I’m happy to see the love. The GLI doesn’t get much attention compared to its hatch counterpart. I got a 13 as well apr stg 1 6mt. For anyone looking to purchase get the ones with the gen3 motor as to it makes power easier and cheaper than the gen 1.
I have a jetta as well that's lowered. Its easy to fix the rub, just shave like 1/2 a inch off the top middle of the finder liner. The reason it rubs on one side is because the subframe shifted slightly when you lowerd it!
Chassis bracing is a great mod is overlooked. I run an X brace in my '12 Sportwagon and it really let's the suspension work properly.Glad to see this mentioned.
If you find it boring buy a ricer WRX, and when it inevitably blows up you’ll understand why these GLI’s and GTI’s are so great. I know, I am one of those ricers lol
Neat build. If stock, I'm impressed that the OEM DSG can take that power increase. The reduction of 150+ lbs is really significant -- essentially the weight of another adult passenger.
This transmission was also used with the Golf Tdis, so they're made to handle fairly substantial amounts of torque. In the most recent Golf Rs, the DSGs will hold more power than the factory 6 speed.
@@Bmckimm torque is generally the limiting factor since it's responsible for the twisty stuff, not horsepower, just to be clear, but yes, they're generally quite stout. The RS3 7 speed will handle ridiculous amounts of power with a clutch pack upgrade and a reflash.
I'm not a fan of de-badging, but adding badges and stickers is worse. Great looking car overall, but the Turbo, GLI, and Face sticker on the rear quarter window just scream tacky. Love it otherwise.
I can agree, him going K04 without even doing DSG Tune but everything else boggled my mind! Im APR stage 2 bolt ons and just got my DSG Tune and idk how I was driving before without it, makes driving it so much easier and faster when you want to race without it redlining forever or giving full power out of a small turn lol
I went over a year stage 2 without the DSG flash. Got it finally, 100% worth it. Sure the car will work without it, and still drive great, but the DSG flash is just right for the power. Weather you use Drive, Sport, Manual with the Paddles, or a bit of it all you will love the slight difference it makes!!
DSG tune is next on my list. Only because I'm getting a little slip on the 100 octane file. 100% of my driving is in manual mode which up to this point has been fine, no slippage, no clunks, smooth as butter.
@@Forbidden.s3In a word, nuts. A lot more power than crappy 91. I've run MS109 with great results and no issues. But recently I ran Sunoco 260gt plus after installing a Fluidampr (which Zack forgot to list on my mods) and I ended up with clutch slip as the car is likely making over 380wtq. I shared a link somewhere above of a guy who dyno'd his k04 with 100 oct. Numbers were off the charts, over 375 whp & wtq.
CowBoys Buds screw the GTX, Borgwarner 7163 EFR. Spools as quick (maybe even slightly quicker) then a k04 due to high tech lightweight components and holds boost just as high as a GTX of similar dimensions making identical top end power. It’s not a torque curve with a 7163, it’s a flat plateau, which is a good thing....
Pretty good, main problems are things like timing chain tensioners on models older than 2012 with the 2.0t. only other thing I can think of is water pumps.
and carbon cleaning. Keep up with the carbon preventative maintenance as you would with any other Direct Injected turbo car and watch for the two below if it is older. Some of the newer Gen 3 motors (this one in the video is the Gen 1) have chain tensioner issues but a small amount of them depending on the year from 2013.5 mid year release up through 2014 or 15.
DJ MotoVlogs owned my 2016 GLI for about a year before I traded it in. Comfy, zippy, and reliable for the time I had it. Had an intake and catless dp with no issues. Only thing was the windshield wipers would randomly turn on when driving.
I had (and very very VERY much so miss) a 2013 GLi up to just over 92k miles. She gave me zero problems (picked it up at 40k from a VW dealer in 2014 traded it in 2016 for a mk7 GTi) in that entire time. I did my own carbon cleaning around 80k at home. Had it tuned within the 1st thousand miles of ownership all the way up through when I sold her still running perfectly. I miss that car a TON and may buy another one next year as my daily. My now wife still misses that car as well lol, everyone likes to give me grief for letting my beloved Sylvia go haha. Great car if you're looking for a wonderful daily to eat up the miles. Took many long trips, I miss that. Tuned with the DSG also tuned had EXCELLENT highway power characteristics. This time I'll buy a manual (that was actually my first non manual car, but I wanted to try out a dual clutch car and still has a mk3 manual for when I needed to shift it myself) and just upgrade the clutch.
2.0 2016 here. I was surprised of the fuel economy 400 km in 40 liters of propane and 400 more on the gasoline tank. Speed and acceleration are also OK easy for coding via VCDS and tuning. The German authority have calculated you need 120 HP for 1.5 tons. Mine is a little bit overpowered like that but that makes it also fun to drive.
VW tuning community always goes by crank HP. 350HP really means 270-280whp on a tiny K04 dying out at 5.5K rpms and being that its an APR kit he paid $2300 LOL. 28psi on a K04 is definitely taking it out of its efficiency range so the torque probably has a huge boost spike and dies off by 4k rpm.
Wow ... you're the second person to have completely missed what he clearly stated. He said 300hp at the wheels, not 350hp. And peak boost at 4100rpm, not holding. That's what happens when you prejudge and don't pay attention.
@@Heb132 2:53 seconds he explains "should" be 300 wheel but mentions 350 as well. Also, full boost at 4100rpms on a K04 is pathetic for how small it is. Again, 24psi would be max efficient boost on a tiny 46mm compressor wheel otherwise you are just throwing hot air in. If you think logically then you could figure this out yourself.
@@40rtyp He clearly specified "crank" towards the beginning. No one's claiming it's bigger or faster than what it is. It's a 2.0l 4 cyl. putting down 300whp/340wtq on shitty 91 oct., and 350+/380+ on 100 oct. It puts the power down and pulls all the way past 6k rpm. The reviewer even commented on the smooth power delivery. Your ignorance is the only thing that's pathetic here.
Agree to disagree but knowing the dimensions of the K04's 46mm inducer and on piss 91 you can't argue with facts. Look it up and learn about turbochargers. 28psi is hilarious(even if it's not holding, go figure) on a K04.
Zack, I appreciate your efforts but may I suggest something: If you have an owner who does not contribute to the conversation like in this video, dont force yourself to keep talking. 21 Minutes is a lot of time to cover the most important aspects of a car, especially if you are the only one talking. Dont overdo it, so it turns into rambling. You even lost track of what you were saying yourself because of it. Be concise - and if there is no extra input from the owner, so be it.

@@kylelangley8818 I have an E36 M3 with Fat Cat built H&R coilovers. They ride better than most everything I've driven.

White is such a plain color it can make these cars which are already pretty vanilla look even more bland. So that's why the decals. Looks good in person. I get the three pedals tho. But you can't beat the dsg shifts.
Heb132 The DSG farts are fun as hell no doubt, and there’s no question they’re lighting fast, but there’s nothing like the sound or feeling of hittin through gears in a real life stick. I’m just a simple man 😁lol.
It drives me nuts as well, back when I was in my highschool days and had public speaking classes, the "like" "like" "like" always was noticeable by bad speakers or nevervous people.
This dude brought his car on a show to not say really anything about it. The driver got caught rambling during the whole drive because the owner rarely reciprocated... Cool car tho.
My mk6 GLI was a lemon I had every problem under the sun. I got a 2018 GTI.... never had a car creak like a golf cart... guess that's why it's called a golf
Aaron i just traded my 2017 GTI. that car was such a let down. i got tired of it so fast. cheap interior, creaks and rattles, cramped, slow AF....no thanks. everyone raves about the MK7, but honestly it was my least favorite. My mk5 and mk6 were so much better.
Yes, pre-facelift. VW introduced an engine variant mid-2013 which produced 10 more HP from the factory. But, a k04 upgrade, which was probably the best upgrade you could get for the mk6 platform power-to-cost, could no longer fit with the variant engine.
Nope. The oem injectors can get you there. Here's a dyno with well over 350w. forums.vwvortex.com/showthread.php?7004990-APR-K04-V3-1-Dyno-Results-93-amp-100#/topics/7004990
Son of Tamriel honesty at least the civic has its own style the Jetta really is probably the most plain an generic looking car in its class. I love BMW and Mercedes but I have a hard time getting over vw's blocky and simple styling (which is also very much a thing in audi's)

Im not with the big “APR” sticker, and that turbo badge is terrible. When we went in side I was done tho....we don’t automatics on this side baby #3pedalsandaHgate🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️.
White is such a plain color it can make these cars which are already pretty vanilla look even more bland. So that's why the decals. Looks good in person. I get the three pedals tho. But you can't beat the dsg shifts.
Heb132 The DSG farts are fun as hell no doubt, and there’s no question they’re lighting fast, but there’s nothing like the sound or feeling of hittin through gears in a real life stick. I’m just a simple man 😁lol.
I thought he crashed the car when the camera fell🤣
Sweet audi
Nice video, I needed a nap 😂
Do you know a derma
Imagine driving an automatic gli
Imaging hating on a DCT
I know it’s a tinger generation,, but I can’t stand “like” “like” “like”
It drives me nuts as well, back when I was in my highschool days and had public speaking classes, the "like" "like" "like" always was noticeable by bad speakers or nevervous people.
Wow I loveeee your car it's so nice!!!!
75 percent increase.
Looks like my car. Passat R-Line 17
I'd say this video was a SUCcess
Exhaust sounds pretty good. Otherwise boring car
2006 Jetta I had was fun while it lasted. One problem after another it turned into a money pit.
This dude brought his car on a show to not say really anything about it. The driver got caught rambling during the whole drive because the owner rarely reciprocated... Cool car tho.
My mk6 GLI was a lemon I had every problem under the sun. I got a 2018 GTI.... never had a car creak like a golf cart... guess that's why it's called a golf
Aaron i just traded my 2017 GTI. that car was such a let down. i got tired of it so fast. cheap interior, creaks and rattles, cramped, slow AF....no thanks. everyone raves about the MK7, but honestly it was my least favorite. My mk5 and mk6 were so much better.
Please Finish this video :))
my dads 06 gli was so slick. manual trans and good power and brakes
2013???
Yes, pre-facelift. VW introduced an engine variant mid-2013 which produced 10 more HP from the factory. But, a k04 upgrade, which was probably the best upgrade you could get for the mk6 platform power-to-cost, could no longer fit with the variant engine.
I’ve got the 1.8tsi with a APR chip
What happened to this channel???
Cheesecake
Less talking more driving...
Know what you are going to say... Rambling is annoying.
You're annoying.
350hp??? Sounds like wishful thinking with out injectors and fuel pump. E85 with cat delete and a dyno tune will get close to 350 @ the wheels
Nope. The oem injectors can get you there. Here's a dyno with well over 350w. forums.vwvortex.com/showthread.php?7004990-APR-K04-V3-1-Dyno-Results-93-amp-100#/topics/7004990
wrong. the stock fuel system is pretty good up to 350 wheel.. if not more.
The Jetta is such a boring car. It's like a civic but more bland looking.
*better* looking, yes, Civic looks like a 12 year old designed it
Son of Tamriel honesty at least the civic has its own style the Jetta really is probably the most plain an generic looking car in its class. I love BMW and Mercedes but I have a hard time getting over vw's blocky and simple styling (which is also very much a thing in audi's)
This is a good example of " podcast killed the RUclips channel"
Is this amateur hour? What kinda of car reviewer makes his own car sounds when pulling hard through a tunnel? This guy needs to talk less and drive more harder.
The handshake shtick is odd to me! Sue me. No one shakes hands in a car lol
Verifiably false.
Fuck apr tuning get a revo stage 1 for ur vw more hp
So boring
I swear this channel has gone downhill with the absence of Matt
DabEz ko I swear no one cares what you think. Let them do there thing or start your own channel and do it better.
Don Warner look at the views look at the comment section.
This channel really is dying since Mr Farah left.
nope
@@jeffeffinggluck Yes, just look at the statistics. Views have gone from hundreds of thousands to just a few thousand and are reviewing crappy cars like this.......
Huh? Personally I really prefer watching Zack review cars, I think he's better suited to this type of content than Matt.
Track Time Videos chillout renault guy
pretty sure farah didn't even wont to continue this segment. I am just thankful he let Zac continue it. Obviously it isn't a high priority segment anymore, but I enjoy it for what it is. If you don't like it, just fuck off Mr. Betterthaneveryoneelse
APR is trash
Just thought I'd check in. Unsubscribed, like I figured. I watched these vids for Matt's take on these cars.
