Some covers serve a purpose. They channel air over the top of the engine to the rear against the firewall and it disipates heat.
@@kingcraven8056 True however The cover on this engine was engineered with foam and was pretty standard looking. its primary purpose was sound dampaning.
Hey scotty,I have a vw golf tdi 2013,I would for you to see it.i have done lots of modification. How can I get your address or in touch with you,so you can do a review?le me know. Am in east coast.
I wonder how they dealt with torgue steer
@@danielventura8073That was one of the design focuses of this gen. They mostly elimenated torque steer and under steer.
You’re the man Scotty. Bought my 2020 Camry brand new based on your reviews. I drive highway only Dayton-Detroit weekly. Cruise control right lane. 49.8 mpg today. Love the car!
They're nice looking cars too. Congrats.
Sounds like you bought the Hybrid, right?
@@paulhoskins7852 No…2.5. Run it at speed limit
That’s possible. That NA 4-cyl has 8 speeds and 201 HP. We’ve gotten 40 in mixed driving. I don’t doubt for a second 49 is possible on a highway if you are being gentle. My parents have had several Avalons with 300+ HP V6 and get 32-34 hwy and they are quite fast.
How much you pay when it was all said and done?
My favourite from Scotty was when he tested new f150 saying
“Enough power to get you in and out of trouble “
This is the "real" review that people really need, "transparency", not some vlogger with a ton of money who speaks like everybody has an endless pocket like them and like a salesman taming you like a dumb sheep... This guy is not just explaining the excellent side, bells, and whistles but the downside as well... Love Live Scotty! This Corrupted, Manipulable, and Materialistic World needs YOU!
👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Scotty likes a turbo never thought I’d see the day.
Scotty - love your videos. Nice to hear this one. Have a TDI Jetta with the aftermarket tune. Fun to drive. 44 mpg. Yes diesel. Very few problems getting to 170k. Left front wheel bearing. And my mechanic advised replacing the flywheel if I plan to drive it another ten years. I do. Fun to drive, great mileage, and the Audi’s hate it when they want me to pull over for going 85. I move right and floor it. 100 fast with the turbo. I back off and let them pass me. But I like to look at the expression on their face.
Hey man, what year TDI do you have? I know the mk4’s are solid with the 1.9, but I’ve been looking at Jetta Sportwagens and I’m not totally sold on the 2.0’s yet. What maintenance have you had to do so far?
@@sebafer2719 what he said!!
2012
Is it fun to drive?
@@thatguyoverthere8355 Dude, he literally said, "fun to drive"...
I’ve got a 2015 Golf with 120k miles built on the same platform and have had 0 issues. Averaged about 24,000/year the past 3 years. The MQB cars are top tier, they really worked out the kinks before releasing them, there’s a testing video on RUclips. These cars also have a system in them that run coolant through the engine after you turn it off to cool the turbo down.
I've wondered if cooling a red hot turbo after shutdown is addressed.
Sure is a lot different than the 85 & 87 GTI's I had. 100 HP and 128 HP. Loved driving them on the Autobahns and the back roads. Only problem is my Mechanic and I had joint custody of the cars.
yeah but that's progress for you🤣🤣🤣
I’d trade a few tenths and a few MPGs for a manual any and every day of the week.
Don't ever leave us, Scotty---it would be a very lonely World without
you.
These computer controlled automatics take all the skill out of driving a vehicle. Plus they are really susceptible to breakdown and very expensive to fix.
The DSGs that go into these are pretty solid as long as you keep it stock and change the oil every 40k. They are def not as fun as a real manual but it's the next best thing. Have 46K on my 2018 GTI and I haven't had a singe issue with it, and that's when they were made in Mexico. It's a pretty great daily driver that's practical and quick. Would take one of these over a crossover any day.
@@captinbeyond I never thought I’d own another automatic until buying a 2018 F150 ecoboost. Incredibly fast, responsive, and seamless shifting. While getting great gas mileage.
The ten speed combines so much performance and convenience it levels the playing field IMO. Of course it’s a lot cheaper to replace a clutch than tranny. Anything with 4-6 gears better be a manual.
@@WhiteTree97 Good to know, but I stay away from European cars because of the expense in repairs when needed. I still drive my old 1991 Ford F250 7.3IDI diesel. 1.34 million KMS and still going strong. It's been hard used in the bush, so the body could do with some repairs. Otherwise aside from general consumables it A O.K.
Scotty is always like a kid in a candy store when he gets in a fun car!
same, doesn't matter how slow or fast!
Scotty, with the way things are so crappy in the world overall......you are a gem of information on how to take care of an automobile....and as plus, you bring a smile to my face.....when you stomped on the gas pedal and turned the steering wheel to demonstrate the G-force meter display and you giggled like a kid with a new dirtbike/toy.
Legitimately Scotty is the cool mechanic uncle of RUclips 😂💪
Scotty's lost his mind he's driving a gti🤣
I have a 2012 Volkswagen Passat and it has not given me one problem so far. It already has 170,000 miles and it is also pretty good on gas. I would recommend it to anyone
My dad's 2005 Passat TDI is still going 💪!
My 2013 2.5 passat is at 153000 miles and I'm still waiting for my first check engine light.
I’ve had several APR tuned VWs. Awesome company.
Scotty: Love your videos, As a 70-year-old “DIY” kind of guy and love things that last. I have a 2013 Toyota Tundra and my wife has a 2005 Honda Civic, each vehicle has 50k miles on them. When I bought the Tundra started using the local Toyota dealership and over time (5 years), started seeing, (the Toyota service department) was shorting me one quart of oil on every oil change and the color of the oil was darker than the Toyota W0-20 pure synthetic. Sounds like cheap bulk oil to me. I told the manager and he said he would make a note of it. Ended up buying extra quarts of Toyota oil and topped off after each oil change, switched dealership and on the first oil change was one quart low…
Maybe if you pulled the dipstick before driving off after the oil change.
My 13 passat 2.5 was made in Tennessee. It's been a great car so far up to 153000 miles.
I love watching your videos. Checking in from Tucson Arizona.
Ey! Checking in from Phoenix!
I'll be driving the truck from Tempe to Tucson tomorrow.
I have a 2013 mk6 that just had its 100,000 mile birthday. Despite it being in the shop 3 separate times this year (radiator fan, spark plugs/ coil packs, intake manifold replacement), I still really really love that car.
if your more of an enthusiest you may want to consider the APR coil packs over OEM.
I have 180K on my GTI. I guess it’s going to blow up soon.
What Mk?
@@firejockey42 2016 Mk7
@@eaglestryker1338 yes of course.
@@itzed you should be fine. one thing I would recommened is picking up a ODBEleven Diagnotic tool for you car. At least that way you can check up on any engine codes that may appear in the future befroe taking it in. Also getting a basic torx set never hurt anyone. Just keep up with the maintence every 5-7k miles. We have a lot of peopel that have mk7's that never really have any issues, other than maintence and sometimes coil packs. But those are expected to eventually need to be replaced. The only thing that engine had issues with on some years was the water pump leaking. I belive that was resolved on the year before that but every once in a while you may want to take a look at it.
Have an 18 MK7.5 with 46k miles it's been solid too. Good to see it going strong after 180k miles still. Have you done carbon cleaning?
Currently daily driving a MK8 GTI 6 speed. Love it everyday. Plan on doing 5k oil changes.
The 2.5 5 cylinder was probably VWs best engine
Good to know, I have that on my jetta.
Hey Scotty, I have a 2006 Golf TDI with 250km. The turbo went out so I'm going to take it to the Auto hobby shop on Ramstein and change the turbo myself. Much cheaper than scrapping and buying something else. Like you say "better the devil you know".
The only time I’ve found manual mode helpful is in trucks while towing. Auto mode always shift to late going up a hill and doesn’t shift up going down hill.
I have a 2020 gti I got it new and now I only have 25k miles on it I love it. I want a mustang now but I’ll keep the gti as my town car
Scotty can you please start reviewing performance vehicles. I would effing love it and I’m sure RUclips would as well
This GTI should be more fun than Celica lol
No way I'd buy a VeeDubb in this day and age .. not even if they were made in Asgard!
i agree with you man specialy this gasoline engine very unreliable engine if it was a Diesel yes i have got a Skoda Octavia with 2.0 TDI engine i sell it and now i have a Nissan Patrol with straight 6cylinder 4.2 mecanical injection 4X4 mecanicale shiftin is a Diesel Engine with 5speed Manuel transmission no main compteur non turbo juste Natural aspyrated bo catalyc converter everething is simple and mecanical non electronic and it a big Suv truck very solid vehicle scotty is right best car in the world from japan
@@anwarkhelil9800 Say what? The generation engine in this GTi is EA888 GEN 4 ...extremely reliable and powerful and smooth. Many GTi and R with ore than 140 k miles still running strong. Most of them are tuned. In stock form It makes 242 wheel horse power. The tune is coming and with just software test cars are making over 300 WHP.
@@anwarkhelil9800 Your Octavia with 2.0 TDi is a dogshit economy car with economy boring engine. Has nothing in common with EA888 GEN4 only that it is a 2.0L and has a turbo.
I really love the Golf but I most definitely need more than 100k miles out of a car. If it was a diesel it would get triple that or more. I have bought 2 used Volvos with well over 100k when I bought them and they're both well over 200k now. I stick with what I know but if the diesel VW were more common here I would definitely look for one.
I own a 2011 VW golf has 132,000 miles only thing I've had to replace so far has been the vacuum pump I love the way it drives
My 2009/2010 has the same engine an built in Germany 160,000 only regular maintenance changed pcv , and main seal my falt 😊 still get 30 mpg
Best part. The MK8 is exclusively built in Germany and not Mexico
Yes this is francis!
Robots are the same regardless if the robot’s name is Juan or Johann. It doesn’t matter where the car is built.
@@vr6gls Yes the human workers which are a part of the assembly process as well as maintenance for the robots are underpaid in Mexico. So the end product ends up worse built
@@AE86FTS LOL!! I worked for VW and have seen the Puebla plant in Mexico. I am telling you there is no big difference between the two plants. You must have never heard of a thing called quality control and standardization.
I own two Mexican built VW’s and one German built Audi. Funny enough, the German built Audi has given me the most issues.
Scotty Time to come Clean, Admit it, I love this GTI
I love you, man! You're the grandpa I always wanted but never had.
@SpittinFactsDiknDrags with all due respect, you ain't no Scotty!
I don’t know, but the engine cover is engineered to channel airflow over the surface of the engine to help in cooling and keep dust and debris out of spark plugs and other electric wiring. Better cover sits an inch or two from the engine, on rubber grommets, so when the fans are blowing, the air circulated around the engine.
Its not about beating the machine scotty, its about engagement learing the car and knowing how to actually drive a fkn car. Idc what anyone says you have alot better control of the car in an actual manual car.
Yeah but manuals are slowly dying off unfortunately everything is basically automatic and that's what everyone prefers now
Why you want to beat the machine 1st of all?! Why everything have to be about competition! Why people don't just enjoy shifting by themselves and feel more in control?
You would have to thrash that car to within an inch of it's life every day and do no maintenance on it at all for it to break before 100k miles. Even the 20yr old ones did 200 or even 300k miles if looked after.
Wow, made in Germany. Would definitely own one of these! Neat car.
That means nothing these days. WV are plastic trash.
Love how you talk with your hands. You should have been a band conductor.
Sorta right about the eco mode. With Honda anyhow, the eco mode also changes the target temp of the evaporator. Which in theory, the compressor working at super low duty should help with highway MPGs.
What happened with the original upload of this video? When I clicked the thumbnail there was a message that it had been removed.
Scotty praising a VW product, I never thought I'd see that...
Me too. And he’s burning rubber and winding it to almost 7k with the owner in the car! Scotty’s too much!
@@seanmcfadden6600 To be fair. When we were disabling ECS I asked him if he wanted to go solo. That is all him and not me in the car when he was driving.
@@firejockey42 Ok
Scotty liked the air-cooled real VWs, as do I. Give me a '67 or older with a 1776, doghouse cooler, front discs, and 12 volts. No electronics this side of the radio.
I got a tuned with FBO 2019 civic si. Looking to have scotty review it in person. Good feeling he might like it.
Hey Scotty. Love your videos. All the way from South Africa 🇿🇦
What is your opinion on the 2022 Jeep Cherokee and the 2022 Jeep Cherokee L which has 3 rows. I am thinking of buying one. I am also considering buying a 2022 Toyota Highlander.
Und ja!!!! Back to a W letter VIN code?!? I'm in, again!
As Scotty said, the car with automatic transmission and GDI turbo, can be a fun toy, for weekend drive. Not for a daily drive.
I have a 2016 Golf which got the air pipe to the engine loose and I noticed after 6 months of driving. It was driving with a weird sound and poor acceleration. I am afraid that the turbo and injectors got all dirty as it was sucking air without the filter. Should I worry about it?
1. What can be damage in the engine if the air goes directly from the outside without passing by the air filter?
2. How do I clean the turbo? I will like to do it as a precaution.
I'm interested in what you think of the manula. Yes, I've read that teh automatic pairs nicely with this car and nobody can argue against the idea that the computer can shift faster than a human, but my hunch is the manual is still more fun to drive. Would a manual last longer?
I went withe the R, but the GTI manual is great for daily driving. The gears are kinda long but you get great MPG and its relaxing to drive especially on long hwy trips. I got a 2015 GTI which is very similar in charecter.
I had a 2011 GTI with 240k miles that Scotty always shat on lol.. glad this one has Scotty’s blessing!
MK6 and MK8 made in Germany 👀
@@kevs2good133 didn’t know the MK6 was made in Germany, that explains a lot
@@bkdrcn6962 higher quality than Mexico.
@@kevs2good133 Robots work the same in Germany as they do in Mexico. The mk7 is one of the most reliable GTI generations that were assembled in Mexico.
The only thing Sport Mode does is -- it Holds each gear a little longer thus it allows more Torque from engine...
Maybe on this car not sure. On mine it changes the wheel, throttle and brake sensitivity as well as changing the shifting strategy.
Yes it does hold it longer but changes the steering dynamic.
Looks more like a Scirocco from the front. Not sure if I prefer the older styling of the Golf.
At first I wasn't sure of it myself but it does look better in person. If your interested you may want to go look at one for a few minutes in person. I dont know what it is but videos and picutres don't do it justice. Several of my buddies have also said the same thing until they saw one in person.
Lots of speed? That was like an 8 second 0-60 time lol.
Wait... 3:12 Scotty told us in previous videos that BMW's were crap, used a bunch of cheap plastic parts, etc.
Funny how 100,000 miles used to be the end of the world for a car. Then some manufacturers started getting 300-400,000 miles out of their cars. Meanwhile, there are still a lot of car makers who seem to be aiming for 100,000 miles as the target life of their vehicles.
Scotty right keep the cover off it look good and its practical for hot climates.Thumb up to you Scotty. 👍
Please do a review of the 2022 hyundai veloster N DCT I just got one and I wanna know your opinion Scotty!
Who cares if "the machine" shifts faster, the manual transmission is way more gratifying. Is that one of those "machines" that Mike Lindell is suing to eliminate.
So... the moral of the video is, It's not like Scotty hate Volkswagen. So my guess his experiences on Volkswagens, is because the Volkswagens he repaired or reviewed are mostly made in either Mexico, or in the US which have a bad build quality. So, as long as the Volkswagen's made in Germany, Scotty's okay with it !
Another great video Scotty and informative as always. I love the laughing horse inserts (and especially the kitten too) lol.
I ❤️ VW ! Learned to drive on a 5 speed GTI ! Great fun !
neat it has a digital oil temp and coolant temp, not sure what the top symbol is but at 181F it's most likely not the turbo.
Transmission temp
181 sounds like coolant
@@GuerreroDelInfo The bottom number was around the same temp.
There are 3 sensors, possible transmission temp
the beauty cover is covering the turbo? lol
I think drive mode might matter. If I cruise on the highway, foot in the same throttle position, press sport, I’ll gain a few miles per hour. Pretty sure the fuel map is different. Then again it’s a Hyundai with 58,000 miles. Maybe the electronics are starting to go. 🤷🏽♂️
Scotty, what do you think about the gmc savanna?
We bought a uhaul conversion (box was converted into just a big truck bed).
Seems like a great deal.
Scotty you’re wrong about the different modes. If you’re in sport mode on the freeway the transmission gearing changes dramatically on most CVT cars. So you’re going 80 Miles per hour on the freeway in sport mode and the car is at 3200 RPM put it in eco-mode and it’s down in the lower 2000s.
Hi scotty! This is francis!
GTI, gotta love em 😏
Scotty, I know this is going to sound crazy but you need to review a Lamborghini 🤣 please or any comparable exotic car. The Kilmer Kommunity would go crazy! 💯
Scotty, what are your thoughts on Toyota's bZ4X recalls?
Yeah yeah yeah He can’t beat the machine but what is more fun you shifting your own gears or being bored leaving your car shift for you??
Save the manuals!
I plan to one day visit the famous Scotty drag strip
The only problem with the extra sensors is they could probably tell on you if you push it too hard and wreck.
Since 2012 in the USA all new cars snitch on you.
It's like Scotty's doing a Max Headroom impression
It does come from the factory with around 300hp as the GTI Clubsport or it’s sister car Cupra Leon. I can’t wait to try the Cupra 300 - I’ve truly enjoyed GTI especially on twisty roads and overtaking on the Autobahn. Are Cupras on sale in the US now?
Unfortunatly no, Cupras are not in the north american market yet.
@@firejockey42 sadly missing out. They’re such a sweet spot. More rear legroom, similar trunk, more exciting interior design, plus more power & standard kit for less money.
Yesterday scotty recomended korean made hyundai, today he praised german made volkswagen , i'm going to buy vw beetle made in germany
The second worst car we ever had was a vw gti. 3 water pumps 2 fuel pumps and they lost the keys on one occasion and it took 3 more weeks and a factory rep to program the keys. We got rid of it with 35k miles
Out of curiousity do you recall what MK it was?
@@firejockey42 2014 vw gti purchased at Gossett Memphis
@@hphillips7425 Yeah the mk 6 did have issues. I know the fuel pumps were recalled as well as the water pumps were leaking. I believe around 2017 they got those issues mostly resolved out of the factory. Recently there was a settlement on the water pump issue and they were refunding some of the costs for poeple who had to pay for it. I am not entirely sure if that year was part of the settlement. If you still have the reciepts from those repairs and do a little googling you may be able to get some money back.
anything brand new should run like a dream. u need 10 year old cars and such.
I don't care that the automatic transmission is "quicker". Shifting is just more fun. SAVE THE MANUALS.
Not gonna lie Scotty a real mechanic, if he wanted to he could’ve made billions from selling his own products
Modern-day transmissions are actually more efficient than a manual in 99% of cases. I mean we still need manual transmissions but the old idea that manuals get better gas mileage is no longer true in modern cars (cars made in the last 20 years or so when electronic shifting became normal). In older designs where you had things like overdrive gears and more slippage, sure then manuals were more efficient but these days a computer can calculate and shift at the perfect time faster than a human can.
I mean the transmission in this car is more or less 2 manual transmissions smashed together. It gets the same efficiency of the manual trans with the added efficiency of the computer shifting at the correct times to keep the MPG up.
Damn. That’s is a seriously good looking car. Looks very good quality nothing about it looks cheap
Yeah, Even though a lot of the interior is plastic its done in a way that it doenst look cheap or creek. The ambient lighting (if you care about that) is also customizable so you can change the color scheme. It comes default with wireless charging, heated seats, and steering wheel as well. It actually has more options built into it over a modern BMW without the BMW price tag.
I have a 03 Cadillac 5 speed manual transmission. I am the machine!!!
Always love the 'Ring That Bell' 😁
Scotty, did VW design this engine with a catch can?
Just wondering how they prevented the carbon buildup on the back of the intake valves?
There is additional manifold injection. So the intake valves are washed clean by the gas.
Scotty what if I have a 2017 GTI with 75000 miles but most of those miles are highway miles. I also change my oil regularly with pennzoil full synthetic. Should it last a long time?
I am a part of a VW car club here in TN and we have alot of peopel with MK 7 GTI's that use them as daily's other than earlier years have water pump issues and a recalled fuel pump module they hae been pretty good. My 2015 was a solid car. Only reason why I traded it in was because that year had an older head unit that didnt have the features of the Mk 7.5 and It required Premium fuel. The 2022 is rated for 87 so much cheaper at the pump. Plus with the used car market going up in price I got a good trade in deal. as long as you keep up wiht the maintence and don't beat it to harshly it should last you a while based on the experiences of the rest of the guys that have mk7's that I know.
Nice looking dashboard
Sad that it does not matter the brand of the car, if it says Made in Mexico, run as fast as you can!
Nice fancy car.. it can be painted in gold, not matters, I don't trust in this brand anyway (except for the old carburated ones made in Brazil)..
It's funny how you say he'd probably get rid of it by the time it hits 40k miles (60 000 km's)
Back in the day ('70-80's) you wouldn't dare buy a vehicle with anything above 60 000 miles on it nor would you keep a vehicle with that amount of miles/km's on it.... Nowadays, that's considered as a new car.. barely broken 💔 into!!
8:30 - neither rain, sleet, snow, dark of night or *STOP SIGNS* will stop the United States Postal Service.😲😲😲
Good looking car sir✌️
Hey Scotty, i am looking for a toyota yaris 1.0 from 2015. Is this any good car and do you got any tips for buying these cars? Is there something to pay attention to buying these cars?
My sister has a 2011 Yaris and does like little to no maintenance on it. She’s had it from 70k miles to 200k!
@@dadyking1210 okay, that sounds good! i am now looking for a yaris under 80k miles for my mom. She first got a Citroen DS3 from 2013 with 60.000 miles on it and it was a disaster! The engine blow up so i now want my mom to have a solid japanese car where she can drive more then 200k with it with hopefully no problems!
Valentijin. From experience of owning a Yaris, a 2015 I can tell you it is a really great and reliable car. I bought mine with 55k on it and sold it with 155k. Never really had any issues other than the heater would not come on time to time but it was just a bad switch.
Other than that, it ran solid, got great gas mileage and rode pretty nice.
If you get the manual trans it can actually be a lot of fun to drive.
Hope that helps and if you have any questions let me know.
@@vigilantemotors thank you, i will take that advice. We will soon going to testdrive a 1.0 liter version.
I'm confused the other day he was giving props to a Kia/Hyundai car now a VW?? His new advice should just be to buy any car from it's original source especially not Mexico or the USA.
Quality control in Deutschland? Ever come across BMWs, Mercedes, and Audi? Scotty himself has railed against those!
Made in North America mostly, that’s why. Europe is the only place where it’s likely all models come from Germany
I use to put lug nuts in people's hub caps.......
My German GTI got 450000km…
Personally, I would not turn off traction control
How many miles can I go with a full synthetic oil change before I need to change the oil again
For VW its 10k or 1 year on the book but most car guys will say 5-7k depending on your driving habits.
We only use 100% synthetic oil ; full synthetic oil isn't !
