Hi Champ,
A bit off topic. I had a 2018 S3 just looking at changing it for a 7.5 golf R. I have to say I felt the s3 was quicker a bit snappier. I’m now thinking I shouldn’t have sold it! How did you find the two?
Cheers
@@ThunderMk2 1 yr later and still no reply
🤣🤣🤣
the mechanic is such a calm and nice person he was happy to see the r32 love him
Thanks
Jack Wasley Great Mechanic mate.I have learnt some great stuff from the vid mate.Thanks 👍🏽
@@Joutenshi how's the turbo conversion coming along pal ?
@@Joutenshi my r32 doesnt always unlock on the fob but sounds like it has.....always locks though.....any ideas
@@BMW_NUT running now mate, just needs mapping really! Im fighting with myself weather I should pay somebody to do it for me or take the long road and invest in myself and do it myself ha.
I love seeing knowledgeable enthusiasts. I could chat all day with these lads.
Glad you enjoyed the video 🙌🏼
That jack tech needs more credit for what he knows top guy has he got insta
@@harrygrant6334 my insta is @mrjackwasley, feel free to drop me a follow.
@@harrygrant6334 they is many more mechanics out there that know more
The kind of mechanic you want working on your car
Thankyou!
@@Joutenshi Yoo you got a youtube, props to you my man. I saw the video you did on his high mileage GTi and was very fun to watch .Looking forward to seeing you in more future videos.
@@Joutenshi Can I send you a video of an R32 idling and can you tell me if it sounds healthy
@@mlfishing842 yeah sure mate. My insta is mrjackwasley
Very informative. Have owned mine for 10 years now and apart from the perishables, haven’t had too many issues. Surprisingly good around the twisties with a decent coilover set up. I’ve also updated the ARBs to H&R which makes a massive difference with the thicker rear. No more understeer. Never feel fast because the power delivery is so linear but 0-60 in 6 and keeps pulling all the way to 155, you really don’t need anymore on UK roads. The sound speaks for itself and they still turn heads 15 years on. They’ll never stick a VR6 in a Golf again. I’ve never added up my 10 year fuel bill though 😄
Definitely has got me hooked after a week of ownership, something about driving around with a 3.2 in a Golf is just cool to me
You know y it doesn't really have many issues with the car
Because it's a Volkswagen
Weve had ours even longer and still love it. Its had quite an easy life and not needed any big jobs done.....so far! I think that shape still looks great due to the clean lines. The sound it makes will soon be gone i to history, so we should enjoy it while it lasts. I dont find the fuel too bad . Maybe because i drive an r36 and the wife uses the golf. The passat is thirstier. The engines seem pretty strong. Dont want to say bulletproof, just in case....
What about the rust?
Had a 2007 R32 from new for 7 years without issue too, shouldn’t have sold it either. RSQ3 now so I’m sort of happy still, love the things..
Those guys at VW are brilliant. Just what the company needs more on digital platforms
That's pretty damn clean, great to see an enthusiast and down to earth mechanic at a main dealer, too
Thanks man, appreciate it.
That mechanic could make his own yt channel, very knowledgeable cool guy
Thankyou! I'm hoping to get something out soon.
he has a normal one for a car mechanic... at least here in Switzerland you have to study for 4 Years to be allowed to call yourself a Car mechanic (Automobilmechatroniker)
@@HCD488 Switzerland does some things better than us. In the UK a bin collector (no offense to bin collectors) can call himself a waste management Engineer. We have no protection for professional titles except doctor and nurse.
@@davidwalden444 I wasn't really sure of what point he was trying to make, I did four years of education and in still doing endless training every year attaining every qualification j can get my hands on and im still convinced I need to know more 😂
Jack Wasley where are you based mate?
I remember jack, he used to work at pole position uk with the Subaru's. I did a week's work experience with him years ago. Good bloke who knows his stuff.
That's me mate!
Great video with such a humble & genuine super informative honest down to earth tech guy, intrigued to see how this R32 journey turns out, keep up the good work all x
Thanks for the kind words!
This is the kind of mechanic I would like to have working on my 230km MK5 GTi, very knowledgeable
the mechanic is a legend whatta great knowledgable and kind guy
Thanks, really appreciate the kind words
@@Joutenshi no problem, thats all props to you, continue to do so dude. Gained a sub, also gonna check out the vids :)
@@HJCars I do intend to start making videos on my own channel, trying to figure out what to make videos about however is quite tricky 😂
@@Joutenshi cover installing certain parts that arent traditionally done by people at home, and explain how it all works (e.g. diff, brakes, lines, exhaust etc... would be v interesting
@@HJCars all taken on board, ill see what I can come up with.
Had one for 10 years from new. One of those Rich guys 🤣 not..... Loved the sound of them, and never had any major issues in the 10 years. Eventually sold as it was sat on drive not doing many miles and cost 500+ a year in tax. It had the leather recaro'ss in which I loved and suited the car well in my opinion.
3:07 that guy cracks me up man 😂😂
I watched this with interest, i bought a VW last year with a Full service history, mass flywheel replacement, timing chain replacement, mechanically great, so my service was just done and the tech did a video for me, pointed out that the bump stops need replacing, centre exhaust clamp needs replacing, brake discs and pads need replacing, fuel filter housing needs replacing, the bill for this was big....it's at this time you start thinking to yourself to start saving money...obviously a dealer will charge you way above your local garage, I have decided to source all the required parts from a reputable German parts company to make savings, and getting all the required parts in over the next couple of months, doing this (a) saves the garage time in ordering the parts and (b) means you will pay the garage only for labour.... if at all possible don't let a dealer garage take care of your car other than a service and to get the log book stamped.
I would love to take this guy to help me buy a used car lol! He knows his stuff
Tbh mines on 10700 had it 7 months. Had the mk4 before, which tbh is a nice looking motor, buts it’s years behind the ride comfort and handling of the mk5.
Chains are not a problem as long as you do oil in them once a year . Mine has had oil changed once a year since new. When I check my oil it’s always really clean looking, even after 2 thousand miles since I did it..
Good to see Jack is doing well still :) what a legend
Thabkyou for the kind words!
‘Cheapest R32 in the country’. Regardless of whether it’s the cheapest or not , bro it’s stunning 😍😍
Loved this mate. Nice to see the inside knowledge of a pro technician. Looking forward to seeing the future development of this car!!
Thankyou, appreciate the kind comment.
Plenty to come mate! thank you
Love that engine. The wife has an r32 and ive got an r36. Very different cars though. Similar sound since i got a stainless exhaust on the passat. I wouldnt say either car was nimble, like a fiesta but they are both lovely to drive and very planted at speed. Hers is 14 years old and mine 12 but theyre holding together well. Decent quality. Both quite costly to run but we do low miles. Hoping to keep them as long as possible but it might be difficult as my job might be gone now. Youve got to have a bit of fun somehow though.....
Recently subscribed to your channel after watching your polo gti review, I bought mine as a result. Great content mate keep it up.
Glad to hear mate! Thank you
This is awesome! I bought my first MKV R32 last friday in Tornado Red as well, #4474 in US. Looking forward to seeing this evolution and learning along the way. Taking mine to a service shop this week to see how it is, hopefully I get as much good news as you did! I'm most likely going to try and keep mine as much OE as I can.
Loving the content of the R32 and thumbs up on the VW mechanic Jack.
Very knowledgeable about these cars.
Glad you're enjoying the content!
That was my old r32, I owned it just over 6 months ago. Funnily I was watching your video when you test drove that loud r32 a day before I picked this up lol.
Keep up the good work lad banging vids🔥🔥
Plenty to come!
Mechanic is probably the most knowledgeable one in UK!
Honestly that's so very kind of you, i just try really hard to learn every day and keep to date with all the current and developing technology. Every day is a school day!
Really enjoy the vids with Jack. Can learn a lot
Thankyou!
Great video mate. Amazing mechanic too. Wish we had some like that back home. My R32 has a fault code for Bank 1 sensor 1, any idea which pipe that is? Cheers
13:10 someone’s gassed 😂
🤣
You'll want to check the flex disc for cracking. If it fails the drive shaft can wobble around and cause damage to the flex pipes, power steering power lines and oil sensor lines
Very informative! This is so useful for us guys who buy these cars at high Milage and wonder why ‘something still doesn’t feel right’! Would love to hear a comparison between this and the mk5 GTI or S3
Glad to hear! Yeah I think a R32/GTI comparison is due, especially with both cars being there
Well all need a jack in ours lives owning a mk5😂
😂
I feel like I need to offer some sort of rental service for my time 😂
Jack Wasley agree mate!
Lol I actually know a jack with a mk5 R32 😂
Jack would be far better off working for r tech!! Seriously get him there!
Enjoying these vids on your R32, I got my first golf only a few years ago. I’m not a kid and I’ve longed for a mk2 golf gti 16 valve from the day they hit the road, along with the Peugeot 205 1.9 gti pretty much my dream cars! I’ve had loads of 205’s lol the mechanic is the salt of the earth, you can tell he enjoys going to work! Keep up the great vids! Maybe consider doing a more classic motor in the future! So many of us gear heads started out with a golf or 205 as r first sporty hatchback!
Id love to do a classic/older car! Just would like an indoor space to park it, had a bad experience with my old GC8 Subaru so I'd want to be prepared next time I dive in!
Respect to the mechanic very helpful
One of the best cars I ever had, best exhaust sound.
Love the r32 bro looking into getting one how much was it ? Should I always make sure the chain has been done on a high mileage one
Great Video thanks for posting, learned loads about what to look for. Solid advice from Jack!
Fantastic video content again bro. Will need to take mine to Jack soon. 👍
I'll be waiting
Great vid again! Gave me inspiration to work on mine today. Gonna change the DSG oil and filter- something you wont have to worry about in yours! Keep up the good vids on this car mate!
Thank you mate!
Nice old car , I’ve had two in the past and do miss them ... rare in red with roof as you know ... I’m just running an old RS3 in Suzuka grey now similar to one featured in your previous video some time back 👍🚗
Very nice mate, do love an 8P RS3
Great mechanic and awesome video as usual Hamza, but bro what microphone are you using for the videos???
Thankyou, I appreciate the kind words
Thanks mate! its just a standard onboard mic on the GoPro Hero 8 Black
TR Hamza Nice one brother 💙 inshAllah you and your family keep well during this time! Keep up the good work
I always enjoy your content Hamza. Nice to see you back at it
Hamza sporting the Covid Wig there
Mk2 GTI should be the next buy ;)
Proper clean underneath wouldn't think it was that old from looking at it
Yeah MK5’s have aged well from a solidity/rust standpoint
Went to checkout a 2014 mk7 r and its resr arms legit looked yours
I really liked the metallic trim in the interior
Man like jack!!! Big up!!!! I love the R32!!!! Best mk5 💯
Check chain stretch on vcds. Chain stretch is their biggest problem.
The T-ROC R, still remember the fun you were having in that car 🔥
Great car, my friend is actually taking delivery of one soon, I might make some more content on one of them!
TR Hamza would be sick to see some more of that car! 👍👌
What everyone’s been doing in lockdown @6:02
Great vid lad keep em coming👍👍👍
I’ve got a question with a brand-new Volkswagen can you still speed in a new Volkswagen because I am interesting in getting a brand-new tonigrag Thank you if you answer my question
I've got a gti petrol engine(dead) and I'm thinking about taking the cluster clock over too my mk5 diesel.
Will it work?
Hey Bud, would you go APR with this?
Good to see you outside ChaiWala last night 😁😁
What model Passat did u get the aluminium arms from bro
What diagnostic software does the dealer use?
Wicked tech
I k just. Love r32 amazing sound
All show and no go 😉
Yo Hamza! I’ve got a set of MeyleHD wishbones + bushes that I’ve used for 6 weeks before i upgraded my originals with powerflex stuff.
You can have them if you want! Not sure how i can message you.
Do you still have these brother?
This vid was Sick!! Need more BRUV!!!
Thank you bro!
Lovely Vw great sound .
Stay safe Hamza
Quite the opposite compared to the title "everything Wrong..." - shes actually not in bad condition ;0)
Love watching ur videos bro keep it up 👊🏼
Thank you bro, plenty to come!
TR Hamza love that 👌🏼❤️
Would you say vw is a good car platform
Good video bro. Keep it up👍
Thank you 👍🏼
I had mine a week and the exhaust light came on, hoped it would be lambda sensor, turned out it was the chains 👎
The exhaust flex’s also rusted and when they took the exhaust off the res fell to bits so left it straight through. The exhaust guy thought it was that loud he wanted to put an his s3 res back on it 😂😂
Keeep em coming asap
@trhamza love the vids
Where the ep3 if u do not mind me asking
Thank you, see above comment
I am thinking of starting a YT channel where I buy cars and make absolutely no modifications to them whatsoever. A car that was designed right first time, imagine that.
Love the videos on this!🔥
🙌🏼🙌🏼
Yes yes , man like hamza back to business
Regular content back on track 👊🏼
Cheapest R32, yet it's in better condition than most
Cause people are more bothered about millage than how the car been looked after
Alright mate, how much do you pay for an inspection at a “dealer” garage? Ford say about £100
We are far less than that, we actually offer seasonal checks which are around £20 I believe which gets you a valet, health check and a autoglym kit in summer!
Jack Wasley no worries. Sorry to spread misinformation then ! I’ve just got a mk1 1.6 focus 02 plate, would this apply to me also? I’m down in Cornwall.
@@conorf8091 I mean we're a volkswagen main dealer and don't get much call for giving any other than VAG vehicles a look over however if you're ever down these parts feel free to drop me a line and I'm sure I could arrange something
Cheap car that you was lucky with it dosent need mutch money spending on it
Yeah good car so far!
Excellent video👊🏼👍
Thank you 👍🏼
Hi mate can you give us the details for the mechanic I need dsg and haldex service
Feel free to add me on Instagram @mrjackwasley
How much money is the chepest VW Mk.-5 R32 in U.K?
The only one selling in my country is 5 doors mk-5 2006 year model R32 for 9700 €.
This one was £3900
What’s happened to the Scoobie?
Just love a big engine golf
You buy a vr6 2.8 and do a turbo build
Awesome video man
Which VW garage is this?
Johnson's Volkswagen in Solihull
Supercharger mod would kill it but understand not the right time
How much did you pay for it?
That quality be looking fresh af tho
Got a Solid base there mate, no sign of any rust 😅
Yeah not too crusty haha
@@TRHamza how did you manage to fix the rust
Hey lads.. I am about to see a VW Passat B6 2.0tfsi 200bhp
On pictures looks pretty good. Good service history and old MOT's looks ok nothing too crazy on there. 3 previous owners and 140k miles...
Is it worth it to give it stage 1 remap? It is a much heavier car then the golf GTI so I feel like basic remap would benefit the car..should push out around 250bhp and 60 more torque also a bit better mpg maybe 10%?
I can get the car for a good price I think (1500 pounds) and will change the cambelt straight away(was changed at 70k miles so it's due now pretty much)
Does anyone has experience with PASSAT b6 with this engine? What to look for on the inspection and test drive ETC
THANKS A LOT PEOPLE stay safe😎
Keep vids coming 👍🏻👍🏻
Plenty on the way 👍🏼
was a bit weird to see the car run idle for so long without putting on the exhaust suction, I think that's what it's called in English
Great videos man👌
Thanks man 👊🏼
What’s the update on the Type R?
On pause, it’s in a bit of a mess
Wish they sold the 5 door here in the US. I'd trade my Mk7 for one.
Can I buy the cats for my 3.2 Audi
Very nice motor 👊🏻
I remember when my mate bought a new mk5 R32. It cost us 2 hours one night whilst the met police tore it apart. They thought we were drug dealers due to our age at the time (20).
That age thing can't be right as they only check and search vehicles like that the way they did is if they suspect you of possession of any drugs whilst in the vehicle, drugs marker on a vehicle or intelligence information passed to the police
@@Jatt.Lalkar probably the reason he could get a new r32 at 20 😂
I've got a 48k engine sat in my garage. Can have it cheap. Based Surrey.
How much??
good informative vid mate
Appreciate it mate!
