Exactly, EA113 with a K04 turbo found only in the GTI ed30-35, S3, TTs, Leon Cupra and mk6 golf R. EA113 is also utilised with a smaller turbo - K03, found on mk5 GTI, TT , A3, EOS, Passat, Leon, Octavia and quite a few more.
As an owner of a bog standard Mk.5 GTI, it being an all-rounder is why I love it. I don't have the money or garage space for a car exclusively for fun driving but I didn't want to just drive a boring daily, so the GTI fits perfectly for me. My one's a manual too which probably makes it a more involving drive than the DSG.
They're not as exciting or as fun as a civic type r in my opinion but the golf is such a good in-between option of fun and a great daily, just not as cool as a type r to me
it is in the edition 30 and the main difference is only the intake camshaft that has sligthly bigger cams. There are also the valve springs that are known to be more resistant
You need to get your hands on a Mk7. Tuning wise they're incredible. A GTI with a couple bolt ons with stock turbo opens it up for over 210wkw easily. Get it on e85 with a big turbo they can reliably push up to 370wkw without opening the motor.
@@KiwiCarLife if it was an auto I see where you're coming from, theyre quite boring. If you drive a manual edition 40, it's basically a fwd GTI with the golf r motor and LSD and is way more fun than any R.
@@KiwiCarLife no doubt with that, but I prefer feeling of grip at launch and driving control in winter times. plus before joining vag clan, I was a subaru guy
Many of these drive around here in Germany so they are almost boring, but hot hatches are great I bought a Audi S3 8L and it is just amazing to drive and quite rare already
Yeah the S3 is just that little bit rarer aye which in my books makes it more interesting. Not too many ED35's around tho which is why I like this and the pirelli edition of the mk5
Where did you learn to flick the paddle shifters in that particular way? Flamboyant way to get in some extra engagement when paddle shifting lol gotta try it myself. Maybe it might become a signature of yours others will start to copy!
Would be keen to see you to review a Suzuki swift sport turbo with the boosterjet engine. I think this car is also another 'do-everything' hot hatch, intrested to see how it goes when compared to the GTI.
I've had one for 1 and a half years now (6spd manual though not the auto) and still love it, not as powerful as the VW or as quick in a straight line but around 400kg's lighter which is very significant in cars this size and great for where I live full of windy roads in the Adelaide hills. When I bought it I'd been driving commodores for 15 years and the little mean machine boosterjet in this chassis was an entire universe of difference and fun lol
Had to lose our Golf GTI, loved it to bits but cost of parts and maintenance once it got a few too many years on it ruined the value proposition. Wife ended up just getting a turbo Subaru Impreza.
I would have loved for you to try my new gti when you were down here in chch. its a mk6 but with a stage 1 tune cts full exhaust and intake. I also put new PS5 tyres on as well as leather swap. It dynoed at ( to the wheels ) 228hp and 330ft lb
Mark 5 I reckon is where it’s at. Mark 6 is the accountant special where interior trim quality was slashed in order to save money. I had flowing numbers for AC temps on my 2005 ML270cdi.
@@KiwiCarLife ooo ok ok. Might have to consider that. If I do get an ed35 tho, I’ll stage 1 it and you could do a comparison to your 130! 👌That could be interesting for sure

That's a EA113 as found in the MK5 GTI/ed30, LCR, and S3 also the same gen R.
Ah I see
Yeah definitely not a ea888

A fantastic video. I’m becoming convinced these Edition 35’s will be future classics and will appreciate in value. Just epic cars.
Yeah they’re good cars man
Once again hard to argue with the points presented in this vid, looks like a great car!
Thanks man! Yeah I really like it
Mk7 Golf Gti TCR probably best FWD golf ever made.
Not really coz it costs disproportionally more than the regular ones
@KiwiCarLife I completely agree. Hopefully, Gti TCR depreciates in value over a decade and becomes more attainable, but I doubt it!
Edition40 mk7 is best for your money
The good ole Wainui Hill🙂 I used to have fun doing mad vtec's driving up there in my BB6 Prelude 😀
Oh yess good road
just as a clarification, at 0:48 the engine shown is EA113. the Edition 35/Mk6 R used the mk5 gti engine but modified to be stronger and more power.
Ah yes
it is in the edition 30 and the main difference is only the intake camshaft that has sligthly bigger cams.
There are also the valve springs that are known to be more resistant

I drove a mk7 r and still prefer the ml6, half the price for starters

1:21 Edition35 and 6R got Gen1 EA113 series engine with codes CDLG and CDLA
Love my Edition35, very balanced car, but it needs AWD to truly show potential
@@ArtSkyNet interesting, I prefer GTI, less understeer and weight
@@KiwiCarLife no doubt with that, but I prefer feeling of grip at launch and driving control in winter times.

I am so happy I brought the manual 35 edition
Good vehicle
I believe you will like the R version of the same generation.
Hmm maybe, did the mk7 R wagon and didn’t like it that much
Mk6 GTI is growing on me, but can't part with my Euro R for one
Yeah I wouldn’t sell a euro r for one but they’re really good cars

you should drive a tuned scirocco R

what tune you running?

Mark 5 I reckon is where it’s at.
Mark 6 is the accountant special where interior trim quality was slashed in order to save money.
I had flowing numbers for AC temps on my 2005 ML270cdi.
Oh I reckon the interior of the mk6 is muuuuch better than the mk5 haha
Mk6 interior is much better than Mk5, materials are better and it feels quality. Mk5 interiors feel a little cheap in comparison.
What are you talking about @Markmcgrath9098? Were you high when you wrote this comment?
Ea888 come in the normal gti this is a ea113 that come with the k04 turbo
Ah I see
gotta have this car, i will be back soon
Haha would recommend man
Mannnn tryna figure out between one of these and a 130i. Got me thinking hard there my bro🤣
I’d get the 130i. More exiting I6 and RWD
@@KiwiCarLife ooo ok ok. Might have to consider that. If I do get an ed35 tho, I’ll stage 1 it and you could do a comparison to your 130! 👌That could be interesting for sure
The extra sound is from soundaktor I remove that , so now I hear the car and not fake sound😀
Good stuff
EA888 noooooo 😱😱😱 but is EA113 with a k04 Turbo inside from the Golf5 😊
Yes apologies I got that wrong
good morning, that's not so bad, something like that can happen sometimes.😊
Just bought one
Nice!
I want a mk6 gti so bad but I don’t want really high insurance
Mmm that’s fair
Im a big fan of vw golfs im just put off them due to reliability issues euros have
Apparently they’re not that bad
whats the average price of this model?
10-15k?
I’d love to see you compare one of these to a Mazda 3 MPs, battle of the hot hatches
Yeah maybe one day

its EA 113 not EA888 its the golf 6R block
Yes haha I’ve been told many times in the comments. My mistake sorry!
I don't mind these golfs but they get a lot of hate
Yeah imo they’re good
Check engine light gang !
That's default accessory for VW's. No Check engine light in ignition.
Lol
Wrong engine Bro🤦🏿♂️
