The powered steering can be a bit fiddly. I have a Golf V from 03 that came with a botched rack when I bought it. Pulled an identical rack from another VW and put it in my MkV. Didn't get any codes anymore but the powered steering wasn't working. I disconnected the battery for a few minutes, reconnected, started the engine with the steering wheel in the middle, turned all the way to the right (hold for a few seconds), all the way to the left (hold), then back to the center. Afterwards you have to drive in a straight line for a short distance (slower than 20 km/h). I followed all these steps and suddenly my powered steering came on. There is an article describing this procedure on the Ross-Tech Wiki called VW Golf (1K) Steering Assist. Hope it helps the issue.
Sarcasm , you do realise that if the previous owners actually took care of the car the way they're supposed to it wouldn't be in this position, americans love neglecting their cars for no apparent reason it's one thing to be able to buy a car but to be able to afford everything that goes with it is another thing you people are the literal reason why the majority of cars get bad reputations
@@KingChadKennedy maybe americans would take better care of their cars if german automakers didn't rape them everytime they took it in for service. food for thought.
@@rizrz34 come to South Africa here's no R32's in this bad of a condition we take care of cars we know won't get repeated again just sometimes people sell a R32 with another R32 as a parts car because maybe the other one was neglected or in an accident but everyone that's for sale now is in perfect mechanical condition
and welcome back to our 11th video for this piece of shit that is unfixable. Stay tune for 110th video. This Chanel will never run out video material to shot.
So glad you put some proper wheels on it. I don't know why, but every car I see with wide/stretched wheels sticking out past the body instantly screams "POS" and this video series helps proves my point.
Nice touch leaving the lug bolt off the front wheel for the low shot - no reason to get people thinking this is to any real point of being finished yet! 😂 Loving the videos and contrast with the orange R32 build by Charles. Not sure if they are encouraging me to pick up a cheap R32 or Discouraging me to do so but at least they are entertaining.
Indy 500s are not the best but still really good. They used to be way cheaper but they're still a good value. They look super cool, have great feedback without being to harsh and the grip level in the rain barely drops off at all.
I had a buddy who ran those on his nismo sentra that was at 240whp and he said it spun 2nd. He then got a Focus ST and put General Gmax RS’ on that and was dead hooking first
I never felt so sketched out in the rain on any other tire than Indy's. Maybe its just california rain? I had less of an issue with Falken 615k+s on the other hand until they were starting to bald out
$700 for 4 tires , Florida weather, ive been using them for years. stage 2 gti. perfect match. why spend more? the gti only does so much... i remember when they were $99 each!
Keep up the good work! Its always a joy watching your videos. Entertaining and educational at the same time, with or without Charles. You guys are cool faces! Wish you all the best, greetings from Hungary!
These sound so good with an exhaust. This video just goes to show that you should spend the money up front for the best car you can. Of course that doesn't make nearly as good of a video....
100% correct. A regular person should always spend the money to buy the best version of a car you can. If you paid a shop to do what we have done to this car it would be obnoxiously expensive.
Always interesting to see what kind of oddball stuff one can find on a car. Those Philips screws are hilarious. It begs the question though...Paul seemed a bit angry...would he have enjoyed working on CIS rather than dealing with these DSG issues 😅. Great episode as always!
I saw your previous video. A bolt that can puncture the water jacket is a serious design flaw. Not a normal VW problem. But love the VR6. Sorry I missed that era.
"we made it exactly this far last time!!! before it started puking coolant" lol "We probably shouldn't go too far , we just literally slapped the car together. we haven't looked over it at all" LMFAO
Those tyres are the Bridgestone RE002 that have been out worldwide for ages, rebranded to sell as Firestones and Indy's in new markets as a budget performance tyre (originally launched in 2011)
Going thru the some of the same stuff with my 2006 audi A3 3.2, doing the exhaust, suspension motor and transmission mounts and control lower control arms and tye rods.
I had an issue with my R32 power steering just after dropping the front sub frame, almost purchased a second hand rack but decided to investigate further, I think your rack/s will have the same issue. 1 Research I done indicate that each model Golf runs a slightly different program for the power steering module and only VW can program them so best to stick with the original rack if you can. 2. The Golf MK5 racks were dodgy, most were replaced by VW under warranty. 3. Some or all of the replacement racks they used were originally intended for MK6 cars (You can easily check as the replacement racks had 1 less mounting bolt, so there is an unused hole in the sub frame when a MK6 rack is fitted. 4. The Mk6 rack had a different plug, so the MK 5 plug was spliced into the Mk6 rack. 5. On my car they had simply twisted the wires together and then used insulation tape. 6. Water gets into these poor joins and corrodes the wires. 7. Disturbing the rack disturbs the joins and then no connection (As in my case after dropping the sub frame on my car). 8. Either check the wiring for continuity or bulges where joins were made. 9. Redo the joins (You may have to add some additional wire as the moisture/corrosion could have worked its way along the wiring. Solder the joins and then silicon and heat shrink for longevity. Good luck with the build. For some reason R32's get under the skin more then any other car!
Hi Paul. I have a Gen 2 steering rack for the MK5 R32 that came off mine as I upgraded to a Gen 3. Don't know if you are interested. In addition, check to see if the SWCM is installed or damaged, hence maybe it is not registering the current one you have.
Hi I wrote this under the previous video with this car, but not sure if somebody checked it! I have noticed that your V-belt on the most bottom pulley - next to the AC compressor - is not routed correctly - should be routed under the pulley not above.
Amazing video, I have a question though. I recently bought a 2012 Volkswagen CC Sport, No warning lights on the dash apart from the Coolant light flashing and extremely low oil which im assuming I just need to refill but after further looks the oil is leaking somewhere from the passenger side. Stupidly before I noticed the oil leak I've started it 3 times without noticing there was no oil in the engine, on the 3rd start it started tapping but I assume it isnt a rod knock since it didnt speed up as I moved the car it almost sounded like plastic hitting each other?? what could cause this oil leak? I bought it from the auction. This is my first car! This car is overall VERY clean and has no real issues so far apart from what I've mentioned The RPMS sit at normal RPMS and she starts right up with no issues.
Not that i don't trust your mechanical skills here Paul, you might just want to tripple square...er, check that thing over before Wookies unless you want to get a closer look at the trees off the side of the dragon. ;-). Great video though, it's showing me how careful you have to be buying a car from someone who says "i do all my own work, oil changes every 3k, never driven in the rain".
lol, calling Indy 500's the new hotness... I've been running them on my BMW's since like 2017, back when they were actually dirt cheap. If you can only have one set of tires to do it all, they're a great all-arounder. They look aggressive, have good dry and wet grip, last a decently long time, don't seem to care about camber or aggressive alignments, and they're quiet enough. That being said, they overheat and get greasy pretty quickly at the track, so I've switched to having dedicated track wheels/tires and a quieter, more comfortable street tire setup.
Those Firehawk Indy 500s are OK. They are not very sticky at all compared to more modern UHP tyres that almost grip like track day tyres (Potenza Sport, ExtremeContactSport 02, Pilot Sport 4S etc), but they have a stiff sidewall for a nice, predictable feel.
Step 1: use a #2 phillips bit in a #3 head Step 2: approach head with an odd angle Step 3: use not enough pressure Step 4: go full bore, no clutch on your drill/driver Step 5: just keep going no matter what is happening

Petition to call it the R Turdy Two
“This is our 4th video on this car and we have yet to fix anything!” Priceless!
Sounds about right 😂
😂 that's my favorite part of the channel
That comment earned the video a like. 😂
This is real life project car 😂
It’s a VW, nothing stays fixed.
"I've never polished a turd so hard in my life". Worth the whole video. Thank you.
Seconded 😂

Mk 5 chassis has aged really well. Still looks really good
Yes, but, r32 mk4 looks better
As does the mk6. And Mk3… And Mk1, 2, 7, and 8 😆
I say this as a former Mk5 R32 owner. I absolutely adored that car, but they’re not pretty imo, lol
except the price...you can buy 2 mk5s for one mk4 r32 lol@@phyll24
Mk6 combines both. Old and New
Selling my MK5 Rabbit was the biggest automotive mistake I have ever made.
DAS AUTO. The life of fixing an almost 20 year old Volkswagen.

Agreed. Flush fitment all day, poke = puke 🤮
love the shorter video length - helps prevent channel fatigue
All the way from south africa 🇿🇦 I don't have a car but I enjoy what you are doing to this car😊
This car is content gold.
Wow, those wheels and headlights really changed the look of the turd32. Nice to see an update finally!
I’ve not laughed so hard at this many “one liners” in so long 😂
The only loose nut you missed in this video - Charles! I can’t wait for the next misadventure/project.
as a proud owner of an r32 (#3948) i just subscribed because you swear like an actual adult.
Ive never really been a volkswagen fan, but I feel like Im starting to become one for some reason. Interesting little cars.
I've been using the Firehawk Indy 500s for years! excellent bang for your buck. hi-pro summer tire . $600-800 for a VW
Enjoyed the video, have had mine 6 years now and is a daily.

Loving the videos and contrast with the orange R32 build by Charles. Not sure if they are encouraging me to pick up a cheap R32 or Discouraging me to do so but at least they are entertaining.
Just watched the first 4 minutes of the video and I feel you and the car have a special bond already! 😂😂😂 ❤❤❤
Paul is my spirit animal.. I’m gonna need that Paul Install.
Indy 500s are not the best but still really good. They used to be way cheaper but they're still a good value. They look super cool, have great feedback without being to harsh and the grip level in the rain barely drops off at all.
I had a buddy who ran those on his nismo sentra that was at 240whp and he said it spun 2nd. He then got a Focus ST and put General Gmax RS’ on that and was dead hooking first
I never felt so sketched out in the rain on any other tire than Indy's. Maybe its just california rain? I had less of an issue with Falken 615k+s on the other hand until they were starting to bald out
$700 for 4 tires , Florida weather, ive been using them for years. stage 2 gti. perfect match. why spend more? the gti only does so much... i remember when they were $99 each!
They look a lot like Bridgestone re003s
@@startodo That's because they're the same tire actually! Bridgestone owns Firestone and renamed the RE003s for the states
Been waiting 1 day for this, watched the other ones on the R yesterday 😂 so glad came across your page
Keep up the good work! Its always a joy watching your videos. Entertaining and educational at the same time, with or without Charles. You guys are cool faces!
Wish you all the best, greetings from Hungary!
Paul’s banter and shitting on the bullshit DIY stuff he finds always has me in stitches
We recently picked up a mk6 golf with a blown 2.5 to fix up and it really got the mk5 treatment 😂 we picked it up with 350,xxx miles😮
That 30 second cutaway montage of the R thirty poo had my sides splitting.
Sharp looking car, unbelievable cluster of problems. I like it.
if i ever open my coolant tank and see gearbox oil i also will put new coilovers and exhaust on the car
perfect example on how to work on your VW, throw suspension and wheel upgrades without fixing the power steering lol
01:45 I can't remember the last time I laughed at something this fucking hard
Now that my car is running again I can try to enjoy these videos.
My favorite kind of video. Wish the humble mechanic was there to complete the dynamic duo
Legit in tears at the screw stripping comments 😂😂😂
Loving this series, if it takes 4 videos to fix 1 thing, you will have content for months
i can say, those tires are really good. got them on my A4...does the job.
I want to see cleaned and polished calipers too, would look sick!
These sound so good with an exhaust. This video just goes to show that you should spend the money up front for the best car you can. Of course that doesn't make nearly as good of a video....
100% correct. A regular person should always spend the money to buy the best version of a car you can. If you paid a shop to do what we have done to this car it would be obnoxiously expensive.
Omg I’ve been waiting for an update video for what feels like forever
Turns out that if you put together a 'sexy car montage' of a highly polished turd, it just looks even more turdlike.
I have the Indy 500 on my 2018 GTI. Really pleased with them and would buy again. Great video!
Always interesting to see what kind of oddball stuff one can find on a car. Those Philips screws are hilarious. It begs the question though...Paul seemed a bit angry...would he have enjoyed working on CIS rather than dealing with these DSG issues 😅. Great episode as always!
I want to see you and Charles race after you guys finish
Maybe a drag race 40 roll and an autocross???
I saw your previous video. A bolt that can puncture the water jacket is a serious design flaw. Not a normal VW problem. But love the VR6. Sorry I missed that era.
*Xzibit: ..yo, I heard you like transmissions..."*
Sooo glad you got rid of those headlights!
"we made it exactly this far last time!!! before it started puking coolant" lol
"We probably shouldn't go too far , we just literally slapped the car together. we haven't looked over it at all" LMFAO
“That milkshake brings all the boys to the (junk) yard”
Those wheels are really cool-the unique 10 spoke design look like you plastidipped your old 10 spoke wheels.
So very glad to see a new full length video from you guys...even if it was on the turd 🤪 Excited to see what comes next 👌😎

omg i waited 1 month for this beautiful video😊
Me not realizing I watched 3 videos with zero progress cause I was laughing too hard
Finally after months of waiting
Paul has had it with that car 😂
Love how much this has really been in the spirit of owning an older VW, I feel so seen 🥹 awesome video, glad this car got saved! 👏
This video should make anyone not want to buy an old VW. But oddly enough, I want one even more. 😂
I like the old headlight housing
The turd line….was a hard bar😂😂😂😂
If all else fails, add a bumpin' sound system.
7:48 that cc in the back reminds me of my 3.6 vr6 cc I lost to a drunk driver.
The paint is the flaking icing on this beautiful turd
A legit looking polished version😎
I like your humour! Keep it up!
Awesome work guys i love your videos and humor amazing

I hope you put the rest of the lug bolts on soon!
Put a short set screw in bottom of hole with the goop (and leave it in), shorten the bolt if needed.

I mean once power steering is figured out this car is not bad! Ima sucker for mk5
Always wanted one of these, but with the insurance cost and upkeep it just don't make sense financially 😢
This thing is looking great from what is was 🤘🏻
Time to do an 3.6L swap!
Awesome work! Love your videos.
Hi I wrote this under the previous video with this car, but not sure if somebody checked it! I have noticed that your V-belt on the most bottom pulley - next to the AC compressor - is not routed correctly - should be routed under the pulley not above.
This is when i smiled and liked the video 3:38
I think R-Turdy Two would be an appropriate name for this car lol
I like how this channel never makes me want to buy a Volkswagen.
I think a 200k mile car that’s been molested isn’t a great comparison to the average owner experience
Its good. Its nice. Make it shine next.
Finally it get some well deserved love.
12:38 When you were presenting the R32, was that a cow mooing, or the lift making noise that you laugh about every time you lower a car from the lift😂
This video really showcases the lengths you’ve gone through to shine a turd. I vote for a cost breakdown versus buying a good condition R32…
I don't know why, but I just do not believe Tornado Red belongs on the base Golf/Jetta nor the R. GTI/GLI only. It matches the accent markings!
You need to keep that front bumper the way it is to show how you’re a true mk5 boi.
Cant, I’ll have to start vaping instead
More r32 videos please ,I’m about to get one
