This MK7 GTI was posted in a Facebook group for 3,000 dollars. The owner said it needed an engine and after talking to him, and looking over the car it was apparent it also needed cosmetic and maintenance work. Even though the car needed an engine, 3k is still a good price and we decided to take a chance on it.

DAP is the best balance of technical education and unadulterated verbal sarcasm. Can’t beat it.
yeah love that guy! wish he did more longer videos but hey! can't get everything.
The videos from 7 years ago are so weird by comparison! Paul is far less sarcastic and seems kinda nervous on camera, it's amazing how slick Paul's presentation is these days! He is a very funny guy.
Yes I'd volunteer to work there
Agreed!😂
Tru that
“They are aluminum bolts they will snap off” *throws them and they immediately cling to the magnetic tray* 😂😂
Some dealers put steel ones back in, but they’re supposed to be aluminum
Oh man! That ending 👀
That ending was so random but completely on-brand lmfao.
The wheels are from a Mk6 Jetta Autobahn Edition. I have them on my Mk 5 R32. Greetings from Germany.
they also look very similar to the mk7 TSI se wheels
Grüße zurück 😂
Dang why did that Husky carry so much pocket change?
Husky's love ice cream cones, that's why 🐶
Hookers and blow is my guess.
This video is why you bring your car to a pro.
True
This is wild… the car was clearly abused and neglected, not to mention how disgusting it is… but a $130 part fixed the major problem
I love that it feels like I am hanging out with friends in a shop with these videos. We get to see the jokes and fun being had rather than trying to make a serious video about cars. I don't even like German cars anymore and I still watch most of the videos you guys make. The only German car I have is an LS swapped 128i lol
The Auto Sportivo channel from England is fun too! They stuff around with Italian cars like FIATs and Alfas. Lots of cool cars like the FIAT Coupe Turbo and Alfa GTV6 sadly never came to North America.
German is sad u do not like german cars anymore 😪but i agree they have become to expensive and complicated / electronics to much etc i also only drive older cars tbh
@@TassieLorenzo The Alfa GTV6 was sold new in the US. My mom had one long before I was around. She has a picture of it somewhere.. from wikipedia: ...1975 to 1977 under the moniker Alfetta GT, renamed the Sprint Veloce for the final two years of availability in 1978 and 1979. It was one of Road & Track's 10 Best Cars For a Changed World. Finally, the V6 version was marketed from 1981 to 1986 as the GTV-6.
@@XanderRadev Oops, I meant the modern GTV6 the Type 916, not the Alfetta Type 116 (?). I guess it's meant to be called GTV V6, unlike the older model GTV6. Both very cool cars!
The ant genocide edit goes way harder than it should have 😂
Mr DAP has his butt handed to him on a regular bases with these crazy projects. This gentleman needs a win.
😂 Do you have ant traps on ShopDAP ? 😂
Maybe it’s time?
Yeah, I was looking for those on ShopDAP and it was just a bunch of VW stuff.
Deutsche Ant Parts, wait no that doesn't sound right
@@Naeromusiclolll😂😂
I don't even have a VW, but this channel is great entertainment.
I like how as soon as the VVT spool valve got replaced, all the concerns about having no coolant are instantly dismissed and the car is "fixed" 🤣
Clearly been run without coolant is perfectly fine and there could be nothing wrong with, say a blown head gasket or warped head
I literally was like but wait ADD COOLANT???
It was just low, not no coolant. There were no signs of overheating. It should be good. Sorry I didn’t make that clear once we found the problem
@@Deutscheautoparts makes sense.. I was way more concerned about being run without coolant than a vvt adjuster
Since coolant was missing, were there any visible leaks around the pump? especially if it was still the original pump..
Love this! You guys make this old MK1-3 tech get the itch to buy another Gnugen!
Yeah why does everyone think a low expansion tank means no coolant in the system? There's still is a radiator all the plumbing, and a heater core worth of coolant. The expansion tank is the proverbial tip of the iceberg. Not that it shouldn't be filled to proper level, but it isn't catastrophic if it's low or just empty noobs!🤦🏻♂️
i sold my stage 2 mk5 GTI w/ a blown motor for $3000 grand. with all the go fast bits on it and a new clutch it was worth that easily. dude and his kid put it back together and it's back ripping up the road. well bought!
'stage 2' . 🤣
stage 2 doesn’t matter much when the engines gone 🤣
Ant Massacre sounds like a great Alien Ant Farm tribute act.
They massacred my boy
Been having them get in my generator controllers at work and ruining them.
Would love to have more professionals like Paul as mechanics. Even here in Germany the mechanics working at VW have not this kind of knowledge. Love watching this kind of stuff!
Shoutout to Ric Flair keeping it real around town with companions
That ending got a proper LOL out of me. Thanks!
Had me dying 😂
Man I have a Mk7.5 GSW that i still consider to be a "new"(ish) car and it's so hard for me to wrap my head around another car of the same generation being this much of a basketcase already. Time flies!
crazy to me that the mk7 debuted back in 2012 for the 2013 MY for Europe. I still feel like the mk7 is still new.
Hope for the best... at 3000 dolars... 😂
finally a win!! This channel has become my favorite so damn funny, realistic, and relatable.
So... You are not going to dump in 3 DSGs like in the R Turd-ty Poo series!?
Honestly, my favourite bit of the whole video was the sneeze.
Shop DAP.
OMG The ending of the Ant Genocide had me in stitches! I love you all keep up the great work!!
Love these videos Paul 👏. Keep them coming
Awesome video. Very impressive to pick something up on a problem like that.
I love these videos. Funny and truly an expert at VW’s
Will there be more videos on this car? Not only is this entertaining but also quite informative. Tackled an upper timing cover because of the linked video and fixed a leak!
That’s wild, what a steal if there’s no further issues. Hell yeah my dudes 🎉
What are you doing with a 11 under the hood of a car ?!
😂
Just in case you break a tie rod and need a brace for a roadside welding repair
These videos are so fun!
Awesome. Nothing for satisfying than a easy fix when told it was a big fix
MAN I can’t wait to get my dream car “GOLF R” I love watching your videos and owning a VW again!
The camera guy heckling you the whole time is so damn funny 😂😂😂 I love these vids 😂😂
Watching this really makes me appreciate my mk7
I loved that color, it was only available in two years iirc- that's worth something.
Just like that,you motivate me guys
The ending!! My neighbors heard my laughter on that one.
It is nice that the sneeze made the final edit of this video.
This is prime time entertainment!
I thought for sure there was play in the timing. That was an awesome deal, just a little tlc and your good.
Spectacular. I watch this more for the comedy than for the tech talk :P
The interior needs a Charles spec HAZMAT clean, but it definitely seems like it is worth more than $3000 in parts or as a fixed car! :)
I don’t know why, but the way Paul sneezed cracked me up.😂
Best VW mechanic ever
Second video I’ve seen where display motor saves the day!
une bonne réparation pas couteuse et ca change complétement la done sur une auto avec un moteur a changé !!!! bravo et vivement la prochaine vidéo sur ce projet
Great video, I'm pretty sure i reused those upper timing cover bolts on my 1.8T 😳
*Goes to check*
Sometimes I think Paul has completely lost his mind and that’s what keeps me coming back.
Great video just got finished watching this video now I want to go to my garage and just take something off my car and put it back lol not for nothing I love vw I got a 2010 Jetta n the 2016 Tiguan r line love both I bought the Jetta was sitting for 4 years under a tree but for it runnnig in two days n I love it
Nice b roll at the end
Congrats!
Nice job..easy fix ...minus the cosmetic
Must be nice to have a literal parts warehouse in your same building so jealous
Great video! But um, hey how would you clean a GTI carpet that has at least mildew and possibly mold from rain leaks? I haven't had the time or motivation to take out my seats and carpet because I don't really have a solid idea of what the solution is.
Should I just buy new carpet and insulation? Or is it possible to get that carpet clean and usable without using crazy chemicals?
Please please please do an episode where you give this to a detailer to get absolutely mint 😍😍
Love the seats I wish those were in the jetta 💯
13:30 I needed this energy today
This was a great video, but I wish there was some sort of website I could go to for parts and more information - I don’t think I heard one mentioned? 🤔
I once heard of such a place........ www.shopdap.com/
If a 10 year old VW is only 3k then yeah definitely it’s a possibility something is seriously wrong with it
*definitely
im happy for u man. what a cheap fast nice car.
The previous owner watching this seeing all he needed was a 22 dollar part to fix the car 😂
I some time get low pressure warning but I already replaced the oil pump would I do the sensor next as a precaution car has ran fine for the last week since I’ve gotten the warning maybe a sensor is bad best case scenario
so this one wont be a money pit ? DISAPPOINTMENT
Fun video. Beware the "Revenge of the Ants!" Coming soon to a theatre near you.
Love your videos, I have a quick question for you, my 2016 polo gti needed the thermohousing replacing due to leak so I skipped the dealer £900 labour costs and did the job myself with oem part, the original part had 2 open ports(no valve) but the revised part had 1 open and 1 with valve, I was sceptical but after phoning the manufacturer before i started they said it was fine for my car and its the latest version,, all went well but I'm how finding the car gets hot very quickly, especially in the summer(uk) the top pipe is really hot and the lower pipe(directly under the top pipe next to the radiator) stays cold for along time, the fan barely kicks in now and after along time it finaly kicks in and the bottom pipe starts to warm up, the dial in cockpit stays at 90°, what are your thoughts on this as I'm tempted to strip it out again and remove the valve as like I said it wasn't in the original and the car used to run alot cooler....don't want to jellybelly my engine🤷♂️
Can we please get Paul on that full time RUclipsr train! We need more junk cars and sarcasm! 😅
Nice job
The mechanic said I had blown a seal
I said fix the car and leave my personal life out of it
The cup holder reminds of a time I tried to pick pocket a wookie 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Guessing now that it has a problem with the fpdm, will check back by the end to see if I'm right
Hi Can you make a video on replacing the audi 2.0T starter i have a A4 Q but no good videos on how to replace 🤝🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Hey. I have a quick question. I have an VW Golf 7.5 GTI Performance with 245hp. Im looking online and i didnt find any information about the timing chain replacement. When i need to change it? I live in Europe if its help.
VW service told me its lifetime chain so i dont need to replace it😅. I want to replace it in time.
Thank you so much if you can write me some information
Nice im having issues with my mk7 gti I replaced the volume button from the wheel but a couple days later I started having issues on turning on my car My stering wheel locked, brake pedals felt locked/hard and it did not let me turn the key fob to ignition on. Then the wheel unlocked but whenever I try to turn the engine on but it doesnt let me. What could be the issue?
Quick question. Which coils would you recommend for the ea888 2.0 T? Thought about it when you said not to go red
The major coil brands would be the best. Beru is going to be our most affordable high quality option
www.shopdap.com/zse137-ignition-coil.html
If you want the red ones I would only buy any of the main stream performance brand. www.shopdap.com/volkswagen/gti/mk7_2015_2017/2_0t_gen3/dsg_6_speed/fwd/finder-data/commonly-replaced/ignition-coils-upgrade.html
The major issue is that people buy just a random red coil thinking it’s better, and it’s often worse.
As a guy in search of a good affordable gti at the moment (inexpensive but not too high on miles or clapped - like this example)
I approve of this videos
Good luck
What coil packs do you recommend for staged tunes?
Why do people treat expensive cars so badly? It is obvious that whoever owned it really didn't care.
I know this question isn't related to this particular video, but I was wondering if you guys have ever built a 2.5 5 cylinder to make around 250 - 275 hp at the crank or the wheel while naturally aspirated? If such a thing is even possible idk, just curious
Why not use tuner lug bolts? I had to on my mk4 Jetta when I bought the Rotiform DTM wheels for it. The 5x100 bolt pattern bolt bore size was way too small for my OEM lugs. Just curious on your thought?
They aren’t meant for Oem vw wheels
Of course. Thanks. I figured maybe there was something else I was missing is all.
Damnn how can you sell your car before checking the spool valve when you get this code… so common on this engine. But really happy for you nice and easy fix. At my car it was the timing chain jumped 😢 but luckily engine is doing fine after replacing the distribution
Can you do a Audi 2.0t starter replacement pleaseeeee
As a detailer, I really want to clean this car. It needs a detailer baptism
The end of this one nearly made me choke on my chocolate cookie. Fantastic.
As long as your not misfiring and have good leak down test that’s a win right
God I love this channel
Love your videos, keep them coming! 😂
Quick thing, I want to purchase parts from your website but when I try sorting for my vehicle, it gives me “400 Bad Request” error.
Please try sorting by “2005 VW Jetta GLI 1.8t AWP” and you’ll see the error.
Looking forward to the fix so I can give purchase some parts.
Thanks Mr.Dap
We appreciate you considering us for your purchases. We are going to look into this right away
Thank you so much
Just blows my mind that people let their cars get this bad.
Would love to detail this
My Audi A4 has the Kessy door handles but it doesn't have Kessy. Maybe some cars they just put them on by default?
Before i continued to watch this video, i realised what the problem maybe from what the engine codes were as my 2008 1.9tdi polo had a similar code crank angle sensor and the car would start and shut down after a couple seconds, my thoughts is the timing is out and is causing the car to shut down to save the engine
Wait cheap aftermarket ignition coils does that include apr? I’m not familiar with what you recommend and I just put those in my mk7.5 lol
They should be fine. I was referring to non main stream branded version.
@@Deutscheautoparts ahh gotcha, thanks man appreciate the reply
What year is the car? How many miles were on it?
I made the mistake of watching the video while I was eating dinner.
My golf alltrack had that exact oil leak. It’s 100% the oil pan gasket. lol
Did Combat sponsor this video? Is there an Amazon link to buy some? 🤣
I think I am the only one who hasn't lowered a GTI. haha. I live where there are sh*t roads and just don't want the drama just for aesthetics. Does look better yes, but not practical. Its so bad I am even thinking of dropping to 17 inch rims but not sure with the Performance Pack if 17's will fit over the brakes? If I were to go to 17's and recommendation on tire size so my speedo won't be that far off? Thanks. 👍
My voswagen wheels came equilibrated with wights from dealer positioned like that 5 years ago (not weigght above weight)..... but they were well bslsnced these days no one knows how the heck to balance them properly last time they balanced them(autobox shope) they started doing a weird noise at 30kmh... 😅
It's not right
@@dragospahontu it feels right all speds except for 30kmh... checked in some tire shope they say its ok but tire got deformes or something on day 1... 2 years later still the same noise... I will get a Bible balanced or something maybe their PC needs recalibration or something for this type of rim and all that noonsense.
Wait, what's wrong with the red tops? Is there a difference in what you're referencing between like APR Red Tops vs something like audi r8 coil packs? I ran the audi r8 red tops when I owned a mk6r
Yes the red ones I’m referring to are random aftermarket coils. They very commonly create misfires down the road.
