- I bring my new to me Golf RS home after getting the base golf out of the backyard :) Now I need to get the Grey Golf R towed back to the shop then I can start tearing down the 2.5 07k engine!

Missed my Monday upload so I stayed up till 4AM doing this one 😅 Better late than never.
Do not be pressurised to post the videos :)
There's no point in making a video schedule if I'm not gonna follow through!
Dont stop posting bro your content is too good
@@pilotchris4697 I did not say it was not good ;)
Thanks my dudes
Cylinder turbos always sound awesome. I had the same issue with my hood latch. I sprayed the bottom cables of the latch with wd40. Also if you can get some in the cable for the pull itself helps. I spray it every oil change now. Looks like your getting blow by with those two wet plugs.
I didn't know the hood latch getting stuck was a common problem. Where on the cable itself do you spray? And yeah probably blow-by on 1 and 5, possibly on 3 and 4 as well (wet pistons). We'll see as it comes apart what the head, cylinder walls and ring gaps look like
@@FAZEDTom I didnt think it was either. Probably the NJ weather doesent help. Had an issue with both my mk6s. I spray the latch mechanism on the hood, then the two parallel metal "bars". I also lubricated the actual cable and housing connecting the latch and hood pull. "Dry lube" with teflon or silicone for bike cables and chains works great.
Is it smoking at all? Might be rings since all the plugs aren't wet. I'd compression test it.
You have a catch can or an upgraded pcv system, they help with blow by, especially if your running high boost.
To get coils out two zipties looped and put up so much easier
Good idea man, I'll try this next time. Thanks
Zip ties work wonders for pulling plugs I prefer it over the coil popper I got off of ECS. Pop the harness off and loop on the ties and just pull. Takes me 20 minutes to do spark plugs on my R.
Finally home! Can’t wait till I can watch the tear down and all that 5 cylinder sexiness!!!
Lol I can't wait either! I'm working on getting this grey r out of the backyard so that I can start asap
I had a problem with my hood latch on my R. Ended up temporarily swapping it with a pick and pull latch I snagged off a TDI for a few bucks. Knock on wood, the latch pull inside the car can take a lot of beating
Oh yeah? I had never heard of anyone having issues with them. Was it getting sticky/rusty like this one?
@@FAZEDTom pretty much and wd40 only helped temporarily. I even tried soaking with white lithium grease which also helped out, but still once it dried again after a month or two, it sometimes needed a second person outside of the car wedging the hood up a little to get it to unstick and fully release. I just think all these double action latches will naturally get worse and dry out over time especially with water hitting it from the front. The gap there between the emblem and the lever is big enough that it doesn't create a perfect seal unlike a lot of manufacturers that have a rubber seal between the upper grills of cars and the hood keeping things mostly dry and free from road debris. For our cars, once they do get nasty from road grime and other bullshit build up where there is no more grease in the lever action, they just fail completely. At least the design is way better then the mk4, b5/b5.5 pull style latches. I've had a few of those fail on me as well and they are a PIA.
Sounds sooo good 5 cyclinder life
Sounds good, cant wait to hear some crackles on downshifts from the 2.5R. Any plans on tracking or doing something of that sort with the blueR?
Thanks Ray, I can't wait either! I feel obligated to track the blue r a few times because it's already set up so well for track use. It'd be nice to learn the limit of this car
@@FAZEDTom definitely, it would make for some cool videos to see how well the R would handle on a autoX or regular course.
Woohoo, finally home. I think I am more excited about the upcoming videos and watch your teardown.
I forgot, is that 2.5 engine built? Depending on which rings they used, you may have blow-by. But that shouldn't be too bad. What is a bit weird is, is that 2 of your cylinders appear to run lean; white spark plugs, and the others maybe rich; black ones. Maybe you have to check out the fuel system and see if the all the injectors are working.
Yeah it was built about 900 miles ago haha. I'll have literally everything checked just to cover my bases haha
Damn man that thing sounds insane. When you first mentioned the 2.5 in the R i was like nooooo. But now i cant wait to hear it on full boost😂🔥
Haha thanks they sound absolutely nuts revving to 8-9k with a good exhaust, I can't wait 🤘🏻
which ecu is the golf running ? free programmable or oem jetta / rs ?
It's running a Jetta ECU
im trying to put a 2.5 in my gti if you could give me tips i’d really appreciate it
I don't really have any general tips but if you want more info and help on thr swap I can try to help you. Just DM me on IG fazed.yt or Facebook fazed Golfr
Do you use a chest mount and/or a head mount?
I use a head strap. I had the steering wheel super low in this so you couldn't even see the cluster, woops. I'm gonna experiment with some other angles though. Think this one is too high?
I wanna 2.5t swap my golf r
Do ittt
If you started a Patreon to let us help fund these builds I'd be down to support. Maybe get some supporters name on a sticker on the roll cage or brace? Just thinking out loud tho😂
Haha that's a sick idea! I started a Patreon but didn't know what to provide to my supporters. I was thinking merch but I currently have zero time to plan that out haha. I do like that sticker idea haha. Thanks evo
“There’s ticking coming from engine”....”I hear knocking coming from engine”......still makes some pulls 🤔
I made one second gear pull 🤣 The whole engine is coming apart anyway and boost is nearly turned off. I drove the car with the seller so I knew nothing crazy was going to happen.
Just give up with cars, it's painful watching you continually fuck up decent motors
🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️I bought this car like this. On my other car, I bought a f#*&ed up engine. Then a shop rebuilt the engine and f#*&ed it up. Thanks for paying attention man. Have a great day
