@@WolfsburgSlim Golf R AWD doesn't bolt right up to the Jetta, that was only for MkV. For this one to work they would need a bunch of parts from Audi TT.
@@ThousandBlade For a full AWD swap, the manual MK6R 2012-2013 pretty much bolts over to the mk6 Gen3 jetta (if you keep the Jetta's engine).

Other tires 4/32nds of tread remaining. Inside, clean as iff just off the lot. Outside, even without the fender damage, dirty AF.
with that type of owner, I'd be curious if he's even done an oil change or two. VERY sad!! It's the "throw-away culture" just like a smartphone mentality.
As a GLI owner of that same model that is NOT a 2014 GLI that is the 2016-18 yr model mk6.5 Jetta GLI I have the same model in tornado Red an absolutely beautiful car, fun to drive looks super clean and for a young driver it’s IMO one of the best cars you can get as a first car it comes fully loaded and has a baby turbo to get tho good highways speeds, plus with not to many mods it can be a better daily, depending on one’s tastes you can add a lot or a little to this car to make it your own one reason I will forever keep my GLI no matter what new cars come out as this is becoming a more rarer model to see as the years progress.
when he said the thing about buying cheap parts he is 100% right i bought an amazon oil pan for my 2013 gti and it leaked out of the drain plug welds horrendously
Tell me about it. Both my cars need parts right now and I would love to buy something cheaper than OEM, but it's just too much of a gamble. I spoke with my shop that does more complex, vital repairs I prefer not to touch and asked them "got any suggestions for aftermarket ?", they said no, unless it's regular maintenance item like filter, than OE supplier will do. I like cars and motorbikes so I can workaround this, but it's beyond annoying to spend so much effort on mondane stuff instead of driving or even cleaning my rides.
I love when you buy these older Volkswagens. It’s super interesting seeing you trying to repair them and give them a second chance. I’m sure a lot of us would love to see more of these kinds of videos in future 💯
whoever previously owned it had enough money for some nice Rotiform wheels but after that had absolutely zero money left for ANY Maintenance apparently
I love watching these videos because the whole time it’s like a mystery- what is wrong with the car ? And then they get to the end and it’s always a timing chain issue🤣
People who own GLI's are always absolutely disgusting people. You shouldn't've given him what he was asking. He lied about half of it and you told him that it's okay if he does it when selling his next clapped out Altima. You are okay with taking those hits, but Grandma Gertrude would not be able to deal with what he lied about.
This video saved me about $2,000 I had an oil leak on 2012 CC and took it to a AAA shop and they quoted me 2 grand to fix it. Watched this video because I was considering trading the CC in just buying a Jetta and lo and behold same leak same spot. Took the CC to a independent german only shop with all 5 star ratings and they confirmed. $79 fix
I would love a video on the easiest way to rebuild this motor after jumping time. There are dozens of cheap cars with this exact issue kicking around here.
I miss my MK6 2017 GLI 6speed. Lost her to a total loss accident after some kid rear ended. IMO they look superior to the MK7 but I know the engine is not as good.
Any car that can be abused for that long and potentially still run after some love will be impressive. If only my MK7 didn’t rip it self apart from a defective cam at 135K miles…
@@Krauser1226 🤔 I’m not sure. My car suddenly started snapping belts so I thought it was a faulty AC compressor. Oh boy was I wrong. I bought the car after it was a bit abused from the previous owner at 90K miles. I think it was on its way out based on the shiny bits I started to see in the oil filter
@@cardiacdrummer5443 gotcha, very interesting. I've owned mine since new and have been super up on maintenance and while I drive it like it was meant to be driven, I wouldn't say it's ever been abused. Mines been good to all its belts and other bits so maybe I've got less to worry about. It's sometimes tough not being the first owner and not really knowing all the details of how someone may have (or may not have) taken care of their car.
I've always wondered who is buying these horrifically misrepresented cars. If I were in that position, I'd light the seller up on the spot and not buy it. Only a few minutes into the video so sorry if it's already been answered -- how exactly did the in person sale process go when all these things came up? The not-title, the mileage, the extensive damage?
That's how my intake looked after I bought it from a volkswagon dealership. When it was time to service I was amazed. Let it soak in the k&n cleaner and washed it and it looked brand new!
I wish you would have bought my gli. 289k miles. Did the timing chain. Replaced the clutch disks. But my oil cooler went bad and I blew my coolant hose. Would have been great for your show. Have all service records.
Quick question does the front bumper of this car fit a golf mk6 gti. They should be the same platform right? My own gti had enough speedsbumps that i need a New dumper in front.
Reminds of when I drove fours hours to pick up a car and had specifically asked "Clean title in your name, in hand?" and was told "Yes". As Maury Povich was known to say "That was a lie". Another two hours at the title loan place and I had a title with lien release, but boy was I annoyed.
I am the proud owner of a 2019 VW GLI here in California (my 8th VW and my second GLI). Besides some weird creaks and rattles my GLI is the best car I have ever owned.
Almost always when previously nice vehicles are treated with this sort of chaos drugs are heavily involved. Buying sight unseen on any vehicle listing site is a bad idea, but good for a video. It's not even good to buy something at night. I sold a truck at night and I told the guy he should probably wait until the next day to come by and look at it. He refused. I'm sure he missed lots of rust.
I had no idea you had your own channel! I really want to see you build a fast car! I honestly want to see one of you german guys build a turbo 5cylinder jetta with the dual clutch transmission. Personlly i think that would be an amazing engine and transmission to swap into a toyota mr2. Mid engine, cool 5 cylinder and turbo noises, and dual clutch for full racecar.
I have a problem with my Golf Mk5 variant where the trunk light won't turn on. When I put ground to it, it turns on, but when I close the hatch, it doesn't turn off. I don't think it's the switch on the trunk lid because I get the notification on my dash that it's open and closed. Please help.
For those wondering it is the CPPA gen 3 EA888. The reason it looks different is because the turbo is a mgt1752s not the same as the gti. Evidence: I own a 2017 GLI with the same exact engine
At least it wasn't a 13' MY GLI like mines where VW designed them to grenade the engines thanks to the faulting timing chain tensioner. Mofos charged me $1.4k just to get the car back on the road even though it should have been replaced under warranty. EDIT: Saw the ending. This has had the EXACT same issue as my 2013 GLI. The tensioners are faulty (I don't care if VW said they fixed them for 2014MY, they are liars) and should have been covered under warranty/ under a class action lawsuit. Not sure if VW covered 2014 MY under the class action law suit they settled, but yeah, these are fixable. The problem is, the valves and parts that have been damage are NOT sold separately and you must heavily disassemble the engine header (at least that's what the VW tech at the dealer that fixed mines told me). Huge pain in the ass job, and not worth the value of these cars. Fuck VW, but fuck that owner more. These are NOT difficult cars to take care of and he really abused this vehicle that deserved much better.
This hurts my heart in so many places💔. I own a jetta mk2 and always wanted one of these GLI's. it just makes me think "Why would you do that to such a beautiful machine!?" 😫

i thought my 2012 GLI was in bad shape, this is on another level lol
How many miles ? Mine 2012 is at 185K with oil leaking
That air filter was F U C K E D
VW Jetta... the Nissan Altima of Bavaria!
"If you can't stagger your wheels, at least stagger your tires." 😂
The air filter memorial got me tearing up 🥲
At least it wasn't a 13' MY GLI like mines where VW designed them to grenade the engines thanks to the faulting timing chain tensioner. Mofos charged me $1.4k just to get the car back on the road even though it should have been replaced under warranty.
EDIT: Saw the ending. This has had the EXACT same issue as my 2013 GLI. The tensioners are faulty (I don't care if VW said they fixed them for 2014MY, they are liars) and should have been covered under warranty/ under a class action lawsuit. Not sure if VW covered 2014 MY under the class action law suit they settled, but yeah, these are fixable. The problem is, the valves and parts that have been damage are NOT sold separately and you must heavily disassemble the engine header (at least that's what the VW tech at the dealer that fixed mines told me). Huge pain in the ass job, and not worth the value of these cars.
Fuck VW, but fuck that owner more. These are NOT difficult cars to take care of and he really abused this vehicle that deserved much better.
This hurts my heart in so many places💔. I own a jetta mk2 and always wanted one of these GLI's. it just makes me think "Why would you do that to such a beautiful machine!?" 😫
