is a 02M 6spd
Gonna be doing mine soon, getting time then gonna do it in a random car park nearby😂

Am having a problem with my jetta 4 when i break the vibration occurs mostly on the left side did suspension repairs everything is new but that vibration still there i feel it on the steering wheel and my front tyres are getting worn out is it possible that it could be gear box mount?
Could possibly be either wheel bearing or brakes being worn/warped? In regards to your tyres, I'd recommend a wheel alignment. They would be able to let you know if anything out of alignment.
@@apbuilds1519Thanks my break pads are new and bearings on the tyres I will definitely do alignment
Are these xenon reps ? I wanna see the light output at night, because i have some reps from ebay with h7 leds in them but they are not as good as original xenons so maybe i want to fit some h7 xenon bulbs in mine
They're replicas. The light output isn't the best, but I haven't really looked into it as I rarely drive at night 😅
I no it’s long time ago now but just to say wheels look sick bro looks just like mine mint
@@sonsrc1326 can't go wrong with the porsche lobster claws 👌
That looks so mean now!!! Its funny how much a pair of new headlights change a car.....sick vid man keepem comin
Sweet mate, if you want to get plastic to stick really well, you lay on some fine salt as the "cement" then pour over the super glue. It will bond together really tough. The is a product off the shelf called "Q-bond" this just replicates that.
I've used this stuff before with great success. The last lot, unfortunately, dried up in the bottle.
Lights really pop mate. Whens the grill coming?
Looks great. How well did the headlights work? Unfortunately i just sold my Bora. I moved and couldn't keep two cars, but the Passat wagon is a cool car as well 😊 10:55
Thanks Keg! They work alright, definitely going to invest in a better HID kit
Long shot but do you have part number for pads as i cant find them
Mate good work!
My mirror has done the same but the mirror is the least of my worries! 😁
Another great video mate love it🤛🏽
Congratulations on 500 subs man gonna over take me soon haha keep up the good work work! 🔥🔥

What is the code of engine AQP or BDE?
Neither, it's an AUE 😁

i cant find the plate for the camm in europe can you help me pleas and i have the aqp motor 2.8 it is diferent of bde and i dont know what chain buy can you help pleassss
aue and aqp are the same /similar, I believe
Do you open the brake fluid cap reservoir while retracting the pistons? Or bleed them as you push them in?
bleed as you push in then, do a system bleed.
Hi I just installed rear kw v1 and set to lowest height but there is a huge gap like 4”? Any ideas as to why it’s not lowering
If you have wound the collar all the way down then it should be at its lowest point. 4" doesn't seem right. Feel free to pm me on insta with some pics. I ended up just taking the adjuster out the back of the R32 and I just have the spring now
Car came out nice... I love those wheels on it... That car needs to be lowered... N keep the standard grill OEM will always look good
Thank you for these videos, i have to do timing on my 24v 2.8 starting this weekend and this js the exact style of videos i was looking for🙌🏾

She’s looking good, keep the standard grill on get a set of bora sports and lower it to the ground haha good vid mate
Scrubbed up alright for a 22 year old car! Can't wait to cut/polish the paint so it pops 👌 I do have a set of bora sports but I'm liking the aristos atm
Hey mate audio is a bit low but lovely video
Turn up your volume 😅

i am from south africa is it adviceble to buy an jetta 4 i am inlove with it
I don't see why not! The South African VW community is quite a good one with plenty of people modifying them there.
happy birthday
Those wheels just set it off aye....love that you chucked them on
Been hanging to put them on for ages!
We need to know what the plan is with the oettinger front bar
In due time 😅
Its the same engine with mk5 1.6?
This engine is a 2.8 VR6
EBay ones fit spot on no need to pay way over for dark side, literally exactly the same thing.
Good to know mate! I'll be selling this one when I get the rest of the exhaust sorted
@@apbuilds1519 top lad
Stateside here, just finished up my 2.5” turbo back on my 03’ Jetta Wagon. Kit I bought was spot on. Instructions say trimming WILL be necessary on the downpipe depending on application. Mine being a wagon figured no trimming but nope, had to trim a good 12” from downpipe. Fit perfect. Got mine from KermaTDi here in the states. I say get the correct downpipe. You’re doing all the work, do it right for best flow. Initial reaction tonight was oh wow, can hear the turbo a bit more. Seat of the pants says faster but you know how that goes. Mine’s already got Stage IV Malone tune, injectors, VNT17. Next up is PD150 intake and a retune from a fella from the East coast, says can run way better and cleaner.
Will the VR6 manual transmission fit on the V5 Engine?
Technically yes, being the V5 box has the same bell housing as the V6 box but I'd say the gear ratios will be different and possibly the driveshaft cups could be different as I've never personally checked both.
@@apbuilds1519 okay sir thanks but would really like to know cause I want to move from automatic to manual.
@ru-jeanizaaks1290 if you're going from Auto to manual, then definitely get yourself some new driveshafts to match the gearbox 👍 then you'll be golden
@@apbuilds1519 indeed I will get the hole kit.🤙🫡
By the way I like your work.🤙
Stock sounds better
I agree! Will be removing the resonator at a later stage to see if it changes it enough for me to keep it
Question. I've have a vw jetta 2.0 AVH 115 HP. Once I check an oil in motor and saw that the oil became more liquid. Gasoline got into it because the injector was pouring a lot of fuel. Tell me, is it possible to operate such a car?
I wouldn't recommend it! Injector seals aren't the hardest part to replace.
💯 Promo-SM
Always watching even got myself a same colour 1999 bora 2.0L when you picked up silver one hahaha how did you remove front pillars off im just going to stick fabric back down
Thanks for tuning in The front pillar just pull straight off as they're only held in with clips
Looks good mate from the uk here is that the pd130?
Sure is the PD130!
Who buys a Resonated MIltek lol. Non res or go home. Sounds louder stock.
Well unfortunately the R32s are not as common as other countries so there's not a great variety of exhausts/parts that come up for sale. I'll definitely look into getting another centre pipe made up with no res...
Thanks for watching though 😁
