Hi there Im actually from KZN, Durban Very informative video Im actually looking to buy a Golf 7 GTI 2016 model with a mileage of 116000km I would like to know what are the costs of fuel consumption on this type of vehicle
Waterpump/Thermostat. I've replaced 4 over 3 years in less than 80,000km. It costs about R15K everytime. Symptoms: Coolant smell and/or leak under car. Daily low coolant warning. Eventually you'll see the dash temp gauge act erratically, sometime go low or high, or even overheat warning. My advice, if you gonna drive it daily over 100km per day, don't buy out of warranty. Especially if you're getting it financed.
These issues are applicable to all Golf 7 GTI's. The Golf 7.5 GTI might have improved/revised parts fitted to remedy these issue, but we have no data to back this up.
@@wheelindex8983 im enjoying it, the general build quality isnt as good as the golf but from my research there is much less things that go wrong.got a full 3 year warranty which is good. Everything you touch is nice, the steering wheel,leather seats etc but some of plastics are cheap. the engine is strong, 252bhp,270lbs torque,used st's worked out around £2000 less than the equivalent golf gti which is a bonus
Greetings, great content bra. At what mileage is it advisable to sell/get rid of the golf 7 gti? Mine is currently on 147 000 km, I'm thinking of selling it before it starts giving me problems. Please advise. Ta
I checked with this other accredited mechanic in PTA who specialize in dsg gearboxes, they say that to replace everything, gearbox to mechatronic unit, it'll cost u about R56-60k
Good usable guideline
Thumbs up
Very informative video my bru, this helps alot !

Any "expensive" VW product outside of warranty will have high maintenance costs.
Great video 🙌🏽🙌🏽
What are insurance costs for it
What causes the oil level to come up in the engine? Is it a valve? And is it a huge issue or something that can be sorted out quickly
Dont forget about the Mechatronic units that barely last 200k km
correct.
Good video bro. What percentage of cars do these faults effect? And what mileages?
Thanks 🦁

@@wheelindex8983 i gave up in the end, to many horror stories with the gti. Went for a focus st instead
@@mrlionrocks that's still a great choice and comparable to the Golf Gti, the Ford Focus ST offers better value for money, maybe less street cred.

it all depends on your appetite for risk? what's wrong with the car?
@@wheelindex8983 Nothing much, still solid but the top shock mounting are making a noise so I might need to replace that.
@@humbulanindou4003how is it going with the car?
How are they with DSG issues?
