you can do a mileage service(at every 15000km for petrol engines and 10000km for diesel) or an yearly service, which ever comes first.

Give that mechanic a raise 🤣🤣🤣

@@stellacloete2223 Hi, you can get them online from takealot or from any spareshop near you.

@vusumzinomatye3592 you need to get a small pod filter to put on the pipe so the oil does not come out and mess the engine, and the engine can still breathe

@vusumzinomatye3592 if you watch my video on how to paint a valve/tappet cover at around 9:30 you will see the filter I am talking about, this filter can be bought from any spare shop

Thank you for the support. The german flag is painted on under the hood, and it was done for the aesthetics of the car once the hood is open.

And how is the ride without the helper springs?

If you're going to max out the coilover and go the lowest it allows you then you will have to roll your fenders or else the fender will rub on the tire and get damaged another thing you should be careful of when maxing out the coilover is that your steering rack arm will rub on your chassis arm unless c notched.

@delvinsafers3930 this depends in the brand of coilover you are using if it is a higher end coilover then you won't have a "bouncy" or "harsh" ride but another thing to remember with one way adjustable coilovers is that the lower you go the harder your ride will get.

Thanks for the comment bro, unfortunately this car has been sold, but I have another project I am working on and the reveal will be soon so be on the lookout for it. 💪

Thanks 🔥

It's exactly the same process just don't remove the helper springs.

Definitely something I will include in future video's.

Keep an eye out for my next video 😊

No, it actually won't as the whole strut is threaded, and you tighten the nuts so it holds up the spring. Even when jacking the car, the spring is secured with the coilover nuts.. the helper spring is there to reduce the harshness of the ride and give a smoother, more comfortable feel for the occupants.

If your oil seal is not damaged and leaking previously then there's no need to replace the seal 👌🏼

Yes it will prevent lifter/tappet noise in the future ,it's the right oil for a higher mileage car or a car that is used as a daily as it's thicker it should lose minimal viscosity till your next service

@@supermancustoms what is ur current mileage?

@Menoboy meno i have around 320000km and travel around 600 to 700km a week

@@supermancustoms ok i hope the 15 40 oil wont cause bearing knock sooner

@Menoboy meno I know of some guys with high mileage golf's who even go as high up as using diesel oil and their vehicles still run perfectly

Yes it's the same to service all mk1s just follow these steps and you'll have your vehicle perfect for the next 15000km till you gotta service it again

@@supermancustoms thanks bro I’ll look you up when I’m in Cape Town you show me around.😅

@@supermancustoms sure bro. Is that oil the recommended one coz I hear 20 w50 should be the one used

@frederick mosiane 20w50 is manufacture spec but as a vehicle gets older it requires a higher viscosity oil so for higher mileage cars I use a higher viscosity(thicker) oil

Then you need to check if the is water or bubbles coming from your reservoir water bottle because it could be that your head gasket or your cylinder head itself is cracked The speed gauge would either be disconnected from behind the cluster or from your gearbox because on the side of the gearbox you got a speedometer cable that attaches to the gearbox it might be out on of the sides that's why it's not working

hi I had the same problem. first make sure you get someone that really knows colt engines because you will need the head gasket replaced if the top is still fine otherwise it will need to be skimmed. the main problem must be your thermostat, you can remove it completely it will be just fine, but if you want to replace it with a new one make sure you run your car on coolant only and not water. and always make sure your levels are fine by inspecting your coolant and engine oil every now and than, hope this will be helpful

What’s the model of the LEDs this dashboard takes ? I have on e like it and want to replace to LED. Thanks

I usually get them from parts people but these led lights you can get from any spare shop or car accessory shop

It should be connected by a 13mm nut once that is out the lollipop might be held on tightly but just wiggle it around and it will eventually come out

@@supermancustoms I've tried wiggling it with no success... I'm currently driving without the nut in hope that the lollipop will loosen but it's been a week now and it's still tight

He'll get a raise when the car gets a drop 🤫🤣

Thanks piet much appreciated

On the mk1 golf's they don't use drop links but in newer cars like vw polos and so on they take a shortened drop link to go with the coilover kit

@@supermancustoms are you absolutely sure buddy? Is the lack of drop links not detrimental to the stability of the car?.

@@medicineman7461 yes absolutely sure as older model cars do not have sway bars so we cannot connect drop links but on my personal vehicle in the video I have an after market lower stabilizer bar which helps my vehicle stay sturdy at high speeds I will show you this in a future video👌🏼

@@supermancustoms oh was it not a hassle fitting one? I own a 2009 CitiRox and i never knew these babies never came with sway bars lol. It's on lowering springs and its pretty stable even at high speeds

@@medicineman7461 no they fit from one end of the control arm to the other side it's a simple installation you should consider changing to coilies I had lowered springs on my 07 velociti and once I went static I loved it so much that even now that she's gone I made the project car static as well 👀

Thanks for the support 🙏

Thanks for the support bro 🙏

Tough times never last 😭🤣

You know bro 💯

I also want to know
