@@jordanhazell5271 keen eye. I swear I spotted a little masking mark but when read your comment I watched again and can’t be sure. Funny you commented same.
Tracking won’t cure wallowing on acceleration normally would be a worn lower arm bush if it’s on acceleration then back on deceleration Ive experienced this countless times with customers when doing their alignments So when something is under load you would assume something is moving that shouldn’t be otherwise it would do it continuously
It's amazing how they all go deathly silent when you address the problem with it pulling badly to the left when excellerating and for 4 of them to turn up to sell the car I'm from Birmingham and I think it's a little iffy
They are based in Kidderminster no? You could buy a car from Leicester or Warwickshire, how you know the car hasn't been in or come from those areas lol
If the magna rear differential is shot probably from launching it to death that warranty means nothing if it’s been tuned. I’ll bet my life on it has even if it has been removed before sale. Looks like paint drip on the boot under the R. The dark tints and from brum.. wouldn’t go near it
Being from Birmingham and trying to private sell is horrible, reputation destroyed just by being from the area even with an honest car, and you can’t blame people with this video being a prime example😂
supplied by VW only a few moths ago you said, alarm bells ringing why the previous owner only kept it a few months. you'd also be lucky if VW will cover anything under warranty, it's been modified
Very good video. Personally I wouldn't touch it without the haldex being serviced. The mileage is high for a 21 plate car and the wheels damage on the inside would suggest they're not the original wheels or something has happened and not been repaired properly. Best wishes getting it sorted !
Heated steering wheel is standard in the Golf R Mk8, I've got one. It is not an part of the winter pack option. Winter pack 1 is front heated seats. Winter pack 2 option is front and rear heated seats.
Having the wheels just refurbished and then seeing the quality of the workmanship speaks volumes. Pulling to the left on acceleration, paint runs under the badge, wouldn't have touched it.
I’ve bought a car from Brum had it now for over 6 years apart from the exhaust blowing due to going over a speed bump and scraping it never had any issues. Not sure why all the negative comments especially about coming off the boat etc. Grow up and stop acting childish. Don’t paint everyone with the same brush. The same could be said about buying a car from any major city.
The pulling to the left could be if you had lane keeping assist on, my 8r used to do that sometimes as it didn't know where the middle of the road was under harsh acceleration. Try turning it off and seeing if it still pulls!
Gearbox fault, pulling to left, running paint on boot, all smiles till you said it was pulling to left, about 4 of them turning up.. its like you was buying a car in Birmingham😂😂
Love all your videos. But They are car traders. So why sell a car to Binca, at trade money. When they can retail it themselves. Doesn’t sit right with me
Who has wheel referb done but only on outside edge and also how do you damage wheels like that on inner edge, I would not buy a car from them now as i just think what else are they hiding and it's pulling to left and they said it come up with a fault on drive to you 🙈 it's it's damage or miss use VW will kick it out 😢
I’m born & raised from brum. These guys are new to the trade they’ll make mistakes on the way on stock. High performance cars is always a risk these days. I’d never buy a car at that quality or higher from here unless it’s from a dealer.
But why unless it's from a dealer? The car is the same. Only thing you might get is some after care but there are dealers not just in those areas that have bad reviews for after care when the car turns out to be shite
@ because here in brum high performance cars are ragged to shit, clicks rolled back half its miles & you think it’s done 40k but it’s done 80. You think it’s had no damage but it’s had non recorded damage. Never trust private sellers.
@@OBELISK3210 yeah I agree with that but the car whether it’s with a private seller or dealer it’s still the same car. If a dealer took it in as part ex or from an auction, they wouldn’t know
@ dealers run diagnostics on the dsg gear box to see if the seller has ran the clocks back. They also do it in ecu to see if it’s been flashed & had a map/tune. They run through all the software to make sure it’s up to standards or if the warranty isn’t void. That’s why flagship dealers is more safer to buy from. I know someone right now that’s sold a golf gtd with 65k miles on…he had miles blocked out. But if he hadn’t of sold it privately or the new buyer takes it to VW he will find his cars done an extra 20k miles on it. I’ll never EVER buy private I know the car industry too well.
Calvin's paid retail on it, especially with those miles. Not a nice car at all. 4 car experts yet it is pulling to the left and the wheel refurbishment was only half done.
If I was after a used car especially a hot hatch I'm clicking on the next advert with that amount of owners. I ran a mk8 golf 2020-2023 it was back in dealership many times with software issues 2 replacement 5f infotainment system at £2500 each warranty claim luckily it was a lease as I wouldn't want to pay for all the diagnostic charges and repairs out of warranty on these.
Deffo one for the competitions not retail too many issues with it Those wheels inside have been hammered god knows what the front face would of look liked Fair play
Re the mystery of the damage to the inside of the wheels. I once misjudged a corner on a country road in my gti and the car dropped down off the side of the road on an approximate 30 cm drop for a few seconds and I bumped it back up while the car was still doing 60mph and the inside of both nearside wheels ended up like this one. The wheels banged off rocks and the side of the road when being steered back up onto the road from the drop.
With a very saleable car, why, as a dealer, why would you not retail it and pull out the profit?? The only reason to get out of a car like that to trade is because it has problems.
@@Torquetrailautonothing that can’t be sorted out it’s twatted a kirb or something most likely, new suspension parts round that area, alignment and it’ll be sorted fine. Not even expensive fix.
With the car pulling to one side, I wouldn’t say it’s tracking. I think something is misaligned, whether it’s suspension, or chassis/subframe. Something seems amiss. With the inside of the alloys looking like that, it’s definitely been “driven”. Worth a punt I guess. Be interesting to see an update video on the issues.
That negotiation was messy, in my opinion - admire your patience Calvin. A decent 4 wheel alignment would be more like £75 so suggesting it was £25 was a bit of a stretch!
3 or 4 owners in 46k and 3 years.......and Golf Rs dont torque steer.... Ooof the so called wheel "refurb" !!!£25 for tracking....whose doin it stevie wonder........seems nice lads but im.not feeling this deal.
Calvin, there are a lot of negative comments about these guys in here but I’ll say they are good genuine men. They remind me of the bloke who sold you the grey X5. Good team of lads and know their stuff. You can see their passion pissing out them so a good deal.
The British government have managed to brainwash everyone into being negative towards each other. No idea why they have but it’s definitely intentional. These lads were sound and they know they’re not perfect but they’re trying their best and I think considering their ages they’re doing a great job.
@@CalvinsCarDiarythe British government didn’t brainwash the public into not buying cars from brum, the people from brum made it known to never buy from brum it’s a known fact
@@CalvinsCarDiaryit’s age old mate divide and conquer if you’re fighting each other you won’t be fighting them. They give us that with one hand take our rights and freedom with the other. No one fighting about ice ban is there? No one fighting the insane amount of speed traps, averages, lower motorway limits, terrible roads. Because too busy fighting each other.
Good luck to them seem like they’re doing it right. They’re addressing Birminghams reputation and people won’t give them a chance. Golf R mk8 have oversize sub frame bushes Calv so tracking needs to be done each time you do anything on them suspension related. There’s a kit you can buy to solve that issue. Someone else made a good point, was it the car steering itself? Most likely hit a kirb and either subframe is twisted or track rod ends etc etc easily sorted out by will at VRS.
Tbf I brought the most cleanest Astra vxr from Bradford , I had doubts got there Indian dude was sound asf ! Car was mint , if no what looking at its not a problem , there not all bad up that way plenty of shit down south to 😂
That cars had a hard life already , how do the wheels get damaged on the inside , I’ve had 37 cars in my life up to know and never seen that even on my track cars I’ve owned, some poor sods gona buy this and get some big bills in the future
Link up a TopDon.......Check Wheel Speed Sensors!!!!! Car Pulls to 1 side under load = Subframe!!!!! If You're lucky = Wishbones & Bushes......Lack of Knocking rules this Out!!!
We werent desperate we had it in stock for less than 48 hours ! We saw Calvin’s post and offered him the car, it’s acc a 3 owner car, so an owner every year which is common in many hot hatch’s !
There was an obvious reg flag for driveline or suspension problems before you even drove it - the drivers side front tyre was low with no mention of the passenger side, so uneven wear. And how did those inner wheel rim get so badly scuffed?
Sorry Calvin, something dodgy with that car. Why would a car dealer choose to sell an in demand hot hatch to a trader at trade price? Doesn’t make sense
hi cal ive got a mk 8 gti ive had it for 5 months I'm currently getting loads of assist issues ie warning lights don't worry the vw dealer told me its like an iPhone jst needs an update wtf were are we going to on the flip side its a fabulous drive one of your subscribers will be well happy
Bizarre sale that one. 4 guys selling and a car they just took in p/x and could've retailed for a lot more.. Surely there was a better safer Mk8 out there.
It’s a blue golf R, Calv spec, he couldn’t reign him self in lol 😂 hopefully it will come good with a bit of tracking, but if not it’s win win for us with some great content 👍
I would look at it more as doing what we should be doing for our youngers. Supporting them and encouraging them to achieve. It’s not an ad you sausage, I’m just doing what’s available to me to help them along their journey.
I'd of sent them packing. That pulling to the left isn't right, and how on earth do you kurb the inside of your alloys.. Half the spec they're saying is just standard on the R's, Also the guy said he'd been daily driving it but got a range rover last week, But they've only had the car 48 hours and in that time it's had half a wheel refurb and a ghost fitted (which was probably already on it) .. Sus as anything to me

Parking on kerbs inner wheel catches the kerb edge
Surely it’s a red flag if there a car dealer trying to sell a car to you
Bizarre sale that one. 4 guys selling and a car they just took in p/x and could've retailed for a lot more.. Surely there was a better safer Mk8 out there.
What could go wrong ‘ I bought a car from Birmingham ‘
Just my view but hate when sellers are full on. Talk talk talk. Just to much.
You defo needed to play dancing in the moonlight when you was driving 😂, four lions
It’s a blue golf R, Calv spec, he couldn’t reign him self in lol 😂 hopefully it will come good with a bit of tracking, but if not it’s win win for us with some great content 👍
Stand firm love it calvin
Love your vids bro this just one just seemed more like an ad for another garage 🙈
I would look at it more as doing what we should be doing for our youngers. Supporting them and encouraging them to achieve. It’s not an ad you sausage, I’m just doing what’s available to me to help them along their journey.
@@CalvinsCarDiaryI get that my guy. Didn’t mean anything bad with the comment cal🙈
24:56 £25 thats tracking with us LOL
How does the inside edges of those wheels get so bad?
I hope it’s not the golf r from mark McCanns video
What Mark McCann video is this, is it recent as I can't find it?
Nice paint on the boot 😮
Running good
More sketchy than Rolfe Harris this one.......
23:43 the cars on ramp and you can see oil drip out from the car
Water from the A/C
I'd of sent them packing. That pulling to the left isn't right, and how on earth do you kurb the inside of your alloys.. Half the spec they're saying is just standard on the R's, Also the guy said he'd been daily driving it but got a range rover last week, But they've only had the car 48 hours and in that time it's had half a wheel refurb and a ghost fitted (which was probably already on it) .. Sus as anything to me
