- So, as many of you have seen in the previous videos of going stage two in my Volkswagen Golf R - my engine decided to stop working and we established we needed a new one.
I decided to bring my car to Ares Tuning Ltd, who are very quickly becoming the most well known experts and builders of these engines in the UK.
They did an amazing job with mine and I am now able to enjoy driving my car once again.

PS, my accent can be quite hard to understand if you’re not from Northern Ireland/Ireland so apologies lol
Happy for you mate, you must be relieved it's all over and you get to enjoy your car again. Fingers crossed it doesn't happen to mine.
Thanks very much! I’m well chuffed to have it back! To even be back driving it after such a long period of time feels great, forgot how much I missed it. It runs better than before and have that piece of mind now too 💯 would recommend Ares Tuning to anyone 🚀
Hopefully won’t happen yours, a big giveaway for mine was the oil consumption, definitely knew myself it wasn’t right and even VW told me this when I let them check it over, how wrong were they…
Keep up the good work buddy !!! 👍🏻 Be consistent with your work and one day you will achieve everything you ever wanted in your life .
Thank you, I will!
This was on my home feed, thought I’d give it a watch as I’m in similar situation myself, TD12 BYE in the opening scene at Ares is mine awaiting repair 😂😢
Hardly man 😂 small world!! At least your car is in good hands with the guys at Ares Tuning! Nathan is a wizard with these cars! 💯
My Turbo blew up, the car stayed at the workshop for a month to clean all the oil from the pipes, and put new parts on the engine, new turbo and etc. I also installed two dual exhaust tips Akrapovic + custom muffler. And now the car has more air, power and it will prevent it from another fail. It's probably the best mod that I've done on the car to be like mk 7.5 !
Same thing happened to my golf R arestuning fixed mine may this year. top lads, the car feels like new. Would definitely recommend arestuning
They really are great and know everything about these cars! Says a lot when people go to them from far and wide to get their car sorted and back up and running again!
@cpjcarz I live in county Durham is was a 180mile trip for me, these are top guys like, I've done 1800 mile since it runs like a dream. I think these lads know more about these engines than VW enjoy mate I know I am
@@thirteen2342yes I agree with you, VW (at least the ones in the dealers) know nothing about them 💀 have done 2k miles in it since getting it back and runs like a dream 💯
I can hear u better now lol but congrats on the car👍
Good content, what are the wheels ? Japan racing or Bola maybe ?
Thanks very much! Hard to compete with the big UA-camrs! - and they are 19” Japan racing JR25’s wrapped with Michelin Pilot Sport 4S’s
What caused the oil pressure issue though?
Not sure, was just told it was an oil pressure issue that caused it - probably from running low on oil at some stage or throughout its life before I bought it maybe, I was filling it up quite frequently in between complete oil changes.
Could have even been a failed oil pump. Anything really but all sorted now.
What does it cost for all that work to be done to the engine ?
The work itself was £4300
jesus christ 5 grand the cars worth 10k
In what world lmao, if that was the case I wouldn’t have bothered fixing it.
Over in NI you would struggle to find a clean one and DSG for less than £15k, and that’s around 90k miles too.
Not to mention I was offered £10k by a salvage yard when it broke with them looking to fix it and make money on it.
In the Republic of Ireland, these cars are well over €25k for MK7, with the MK7.5 going for nearly €40k - being an NI registered car I can sell it to them for a good deal in their books because they don’t have to pay as much VRT on them…
@Child-Snatcher-h2t LOL I can hold my own purse thank you very much... on a side note projecting your internalised homophobia is likely the cause of your depression based on recent scientific studies
How much did that cost?
Roughly £5k all in with a two year warranty - covers transporting the car to wales and driving it home too.
Not bad considering 2nd hand engines are £3.5k-£4k alone with no guarantee.
@@cpjcarz "The work itself was £4300". So the parts and transport were 700 ???
@@doejonmeant it as the works and parts were £4300, all included - OEM Crankshaft alone is £950 for example….
Was £300 to get the car brought there on the back of a lorry.
The ferry home and my flight was around £220, full tank of shell Vpower was £85, then any food and stuff I bought while travelling home…
Sounds like fuel in the oil washing the crank
