200k Mk5 Golf GTI gets a 2.75" MILLTEK cat-back!
Просмотров 1,5 тыс.8 месяцев назад
New OEM exhausts for the Mk5 GTI are made of unobtanium these days. I could not find a new one and used ones were all hundreds of miles away (and wanted silly money for postage) so I did the next best thing and bought a Milltek 2.75" cat-back system, resonated and with their small-volume rear silencer (that's volume size, not volume noise. it is louder than their normal silencer) milltekshop.co...
I bought a (nearly) 200k mile Mk5 Golf GTI
Просмотров 1,2 тыс.8 месяцев назад
I needed a winter beater so I decided to do the sensible thing and buy a (nearly) 200k mile hot hatch... I am only the 2nd private owner, it is a bit rough around the edges but will make a fine project to tart up when the weather gets better in the spring. This is a little video of my journey to collect it and my first impressions. #mk5 #golf #mk5gti #volkswagen
Appreciate a hard working man, respect. But watching you spraying those many coats without a mask was a bit scary, best of luck and take care sir.
Was this car used as a boat previously. That's a ton of corrosion
This is just how every car ends up after 10+ years of driving in a shitty climate on Northern Ireland roads lol
Aye, you’re not wrong.
Good video mate. Can you safely jack from the rear subframe?
I honestly would not recommend jacking your car from anywhere other than the official jacking points supplied by the manufacturer in the user handbook. All it would take is for the subframe to bend slightly under the pressure, and it will be ruined.
@SIBUK the subframe is what’s holding the whole car up anyway. It’s a substantial bit of metal and designed to hold the load. Even as rusty as that old subframe was it showed no sign of movement. Subframes are (almost) universally a suitable point for a jack as they transfer the load into the frame of the car. Thanks for your comment though. Appreciate it.
Very nice. I can't believe all that rust was on the outside. I was expecting there to be huge holes everywhere where it had eaten it's way through from the inside.
Hope this isnt cheeky to ask but what did you pay for it?
More than I should have. A lot of the damage was hidden under the sill and only exposed once the outer was cut away.
@@gpi_eightynine yeah it's a shame with these cars, wish they protected them better from the factory. Best of luck with your example!
how is it after 5 months?
I wish I could say, I sold this not long after I did it to make room for a Volvo V60 for my wife. The reviews on Amazon from others seem like it should be a decent long term option.
Did you torque the control arms when they were on driving height.? Very important
Yes. You’ll see there is a jack below the hub raising it to hight.
The hardware is cheap steel with zinc coating that wears off in no time. Mazda is also ripping people off with the stupid / fake electronic rust prevention module. An electrical engineer took a few different ones apart to reveal they are all fake but was threatened by manufacturers with a lawsuit so he removed the videos .
Best off with an 80 grit flap disc to get the rust off
did u had the oem exhaust with original rear silencer and with a middle silencer dummy?
Yeah, it had a centre resonator delete with the original back box. Sounded awful, droned like mad below 4k rpm
i need something loud😂. the milltek exhaust is too quiet for so much money😅.
For the subframe-to-body bolts, isn't that just corrosion from trapped salty water? A bit of sealant would keep out any moisture in future. BTW if your rear subframe bolts are rusty, the front subframe rear bolts probably are too... Might be worth just replacing those bolts (one at a time).
It’s definitely caused by salt corrosion, probably a combo of trapped water and the subframe flexing about on loose bolts. I’ve got a full set of new hardware for the front ready for when I do the dead-set kit along with the front control arms.
Good morning!! I'm watching the videos at once, this model of Golf doesn't have it in Brazil!!!
Good morning, friend, cool DIY videos!! Oh the good thing that the tools are cheap, here in Brazil it's all expensive, used car and tool then
I have been thinking about doing this to my MK5 GTI Fahrenheit. Thank God you posted this video. I was starting to think it was too daunting to do it myself. Could you post a list of all the parts you ended up getting for the job?
Great job👏👌
Top work man, cannot beat looking at brand new running gear and bolts under the car. 👌 did you use a socket removal tool on the bolt shaft or stud extractor? Link to what you used if possible. I had to use vice grips on chopped steering rack bolt on mk4, got lucky that time... 🙃
This is the extractor set I used amzn.eu/d/bX0tlDA, it's holding up pretty good for being a cheap buy.
@@gpi_eightynine nice, I'll keep that in my saved for lagers 😁👍
Got a mk2 leon that needs this done. Can't find anyone in south lanarkshire that will do it. You made it look easy, great job
Great video this is something I’ve needed to do to mine been putting it off tho but seeing you do it has motivated me to do it. Thanks 🙏🏽 😊
Cheers man. Hope it goes well for you!
Nice work. Can you please drop the link for the subframe and the bolt retainers.

The shop that replace sills need to return your money. Also you can't do rust protection and repair outside while it is raining. what you needed to do - in hot dry day: wire wheel, rust reformer, wire whell rust reformer and so on whyle there is nothing. Then you need two part primer, with rattle cans it will just rust again in few monh. After that you fill the sill with wax based protection spray. And should resprey it from the small hols every 2-3 months. But from what i can see from you other videos car is a gonner. I enjoyed your videos
all the paint used was precatylised 2-part cans. we'll see how well it holds up but the car is far from gone.
Brilliant indeed
Rain-X is brilliant stuff. Pissing it down on a motorway in the dark, wipers not required.
It’s a must have up here where it seems to rain 90% of the time!
What about cleaner and conditioner first then finishing with a clear coat?
Honestly couldn't say, I just followed the instructions in the kit I bought and it worked out perfectly.
Frankie Boyles bodyshop
😂
who welded that stevie wonder id be raging
I’m pretty unimpressed with it if I’m honest but it’s at least structurally sound now. It’s at least better than what it would have turned out if I did it myself. Maybe I should get some welding lessons and have a go at redoing it at some point?
They usually start to rust inside the rockers. Are you missing the rubber plugs under the rocker panels?
They were all present but likely let some water in at some point which slowly rotted it out over time. They have some Dynax cavity wax in them now so should be good for a while.
nice to see someone using deox gel. it didnt remove all the rust in the pitted areas because it needs a thick 2-3mm coating and being left for 24 hours with an occasional agitation, really stubborn patches will need another application or even three.
That’s something I found out after completing this project. Good info for next time. The 2 (thin) rounds of deox gel and finished with 2 coats of hydrate-80 should give good enough protection. Provided no more oxygen can contact the steel it should halt any further corrosion.
Wow thats impressive
It’s such an impressive kit and incredibly easy to use. Was the only thing really letting this Mazda down so needed sorting before it got sold. Worked out cheaper than a new steering wheel and looks almost new
Crazy how theses still hold there value with crazy milliage look forward to the videos 👍
anyway you did a good job
good morning, but where did you leave your car in a puddle? I don't understand how it can be so rusty!
Nearly 200k of Scottish roads which are as salty as the sea in the winter months. A lot was hidden under the side skirts but it was pretty much rotting from the inside out. I wouldn’t have bought it if I realised it was that bad tbf.
Keep up the great work. The average man doing stuff on his car is great. Reminds me of when I started watching Matt Armstrong but now he’s just too big to be interesting now.
Cheers for the kind words. Probably a while off rebuilding footballers Bentleys, maybe one day!
Great work there, making hay while the sun shines 😎 i take it the golf has lived up here for those 200k miles? My mates mk5 is the same... 🙃👍
Got to take advantage of non-rainy days here. It spent most of its time down in the central belt, they just love to rot from the inside out, it really didn’t look too bad from the outside but as you saw from the pictures it was pretty far gone.
Done a good job there well done👍👍👍
Thanks!
Well done dude ..keep vids comin pal
Thank man.
Touch up!!!!!! Shudder to think what state the integrity of those chassis legs is internally. Looks like the thing was parked in the sea for half it's life.
It was pretty disgusting. Thankfully all the rot is out on both sides and this was just taking care of the surface corrosion. The nearside was by far the worst and has had the full inner and outer replaced. Offside was replaced to where the welds are in the vid as the centre was ok (surprisingly)
Much sound change after a few months? Just ordered the same unit.
Got a little deeper. Nice rumble. It’s very good, I’m sure you’ll love it!
Cool stuff!!!
Need to do the fog lights to match
That would be cool, might be on my to-do list!
What did you pay for the gti I have a 198000 mile one just curious to see how much there going for with high mileage like ours
between 1.5 and 3k I'd have thought, would depend on the history really. This being owned from new by the previous owner and having a full service history and all major stuff done (cam belt kit, cam follower ect) items done along with 4 brand new goodyear vectors (not cheap!) this was at the upper end of that. If it was a 5 owner car with part history you'd be mad to pay more than the lower figure.
Nice GTI ! Good luck with your project. RickGTI….. 🇺🇸
Thanks 👍
