Thanks!

I didn't actually, I do all the editing and levels through headphones but I'll keep this in mind for the next videos and test it on some other devices first before uploading 😎

Again massive thanks for donating the MK1 to me, it's been a car I've always wanted. I'm well pleased. 🙌 I've made quite a bit of progress on it already getting it ready for winter and trying to make it waterproof, been putting all my spare time into it the last couple of weeks so there should be an update video next week. If you happen to find the MK1 loom that would be massively appreciated, but no worries if you can't find it though.

Picking up a range of old Volkswagens clearly 😉😂 Thanks again boss!

Thank you, I've got plenty of bits to put back together for now, the next step is making it water tight for winter, hopefully I've got most of those bits. From what I know the golf cabrio come around in 1979/80 and finished production around 1992/94 at the end of the MK2 era as they never made a MK2 cabrio just a facelift of the MK1. Think the MK3 was released around 1992/93 Explains why the cabrio is a lot cheaper than a full MK1. Crazy how long the MK1 style has lasted for, I think it's South Africa that has the MK1 golf citi untill something crazy like 2009/2010!

@@VintageVibesAutomotive shows how much i remember in my fuzzy grey matter ! Good luck to you, looking forward to the update vids

@@jamescrook99 Thank you, I'm working on the next video now, so hopefully next week I can release it fingers crossed 🤞

Thank you 🙌❤️

@@gunman1973 Hopefully soon the next big step is welding the floor and inner sills

25p to keep it a secret still 🤫

@@VintageVibesAutomotive 26p and a eye poke

@@LewisBurman Deal 🤝🤝

It would settle down after a couple of minutes of running, it would also come back if you revved it all of a sudden for a short while or turning at really low speeds.

@@VintageVibesAutomotive hmm interesting, mine seems to go away at 1200-1500 rpm then come back again before going away completely once warmed up

@@superbelly427 I would try the change if the belt first, the correct belt you need is pinned top comment, it cost me £10 posted. Other than that it could be the alternator belt pulley, you'll be able to see it clicking and moving excessively if it's the pulley/ tensioner bracket. As a side note my 16v is non AC if you did buy that belt first

You're welcome!

Thanks, Glad it was helpful!

Thank you, the rust is the main bit for me to sort now.

Crusty!

Whoops, I missed that one! All sorted, thanks 😎

Just a smidge 🤏

Sight unseen from eBay as well 🤢😂 I guess everyone stayed well clear of it seeing as I was the only one that bid on the auction

Thank you 🙌 Yes those crank sensors can be a right bugger! When I brought it as a non runner, the first new crank sensor didn't work at all which was fitted when I brought it, the second crank sensor cut the car out at 88 degrees oil temperature the third crank sensor was the most expensive febi bilstein sensor which finally worked properly, so even the new parts are temperamental

Thanks Chris, good to hear from you 🙌

Thank you 🙏

Thanks man 🙏❤️

I'm sure he is ❤️ it's something I don't think I can ever part with. Many adventures was had in that car 😎

Very 💥

@@rickydub6950 I always thought it was the foam on the inner wheel aches, I've had 5 mk4s overtime and they all had rusty front wings, the rest of the car has no rust at all.

Absolutely! So many memories in that old Mk5, it's like I'm still going on adventures with my old man knocking around in that old golf

You've got to keep that car, sounds like it's more than just a golf. Mine actually makes the owl noise still but it's a lot quieter. The turbo has been whistly and sounded like a police siren when he brought it all those years ago but never got worse. Some say it's the turbo failing but it's always been fine and boosted well. I thought the exhaust problem was it finally letting go. As it progressively got louder. Definitely keep that Mk5 and don't let go of it. My dad's car was a base spec as well but it's been overhauled with highline features

@VintageVibesAutomotive I had thoughts of a wee map, slight lowering, turbo from a 130/150 & biggest brakes I can get behind the original 15"steelies & trims lol cheers 🍻

​@@rickydub6950they can handle a remap very well, my dad remapped it a week after he brought it and it still has the original engine, turbo and gearbox. The PD engines handle a remap well. The pd130/150 turbo would be a nice shout! If you get the updated turbo make sure you get the pd150 head bolts as they can get head lift from the boost

Why doesn't your wife want it there if she knows how much it means to you

@@rjj00 we have 6 cars on the driveway and 2 in storage 🙈😂

Sorry 288k but still 4 is a lot

Mk5 clutches and flywheel are weak .

@@riflegreen3069 I've had one and my brothers both had them, they all made it past 160k miles on original. BXE engine codes

The 1st OEM clutch lasted till 80k miles, the DMF started rattling, the second one lasted till 220k miles, the third clutch was faulty and only lasted 5k miles and the 4th clutch which it's on now has covered up untill 288,500 miles. But the Dual mass flywheels in TDI engines are pretty weak and end up juddering. The solid mass flywheels are more reliable but cause loads of vibrations

I had a dual mass flywheels fail on my mk5, while they were replacing it they "might as well do the clutch"....

Lovely looking cars, especially with the GT/GTi front end

That's awesome that is, at that point it becomes more than just a car.

I think it's going to be just fine 😂
