I'd like to swap to an AHU or ALH to an older compact rear-drive car with a six speed manual transmission. It would weigh less than a Golf.

Hay I have a mk3 ahu and it has 13000 on it and the car is a rust bucket but free wait reduction I'm making about 350 fwhp

My car has auto parking and front and rear sensors , if I get the one with reverse camera Will the sensors still show on the display and work?

Much of the unreliability comes from poor maintenance habits and lots of tuning. These cars will haul ass from 30-100mph and lots of the people driving them drive them like they stole them. That usually means issues after constant beat downs.

My dads Skoda Octavia 2003 has 1.9 ALH and it STILL runs like a dream. He has around 450k miles on it and an average mpg of 62. Sure, it has rust here and there, but it NEVER failed him. He will drive it until it dies.

It’s fuel economy not gas mileage

Piston speed is relative to the lower rpm redline. Pistons speeds don’t vary much from engine to engine, i BELIEVE, but what do I know

Our brm is over 452,000 miles and gives us 46mpg

I don’t think the bew is all that similar to the ALH…I think the ahu is more like the ALH

You should a radiator protector mesh to cover up that cooler so it doesn’t get destroyed with little rocks it will also look better

I had to get a seal fixed because oil was leaking into the cylinder on the far right. Part was like 40 bucks but the job was like 1200 because the design VW went with on the MK6 had the camshaft being supported in a cheap way and had to be moved. They had to take apart half the engine just to get to the part. It's really not been any huge issues though. I'm at 110k miles and needed a clutch, fuel pump and master cylinder. I bought it brand new and I still enjoy driving it everyday. I do wish I would have got the 4 door version though. Next time....

The intake is a big restriction now. There’s upgraded oem ones

I own one! It is an auto and a 5 door car, but those were my only options (such is life). The motor has done 85,000, but the car also did over 150,000 miles with an earlier engine before a cam belt blew that one. And as a bonus, it's not rusted out! I might post something on my channel some day. Thanks for the good video! Subscribed.

At least someone on TH-cam appreciates budget cars and mods. You don't need 500HP to have fun and get up to speed. Everyone can have a good time with what they have.

Hi Matt! How do you get the back emblem to tilt for the backup camera? Is there something else to install?

Hey I was wondering where did you buy you’re black badges I searched on Amazon but didn’t find anything.

My mk4 golf has 240k miles. The Steering rack leaked and deeted the pump. No Ac and now the exhaust is rotted. Planning on buying a newer GTI pretty soon. .

285k miles without service? 😂 u wish… and I had planty of 1.9TDi engines.

Idk who says MK6 is unreliable. I havent had mine leave me stranded and just replaced my water pump at 150k (from factory).

Do you have a Tesla ? Do you look forward to Optimus washing a car ?

Thank you! I'm using the tire Shine to all of the exterior plastics of my car❤🎉

So you basically did a full straight pipe and nothing else?

Firstly the 1990s was the very best decade for vehicles because they were put together so well and that includes the early 2000s because my 1997 Toyota Hilux is so well put together and so over engineered its absolutely brilliant and l live in Australia and bean a commercial vehicle it was the last carburatored vehicle available in Australia and still has its original aisin carburator of course VWs are going to be reliable and in the 1990s the very best vehicle VW made was of course tge VW Taro

Take a shot everytime he says twork

That is 90bhp not whp stock.

But these are interference motors with timing belts.... Aren't they?

Reliable engines? The Mercedes OM617s. They were amazing.

Bro I remember when I was a kid my father bought a 2001 diesel Jetta and now I’m driving it (2024)

Would the RCD330 be compatible with my 2011 VW GTI 4 door turbocharged. Please let me know. Thanks

Just bought a 2012 mk6 with 87k miles on it. Should I be safe and just immediately buy a timing chain for it?

Pd 130...coming up on 300k xx🎉

What motor was in the mk1

Hall Kenneth Martin Carol Anderson Jennifer

He means Tyre shine fokes , Tire means to get sleepy 😂

8:18 Ah yes, that "5 holes in my front bumper" nice look. Boy you look like a dumbass

Will my aftermarket AHD camera work with this unit?

I am on my 2 season of using nexgen. No complaints here easy to use last long

None of my Tueboed 2.0t audi vw burn oil.. usually if the pcv goes bad then your leaking out rear main seal.

Is it just me or does this guy sound like Chris Fix 😅

Anyone know how to connect to factory rvc flip

You sounds like chrisfix 😆

cool cars dude!

Where can I find that?

Just keep up with maintenance is really the bottom line. Do walnut blasting on your valves, so the timing chain, change your oil and all your filters, service your transmission, and a lot more. Your timing chain you should change every 50k miles in all honesty but if you modify it you need to do it more often because you’ll make more power and stretch the chain quicker. Oil changes I’d recommend every 5k miles but when you modify it, especially with a bigger turbo, drop it down a thousand or so. Your transmission it really depends. If you’re running a dsg you can get away with 40-50k miles unless if you modify it then you need to do it sooner. For a manual you need to assess the way you drive. If you do a lot of city driving or are on the throttle a lot you need to service it every 20-30k miles. Your clutch in your manual will eventually go out but that also depends on how you drive it. My original clutch latest 140k miles before it started to slip. A more aggressive clutch will require you to swap it out quicker. There are solutions for the carbon build up on the valves. One is walnut blasting which if not done right can absolutely kill your engine. That really only happens if the guy doing it accidentally sprays into the cylinder through an open valve. What I like to do is run an aux fuel system. I can make 600hp without running out of fueling now and it’s injected before the valves so it cleans them. Something not talked about is the water pump. It’ll fail and it’ll be a pain to replace. Mine died at 145k miles and I replaced it with a metal one. The water pump typically fails due to it cracking and not due to the actual pump breaking so a metal one is a go to fix. If you replace the intake manifold go with an aftermarket one. Even if you don’t want to modify your car it’s a way better option since it’s metal and most of them don’t have flaps in them. If you go with a bigger turbo get one that can fit in the oem spot ie one in a k03 or k04 housing that way all the oil lines hook up to it and your ecu can read it. Also if you want to make more than 400 horsepower you need more fueling ie aux fuel kits or wmi, you’ll also need something bigger than a k04 like a gt3071r. If you want to go above 450 horsepower you need to do rods, rod bearings and probably pistons. When you make more power you also want to step down to a thinner oil something like 5w-30 would work but you don’t necessarily need to do that since liqui moly makes good anti friction additives for their oil. The fly wheel will go out. Sometimes it warns you sometimes it doesn’t. This is an issue with both the dsg and manual transmission. The flywheel is a dual mass flywheel and it’s used because there is inherently a lot of vibrations and sharp impulses in an inline 4 engine along with the weak synchros that vw loves to put into their transmission. The two masses move relative to each other to take up slack and reduce vibrations making your weak synchros not die. Your flywheel can fail in a a couple different ways. First the springs could give out allowing the secondary mass to rotate freely to its max angles and this will sound like a helicopter is taking off under your car. When it does this it’ll slam into your transmission housing and you’ll have a bad time. Second the flywheel springs won’t fail but the clearances between the masses can shrink during hard uses causing them to bind together. This won’t make a noise however it’ll slowly destroy your synchros causing bits of synchro to destroy your transmission. Eventually you’ll transmission will lock up and you’ll need to replace it. An indicator for this is a slow but growing whine of your transmission. At this point you should either rebuilt your transmission or replace it because damage has already occurred and it’ll worsen on its own. The flywheel in this instance will hit your transmission housing although not as much as it would if the springs were the thing that killed it. NEVER REPLACE YOUR DUAL MASS FLYWHEEL WITH A SINGLE MASS FLYWHEEL UNLESS IF YOUR STRENGTHEN THE INTERNALS OF YOUR TRANSMISSION!!! The engines produced by vw have clearances between the cylinder and piston rings. These are there to allow oil between the piston rings and cylinder wall which lowers friction aiding in higher gas mileage and lower emissions. As your car ages these clearances will get bigger as the piston rings wear which means you burn more oil. Check your oil every time you put gas in your car. The lower the friction you can get with your oil the better for maintaining these clearances small. That being said use oils certified by vw. I recommend liqui moly. My car has only ever seen liqui moly after the first oil change and the condition of the engine based off of data taken while it was running and doing pulls is equivalent to one with 40-50k miles on it and mine has three times the miles. There is so much more for keeping your car running good but this is the major things. You do these and you’re not going to run into many major issues over the life of the car.

This is a joke

What harness did you use I’m having the hardest time finding the right one!

I bought my VW Passat B5 1.9 TDI 81 ALH with over 500k mileage. Sold it with 700k, and still ran like a clock.

I have a mark 5 golf 1.9 tid it’s now on 256.000 miles and never gone wrong and it’s still on the same clutch 😂.

My 2002 doesnt sound like this 😢
