Think I might be addicted to these “ I bought a cheap”. Gives a really good insight as well on what to look out for when purchasing a car as well. Great content as always
Agree. These are my favourite type of video. The old rust buckets!
@@Sam-gw5pl These and the different Land Rover cars he reviews but that’s just a personal bias from my side as they’re my favourite cars😂
@@jai8star This. And more. Land Rovers are awesome.
Matt, perhaps these cars should be called 'reasonably priced cars' ? This is just my marketing cap on . Cheap sounds like Del boy or Arfur Daly 😃 😀 😄 😁
Me too, becoming addicted ....
I really like this idea of recycling older / cheaper cars…it’s far greener than a new electric vehicle….❤
“Bangernomics” the phrase for it is.
@@Dan23_7 … must remember that one!…😘
@@petersmitham8273 My current car is 20 years old, I got it last may. I’ve no intentions of selling it. VW beetle 1.9 tdi. 40 mpg urban, 60 ish on motorway. It’s a frugal thing
@@Dan23_7 Driving in an old diesel is the same as making a terror attack.. And they will be illegal to drive within the next 2-3-5 years all over the world.
@@andersnielsen6044 My goodness what planet are you on ? Come back to me with a realistic comment please 👍🏼
The Mk5 golf is the official car of being overtaken in a 20 when you're already doing 30
😂👌👍
" Let's put my belt on and not do a Rishi " 😆
I was thinking trousers not seat belts.
@@philtowle4683 OH YES......now "that " image is back in my head, damn it all.
Matt, just bought a new car and your recommendation for Car Vertical was a life saver. Used them on what appeared to be a great car at a reasonable price but discovered more than a few gremlins in its past. Well worth the £20 not to have to deal with those issues and know to go for something else!
that is good!
I think am am addicted to these videos. Absolutely love the compressive overview. Your doing a great job and giving life to some of these older cars and no doubt pleasing the buyer whilst making a tidy profit too. Well done, it's inspiring.
Glad you like them!
Another absolute winner of a video.
There are hundreds of car channels on TH-cam however this is,imo,by far the best.
All top often they start with cheap and cheerful but soon creep up to spending £10k plus. They soon drift into uncomfortable collaborations with other channels.
This however is gold. He's found a winning formula and sticks to it.
I'm addicted to these brilliant videos
That is an Inverness plate. The Highland winters are very harsh and cause serious corrosion issues. Cars last on average about 8 to 10 years up there. I know from bitter experience.
Good point
I used to have the 1.4 petrol version, it was a very very good car, really reliable. I managed to get one and a replacement half wings paid for by VW too!
Glad to see another car with some life left in it go to a good cause and not just get scrapped. Great content as always Matt.
Mk5 Golfs. I can only echo your sentiments about them. Rusty wings and sills are a given, they eat rear tyres, constant electrical glitches, duff window regulators.....they drive well when their working...but for long term durability...I'll take the 250 quid Fiat Panda! 😁
Totally agree. I have never had an old golf mk 4/5 without a constant engine light on.
My mk5 had a weird electrical issue, kept blowing the heater blower resistor
I had a a very similar car new in the day (2006) - same spec - thought it was the biz and could never imagine what it would look like old and rusty - big fan of Golfs but not the Mk8 - gone over to Toyota now! - great video again
It's inspiring to see that unloved older cars can be bought back to life and used for a few more years. We're so quick to buy new. Love these videos, I am addicted to them. I feel so much more confident in owning and running older cars knowing that spending a bit of money will keep them going. It might be obvious to a professional like Matt, but for us amateurs we need all the help we can get!
Well done! Solid runner there. The music on at the beginning was Dark Star, Crosby Stills & Nash, 1977, good stuff!
Those 1.6lt FSI (BLF) engines have Chains, Sister had the bigger Horse Powered one and she loved it. Put plenty of miles on it. They runner between on Super Unleaded which is recommended in the Fuel Flap. Do use a bit oil though as my Sister found out.
I totally agree. It does run better on super unleaded. I’m glad it’s got a chain not a belt. One less issue to worry about .
@@Dyo17192 I had to change the chain at around 200k km / 124k miles, so it's not completely free of worries, but at that mileage I think that's ok.
Agreed, good fuel stops it coking up and I ran my 2006 auto one up to 170k with no issues and no chain rattle whatsoever
Your mate's mate has got himself bargain, Everyone needs a friend like you.
You have got such a great niche in these cheap car videos, love them and your elation or disappointment at this budget end!! 😄
I'd say those marks/dents were from roof bars having been fitted for a long time, dirt getting under the feet etc.
My guess would be window cleaners car previously.
Send it to the Balkans 😄 it would cost 3 times more!
Not with steering wheel on right side.
@@krompirusa100 Trust me even if the steering wheel is on the roof it will still cost 3 times more
Kod nas bi to uvalili za 4500eura hahaha
@@krompirusa100 with the steering wheel on the left side this car is 2500 - 3000 euros in the Balkans
3 times more? Lmao, we can only wish
The wife and I both owned a GT Sport diesel at one point. Traded mine in, but we've, still got hers. I use it for work and it's a great car. It's reliable, simple and a great blend of performance and MPG. We've had hers 12 years now and it's been a great simple car, that makes you smile and it's no coincidence why they appear so much on police interceptor chases
With that bodywork it was always worth loose change. You did alright.
While exchange rates aren't a perfect comparison, there seems to be a lot of cheap kind of good cars in the UK. The used car market in the U.S. is still crazy high, but getting not as bad.
A regular person will struggle to find such a deal. Car dealers have it a bit easier. But it's true, such cars can be had, if you find a person who is willing to sell it for that much.
Perfect video for a quiet Friday night in! Cheers for the video!
A video about a Volkswagen Golf always sparks my interest!😄😊😊
I bought an ‘08 1.9 Tdi bluemotion for £3400 in 2017. Ran it for 5 years, took it up to 176k and then sold it for £750 cash. It never missed a beat.
This why I’ll never buy a new car resell value is terrible
Have had one of these mk5 with the same 1.6 fsi, weren't that bad, all of the rust had been taken care of, still drives great with 270k km on it.
These engines can easily get to 400/500k km with good maintanance
An easy fix for those wheel arches could probably be to add some of those plastic extenders. My VW garage suggested to that to my mk2 after I had severely scratched one of them.
I'm pretty sure the wings are bolt on with these. It's an easier job than fitting extenders straight. A bit of paint and that would last 3 or even 4 years.
I just sold my 05 mkV Golf TDI which I had it the last 8 years. Thankfully it was never a horror show of problems and warning lights. It was just a decent reliable motor. Except for the crusty front wing problem which I got sorted!
I valeted the car, buffed up the head lights and added a fresh set of number plates. Great advice (inspired by this channel) which transformed the car 👍🏻
Great video as always. Cheers.
i bet if you looked around you could pick up 2 matching wings for it,its a shame that roofs dented Great video as always.
That’s it, if it was just the wings I would’ve bothered
Good quick flip Matt.
Can confirm the weather in the North of Scotland is crap, constantly. Sea air up here encourages the rust too.
Yes. I've seen a white 2 year old Dacia estate up on the North coast of Scotland, and it had rust forming around the wheel arches. Particularly the rear ones.....
Here in the states vw had a program where they would repair any corrosion up until 2020 I think. My son has a 2010 MK5 jetta Wolfsburg DSG about 4 years ago with 111k miles with a recent cam belt. VW pretty much re-bodied it for free. New wings, new quarters, new boot and new bonnet, though all only had minor bubbling starting. Car looked brand new. Well kept otherwise. 137k now. Been pretty much flawless other than normal wear and tear items.
I've got that exact same car and same year. It has a timing chain. Been one of the best cars I've ever had.
I bought my son one of these for his 17th birthday (5 years ago) .... same model, but a 55 plate. He's still got it, and its still going strong. It has needed some maintenance, not surprisingly, and the bodywork is very disappointing (wings and sills on their way out), but I paid £2995 when I bought it (70k miles), and 50k miles later, its still worth £1,500 or so. That is good going, and inside, it still feels tight as a drum.
It's just a shame VW didn't put as much effort into the bodywork ... but, a great 1st car - not too quick, not too slow, most jobs DIY etc.
Eldest daughter turns 17 this week ... toss up between used golf vs used focus .... tough choice
A mk7/7.5 1.4 tsi is probably your best bet. Aside from water pumps and noisy rear shocks they're pretty bulletproof (if serviced on time)
A lot of honesty and integrity goes a long way in these videos to dispel the used car dealer stigma, well done. Thanks for the upload.
Love the VW Bongs Of Doom! Had a Tiguan that loved to regale me with its various ailments with bongs and disco warning lights !
I bought my wife a Mk5 2.0 diesel a few years ago. She loved it. I didn't, because it was me that was constantly getting the thing fixed. The body and interior was solid enough but the DSG and engine just seemed fragile. She now has a tuned Mk7 Golf Alltrack which I love, and she drives my Amarok...
Absolutely love these 'I bought...' videos, such a refreshing format, I'm addicted now and watched them all, great presenter, love the humour and content, keep it up!
Thanks for watching. This whole series was a bit of an accident really but people seem to like them
A year, I would knock another 10 years out of that. The Fsi engine was new to Vw's at the time and cost a bit more --it was also easier to service with the oil filter on top of the engine. Also thought this engine had a chain. Good review again.
Take it to central Europe and they'd get 20 out of it :D
Boring, badly made, unreliable German yawn fest. How are these cars remotely popular.
I’ve a feeling that FSI engines have to run on E5 (Super unleaded) and that VW say they can’t run problem free on E10..😢
@@timstinson1 That's true, they are supposed to run on E5 premium fuel, I ran my 1.6 FSI Golf on it every fill up. Almost nobody else would bother!
@@klappars That's funny, i am from central europe and own thw MPI version in the same color. This doesn't require premium fuel, but almost every petrol station offers E5 fuel, even if it's just 95 octane and word around the block is that the FSI versions require 98 octane, rather than just E5.
This might sound weird but at about 12:06 when you're turning the pages of that book, I find the sound of the pages rubbing together really satisfying!! 🤣
Funny, it made my skin crawl.
Just wanted to say thanks for the Car Vertical tip. Used your promo code and received a report loaded with info.
I actually really like these Golfs, and I mean with the 1.6 FSI engine. The prices of lower mileage ones in good condition are still silly, £2.5k or £3k easily even more sometimes. I actually bought one for a relative awhile back, was a cheap eBay auction and I fixed it up myself. Plenty of warning lights, needed the obligatory VW coil pack replacement as well as a few other bits. Sometimes I wish I had one of these instead of my 1.8 Honda Civic of the same age, for one simple reason; the ride quality in the mk5 Golf is superb for the type of car it is and sometimes that's all I want in a run around/commuter car.
Just done this on Tuesday on my trusty, 2 L petrol focus 57 plate matt 99000 miles and well looked after and first refusal to you when I finally do sell it 😊
Had a couple of golf's and agree they are garbage, I had one with the same fault you mentioned and would just cut out randomly and not restart. Took it loads of garages no one could find the fault until one day it broke down and would not restart! I called the AA and within two mins he had found and fixed the fault! It was the switch contacts on the back of the ignition barrel burnt out! Replaced that and never had the issue again!
Lovely Jubbly, nice wee Golf. Maybe they lived next to a Golf Course with all those wee dents😏
This takes me back, when I was a child my mum had a mk5 1.9tdi Golf.
Another enjoyable video Matt , never underestimate an old banger 👍
Thanks 👍
Just want to say I love your content! Discovered it a few days ago and have been binging since!! Keep up the great work😊
Thank you! Will do!
Saved another motor & you are a top technician now fitting your own number plates well done matt & thanks for the videos
A lot of car for the money and wouldn't take much to fix it up. New wings in colour, throw a cheap sat nav head unit in it and some cheap second hand alloys.
Then try and get a paintless dent repair done.
Do that work with a good clean and buff will leave you with a great run around.
Personally I have never seen what all the fuss is about with VW Golf's but for a lot of people its the only car they will buy - Good marketing by VAG I guess!! You did OK with this one its just a pity the bodywork wasn't better because it has obviously been looked after mechanically. Anyway a nice cheap car for your mate's mate with enough left over to buy some new wings!
It is nice to be nice sometimes! Used VW Golf will make any driving enthusiast happy for a bit.
Bought one last year, Ksh 500,000 2007, (£4000 equivalent) had a faulty fuse box which caused multiple electrical faults, replaced and is now a great car
I have a 81k miless 2007 Golf GTI 3 door in basic standard trim with Aircon the only option ticked to my knowledge. A fantastic and thoroughly reliable car so far after almost 5 yrs. It has only needed tyres and some bushings to pass inspection and has been a delight to own. The interior even with the tartan seats is a little grey in colour and soul, but it looks like brand new. They clean up very well.
Decent little car for that money. The 1.6FSI has a chain and it's its Achilles heal. Also the coil packs go but not expensive if you get spurious ones. Always give it a minute after stating up and it'll last a long time. I've had one with 220k without issues other than a coil.
Old crusty wings seems to be the old vw trade mark lol specially on the golf's.
Least you made a small profit its better than nothing. Really enjoy these videos 📹
Time for High Peak Autos bingo -
£500, headlamp buff, valet, mismatched tyres, new reg plates, rust, questionable odours ...
Superb content, keep it up!
If it gets through an MOT wth no advisories, it's clean enough and low enough miles to be worth spenfing a little on. New cambelt and water pump. Be patient and you can probably find a pair of wings in that colour. And a grey and clear rattle can would easily tidy up where the roof bars have been. Then it'd be a good tidy car that could last for years. It's probably ULEZ compliant, and the minor dents wouldn't detract in outer London. A cheap, respectable, and fairly economical family runabout in the making.
Mk5 Golf's are generally excellent cars. The mk5 GTI is brilliant. Think you underestimated this one!
I use to see these cars everywhere. Crazy how quickly a car model can disappear from the roads.
These Cheap Things Get Better Every Video Cheers Mat!
I like the idea behind owning "just a car" like this for a year or 2 or bangernomics as i think you've called it if you look after it the thing will keep going, Then again having a nice motor is one of the only luxuries most of us have.
The words for your gravestone…..” It,ll look ok with a mini valet and a buff” 😂
Plenty of leg room, plenty of headroom, plenty of elbow room…
It’s got cup holders
Good flip. Annoying when it's mechanically sound but the body is shot.
Intriguing options. That rusty set of front wings looked truly sad. Who in their right mind puts water-retaining foam in a wing? Your mate has got a bargain, as far as I can see. As always, your local carwash did a great job and all for 20, when my local would charge 70 for that amount of work.
70 for a mini valet? bloody hell
In Canada you’d pay the equivalent of £160 for that detail. I can’t believe how cheap it is for a detail/valet in the UK!! 😮
@Josh B in the UK they avoid basic rights like sick pay, proper pay slips etc.
@@stewartbridge5162 much less expensive to do business there though as well. Commercial rents there can still be found for reasonable money. Not here 😬
We don’t get sick pay here much in Canada. Very rare to have an employer that pays that. And only 10 days of holidays per year, and good luck taking any more than 4 days in a row.
I remember reading somewhere that the foam was there to improve the sound insulation.
The MK5 Golf was a low point for Volkswagen, I agree with everything you said, we had nothing but problems with ours, and it just felt shìt.
Cost accountants were swarming,they disguised it with a nice interior and 'perceived quality '
MK5 Golf is the worst Golf of all time IMO. The front wheel arches rot from the inside out as they put a stupid piece of foam in there to apparently reduce noise but it actually just acts like a sponge and absorbs water and dirt and rots the unpainted metal until it reaches the other side of the wing. The Headlights have the worst clouding and oxidisation of any car on the market too and even the lower sills at the back rot and in doing so eventually make the car uneconomical to repair. The DSG boxes were notoriously unreliable and the 1.4 turbo had issues too the Diesels were all good but not as good as they were in the MK4. Electronically its also a very iffy car.
The thing I like about the Mk5 is that it was the technical blue print for most Volkswagen, Skoda and Seat products going forward at least a decade. It makes retrofits and mods super easy. I'd toss the Pioneer head unit and replace it with a RCG-330g for the modern convenience of CarPlay and Android Auto with a factory look and integration. I'd also chuck a set of used alloys on - but only if it were my personal car and not a flip.
It's interesting hearing you say cars from Scotland are often rotten. Just over two years ago I bought a 2015 Honda CRV from a dealer in Burton on Trent, show room condition. 4 months in I put new pads on the back just to find the underneath absolutely rotten, checked the service book, it came from Scotland!Thanks to mad used prices and WBAC I just about got my money back after 11 months.
My cousins had a 1.6 Mk 5 Golf, rubbish, loads of faults and kept going into limp mode, never resolved. Amazingly they bought a Mk7 , that's been fine though
You can buy new colour matched wings off eBay for £80 a piece , also many vag dealers will replace them free if you have dealer history as it’s a known fault due to the foam pads they stuck on the back
And it’s a 12 year guarantee
You made a bit of profit on it mate, You saved it from the scrapyard for a bit, What is not to like? 👌
Hey Matt! Another good video and a perfect car for someone who likes to tinker with putting it right. I had a Mk4 which I kept for a couple of years. However I find VW a bit bland these days but prefer their sister companies of Seat and Skoda more appealing. Keep them coming!
I totally agree the 2.0 tdi allways seem to give me issues the 1.9 mk4 allways bombproof I daily a mk4 130 for a work hack for site 👌
i’ve always loved the mk5 golf, especially the GT version in black. I think it looks so good
I don't get why people think they're so pretty. Golfs are just boring hatchbacks
This is the thing, its best far the best Golf ever made. The petrols were almost completely bulletproof. My sister had a 1.4 from 2014 to Last year, when it decided the whole engine should blow up, it was on its last legs, multiple issues. Either way it was a great servant.
@@ThisIsMyRodrick Uhh less than 10y for the engine to blow up doesn't sound bulletproof
whats different on the gt version?
@@Imra99928 It wasn't serviced much as it should, it was 07, not brand new aswell. it wasn't down to the car fully, plus it did everything my sister could have asked. she was gonna upgrade anyway. I meant in General, those Golfs were, I was just using my sister's one as an example of a Mk5 that was good servant (even if it needed alot of work to it). Its not the best example but I was just to add a story element to fit the narrative. They are well made cars, overall.
1.9 TDI PD Is the greatest engine ever made
I had a Golf IV Gti Tdi 25th Anniversary around 11 yeat ago, Recaro leather seats and xenon headlights. 1.9 tdi 150hp. That car as impressive, fast and funny as hell. I miss it. A lot
Nice video Matt, great content. Well done on helping the chap out. Yes, it is nice to be nice. A profit is a profit . Cheers
That guy got a bargain
My mom has the 1,9 tdi and that rusty shitbox never fails, never had any problems, exept rust on the chassie, 300k km and still drives like new
My uncle had one of these back in the day and did donkeys miles on it... Back in 07 he got it new, and in 2020 when I passed my driving he was selling it-- he goes he'd have given it to me if it had much life left but he'd done LOADS of miles on it... Absolutely love me a golf even if the Mk5 was a weak point, in my opinion too
Gotta say my old MK5 2.0 TDi GT was one of the best cars I've owned, did everything boringly well.....took it from 20k to 100k miles without missing a beat ,just regular services and good to go.....
It is always nice to be nice. It's good to hear that it's going to a good home. There's potential to repair all the body damage if it is to be kept long-term.
Another great video, and an old story for you! I bet you can’t wait! In the 80s VW kept the price down, by making unusual things, options. A dealer received a Mars Red, under a year old 5 door Golf, low mileage that would normally fly out the door. But the one person who didn’t spend £145 or so, meant this one wouldn’t shift. So he bought it a new gear knob. With 5 written on it. On the test drive the new owner didn’t get beyond 4th, and never brought it back. Yes….5th gear was an option 😂
I have the 2005 2.0l petrol. Timing belt snapped on my doing 120KM. Now I need a new engine. Love from 🇿🇲
Definitely chain driven, I took one to 170k miles and only had minor niggles, door locks packed up, coil packs occasionally. The other major weakness on these, front wings side, is the rear subframe which starts to rot badly and once this takes hold there’s little point trying to save them sadly.
you had minor what?
I'm going to be in the market for a 'I bought a cheap first car' in a few months time. These are very helpful videos. Thanks Matt.
I've had my MK5 and put over 110k reliable miles on mine. I have a big soft spot for them.
Average car is all it is
@@jjb4531Maybe it's average for you? I have a Golf MK5 and i really like this car! Its cheap to run, fun to drive, easy to get parts for and very easy to do the service and maintenance by yourself on because everything is easy accessible under the hood. My Golf is 20 years old now and i'm not going to change it for a new car when it overall has better quality than todays new cars when it been taken good care of.
Buy old Turbo Diesel cars for lots of fun. My 1.9 TDI that's in my VW Caddy is great. My little turbo is loud, I used a cone filter and a straight through exhaust. No smog tests in my state. People look confused when I drive by them going "choo, wahhhh choo," I'm getting a tune next.
brought my mk5 golf 1.9tdi 2 years ago at 130k miles, nearlly 150k miles now and still runs like a new car.
"Bong of doom": Sounds like a Hawkwind album. The mystery music sounded like Crosby, Stills & Nash - yes, I am old..
I’ve had a mk3 mk4 mk7.5 and a seat Leon inbetween, all have been super reliable cars. 1.4, 1.6, 1.9tdi and 1.5 tsi. I swopped to a bmw inbetween and will never ever do that again. Unfortunately my 2022 a3 has been full of electrical faults, if it wasn’t a company car I’d happy go back to something like this for the sheer dependability
I own a Mark 4 Diesel and it’s been fantastic for me. It’s an absolute tank that just never seems to go wrong. 170,000 miles and it’s passed it’s last 2 MoT’s with no advisories. Best £1k I’ve ever spent!
I got a mk5 2,0 TDI couldn't be happier, bulletproof. Yes they can have electrical problems but if you put non OEM sensors in there can give out a wrong voltage readout and VW love to turn the engine light on for minor things. Also the door fabric de laminates the process starts from factory and is accelerated by heat me being in Australia I had to get it re trimmed.
Great cars, I paid 25500 euro for a 1.6 FSI auto in 2006 in Ireland , still have it, great car, to me it's still a 25k car I even spent 1500 respraying it recently and it's back looking stunning. The FSI engine is chain driven and a great engine.
Did you pay much for the respray? I’m in Ireland too and have a tornado red mk5 1.4, but the paint on the roof is all flaky and shit
@@oclarke31 1500 euro in Dublin can get his name if u want, mine is 06 flash red with whole thing pealing , for roof I think he would charge 250?
There are cars for people and people for cars I think it’s great to keep any car on the road it’s just better🤷♂️ keep it up Matt thankyou 👏
Definitely better than the last Golf featured on your channel, Matt.👍
I recently bought a 2014 VW Caddy van with just 43k and so far I have changed the EGR value and now the injectors need replacing. My mechanic said that it's a common fault with all VWs.
Everyone says that they hate VW but secretly everyone loves them😮
There ain't much to hate but there isn't a lot to love either.
I know anybody who has owned one will just love it (even more if you get a old golf GTI)
@@jameshogg601 There is plenty to love😜
Not really; ALL golfs are boring to look at and the latest ones are crappy and expensive to maintain. Personally I'd sell it the next day if I was given one for free.
Nope. Most unreliable car I've had in 40 years motoring was a VW. Despite full servicing, it had a massive string of faults, all over the car. Engine and gearbox were good, everything else was awful. Just very bad build quality.
My daughter has one of these mk5 1.6FSI’s, albeit in 54 reg year. Remarkably it’s got no rust at all on the front wings (or anywhere else for that matter) which must be a first, especially since it’s done 147k
I was expecting the EML to be on on yours as these engines should be run on Super Unleaded but no one ever does and normal unleaded eventually knackers the catalytic converter, my daughters has been on since she got the car at 125k. It’s a bit of a shed, central locking don’t work on the drivers door and the OSR door won’t open most of the time but the engine, gearbox, brakes etc are sweet and it feels solid and safe to drive - I suspect it would go on for many 000’s more miles, especially since the bodywork is not falling away from it.
i watch all your videos regularly mate! I hope to buy a cheap car for myself by the year end once i start working in the UK.
Love from India
Thanks for watching. All the best
@@HighPeakAutos Hope I find someone who can guide me during the car buying when I need it in dec 2023 :)
Another great video and a “MASSIVE SHOUTOUT “ to “CAR VERTICAL “ for sponsoring the video.
Love the car what a bargain .....the number plate not to shabby ..!
Another entertaining video Matt. Thanks. 👍👍👍
