Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 жов 2024
- In this episode myself and Charlie from CG Motortech (Charlie is a VW specialist). With the help of Dan, do the repairs on the UK's Cheapest VW Volkswagen Golf mk5 GTI! We replace the offside front road spring and roll bar link. Two new front tyres and an oil change for good measure! Guest appearance from Penny too.
Parts were purchased from my man Oliver at Bennetts in Leighton Buzzard. Using Apec as they are a good middle ground part.
I had Kuhmo Exsta PS71 225/40/18's fitted to the front.
Mat Armstrong eat your heart out lol 😆.

Another great vid Mikey! Lets give it the Dachs treatment down at CGR HQ 👊🏽
With pleasure the GTI deserves the best!
Great work. Couldn’t believe that spring didn’t do any damage
You and me both! Very lucky
So happy to see Penny again!! It's the only reason I watch nowadays 😂😂😂
Well she is the star! What about poor pablo?
Ha! Well, seeing him and Rosie eat the ice cream at the Flitwick show was just toooooo cute ❤❤
The oil u can put 5w40 as well as 5w30 both of them work good for them engines 👍
Great tip! 5w40 might make them a little less noisy too?
Great work as always! Gotta be happy with the bargain repair 😎
You got that right!
Great progress. Nice
Thanks, I like to think so!
This is going very well so far! Those parts look like they were supplied by someone very experienced and helpful 😅😂
Don't forget handsome too!

Thank you for your help! And thanks for making the effort to comment it too! 👍
Another great video, pleased to see it's passed the MOT. I love a mk5 GTi ❤ 👍
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks mate. I think I love a mk5 too now!
PS71s are decent daily tyres IMO
To be fair I'm happy with them, just take a little while to warm up!
Glad you fixed it! Wonder what’s going to go wrong next? 🤔
Hopefully nothing! But who knows! What do you think will go wrong??
@@usuallybrokencars hmmm… well high mileage golfs are susceptible to oil pressure problems, so keep an eye out for that.
@user-gu6fg3ty4m ahhh good to know thank you!
Mad to think you’ve got a road worthy Golf GTI for under £800!
Its crazy! I'm so chuffed with it!
That spring!
I know! Absolute state of it!
I have a 2009 one of these. Manual 5 door in black and I love it. I have it since early Feb 2013 now and it has 220,000kms on it but still going like a bastard. Those oil filter housings are always a bugger to open off. I used a plumbing wrench to get mine off last time. In my 11+ years, I have noticed that these engines seem to burn oil a bit. Mine had 72,000kms on it when I bought it and it never got any worse or better but I know of a few more people that had them and they had the same except 1 (weirdly enough). Does this car use up any oil between changes? Be interesting to know. Cheers for the videos. Going through them right now.
Thanks for watching! I'm really appreciative of it! Like all turbo cars they will burn some oil, and yes mine does to! I wouldn't let it worry you, as long as its not excessive and you stay on top of your maintenance and levels you should be great!
Did you find out what the squealing/air escaping noise was? Mine makes the same noise…
Yes! It was the pcv valve, mine actually just needed pushing further on, but they are very common to break as they become brittle, but fortunately they are a cheap and easy fix
The background music is annoying.......like being in an elevator in a posh Hotel.
Duly noted, any particular moment so I can look at what song I used??
This thing is such a bin!
Thanks! I'm happy for the money, I'd be interested to see what you can get for less than £800!
not a golf! something Japanese like a civic type R!@@usuallybrokencars
@@Michael-f8q ha good luck getting a type R for £800!
Where’s the JOMs bro?
Haha what are joms????
