This dude knows his GLIs. Wow. Bought a 2014 GLI autobahn in pristine condition this year with only 27,800 miles on it. Fully loaded. Brand new it was about $31k. I got it for about $14k. Still feels like a new car.
Has anything wrong with it occur?
@@SSR-vz8zx So far so good. I've had it since February of this year. I regularly scan for codes and nothing has come up yet.
Where's this at? I'm looking in the pnw and stuck around 12 to 14 finding way higher mileage.
huh? this seems impossible no matter where you are in the US! Not saying ur lying, but man, that's what people are pricing their 2014 GLI Autobahns for with 100k+ miles... not sure how you scored that one
@@Jiwtt Yes, remember we had that insane used car spike in price after the pandemic started? Luckily I bought mine right before that started. Believe it or not it's been a couple years and the car is worth more now than it was when I bought it. Every now and then I'll search for same make and year with similar mileage it it's usually around 20k. I just lucked out in timing.
i just purchased a tornado red GLI 14 30th edition. Such a nice car, im in love with it. Got mine with 48k miles on it fully serviced from the original owner for 13 grand. If you find a good deal on these cars, do not hesitate to buy.
Thank you, this is one of the best videos I have seen about the MK6 GLI.
Thanks Joezel!
Very comprehensive and inclusion of outdoor video made it easier to watch... well done !
Seriously one of the most informative videos I've ever seen on YT. Thank you guys!
You prolly dont care at all but does any of you know of a trick to log back into an Instagram account?
I stupidly forgot my password. I appreciate any help you can offer me
This is the exact video I need, I didn’t expect this kinda video to exist just because the gli isn’t as popular as the gti. I am planning on trading in my Jetta sport 2016 to a 2017 GLI. I’m in love with the mk6 gli design
Hi Miguel, glad we surprised you and that you found it helpful!
I have a jetta sport and I am very happy with it, I have an upgraded turbo and it makes alot more power than a GLI
@@runova1304 yeah was thinking about just going stage 2 on the sport and upgrade the turbo but ultimately decided to go for the GLI since it including all the new features and munch nicer interior. First mod of the list is getting that awe track exhaust
Tru but whatever u do to your 1.8t will have better results in the gli…
And the trans (dsg) will have a better chance of keeping up with what you upgrade your car with…
I have a 17 gli planning on tuning real soon.
You really don’t know smooth until you drive a dual clutch car.
@@theodorerobinson5274 I have a tuned 17 gli stage 1+ it’s alright
I bought a 2016 GLI SE manual used with 70k back in 2019, 4 years on 75 k miles later and this thing is still going strong. Had the clutch replace when I bought it and had a water pump replacement at 100k, other than that only scheduled maintenance and this thing is a dream to drive on some back roads on the weekends and also as a commuter car during the week
such a clean car i am an mk6 owner ! ^^
What’s the insurance like on your gli. Thinking of getting one but I’m pretty sure it’s a sports car
@@michaelasiem3339 It’s considered just a regular sedan honestly. I have a mk6.5 and it’s so much cheaper than my IS300 which is considered a sports sedan🤷🏽♂️
Nice presentation of the Jetta-Gli models! Congratulations it's always good to follow the changes and updates...
Owner of a 2012 GLI, 4 years of ownership 100xxxkm
Timing chain tensioner + components✓
PCV valve and rear main seal ✓
Water pump replaced w. Aluminum one✓
Clutch replacement was necessary ✓
Intake manifold recall replacement✓
Rear springs snapped, replaced ✓
Control arms swapped out with new ✓
That's it, so far 😅. Accurate review, your right about the lean codes, kept throwing that code, vagcomed it and it went away for good. I also changed my intake filter to a k&n filter, for some reason it made a difference in regards to the lean code.

@@kenand10 still running strong so 👋
This is so helpful because vws aren’t common in the Midwest so the Info is equally as rare
Nice video very informational. Im in the market for a mk6 Jetta rn.
Great video, my 2016 is my second GLI and I love it, aside from that clutch slippage that's been apparent in both of them around 50,000 mi but I don't even notice it the way I drive anymore
2016 gli 60,000 miles on it and I love every second of it do it and get yourself one 😊
I have a 2018 with about 55k miles and one of my injectors went out. Thank God it was covered under warranty. I recommend getting it in white silver metallic with the black and brushed aluminum rims!! This color has a hue of light blue and it has a very nice effect when it’s cloudy
Was your vehicle having random misfires?
@@thejaydot5194 My check engine light was on but it ran perfectly fine up to 80mph
I love this I’m at 120k got it around 28k it’s been really awesome just gotta have extra Cables for car play LOL mk6 Sel I’m about to put a 4 motion badge on it for fun hahahaha Thanks for the video guys !
Do you guys have a recommended aftermarket push to start converter for the 2018 Mk6?
Well put together list, but you've missed the 2015 bastard GLI. Had the updated interior and rear end of the 16/17/18. But front end was the same as 14 and before and was missing carplay as well which the 16 and later had.
yeahhhhhh, we specifically left that one out. poor thing.
But in all seriousness we'll likely include it in a different video that we can put more focus on it.
i think this generation of the gli his gonna become a classic or collectors car to me this his the best looking gli after the first genaratioms
是的 Mk6的确经典
Do these have the same crank walk issues the mk7 gti has?
Can you use a mk7 cobb accessport on the 6.5 gli since it has the exact same engine or no?
Does the jetta gli have the same components as golf 6/7 gti?
This video was awesome, I just wish a SEL trim of a 2015 or higher would’ve been shown because they have even better interiors. I’ve had my GLI for a year and a couple months and I love it. I actually made a video of it, so if anyone wants to see a review on a 2015 GLI SEL DSG it’s on my channel.
Anyone know where the white gli got the roof rack from?
Question: I have a 2016 GLI but the headlights are halogen. Does the 2017 GLI HID headlights fit the 2016?
My gli engine is broken can use gti mk7 engine?do i need modify if use the engine
So what’s the best year to look at for these ?
Yall got roof racks for them?
Rim and tire dimensions and brands
I got my red 30th edition with the same racks on the video back in 2014 with 11 miles on it. I now have 120k on it and drives like new still. I love my car and one day I will modify the body and rims
This is good to hear, thinking about buying literally that exact same car from a friend soon. Sorry to ask, but if ur not busy could u tell me what repairs/replacements do you remember making so far?
@@Jiwtt good car, 132k no repairs made at all. Just make sure he did the regular maintenance (oil changes, spark plugs changes, most importantly is the transmission fluid flush DSG done every 60-70k miles) if there is no DSG receipt I would think twice about buying it. Only a VW dealer can do it.
@@nx7latino awesome, will check that. Thanks a ton :) hoping to have the same luck as you
Am looking one jetta gli 2018 with 117 thousand, I still have a little bit of doubt of the mileage, do you think is ok to buy with this mileage?
Thoughts on a 2012 GLI with 200k kms? 170k miles roughly. Has a few repairs to do & it's got a code for the intake for 6500?
where was this vid before i got mine last year😫
I did not know that gli was about. I'm going to get me one!
Do these cars have electrical problems like the mk5
Not really tbh
Looking at a 2017 Jetta GLI with 78k miles. Is it worth it? It supposedly still has factory warranty
Did you buy it
2013 gli with gen1 motor and 75k miles should I buy?
The 2014 and up would be great since they have gen 3. But that one will def do the job
@@lsx5221 update I ended up buying a 2017 GLI with 50k miles decided to spend the extra money. Thanks for the info though!
@@jakezundel8168 that’s dope. I have a 2014 currently and I love it. Enjoy the car man
@@jakezundel8168 how much was that?
I have a 2017 gli and I’m having random misfires in cylinders 1,2 and 4. Has anyone else had this problem?
carbon on intake valves!
early years for $7-10k, if only that was the same in 2021
Is it safe to buy a gen 1
You are safe to do so
What’s the set up on that red one?
Hi Clorox Bleach, that GLI is lowered on VWR sport springs.
@@fcpeuro is there anything else done besides the springs? How do you get the tires to be flush with the body like that?
Does 2017 GLI have the IS20 turbo? If not what does it have & can i put IS20 in it? Thanks
Doesn’t have an is20 but you can upgrade to it or even the is38 from the golf R
@@SILVERBACKGTI What turbo is in 2017 Jetta?
@@RawGreySun MGT 1752s, you can buy an upgraded version of it from Xman Turbos
2016+ have very limited turbo upgrade options.. Make sure you research this!
Damn, it sounds like it has all the same problems my mini had. Starting to regret buying this.
Literally a 4 door golf :)
Isn’t everything?
Why do these cars depreciate so fast?
Probably because of expensive repairs. Fixing them cost as much as fixing an Audi, BMW or Benz. German cars are fun but they ain't easy on the pocketbook!
