    100% sure that’s the issue with the gearbox, I had the same issue (although not as bad) on my mk4 r32, used a small file to clean out the corrosion in the tube, put it all back together and goes into all gears nicely now👌🏼

    Sounded a little like marbles in a can to me! Like to hear noise by the chain cover to be sure.
    Hopefully for you it’s just the gear selector though!! Hopefully for us R32 engine owners you have to do a chain replacement guide! 😂

    £5250 is my guess with it being in a barn and anything could have been wrong. May well be just the gear change issue that put them off getting it fixed and didn’t get around to getting it sorted due to perceived likely cost? Great video as always 👍

  • @dazsty4
    @dazsty4 11 месяцев назад +2

    My guess is 8k on the price. With that mileage I bet its had a few owners who have let it site rather than drive it which is a vw's achilles heal. My mk4 gti was the same. Keep up the good work Dean!

    £6100 check to see if the coil packs have been replaced under warranty - when I had my 2006 R32 around 6 years ago, they went and VW took it in - boom fixed the lot for nada. It was a recall apparently!

  • @andrewkidger7048
    @andrewkidger7048 11 месяцев назад

    My R32 come from an older gentleman and his son was selling it for him.
    I had to replace both rear callipers because they seize up at this age and mileage.
    I checked both fans as the smaller one can stop working and bigger fan over compensates.
    Mine has 78000 on clock and gear box is sweet but seems to feel knotchy in general
    When changing gear.
    When doing full service clean all coil packs.
    Looking forward to the next episode

And it doesn't take long for you too find out lol. Well done. Cheap fix. I Rechon Dean thats the problem because you cant drive it with the Gear selector broke. The Owner thought it was the Gearbox. At least that's what I'm Praying for. Nice buy Dean. 😅😅 🇨🇮🇨🇮 £7.500 I think. But i can't tell from Ireland. We do Euro's lol

  • @stevefinch5890
    @stevefinch5890 11 месяцев назад +8

    I’d be checking vcds for the chain values when it’s warm. Blocks 208 & 209 should be as close as possible to 0°, the spread should not exceed 3°
    intake adjustment range 52°/exhaust adjustment range 42°):
    • For both blocks 90 & 91 the set-point value at idle is 0°, no matter what the values in blocks 208 & 209, at a duty ratio of about 15.3%.
    The actual value should not be more than 0.5 ° (Valid for both OEM & aftermarket cams).
    If the values are way off from 0° the timing chain may be mistimed or skipped. Around 11.25° deviation corresponds to a skip of 1 tooth.

  • @SC0TTRS
    @SC0TTRS 11 месяцев назад +1

    I'd say £8499. Check the chains using VCDS even though it has low mileage. Strange how it was parked up for so long. When you introduced it at first, thought it was a non runner with chains snapped lol. Hate the thought of paying the high TAX band on the newer R32's . . .

  • @Franksey180
    @Franksey180 11 месяцев назад

    @SavingSalvage module 25 is the immobiliser which is built into the instrument cluster. That "module defective" fault code is quite common on VW group vehicles, can be caused by auto locksmiths trying to gain access to the immobiliser to code additional keys or when there is an "all keys lost" situation and they need to add a key but don't have an original key to authorise them into the immobiliser to add it. If the car still has original key(s) then that fault code could just be due to the original cluster being replaced and again a tech or locksmith had to force their way into the immobiliser which will leave that fault code afterwards. Finally that fault code can just be "one of those things" with age etc, it doesn't always lead to a disaster and won't throw any warnings on the cluster display normally.

    It's not the shaft that goes into the box it's the pivot and nylon sleeve they get squeezed by the alloy gearbox casing through corrosion i have done quite a few Mk1 Skoda Octavias and Mk5 Golfs, i just clean the casing out grease the nylon sleeve up insert that then grease the selector plate and install that, i don't think it's down to lack of use because one of the Octavias i did was a Taxi and they are up and down the gears day in and day out i think it's down to the battery gasses with the battery being closed in with that battery box the gasses can only go one way and that's downwards towards that area and furrs the gearbox casing up around that area.

    New tyres needed all round then! They’ll be knackered like caravan tyres that just sit still for ages? The fact the owner puts cheap tyres on this type of car is a flashing red light that it has had zero maintenance and was bought for show? Obvious question is why can’t you ask the owner why it is/was parked up? Are they detained somewhere else?

    I remember you did a video on a blue R32 was looking for it for a while back but you must of removed it. just watched this as ive got an R32 myself had 2 of them. don't agree on manual is the way to go as the clutches feel too high and annoying when your changing fast as you tend to do in these cars and also because of the sound of the DSG gear changes one of main reasons why you buy this car is for the sound it makes. These cars on that mileage won't be anything less than 10K unless its very poor condition. its been sat and owner probably wanted rid of it ill guess at £8200

    They sound so nice. Not really a VW guy so I have no clue but I do like a BMW 😊 i’ll go for a guess at £10600

    Hi great video, what comeback is there if the information provided by carVertical is incorrect? Their customer service isn't very helpful.

    How can u buy a car from the owner and not know why he parked it up ? Anyway good luck and hope it’s a cheap and easy fix 👍

    I’ll guess £8900. Great looking car and a steal if that is what you paid and is a cheap fix fingers crossed!!

    Lovely car and spec I would say around the £8000 mark you paid for it
