I may have just made a financial mistake by purchasing a cheap £500 hot hatch, arguably the cheapest in the UK. Have I made the right decision?
I cannot wait to restore and modify it into a cool little pocket rocket!

Ignition on but not running.
Full lock left for 10 secs. Full lock right for 10 secs. Then move to centre. Turn off ignition. Turn ignition back on and you've recalibrated the steering angle.ig
Legend, I'll try that! Thanks
@BrettBarnesYT sorry I meant to say engine running. God knows why I said not to!!
Love the new direction of the channel the golf is a great new chapter 👌👌👌
Thank you so much!!!🙏
You know what mate with some time and a bit of money I reckon that’s gonna be a tidy motor. Looking forward to seeing it finished and back on the road
Yes! An upcoming cleaning video! Can’t wait
Great video mate can't wait to see what happens with the golf and those tartan seats are sick 😄🤘
A dam good ice blasting session is well in need . Looks like the golf has lived in a rally stage for the last part of its life .
Production quality is top notch, the cars pretty nice as well ;)
This video just popped up on my recommended feed and im glad it did! this is going to be a great project to follow! you got yourself a new sub!
For £500 is worth it all day. I recon 200k miles ballpark
Makes you wonder if the previous owner has the word cleaning in his vocabulary 🤣
Nice car to rescue cant wait to see it finished...subbed
Nice one Brett great video content. Looking forward to the following instalments on your project golf.
The golf 5 gti is a great car. 200hp stock and easy to tune.
Change the cam follower now while you do service .
These are bags of fun! Can’t go wrong with £500
Love it! Make it 100% and you will love it, mine went from being my car, to being my friend. Also just put in a new clutch, 1000$😢
Love this, love to see more vw being saved but deffo need some more content on the e36 miss seeing that
In fairness I wanted one of these back then, you could get it in 4 wheel drive with an under-tuned turbo block, a quick remap let nearly 50 horses out of the stable. And it didn't affect your insurance because you weren't tuning it up, it was still running within specification. I always liked the alloys too. I reckon these were a hoot to own, probably why they've all fallen to pieces now.
Golf GTi has always been front wheel drive!!!
I’m excited for this project
It’s going to be good! 😊
£500 for a gti with good spec bar the dsg box?!! Fucking bargain of the century mate wow. Excited for this one bretty boy come on
Thanks mate! I'm happy with it
Just recently got an Octavia VRS with the same engine and similar mileage. Mines got an intake on it, sounds really good for otherwise stock. Shame mine came with a whole host more problems 😅
Good to see a proper car on your channel…. 10:35
GT-Four Fam Fam 🤣💪
🤣🤣
can’t wait to see this transformation 🔥
The cleaning videos on this are gonna be insanely satisfying
I think so too haha
Looking forward to this series 🙌🏻
Cracking cars. I will definitely buy another in the future
Good luck with the project 😅🤙 hope it doesnt turn into a money pit.
Nice one mate, thats one cheap gti, excited to see how this turns out
That's a bargain for £500 quid, the spec and colour on that car is really nice
Well done mate! Epic car. Would give my left nut for a 2dr MK5. We never got them here in South Africa, and the imported ones go a stupid amounts! Looking forward to seeing the next episode!
Good purchase Brett!
I’d be looking into timing chain with that rattle on start up and oil pick up pipe and possibly balance shaft delete if ure going to be modding it and 5w40 over the recommended 5w30 💩
Why 5w40 specifically?
@ better viscosity for the ea113 burns a lot less and sounds a lot healthier
This probably has a coolant tank silica bag, if it does and with that mileage fish it out! Doesn't need to be replaced.
Not me sitting outside Brett unit and watching this very video 😂
This is your best video yet
Thank you!
@BrettBarnesYT I've watched since your white 1 series, your content keeps improving!
Great cheap car and it's going to be a very nice cheap repairable vehicle and it's going to be a very nice cheap runner round car
Definitely do the oil pickup.
Is that a common thing to go wrong?
Pretty sure they get clogged up if not serviced regularly.
@@BrettBarnesYTyes
Great cars my mrs has the mk5 gti golf and i have the mk5 R32
Fair play that’s in a mess, nice project though
That has to be 150k+ miler that one! Had 3 or 4 now myself!
Yeah not far off! haha
Hi Brett, new subscriber here, stumbled across your channel, content on the MK5 looks great so far. Looking forward to catching up on your videos
Looking forward to next episode
Coming soon!!
I tried ringing you mate and great video 🎉
I Knew it was going to be a gold GTI when i saw the thumbnail ahah
I made it a bit too obvious to be fair haha
did you put new bolts on engine mounts? I'm asking this because they say it's one time bolt and I have spent 90€ just in those genuine bolts.
Just discovered your channel mate..,. great video! Subscribed
Thanks mate!! 😁
How much loose change did you find?
That’s crazy for £500, decent buy.
I have the same code popping up on my vw caddy 08. I’m guessing it’s just the sensor has gone bad but I’m looking forward to the next video so I can find out
DTC-00562
Sensor for oil level / temperature(G266)
The main thing you forgot to tell your subscribers is that Carly is a yearly subscription!!!! That’s right…you will be charged every year!!!!
No I didn’t, it literally says it in the description and pinned comment. I think paying for a toll that is genuinely useful is a given
Bro got silenced😮
@@UDFmilo like you would be stood in front of me!!!
Behave Eddie Hall 😂@@holford98
Lool
My old car, I sold it in 2020, if you'd done a car vertical check you'd see it's cat c as well 🤣

Brett Barnes Track Car Incoming 👀
hinge and tinder installed
could tell its a mk5 as soon as it was on the trailer, if you need any parts give me a shout I have a full interior breaking and also building a 1 of 1 MK5 Pirelli edition
You were robbed.😂😂
Hi Brett love the golf ,full deep clean needed, OEM PLUS . Sort out the bodywork, full service, some nice bbs alloys and a decent stance. But no cage or bucket seats keep it as a road / Show car please 🙏
Great choice! F*** the haters
That is sick dude! Can I sponsor the build? ;)
I recon done around 180k miles
Close!
It's FREE Door
Congratulations Brett on a great car. £500 utter bargain. It’ll look amazing once you get truly stuck in.
Thanks mate!! Exciting times
160 thousand miles
Pretty close ;)
I'm a simple person, I see a mk5. I like video.
Cheers mate
Anything’s better than a BMW . Cannot wait to see it get done mate
Its screaming for a timing chain mate. Get it done before keep starting it up etc as if it slips its engine swap time.
She be alreeeet, drive on
sickkkk
Thanks! 🙏
Think you got mugged for £500, good luck 😂
You rekcon ;)
One careful surfer owner ?
230k miles guess
Engine kaput 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
B1tchin' Ride....
First to watch 😎
Legend!
130k miles
👀👀
What a weird way of doing things. Worrying about seat belts upgraded when there's other issues & rust needs sorting.
How? I literally did the clutch first lol. I'd rather not work on it with it stinking hence why I've stripped the interior to clean it. It would be silly to strip the interior, clean it, and then strip it all again to do the seat belts. Perfectly good order if you ask me
Jesus the interior is hairier than my back
🤣
I think this was a track car tbh
Maybe, Doesn't look like it though
If its a mk5 golf, I'm unsubscribing
Oh no. He’d better change his plans now
@james-3778 thank goodness
@@5tevenH no I get what you mean and I can’t say much as I own a mk6 but I guess it really depends on what he does to it for content and let’s be fair. Most people love the shitters over most things
@james-3778 i love to see cheap cars on any channel because that's relatable to the masses. We can't all afford ferrari/lamborghini vehicles. I'm just not a fan of the mk5 golf, it was a backwards step after the the mk4.
@@5tevenHfinally someone else who realises the truth
170000 give or take a little
Pretty close
Il buy it off you for £500 lol
You paid £500 to much for that bin .but you could always get £150 scrap
@@ianlee487 wait until episode 2 coming out in a few days 👀! It’s come out alright
@BrettBarnesYT I'll wait in anticipation
170k?
Why do car youtubers always put their hands on their heads for a thumbnail
Because our heads hurt from all the time, effort and money that goes into the videos
Join the other 9 million you tubers who have a mk5 golf gti project car 🤦🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂 so true 🥱
cool story buddy😅
23% of YT Channels feature Mk5 Golfs?Wow who knew?🤦🤣🤣
cool story, anyway..
Sell It To Me
Joy...another channel with a Golf........yawn
Don’t watch then, I’m sure I’ll be fine!
Do not recommend this channel…useless video content
I couldn't recommend yours either....
@@osagyefoghanaba you definitely listen to one direction and play with your mums breast implants 😅
A car without dsg is a result of
156k miles
