@TR Hamza I've Noticed looking at your MK7 Golf GTI that the left Rear Wheel looks lower than that right side not sure weather that's a Common Fault on the MK7 Golf GTI's or not bro I thought I'd touch up on that incase no one else has mentioned or Noticed that in the comments loving the content on this MK7 Golf GTI your absolutely Samshing it bro Keep it up 💯 the cars you have are amazing lots of German whips man love it Keep smashing it great Stuff lovely content and more amazing stuff to come in the near future 😊💯
Must admit I love a GTI, always a sexy car, the black with red is the only colour worth getting in life! I want one! I love the dsg on my diesel mk7 but if I’m owning a GTI it’s stick all the way! You wanna drive it!
@@TRHamza I’m so looking forward to your journey with this car, she’s a wee gem, sure she needs some love but that’s what they are for, show some love and you will get the ride of your life in one 🤣👍
My VW Transporter van makes exactly the same door shut noise when the windows are down. Unless they are fully up they make that horrible rattle when shutting - same both sides.
Really pleasing to see that even at 120K miles the engine is still healthy enough to be mapped. I saw no evidence of blue smoke in the video and this together with the power output on the standard tune indicates these engines are pretty robust. Do you have any service history, I'm assuming that this car had been well maintained? I'm looking to possibly get a Mk7 GTI next year (hopefully this current used car price bubble madness will have burst by then) and the pretty decent condition your GTI was in when inspected reassures me that I'll find a decent one.
Would be great to see more of a progression kinda build, stage 1, stage 2, FBO IS20 maybe some E30 content, IS38 then IS38 Hybrid? Also not sure if the UK Variants have the same fueling components as ROW Epic content as always
How does the clutch handle the new stage 1 map? looking to get mine done but a few places are saying I need to get the clutch done first? ( mk 7 gti manual)
I am surprised that it still develops 240bhp stock. I guess that means that it actually was looked after since if the engine has internal wear, you will drop power on the dyno. I most likely had been serviced regularly. But its definitely a plus point. What octane/ make fuel were you using?
Well impressed with that a lot better condition than i though power figures are decent for a stage 1 as well.I thought i wonder how long before you map it again.....oh five minutes
Its a 4WD dyno. And the dyno is run with all 4 wheels to make the car think that its actually on the road so that there are no issues in how much power it develops.
As far as i know, thats ONLY an issue with the North American since VW never put port injection in North America which helps clean the carbon/ soot off the intake valves. In the EU and UK they have port injection (they did it to pass emissions standards). The intake staying clean is a byproduct of that decision. You will often find people online mentioning problems with carbon build up, but you will also find that those people are not in Europe.
When you said it felt quicker than the s3 last video, im guessin even tho its the same power with the map, the gti is slightly lighter, with less drive train loss, but the main difference would be from the in gear torque from a manual you think??🤔 giving a different sensation of speed
Bit of both yes, there’s also the factor where tuned cars always feel quicker than stock cars (on equivalent power levels), as a good tune usually gets rid of flat spots and feels less ‘lazy/laggy’
Becareful with the ACC, recalibration is expensive and if it isn’t working your insurance is void (this is what brings the insurance group down massively on these cars)
I know this video is about the golf, but I'm just curious. How'd you get the roof rails on your rs3?? When you picked it up on the first video it didn't have roof rails but now it does (I know it has had them for a while). It's been bugging me for a while😅
Good vid Hamzah.. by the way my car has the same problem where you adjust the seat back, had been chewed by the previous owner 😅 well his dog who knows like your say but alot worse than yours is lol 😆
@@TRHamza I meant you can do an intake mod on these MQB airboxes (restriction #1), also remove the snowgrill (restriction #2). It actually makes a difference. By adding a part of a GTE you can get similar results as a VWR600 airbox.
First mods begin next video - already filmed 😁
Need daily posts
Pin this
Get that dodgy wheel fixed lmao
Are you getting its problems fixed
excited for this!
"Chewed by a wild animal or a human you never know these days"
All sorts going on these days 😂

I bet the previous owner had a dog or something maybe a puppy and had it sat in the footwell and it was chewing it all the time
Yes yes... no surprise it was mapped. Can't wait to see the hybrid go in. Head to head with the 140 once the Gti complete.
I’m a DSG kinda guy but definitely nice change here with a manual. Golfs have a lovely slick gearchange too.
Yes Hamza, can’t wait to see the progress of it all
Gonna be a good journey! 👌🏼
Thanks for the upload. I’ve just bought a 7.5 GTI so this video was useful for what commonly goes wrong and what to look out for.
Do the whole build series on this mate! I really enjoyed when you did the series on the high mileage mk5 buikd
Hamza needs that north face sponsor ASAP
Geography teacher north face rather than JD sports north face though 😂
Please do content on the different stages. Would be great to see!
Sorted! 👍🏼
Would be cool to do a couple track days. Pre and post handling mods with times, instead of just loooooaddss of power. Still love any GTI content
Chewed on by a wild animal or a human, you never know these days 🤣🤣🤣 You killed it with that comment bro 😎👌
Bro you’re making the gti market go up in price 😂😂😂 love your content keep it up and more uploads please 🙌🏼
🤣🤣 Thank you bro! GTI’s deserve to go up hahah
i can sell my mk7 i bought in october for basicly the same price after putting 40,000 kms on it lool
Probably the only video ever to feature a better beard than Hamza’s 🤣
Loving this content mate!
Loving this series bro 👌🏽👍🏽
Ur a legend come into the youtube game and changed it!
Thank you bro! High praise 🙏🏼
Standard gti owner here, love this video 👍👍👍
Stage 1 and Stage 2!!! Also show us all the mods that you'll do on the car and in the car in general for us MK7 owners
Hamza the only guy i know that will destage a car haha, you legend, time for stage 2
Great insight into these MK7s and the EA888 👍
You should make a play lists for each of the car builds
This is quality content. Smiled through the whole video ❤️
Must admit I love a GTI, always a sexy car, the black with red is the only colour worth getting in life! I want one! I love the dsg on my diesel mk7 but if I’m owning a GTI it’s stick all the way! You wanna drive it!
Update, I’m now off to find the 2nd cheapest mk7 GTI in the UK!
Haha! Honestly it’s such a fun car in manual form, shifter feel/clutch is great even stock 👌🏼

Looking forward to seeing what's to come 👀
Should be good!
Can’t wait to see what hamza does to this also wats happening to the r32 and Volvo

May I ask, why are all 4 wheels turning on the Dyno? Aren't GTi's front wheel drive?
They are but its a 4 roller dyno, plus it'll prevent the car from freaking out if it only had the fronts spinning, not really an issue tho
@@KasamS Interesting, thank you!
Thanks for this video, so informative and useful.
Can’t wait for this car content.... I want to see the same as how you did the m140i in stages it was perfect bro 👌😎

Another class video. Love the sense of humour.. TBH That 'UKs cheapest MK7 Golf GTI' is in pretty good shape 👌
how come the rear wheels are moving on the dyno when its a front wheel drive car?
Its a 4WD dyno. And the dyno is run with all 4 wheels to make the car think that its actually on the road so that there are no issues in how much power it develops.
It has the facelift wheels
My clutch lasted 20,000 miles from new and had to push vw to do it under warranty. A very weak point on the GTi's and apparently R's too.
Make sure the throttle body is clean, very common for them to build up with carbon!
Will check it out!

@@sohailashiq8693 I have found many in Europe. Even with the lower emissions the carbon buildup is there specially with the high mileage
Great video man
Thanks man!
The wheels are stunning tho
Got to buy a cupra 290 hamza , i got rid of my 7.5R and haven’t regretted it once .🤙
The first car youtuber I’ve seen who wants his car slower😂
So glad you showed the RS2...I couldn't concentrate!!!
Haha couldn’t ignore an RS2!

4wd conversion would be sick and unique
How does the mrc map feel compared to the other one
Definitely stronger, just hits earlier and holds power throughout rev range. Other map was still great though 👍🏼
Got a slip on akrapovic for sale on eBay and Got TCR brake setup front and back if you want upgrades :)
I miss the R32
awesome mk7 GTI contents!
Bro how much would a car check like this usually cost? Estimate ?thanks
Great video TR keep safe bud
What turbo are you planning on swapping to? Looking forward to following this build 👌
You know they're good at mapping when thier tune runs more power and torque but with less bar 👌
Yeah MRC are great 👌🏼
Check the bonnet catch and cable crazy money to fix it
Becareful with the ACC, recalibration is expensive and if it isn’t working your insurance is void (this is what brings the insurance group down massively on these cars)
Yesss North Face.......
When are we going to have a Volvo update??
Hamza’s GTI vs Officially Gassed’s Cupra 🤔
Great stuff! Going to be fun
I know this video is about the golf, but I'm just curious. How'd you get the roof rails on your rs3?? When you picked it up on the first video it didn't have roof rails but now it does (I know it has had them for a while). It's been bugging me for a while😅
eBay 👍🏼
This car is awesome is this car going to get turned?
Full beard and sleeve tattoos seem to be as common as golf Rs these days.
Is there a reason why the rear is spinning? Not sure if it’s the dyno system, but isn’t the GTI front wheel drive?
Hamza, the Volvo Guys.
We are waiting for the T5! Not heard anything from you on that for too too long. Not good
Lmao just imagining the previous owner watching these vids like “…….”
When's the volvo coming back, also you should get a good classy toyota maybe t sport corolla or somthing.
Love his hair what cut is it
You should of got the dsg bro, but yeah.. good value for money
Why are 4 wheels driving on the Dino?? Aren't GTis front wheel drive?
Enjoy your content
Never clicked so fast😂
Get the coolant problem sorted cos I got a similar problem in my golf I’m tryna see what it is 👀😂
Big up bro ✊
Good vid Hamzah.. by the way my car has the same problem where you adjust the seat back, had been chewed by the previous owner 😅 well his dog who knows like your say but alot worse than yours is lol 😆
….Potentially by human 😂😂😂😂 haha…bud u made my day 😂😂
What code reader do you use?
I like the car a lot
Could you review a vw cc 3.6?
Is 10k tooo cheap for a 63 plate gti performance with a DSG semi automatic? 80k miles? Red flag?
Dude you deserve much more followers
You needa mk6 on the channel
Do you not need an intake for a stage 1?
Have you done any mods to the intake or removed the restrictions before getting it dyno'd?
Car was as I bought it, so stock hardware 👍🏼 Now going forward I will be upgrading the various bits

Should have got a seat Leon Cupra R (12) reg
Basically an ED30 on a newer reg, been there done that with the K04 TFSI.
"You never know these days". Yeah the Brexit hits hard.
Coolant overflow hose?
I'm saying it will make 225bhp I'm saying stock
But I'm saying stage 1 MRC Tune bout 250-300bhp
"Basically a mk5" 🤣🤣🤣
Pretty much 🤣
Why did you go with gti and not R?
I never want a car without ACC ever again! DSG and ACC.... i'm lazy :-)
Where i live this would still cost more than 30k
Fuck the thermostat on these 💀😂
Manuals all day
Tr "hybrid turbo" Hamza
Your content is fucking too good
How come no r-tech ????
Probably cos they are crazy busy atm!
What’s goin on with the r32
Currently got a leaking radiator that needs sorting
@@TRHamza we need some more r32 content turn it into a rocket 🚀😂
1;54😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I would of thought you would of taking this to R-Tech?
Working with a variety of places on this one 👍🏼
