- Hey everyone! In this video, I'm going to take you on a wild ride and share the story of when and why I blew up my modified MK7.5R Golf engine in Scotland (27th of June 2022). Follow along as I recount the events leading up to the engine failure, and try to make sense of what went wrong. Trust me, it's a tale that's sure to make you laugh and maybe even shed a tear. So grab a snack, sit back, and join me on this journey through the highs and lows of car ownership. Also shout out @s33ens on Instagram over at devils developments he is who remapped my car and rebuilt the engine.

I CAN CONFIRM THIS GUY USED TO LAUNCH HIS CAR BEFORE HIS HEATED SEATS HAVE EVEN WARMED UP
Mine wouldn't even let me activate launch until engine and oil were up to temp lol
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
There's always that one guy who know better than everyone else
@antop4597 I can't in my new m135i infact until its up to temp I don't even go into sport mode
@@markrhoden68 yea it's the same with my cupra, until temp is up it won't activate launch, and that's a built motor as well
Good on you mate for taking ownership of probably why it blew up, most guys would blame Tuning etc.
First video I’ve seen of you mad respect to owning up to your faults instead of blaming others or shops/tunes when it’s not theirs 💯
🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Remember kids let your engine get up to temperature before being that guy or eventually it'll go bang.
Brutal man, thanks for posting and providing the insight into a catastrophic tsi engine failure. 👍
Love the idea mate, at least it’s all sorted now. Great video benan bro
No what hats off to you mate, at lest you admit it, hope the cars on the road soon 👍
Thanks for clearing that up.
Mk7 & 7.5 consume a lot of oil especially without a catch can, all owners monitor your oil closely... 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
I've had my 7.5 r for about 4 years. Never had problems with oil, track days were solid too. But nar was factory detuned to 292ps from 310ps, maybe that helped
Great video, How much did the repair cost all in with labour?
Good on you for acknowledging that you didn’t look after it properly, and that’s why it blew up. Most people would’ve just said “oh the tune caused it” or “VW sucks I’m never buying one again”.
Honestly, as with most German cars, as long as you look after them, they’ll look after you.
Not letting it warm up before getting into boost and launching is definitely a big reason.
Do I think it’s dumb to do that stuff? Yeah, because it shortens the lifespan of your engine quite a bit, as you found out, and you actually lose power as it dies, because often you do piston ring and cylinder damage which causes compression loss. But I can’t rag on ya too hard because you owned up to it.
My lesson was a much cheaper one. A 1986 Honda 250 enduro bike I bought for $1000USD. I knew it leaked and burnt oil badly. But one day I took it out on a 4-5 hour ride, much longer than my normal 2 hours. Well it had burnt and leaked all the oil (also didn’t check it before the ride) and was bone dry. It started bogging down as I was going down my street, coming up to my driveway. I let it cool off, filled it back up, and it fired up on the first kick. It still ran fine, but burnt oil like a 2 stroke. Sold it for $500, so I only lost about $500 all in all.
Ever since then I maintain my vehicles pretty darn well. Never get over 3k RPM or half throttle until my oil temp hits 180°F.
It sounds like you’ve learned your lesson and will take good care of the car now. You did something stupid, but you are not a stupid person because you’ve learned from your mistakes. Stupid people don’t learn.

The pistons are definitely one of the weakest links with this engine. GTI’s get forged steel cranks, forged steel rods, and cast aluminum alloy pistons with a heat resistant coating. Now, the forged parts aren’t using as strong of materials as aftermarket forged components, but they are much better than cast options.
That’s why you have to be especially careful with how much load you put on the engine under 2,800-3,000rpm, because with direct injection engines there’s a phenomenon called low speed pre-ignition or LSPI. It causes super high cylinder pressures which causes severe knock and can destroy your pistons, especially the aluminum ones in the GTI.
great video concept
Thanks for idea
How much did it cost for a engine rebuild ?
1:39 so honest lol
what radios/walkie talkies do you guys use?
“I’m warm my bums warm so my cars warm” 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I blew up my engine too but saved it as soon as I felt uneven idle, new forged pistons and rods sorted it. Main cause was injectors, and high knock on shit fuel
Great trip
The best
Did you lose oil pressure?
What lip do you have on your R in this video?
loool that voice note
Weird about the esso 99. I use esso supreme and its meant to be next to no ethanol?
He's talking shit about the fuel
My stage 1 m140i runs better on esso then it did on v power and Tesco 99
Done plenty of research on the fuel b4 I switched as you said esso have next to no ethanol
@@jovanmiller2346 how much bhp is m140i at stage 1?
RAC driver was taking his sweet time 🤣
The total lack of mechanical sympathy the younger generation has is so evident. They don't seem to have a clue when they are doing damage to their vehicles.
27 years old and I’ve learnt my expensive lesson 😂
@@sciroccobtv fair play, I've always been good for looking after equipment mainly because my dad would kick my arse if I was ragging stuff 😂
I think having an oil temp readout on the dash helps as you always know when it's stone cold.
@@MD-uu5nt my oil temp is always on the dash now😂
I religiously wait for the car to reach closed loop before even moving it. Then never exceed 3000rpm until fully warm.
One expensive Scotland trip 🤣
How much for the repair?
My golf 7.5 r 2018 has the same blew up 😢🥺 stage 2 396 dyno hp the engine was dead pistons dead
Just looks like user error. Not letting the oil warm up the lubricate all the bearings. Might of been low on oil too i hear guys to all ways say check your oil.
What power was the car running when the engine blew up? Also how much did the forge engine build cost?! Ta
Dyno’d at 393bhp and it was alot 😂
@@sciroccobtv what bhp now? More than 10? 😉
@@sciroccobtv forged and running only 393? why lmao
@@antop4597 400bhp atm and because i haven’t gone big turbo yet
@@antop4597 forged engines ain’t cheap and neither is going big turbo 😂
This guy doesn’t deserve to drive a fiat panda
Yea what a fkn bellend, i feel sorry for that car. Just plain facepalm.
You never even drive 50km before checking oil.
How many miles/Kilometres did it have when it blew?
33,000 miles
@@sciroccobtv ouch
How much power was the car running?
An answer in the comments said dyno saw 393bhp
Was it built before it blew?
Nah
Dude my r36 man no matter what I did wouldn’t break! Launching cold start running over 300,000kms, why didn’t the golf r just have a vr6 engine honestly those motors are bullet proof! Anyway now I have a golf r myself and I’m hella worried when it comes to stuff like this, I heard keep a eye on your oil temp! If it goes between 116 to 124 pull over and let it cool down for 30 mints! Or expect a broken head gasket or a piston at that, the motor can’t handle those high temps! I reckon that’s what happen with yours! Your driving hella far distances you should keep a eye on the oil temp, if your modding this cars I would upgrade the oil cooler to a bigger size and also get a new pcv with oil catch can! This things are known to go and can cause serious engine issues, this are there down falls that many have spoken about with this motor and it’s the only down falls which you can avoid ever happening! By doing those 2 things! And clearly not destroying it every day with accelerations like any car, really. You could destroy a new car in under a day if you go reckless on them.
I would suggest any golf r person if you driving it crazy get a bigger oil cooler! There’s wider ones, that keep temps lower, get a new pcv with a oil catch can! This are the two that I have heard by mechanics that give this engines there down fall, they over heat and once it over heats the oil the motors gone, remember those temps if your ever driving and get anywhere between 110 to 126 pull over! Trust me I wouldn’t even risk it. Always eyes on radiator temps as well make sure it’s always on 90 degrees for radiator temps, if it goes slightly up pull over, dam I feel sorry for you man I hope this never happens to anyone golf family!!
Hmm i use esso 99 got me scares now but then seen comments above 👆🏽so not sure what to use only got a F56 cooper s stage 1 running 290BHP
Up to you i’m sticking to what my tuner said
😂😂😂 Who doesn’t warm the engine up 🤷♂️
How much was the rebuild 😬
probably 1-2k easily
@@ug0ts3rvd surely more than that. I can't understand someone having such little mechanical sympathy.
You learn from costly mistakes.
I thought it was common knowledge amoung petrol heads to let your car warm up and Waiting till oil gets up to temp and circulating in high performance cars
It is and i chose to ignore it 😂
4:21 of pure IQ lowering language
So did you learn your lesson or are you gonna wreck it again?
Well if u watch the video it answers this question
Kinda question is that?
Let's just say making your engine more powerful than what the manufacturer settled on for reliability might make your engine more prone to maintenance neglect problems ect 🤣. Some makers like VW are just more likely to break, Doesn't mean they're bad.
any car really, i've seen 2JZs and LS7s cough up the ghost. some take longer then others, the number 1 rule of tuning is that you basically half the mileage on any maintenance requirements. Oil changes go down to 3,000 miles. spark plugs get changed out 5-10k depending on brand. if you tune and you don't do maintenance, its a matter of time. Time is already shorted with the higher power output.
needs a m50 swap imo
That’s a lot of bullshit about the fuel, I’ve ran my mapped golf r, mk3frs and my m140i on esso synergy supreme and they all went fine
Watch officially gassed vid on it
lmao so you re telling me you never let your car warm up ? jesus Christ some people don t deserve this machines
Hey
Did you get a conclusion about the engine blow??
I think you might have thought of a lot of cases
I'll tell you the conclusion that I came from experiencing the same experience and the engine blow case around me.
The direct cause of the engine blow is the loss of engine oil viscosity. If the heat management of the golf R is insufficient and the tuning is overlapped, the loss of viscosity of the engine oil comes earlier than you thought.
The engine blow is terrible for everyone, but if you don't want it to happen, you have to check the viscosity of the engine oil periodically.
