    That’s a really nice R32. Love it in 3 door with the wingback seats. Nice easy save, well done Dean.👍

      I’ve got a 3 door too with the cloth recaro wingbacks 😎 I think they’re a car that look so much better in 3 door vs 5 door.

    Love the Mk 5 R32 I bought a 3 door manual in deep blue pearl back in 2007 it was a 06 plate with 10k miles paid £16995 for it . Not a fast car but what a lovely sound it made from standard . Great car

    I changed the haldex oil on my Mk6 R and had to top the level up after a quick spin letting the 4 wheel drive engage which fills the filter up so worth checking again… I also ended up changing the actual haldex pump as wasn’t engaging the rear wheels quick enough, my light was coming on indicating wheel spin which shouldn’t happen with the 4 wheel drive indicating faulty pump 👍

  • @justinb2002
    @justinb2002 10 месяцев назад +2

    Small tip, the hand pump used for the haldex oil can normally screw onto the new oil container. Much cleaner 🙂

  • @iBarricade
    @iBarricade 10 месяцев назад +2

    I work at a independent vag specialist and on every haldex oil change I removed the pump and clean inside (Just underneath the filter x2 10mm holding it on) so much build up and shit inside all the time

    Love how you found the stripped 6mm filter drain plug (seen that…) and how you’re restoring it and loving the sound of the exhaust! And how had to pull the filter the old fashioned way…and the OEM air filter part comparison…

    You can't blame the last person who tightened the wheel bolts up, don't forget the vehicle has been in storage for years and that doesn't help, i regularly work on a Mk5 Golf and i can torque every wheel bolt up to spec and i can guarantee every time i go to undo them they won't crack off with impact gun i have to use a power bar and bounce on the bar to initally loosen them i have even chased the threads on the bolt and used the M14 x 1.5mm tap in the hubs and lubed them up but still every time i have to crack them off manually.

There the exact same but different money. Depending where you get them 😅😅 That Car sounds so Happy to have new Spark Plugs. Great job fixing the Gear linkage. I never knew there was a filter under the dash. You always teach me something new bro lol. Wow it now Sounds Mint Dean. Thanks for your hard work bro 😅😅 🇨🇮🇨🇮🇨🇮🇨🇮🇨🇮

    Regarding the gear linkage, you may find that when you change them, one is longer than the other, hence why he was having issues with first and second. Just a thought. Naz ps. Love your channel.

    nice video, and as always informative. I have a tip for the carriage bolt. Loosen the other 4 bolts so there is less tension on the lock bolt . Possibly next time you will get your lock bolt loose this way

    • @nubie1100
      @nubie1100 9 месяцев назад

      I always tighten the rest🤷‍♂️, I thought just like when you put a wheel on and you go around and tighten them by the time you get to the last one the first one is slack again and you go around again. So tightening the other should make the one you don't tighten looser. I might be wrong but it worked for me 🤷‍♂️

    Hey Dean, I really need your help and knowledge on VW.
    My dad stranded with his GOLF 6 automatic, after normal drive he stopped to refill the tank and than the car did not start again. In the MFA it showed "Select P or N" which was not possible. Some local guys at the petrol station manually unlocked it by removing a yellow piece undernethe the gear selecor stick. This allowed to select P and/or N but the car still showed "selece P or N to start" and the selected Gear did flash instead of nowmally lighting up. Have you any Idea where this issue can come from and how to fix?
