That’s because they are junk 😂 vw cheaps out on the build quality. Between the leaky plastic water pumps, timing chain tensioner failures, piston ring failures, pcv valve failures, start/stop buttons that go bad at 30k miles, and all the other cheap sensors they use. What do you expect their reputation to be when the reliability is worse than gm/ford products of the 90’s and early 2000’s.
Wow, why all the hate on VAG? I live in The Netherlands and it's the biggest group here driving VAG cars. I know a lot of people who own such a car (such as my dad). I must say, the quality of the cars are very good. Gear shifter falls in place very smooth, easy steering, almost no cheap plastics in the interior and overall very nicely finished cars
That was my thought too, if the sensor is getting cooked, whack some kind of barrier between it an the exahust. On my car I'd just use a cut-up bit of an old beer can, but the Evo is a bit too nice for that sort of half-assery.
You would think that an aftermarket company would have come up with an improved version to fix the problem,i think the rareness if the car might be the problem if it was an STI there might be a fix.
@@kamilb8232 it's not usually apex seals that go (that's down to bad tuning really, so shouldn't happen) it's water seals these days... ask me how I know? :P

@@TheGustavFTW This. When they said "these keep failing" I was like, placement. That thing is placed right where shake/knocks and wobbles are gonna kill it fast.
Whew, not *too* broken! Get it sorted out, and you’ll be enjoying the heck out of it! I’m an STi owner, and even I’m a bit jelly about daily driving an Evo9 with 360hp at the wheels!
Blinking check engine light normally means a misfiring engine. I don't know that much about cars but speaking from personal experience driving with the problem only created more problems.
Yupp in obd2 cars the blinking check engine is to let you know theres a severe misfire and you should stop driving your car as to not mess up the catalytic converter
Lol my Audi REALLY needs a new fuel filter, every now and then when Im giving it to the car, she'll get SEVERE misfires...(5 of 6 cyl misfire) but it will clean up shortly after (not looking into it as its rare, and Im saving for a CTSV and dont want to be tempted to fix this car) and both cats are alrwady dead so what do I care lol
@@ildesalinas3412 Yeah i have a Camry i got at about 230k miles which is now at about 255k miles and i had the same problem. At one point it just wouldn't accelerate, just sit and stutter a few feet maybe. That's when i became familiar with the infamous blinking engine light. The previous owner didn't take care of it at all. Multiple exhaust leaks, oil leaks, radiator leaks. Just top it off and keep it going. But the problem still occurs just on a cold start in cold weather.
@@armaggedon4christ yeah just drive it till it dies honestly. My dad had an 04 Audi A4 which is when we realized how true rumors about German cars. Once they're old they just eat up money non stop.
@@AbdulbarrAslam luckily mine has been very reliable just needing the usual fluids, even changed the diff fluid and did a timing belt for safe measure...why I think mine is lasting its the "luxury" V6 and not a VAG performance turbo 4,5 or 6. So ots meant to be quiet and not cause issues...only thing it does is sip oil...1 quart every 6 months (I dont put too many miles on it) sounds bad ass straight piped lol
So happy for these evo videos. I had an evo 9 and I absolutely freaking loved it. Nothing more raw and exciting at least that I’ve owned. I WILL have another one some day and these vids are getting me excited again.
Bro check the fuel pump lines hooked into the fuel pump. Make sure their tight.. had a TT Quattro that did the same thing. It runs fine until u really ask for fuel pressure. Hope this helps
True, I paused the video and diagnosed it before they found the codes. Lol. I was wrong, I’ve replaced many parts with new parts for no reason. But it’s still fun to work on ur own car and honestly just about everything should be replaced after 100k miles I’m the guy who takes his fuel rail and injectors out and cleans them just because it’s fun.
#DSMLife Boys My "2 door evo" is living its best jackstand baller life too. 99 Eclipse GST. It's on its second engine now, and its about be on its third as it has rod knock. Trying to find a donor car with AWD, or just an AWD swap already pulled.
@@xTerraH Pretty sure my ex-wife sabotaged the first one as It mysteriously developed engine knock within 5 miles of leaving our house when I left. And the oil smelled quite strange when I drained it. No building that engine once it was done, not that you need to when your turbo won't even flow enough for 400whp, which is nothing on a 4g. Second one has been beat to death. And the the oil pump gave out mysteriously at only 88k on the engine/pump. So rod knock 2.0. Turns out engines need oil.
I didn't get notified, even though the bell has been activated for a long time. I was scanning my sub feed and let out a little girl on a shopping spree scream. REEEEE!!
So a video to point out a duff cam sensor , which was said in the first, could of spent 5mins changing it out and then test drive to see how it performs
@@mightycarmods cant find in any of the evo 9 series videos including this one where you guys break the evo 9, seemed like it was already broken when you got it. anyway I'm a big fan, just glad it was just a sensor
@@viscount358 Nah no way man hahaha. I met them at a meet 6 years ago in Melbourne and they're both around 6' to 6'1 or 6'2 which is around 183cm to 188cm approx with Marty being a couple of cm taller. And this is also with shoes on so minus an inch or so would be their actual heights. But again, by no means are either of them considered short.
ahh in australia we dont carry car registration documents in the glove box. those stay at home. Our police can check those on the fly using their tech in their cars. So we can afford to leave cam sensors, service history, insurance and other important emergency parts in the glove box :D
Loving the EVO episodes! I hope to buy an EVO IX in the future, so some awesome info in here for those buying a pre-owned EVO. Looking forward to seeing where it goes, and maybe a little bit of input from your point of view of EVO vs WRX/STI...
A 400kw evo will be a nightmare to handle on that tight track. It would be far better to max the turbo out maybe stroke it to 2.4 and put more money in the suspension components.
I've waited so long to see my favourite car on this show! super handy info for when i finally get one haha Always nice to see tuning fork, keep up the good work lads!
Marty, could you please do some myth busting? Ceramic coat your new exhaust system all the way and take temp and horsepower for both systems? Love the content keep up the wicked work
I had this problem with my Nissan. I believe if your car is 10 years or older, and the engine bay has normal or above grim for that period, you should undo every plug under the bonnet and clean them with Electrical Cleaner, let it sit for a few seconds and blow them clean with Air, and then apply Dielectric Grease, to keep them clean & protected, this makes a big difference to how it will run.
Had a cam sensor go on my Subaru, and it was really weird like this too, well, was worse. It became undriveable and stalled in the middle of an intersection. New sensor in, and has worked wonderfully for years since.
That video title made me ultra sad, but glad that it's not what it said. Hahah McM you dudes always... And videos with Tuning Fork are soo interesting eitherway can't wait for more. ✌

Man, I love these type of videos with tuning fork. Its so interesting!
He's very good at what he does!
He's just a fricken walking encyclopedia of automobile info. Good friend to have
I recently took some courses on efi University and was pleasantly surprised to see Tuning Fork in just about every video. He's awesome.
He has stand-alone videos too, and he's interesting in those as well. He has one driving the Mini looking funny as hell doing it
Tuning fork is the man and I always love the episodes that he is in, always pick up so much information from him!
All fun and games till Moog turns up in a bayside blue R34 GTR 😉
Or... a modified Golf??
@@mightycarmods hell yeah
@@mightycarmods
Do it 😁
Not a serious contest until someone turns up in a Honda Civic Type R
@@mightycarmods Oh yeah build that R !
Massive fan of any ep with Tuning Fork
He seems like a really nice guy as well as being great at what he does
He's a wise and clever man.
Moog looks so small compared to him at 9:30 hahaha
Same as I was thinking, nice bloke and the man to go to 👍🏼
"You've got more rice than I do!" DAAAAMN Daveo!
😂😂 some nasty burn right there 😂😂
Put it out put it out some much fire 🔥
Apply fresh coolant to burned area
#DisrespectedEvo
Apply anti freeze to burned area 😂😂😂
When you put a new CAS in, also get a CAS bracket to stop any extra heat from the manifold getting to it. Went through 2 CAS’s in my previous evo 😂
*Moog: I haven't had any sensors fail in the Golf yet, interestingly.*

replace that cam sensor .. and make a little heat plate to cover it up!

going without a heat shield on the stock manifold is inexcusable.
oh, and the hot air intake pod, noooo
There are companies that do make this sort of part already
I have a feeling Moog’s VW is making more power than he is letting on, he’s just trolling Marty like a good mate should. Love MCM, keep it up!!
wouldnt be surprised if moog secretly has an apr stage 2+ tune on his vw
He mentioned rally car, gotta jump it now!
2:45
they've done a good job" famous last words
Nothing phases the fork. He can drive a veyron and tell you what's failing. What a guy. 💪
They make little metal heat shields for them sensors, replace the sensor and buy one of them shields
Lol well his car is notably missing the heat shield
@@Metalution Yeah, I've never heard of a failure...weird how the comments are nothing but kids that can't afford an Evo, talking shit.

@@chrisduncan8873 true.
I was expecting another visit from uncle rodney
That didn't take long for Marty to become a real EVO owner. Congrats!
Having an Evo VIII with something that just doesn't feel right, I'm highly invested in this series!
Tuning Fork proves his skills yet again.
Proves his skills? The dude can't drive for shit! The car was fine before he got his doufus hands on it! Double blip on the downshift with the clutch depressed, then shifting, squeezing his dork face during a roll on.. oh.. and blowing up a car. Skills? Please.
"40kw or something like that...yeah at all 3 wheels"....
My monitor now has OJ all over it!...lol
Moog should get apr stage 3 on his golf r.
Absolutely, it’d eat that Evo alive for relatively cheap, in comparison that is
Only problem is when you buy a stage kit you just have the same shit as everyone else who bought it, no fun in that.
Reliable, tested,proven performance is the way to go....GolfR all day.
That all just sounded boring tbh.
Get a custom turbo kit, APR is overrated
How stoked will be the people that are currently selling their Evos be lol!
i bet most of them will check their cam sensor now lol
@@aunreza Not unless you already moved it away from the manifold or got a billet cover for it.

I was thinking you blew up the motor or something.
The best thing about this video is the blue EK in the background
400kw golf time
