Absolutely amazing skills, extremely impressive product knowledge, So many tricks of the trade here, it’s like a Goldmine of knowledge caught in sequential order, It’s brilliant mixed with speed and preciseness. The frequency & repetition has certainly been displayed here. I’m now a 100% convinced I will never do this and GLADLY pay someone to do it. It will be worth every penny. Thank you for sharing this video.

Fascinating video! Great camera work too.

[@GremcoGarage]

Thanks for the comment. What else would you like to see in the channel?

[@tedjohnson64]

@@GremcoGarage Thanks for asking. Your channel has a lot of really good content. Here's a few things I haven't found, that I'd like to see videos on: DSG clutch pack replacement, DSG mechatronics replacement, mk6 Beetle or GTI turbo replacement, mk6 Beetle or GTI engine swap.
I'd also like to see an AC recharge (where there's not a leak per se, but just a 10 year old VW which has gradually lost R134a due to the 3% or so yearly natural R`34a loss that occurs due to rubber hose permeation, so a bit more needs to be added). In particular, I'm curious if you ever add a top-up of PAG oil in such a case (rather than just straight R134a), and if so, how you calculate how much PAG oil to add?
I'd also like to see a video where you fix a stuck turbo actuator arm (rather than replace the entire turbo), via the method I've read about in forums. Apparently the turbo actuator arm can become stuck if the car isn't driven for a few weeks. There's multiple stories where people put PB Blaster (or similar) on the linkage joint of the turbo actuator arm, and then move it back and forth until it moves easily. I've used mirrors from the top and bottom of both my VW's (2014 GTI, 2013 Beetle), but can't even see the turbo actuator arm. It would be nice to see a video showing where it's located. Thanks!
EDIT: typo fixes

It's a thing of beauty, watching master mechanics work. You know these guys are making bank.

I have a 09 Jetta that needs a rear main seal. This video is very helpful

[@bikerboy6985]

No sigle one time use subframe and trans mount (strech bolts)wasn’t replaced I hope customer didn’t was charged for that yeah you need speed but you need to replace that bolts it’s safety issues no body wants to drop’s subframe on highway 70mph

[@armandbushi6124]

That oil separator/pcv is the whole reason why the rear main seal is blown out

[@peterwolanyk3428]

Gotta love it

[@marco1173]

Would be nice to know how much this repair cost

[@199sina]

My mechanic told me to change my oil separator at my last service, I was dumb not to do it.
Hope I don’t have to go through this:(

[@MrClownWorld]

Nah it’s cool just scratch and dent everything you touch

[@rdata34]

how much does this job cost for 2009 GTI?

[@trevordavis8210]

About 2 grand. Not ideal. Bout to do it myself

[@marco1173]

I was quoted ~$1800 for a 2010 just last week. Way more than I anticipated.

[@deej411]

This guy fixes 😂

[@raphiology]

mechanics like this seriously need to relax. do more dmg than fixes

[@GremcoGarage]

Could you highlight the timestamps when the damage was done?
