- My golf has the FSI motor which if I’ve done my research correctly is the first year for that motor so they have some bugs. Seems like mainly the carbon build up on the valves and something I didn’t mention is I think they can use a lot of oil. Coming from driving an old Subaru that doesn’t really bother me because I’m used to checking. Anyways I pretty much just ramble about my golf so enjoy.

These cars aren't that bad, but you have to maintain them. There's not as much of a neglect buffer as other cars, like Hondas for example. They have some issues for sure, but nothing really major. I've got over 165k miles on mine with a K04 and tune making over 300 wheel hp and it's still going strong. Plus, you have the TSI engine unless it's a Golf R. The first year for the TSI is 2009 in the final year of the MK5. 4 general failure points of the TSI has are the timing tensioner, the water pump, the intake manifold and the PCV system. There are revisions on all these parts that drastically improve the life span of these engines.
Thanks for the info. I definitely agree on the maintenance thing and I think it just wasn’t taken care if like it should have been before I got it.
@@YoungWRX That happens a lot. It sucks to get a poorly maintained car you have to do damage control on
BS, these cars are a ticking time bomb past 100k, if DSG FW, will need flywheel replacement after 100k, transmission fluid every 40k at least. Balance shafts wear out at 100k with the clogged screens design, the same for the cam bridge. The intake cam fails from wear, the water pump, oil pump. After 100k, unless you work on the repairs yourself, it will incur easy 5k in repairs. They also suffer from bad control rings, creating excessive valve carbon buildup, and the intake manifold flaps fail at 100k or less.
And before I forget, the timing chain and tensioner, and many models suffer from the dreaded airbag error code.
Try to sell It through any online buying store, Caravana, CarMax, you will get loose change.
The wheel bearings maybe will last around 80k miles. I replaced all four of mine, only 110k miles, for the second time!!!!
FWIW: I just swooped up my buddy's one owner 2010 GTI with almost 200k miles on it. I literally flew across the country and then drove it back. It burned out the headlamps by the time Sunday night came and I had to drive with only running lights on the front with the fog lamps on and just followed other vehicles a few hundred feet back to make it home. I drove for nearly 16 hours each on Sat and Sun and she had drank about a quart of oil.
I got home and ordered about $300 worth of various maintenance and replacement items, including new HID headlamps, a Euroswitch and OBDEleven dongle to turn off the god forsaken DRLs. That should help get more life out the HID headlamps. I also got the DSG filter and Valvoline DCT fluid off Rockauto shipped for $75 and of course engine oil/filter. My buddy gave me a new fuel filter, and air breather with the car to install.
I got 26 mpg with the A/C on going from California to NM at about 75 to 80 mph and about 28 mpg through NM and West Texas going 80 to 85 mph. I did a lot of drafting starting in East Texas and averaged 32 mpg with the A/C on until Sunday night when I backed off because the headlights were not working and tried to follow the slowest person on the road (Atlanta holy hell slowest person was going about 70 mph).
All things that you have said in video are common problems for mk6 gti and you need to be ready for it. Im also proud owner of mk6 gti and first things that I did on it were cleaning valves, pcv, new coils and plugs and valve cover gasket. Now 1 year and 15k miles later without any problems and I enjoy it
100 %
Dam. I guess my 2010 gti is a unicorn bc she's still hoping strong
When I bought mine the engine was also crap. And I had to rebuild the whole engine now it runs smoothly and i service it🎉
I bought my mk6 gti.. already spent over $1,600 in repairs ☹️ still love my golf though. I used to own a mk3 gti vr6.. always going to miss that car
Same think in my 2012 golf r, I have no faith in it lmao I’m on my second motor. Going to pick it up from the shop today, hopefully it doesn’t die lol 😂
Dang man hopefully it lasts you with this new motor 😂 Im trying to get rid of mine because I got a good deal on a tdi so I don’t really need it lol
@@YoungWRX on the way now to get it actually lol
@@richardmohan1037 did the engine worked well in this 4 months?
@@reiayanami1441 I was great actually ran wonderful on my Stage 2 tune buttttt . An altima hit me and totaled my Gofl r
@@richardmohan1037 sad shit homie, always the altima driver do the most retarded shit, was that guy a basket american?
I have a 2011 mk6 GTI. I had to get an updated intake manifold, valves cleaned, and rear main seal. Your car is fine, VW GTI's are money pits but if you do the work the engine will keep going.
Most reliable GTI ever made was the Mk4 24v GTI VR6. I've had mine for 21 years as my daily, with NO issues whatsoever! TWENTY ONE YEARS! Incredible.
I’d love to have a mk4
Sweet video bro! Get rid of the gti and buy my tdi. 45mpg all day son
I might have to take you up on that offer😂
@@YoungWRX just hmu whenever. I'm trying to sell it to a friend that way she stays around
Such a bummer to see, the FSI motor is kinda crap from what i've heard.. I've had my 2009 (mk5) GTI with the TSI in it for about a year now, and the car has been rock solid. I'm a little bit worried about the DSG being an issue down the line, but as far as I know the TSI is much much better
From what I’ve been reading it’s mainly the carbon build up, timing tensioner, and oil consumption. The carbon build up can be a problem on any direct injection motor I guess it’s just more prominent on this one. I’ve heard a lot of good things about the DSG I know it’s recommended to do a trans service every 40k miles tho. The car has been doing good for me for the most part tho other than the slight misfire at idle due to the valves and a couple oil leaks which were fixed.
Bullshit....i have FSI in my mk5 gti and after doing pcv valve replacement I,VE NEVER HAD MORE RELIABLE CAR
These cars should be reliable
Just get a prius or a corrolla for a daily. Great gas mileage and bullet proof.
a tdi is a turbo diesel bro lol 165 thousand on a tdi is like having 40000 or 60000 on your gti 165000 is it just being broke in they usually last longer unless you get it and put performance parts on and not tune it basically make fuel out pace the flow of air and than you will break it fast as hell because they will build soot on the turbo and other parts in it from blowing black smoke
And it will keep breaking on a regular basis. Get rid of it before you have the oil consumption problem.
It’s that bad huh?
@@YoungWRX Yep, happened to mine and was going to cost $9K to fix. My suggestion is to make it someone else problem.
Keep your car, its worth it. Spend a little extra $$$ to keep it going.
I ended up selling it and getting a tdi. It’s originally what I wanted and I like it a lot more so it’s a win win. The gti was intended to be a daily driver anyways so I didn’t want to dump a lot of money into it.
@@YoungWRX grats on the new car!
Thanks
I am curious why would you want a TDI over a GTI?
For it being a daily driver I just wanted the bit more reliable option and I would say that’s the tdi. Just my opinion. It’s been good to me so far
