Will Our Barn Find GTI Drive Again?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 июн 2023
- Last week we pulled an abandoned Mk2 Volkswagen Golf GTI barn find out of the place it was left in for 20 years. We tried to get it going but found that the engine was completely destroyed.
This episode we're going to do an engine swap for another original GTI engine, see if we can get it running and then take it on its first very brief maiden voyage. Will Jack, Ethan and Edwin manage to get the unloved GTI going?

This might be my favorite Car Throttle episode ever. Shout out to Edwin for being hilarious.
Yeah same, love seeing the building and explaining of issues :)
I’m with you on this. Edwin’s a comedic talent.
Did Edwin write this reply…? 🤨
They’re are all great but just loving Edwin’s OCD and dead pane humour!!
*Er ist bereit zum start, Wie er braust, Wie er saust, GTI. Wa-wa!!!*
"Kleiner GTI / Little GTI
Du siehst prima aus / well, you look so fine
Ich liebe, dich zu fahren / How I love to drive you
Hol’ die leistrung ‘raus / Let the performance shine
Hör nur, wie er sich anlasst / Listen when I start it
Steck’ den schlussel ‘rein / Stick the key in the ignition
Er ist bereit zum start / And it’s ready to go
Wie er braust / How it zips
Wie er saust, GTI. / How it zooms, GTI.
Werde bargeld, sparen / I’ll save up some money
Kauf’ den GTI / Buy a GTI
er fahrt mit mir lassig / ’cause it drives so easy
An den andren vorbei, / past the other cars
Uberholt benzinfresser / Passes all the gas-hogs
Macht mir spass dabei / Makes me smile a while
Und jedermann sagt sich dann bloss, / And everyone thinks to themselves
“Kleiner wagen-du bist gross” / “Little car - you’re grand”
Er ist bereit zum start / It’s always ready to go
Wie er braust / How it zips
Wie er saust, GTI. / How it zooms, GTI.
Wah wah… wah wah wah wah wah…."
Big up for keeping the 8v, too many people are swapping them out
I mean the reason they swap it is more fun and I’d take that any day
@@alexanderpsaras5663 but now days. A mk2 golf gti with it's oe engine is worth alot more than a engine swapped mk2
@@alexanderpsaras5663 they just make em undeliverable and everyone does it because it’s “easy power”
@DVL BRESE2240 whilst yes I agree stock is cool, newer engine is efficiency, power, reliability ect there's a lot of gains
I completely agree, I love the 8v engine in the Mk1 and this Mk2, if I owned any of them I would love to throw a turbo build on a 8v and make decent power for the car, like 200hp, it's easy power I would say and reliable power for the car, no reason to make it overpowered.
It's funny to see Ethan, Jack and Edvin to work together on a car and swear on each other.😂
Not sure if he caved in or just got wiser, but Ethan certainly doesn't look as disgusted and confused near cars as before.
The quality of this series is mega, well done lads ❤ More to come we hope!!!
really ? nah . yours look better mate . the guys are noobs
Edwin featuring more regularly is brilliant, he's really growing into things! Great work guys
Edwin is coming into his own here. Love that he’s the car nerd, Jack is the cool guy and Ethan is just…Ethan 😂
Loving Edwin's vibe and input. What a great addition to bring you back up to a trio!
I liked the bit with Ethan, a woodworker(I think still?), pick up a chisel thinking it was a headliner remover.
Anything’s a headliner remover if you’re brave enough!
@@danabc322 Very true!
Edwin is a brilliant addition - such an intelligent but articulate and funny character! Awesome work on the build so far - loving this series
Tbh I was concerned about Car throttle when Alex decided to do his own thing, but Edwin just fits in perfectly! Great addition 👍 looking forward to more of these 3 😁
These three together are class, keep it up.
This gti series has been the best. More please!
I love the 1.8T, but im actually glad you put an 8v in it. 😊
I was so happy when the engine kicked in. Great job guys! Makes me want to get a new project car myself.
This might be one of my favourite episodes of CT in ages. Well done lads.
My favourite episode yet!
I adore you guys working as a team. No real 'leader' just collectively working with one another with no ego. You guys smashed it!!!
This dynamic is absolutely brilliant, I’ve always enjoyed car throttle but I feel like this era is elite!
This whole series is 11/10. Positively amazing. I love the persistence and good attitudes you guys show. you just don’t let it get you down.
Props to Edwin for taking time with his new pride and joy, cleaning it throughly and cleaning the parts up including the engine bay, nice to see someone actually take care of a car and give it the attention it deserves rather than trashing a car for no reason like Alex did unfortunately 😅
Wow Ethan is really getting comfortable working on cars now. That headliner install was super clean. I bet he did a better job at that than I would have.
Also it's great to have Edwin in front of the camera. I really like the vibes of you 3.
Keep doing what you're doing, it's pure greatness!!
“It does pay to be thorough” best quote ever Jack! I’m a laser service engineer and I can relate sooo much with this sort of advanced troubleshooting.
The ‘drive’ out of the workshop made me smile broadly. This is definitely the trio Mk2, great work chaps! 😂
Man, that first barely tacked together start and drive after a bigger project, is THE best. All the hours afterwards to get it buttoned up and right are so much easier just knowing it can work. Stoked for the rest of the series.
So true
Edwin needs to become a front-and-centre presenter, he's too funny. The three of you are great together.
Really enjoyed this episode.
This is so genuine and relatable. No scripted drama. I hope the rest of the K-Jet system works. It hates sitting with stale old fuel and is very pressure sensitive.
Just stumbled upon this channel and I instantly love it. I love all 3 of you together, it works so well.
If you lot were made the Top Gear presenters I would definitely start watching it again since Jezzer and the gang left 😂
Watched a few more recent videos and I think the Edwin edition is so complimentary to the team. More videos please!
All it took was for Alex to leave to turn this channel into pure and utter greatness. This is exactly the content we wanted.
He would have ripped stuff out, or used an angle grinder to remove the alarm, just for shits and giggles.
Why did Alex left?
@@BlazePunisherTR he made a channel of his own autoalex with another mate.
@@harrypsaunders when he cut the dashboard on that perfectly good Volvo V70 was the moment i realised I'm too old for that sh*t😂
@@paulcfyeung Funnily enough he's not as destructive now he's got his own channel. Maybe it make a difference if it's his own money he's smashing up!
Nice to see Edwin come into his own
Glad you went with the original engine guys instead of bastardising it with a vr6 that is way to heavy for the car. Enjoyed this and have done all of the jobs you did many times 👍
Thanks for saving this golf!! I loved the 2 episodes so far, I'm extremely excited for what's to come.
Got a clipper engine in our Country (98hp). After years of fettling it still conks out at junctions and runs way too rich. Good luck guys. These are a PITA to get running nice.
Absolutely loving this series so far! The technical aspect and the innuendos are hilarious. I was cheering when it "moved under its own steam" 😂
You can tell you love making this sort of content, great video. Would love to see you guys do more builds like this.
Loving this. I'd love to see a full restoration series on this car, I think we see too little of them once bought.
Have to say, I'm really enjoying these episodes with Edwin! Hope to see him in future episodes!
I'm loving the trio of Edwin, Jack and ethan
you guys made my evening, finally something good to watch on YT :)
Top video, lads. Definitely enjoying you three working together. Edwin has been a great addition
Since Alex's departure, this GTi series I've enjoyed the most, was actually excited when I saw this pop up on my feed. Keep it up lads
Ahh, the sweet smell of success. And coolant, obvs. Nice one guys.
Absolutely brilliant video. Love Jack and Edwin’s chemistry. Crazy quality 👏❤️
What a great series! Hope we see a decent amount of restoration!
This series is absolutely excellent, well done guys.
This is the stuff we want to see lads!! Keep it up. Cars we love being given the mechanical TLC they deserve and getting to see all the oily bits along the way...
Brilliant video really enjoyed it, can’t believe a video of an engine swap with no snapped bolts, no wrong parts and large amount of bad language, doesn’t seem real!
Impressive job guys! 😀 Nice thing bringing this markII GTI back to life 👍
My goodness I love the genuine enthusiasm you all have for this care. Best CT buy to date!
Yes! Been waiting for this!!! 😃
Lovely P38 👌🏻
Great video guys
Amazing! I'm so happy that y'all got this beauty running once again. I have an 88 GLI that hasn't run in more than 10 years, though I've gone through and rebuilt or replaced many components. I will try to trouble shoot the electrical system in the same way in hopes that I can have her running again. Keep up the great work gentlemen.
Good luck brother! Keep us posted
Would be so awesome to see this sweet GTI get properly restored =)
Good to see you keeping it original. Well done guys
this was so fun to watch and I can't wait to see the next episode well done guys
Absolutely love this series guys. Please do more vids restoring old cars 👍
So i've subscribed off of this double-bill. What excellent vibes all-round! So delighted when the GTI kicked into life, so so good! Excited to look back through the older episodes and see what gems I can find!
Good content! love seeing youtubers buy shit and turning it into something worth loving and absolutely love seeing a bunch of blokes who don't have much knowledge about cars working on cars. it's always funny and entertaining. Keep on making more!
This is the first video I've watched since Alex left and I have to say I'm loving it. I'll be back boys! Great episode.
Love the progression of the channel, it's good to see both you guys and Alex doing well!!
Been out for a while since Alex left...but to be honest this series has just brought me back right in.👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Having brought both my 8v and 16v mk2s back from the brink, its amazing how well they have survived and need basically a refresh and some bodywork to be back on the road 👏 great series and what a turnaround already 😎
Lovely! :) Top marks for keeping it standard, far to few original ones left now.
I love what you guys are doing. Can´t wait for next episode. Keep it up!
Found this by chance on Facebook. What a great feel good video! Love your work fellas!
Only the second episode I've watched, really enjoyed it. Was willing you on to get it started. Great work!
I love the simplicity of the 8v. I never owned one personally but have worked on them in a shop. Timing belts and maintenance is always quick and easy.
Loving this series. Edwin and Jack are my new favourite duo!
Absolutely loved this. The excitement, the will it? Won't it? Then the little problems that show up later, exhaust, coolant leak. It's what the car scene is all about. Fixing it all till it's perfect.
Loving this series keep up the great content ❤.
Brilliant work And cudos on keeping it "original" too. Love it. Thanks for the story lads. Can't wait to see the trip in it
Loving this episode ❤❤keep it up boys 🎉
Very nice video, this channel is reviving, glad to see it.
Lads, one the best CT videos I've seen in a long time! This is the type of stuff we've been dying to watch! Keep it up!!!
Congrats guys!!! So happy for you all.
Honestly I am enjoying this series so much - got me wanting and waiting for more episodes 😅
Great work guys and keep it up Edwin!
Brilliant work:) your doing a great job
Keeping the little gti original is the way to go.
Your a great team :) look forward to the next episode
This made me chuckle…glad you guys got it started and driving out of the garage!! ❤
Really hope you keep going with this. Would love to see it looking mint
Great episode lads keep it up! Loving the Juicebox jumper!
I absolutely love those cars! My sister has the MK2 Golf 1.8 and I have the Mk2 Jetta with the same engine. I hope to one day get myself a MK2 GTI.
Awesome work guys, keep it up!
Fantastic video. Lovejng this series. Please take it to the track when it's finished.
man this channel, its so amazing always brings a smile to my face. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK GUYS VERY PROUD OF YOU!!!!!
Matt at mk2 spares is amazing for parts
Excellent work boys I had every faith in you getting it running 🙌🏻 having Edwin in the mix is a very welcomed addition. Look forward to the next instalment
Love this channel.......Adam who! Well done Ethan, Jack and Edwin! You guys are now fully fledged mechanics!
Proud of you!!
I had an 85 in 2000, always blowing the main pump. Dirty gas tank was the issue. I put a lawn mower in-line filter before the main pump and it helped a lot.
Edwin and Jack are great together. Excellent episode.
Well done guys heroic effort and madness!
Best video in a long while. As someone with a 1989 4 door mk2 golf gti in hellos blue (for sale) that runs and drives but needs a lot of work. I will be following specifically to get her even more ready
We need MORE, Edwin is a great addition to the team, love his knowledge!
Alex who? 😂
“Now I’m the boy who lived”
Such a good line. Edwin is great on these videos!
So glad you have saved this golf! Need to take it on a epic road trip!!
Great series, loved this episode! Can’t wait to see more 😊
So good! I love having Edwin in front of the camera.
i had a small bumper GTI. 8v DX engine with a 268 cam and big valve head, quaife diff and yokohama tyres. it was a fucking beast.
I've had the same problem as ethan, just not being able to find smth right in front of me, lol
i love this video. brings me back to the days me and my mechanic buddy spending the whole night trying to figure out what's wrong with his car. may he rest in peace. 😞
I love that you're keeping it original! There's nothing like that first start and drive when refurbing a car like that. Nice work, and can't wait for the next episode!
This is great content, really enjoyed it. keep it up!
