10 Things I HATE About my Volkswagen GTI!

[@TylerSavin]

The third thing you hate about your GTI is that it's a hatch? Don't get a GTI, problem solved.

[@sko7256]

7: How about not using your fkin 10l drinking cup instead of a normal 0,5l...

[@TitvsCaivs]

top 10 things I hate about your complaining. 1.when you say design flaw, please remember, the doorman at VW will be more schooled than you, imagine an engineer 2. I have never seen a MKV Golf rusting, these are galvanized and 100% rustproof. 3. You buy a hatch and hate the hatch because physics... 4. wheelgap maybe.. Bodyroll however is however a bullshit. The GTI is one of the best in it's class, tested by hundreds of journalists and magazines... 5. I've never had that much dirt in my car ever. I clean in weekly outside and every other week inside, but yours looks like it wasn't cleaned since new. 6. You can't complain about the 12 v outlets. You just should have bought a better equipment. I had a 12v in my armrest and one for the backseat passengers too, just above the cupholders. 7. Cupholders and the rest of the car have been designed in Europe. The place where people have their drinks in cups, not 1 gallon chugs like 'muricans. 8. the R Golf has them painted because it costs 10k more than yours. 9. your modded engine makes a noise? maybe you shouldn't have modded it. 10. another design flaw huh. The stupid engineers have not figured out that someone is going to make upgrades to a perfectly good engine?! thats a shame. your like counter will approve my message

[@Bonehaufen]

+Daily Driver Dude...

[@Zero_Ninety]

+Daily Driver The cam follower is a known problem with the early FSI engines, as is the crappy PCV system and the prone to fail DV, this is why on the later engines these components were all redesigned to some extent or another. The clicking noises that the engine makes are also common (whether modded or not), mine has always sounded like a diesel when idling. Your point about the cupholders is true. Americans seem to be obsessed with having huuuuge cupholders.

[@TitvsCaivs]

+Zero Ninety I had the same engine on a 2009 Scirocco and never had any problems with the cam follower, nor the clicking noises. I had it for 80 k km, from 110 to 190k.

[@Zero_Ninety]

Daily Driver Good for you, go find someone who had to replace their HPFP and cam because the cam follower wore through and destroyed them. You not having a problem doesn't mean that it isn't a common problem. VW changed the design because of this.

[@donald86]

Nailed it!

[@inbloom08]

Nothing but smiles every time I drive my manual 09 mk5 GTI. Has been incredibly reliable. Look after it and it will look after you :)

[@herrickpederson1811]

i work at a vw dealership, theres a warranty for corrosion from the inside you should get it checked out

[@bennygreene1421]

We just had snow and ice. Im glad i have a front Wdrive VW golf.

[@Lamboking7]

I also own a mk5 GTI and i absolutely love the accuracy of this video! Im glad im not the only one hateing the damn dripping water in the window or the fact that as soon as i clean my car the hatch gets dirty after one drive.. still love my little egg anyways

[@Lamboking7]

+Lamboking7 And also Eli I had my black plastic lowers painted to match the body its self so no more rough black plastic, its definitely cleaner that way imo

[@DoctaM3]

Damn dude, is there something wrong with your engine? 😝

+Pedro Costa This man right here can drive anything and certainly can out drive you any day of the week. He has made an honest living and has done well for himself, so before you start acting like a incompetent troll, I suggest you go your research.

[@MrTheHillfolk]

+william wolfe Check out boba motoring on here for his 4 cyl Vw with only 1200 hp,and only does low 8s in the 1/4. so slow.

[@98jf5]

+MrTheHillfolk Americans shoving a V8 into everything with wheels doesn't make it a good car, put a European tuned engine and you'll have a real car

[@JoJoJoker]

Clean your car before videos.

[@PinchnerHouse]

That would have made his complaint about the hatch getting dirty less effective.

[@Martin-xh1hd]

Why?

[@gutterguy720]

1st: If the water drains into the window switches, you're not going fast enough. 5th: Vacuum your car and wipe your shoes before entering. 7th: Was fixed in the MK6, when I believe they perfected the design overall. 8th: Was also fixed in the MK6 design. There are absolutely no things I hate about my GTI, except maybe the payment.

[@Sensekhmet]

5:16 "Is it broken?" "No, it's a diesel" XD

[@alanfinkeldey7484]

+Sensekhmet It did sound like a TDI and the plastic 'engine cover' marked FSI, TDI or TSI was also removed...

[@jordyvanroon3783]

The noise from the engine is the chain, the tensioner is worn. Get it replaced and it sounds quiet again. Thats probably also the reason the cam follower for the hpfp needs to be replaced so often. I replaced my cam follower while i changed my chain (160dkm) (100thousens Miles) and it looked brand spanking new.

[@lukasruznak9203]

Wouldnt rain guards fix that water issue?

[@robdog9265]

I know your GTI is long gone off this channel, but I purchased my MK5 GTI based off your videos! Thanks man

[@se4000]

I don't mind the engine tick noises, it's just the injectors. all the vw 4 cylinder turbos do it. I've noticed it on fiesta ST and such also

[@MechRider89]

I had a 2010 Golf TDI 4 door and I found the suspension rather adequate, it handle surprisingly well. I completely agree with the water on the roof problem, soon as its raining you couldn't even just crack the windows or you'd get water dripping on the door cards. I had my paint strip off at the same spot on the drivers door as you do, though it was weird, but I never had ice build up problems as my car was washed top to bottom, inside and out once a week.

[@RaleX89]

Hei guys. When winter comes, on those door corners take some silicone and sparay that area. I live in Norway(-40 C) and belive me it helps alot. Take care guys and have fun with your Golfs.

[@ErickMartinSucre]

Ticking noise happens too on the 2.5 model. I thought something was wrong with the engine but that's just how it is.

[@srenblackgaard9982]

I also have a 2008 United Grey 4 Door... and I'm on the internet and have opinions, so here we go. 1) YES. Also if cracking the window the slightest bit while driving and there is so much as mist in the air... 2) There was a TSB for that which added a chunk of foam to redirect the water. 3) Yes, by nature of physics - but at least you have the best color for it. 4) You have gone and reduced mechanical grip for looks. Maybe I'm not so apt to complain about the gap and ride because mine is a 2008, and slightly lower from the factory, but you have, IMO, ruined your ride quality, and in FACT reduced grip and the suspension's ability to cope with surfaces that are not a smooth race track (ie, roads, which have things like trees and buildings on either side). 5) Dude... clean it. Your complaint is the dirt you are bringing in to the car... Also, Monster Mats help. 6) Kind of a frivolous complaint... hell, I wish mine made me coffee. Also, the trunk plug is pretty awesome when you need to power a compressor or charge a jump-pack, isn't it? 7) Yeah it sucks - yours doesn't also come apart and time someone uses it like mine? 8) Agreed 9) You are hearing the injectors spitting bursts at ridiculous pressures - you made that worse with your HPFP 10) Yes, pain in the ass, but you made yours worse for what, 20 more hp? You could have just gone Stage II, but I'm also going to assume you are running catless. Also, this design changed halfway through 2008 with the TSI, which also got a timing chain instead of belt, and other improvements.

[@Benonbikes]

i actually really really like the black plastic!

[@FrostyCoug]

+AreYou Ben just don't get any wax on it

[@slecht]

+Ruben Hoffmann Maybe not for looks perse for many but I have damaged those plastic parts before but only scratches. If this wasn't plastic it wouldn't be just scratches, so it saved me money! So yea personally I rather have those parts in plastic. Btw over here we call it kunstof, not plastic but in English there isn't a word for it, it isn't just plastic really.

[@William9alex]

+Ruben Hoffmann Yeah me too. I'm not sure where this guy lives but where I live any metal there would be rusted within a few years. I'd rather have plastic rocker panels than rusted metal ones: they're a pain to fix, look like crap and then you can't even jack up your car using the stock scissor jack.

[@drgnzadiel101]

buy a hatch and complain its a hatch. shouldve got a gli lol. but i do hate the water dripping onto the switches. mine are buggy now because of it. i think door latches are a complaint for me as well

[@wakaflockaproject]

My golf didn't do that, but my audi does

[@IgnitionTube]

To everyone commenting negatively on this video: I love my GTI. The reason some of these complaints are so petty is because it is a CHALLENGE VIDEO. I had to come up with 10 things! Thanks for watching, and make sure to check out some of my other videos and subscribe!

[@eleonik76]

+IgnitionTube Who cares about your VW. No child grows up with a poster of VW on his bedroom wall.

[@eleonik76]

+Cody Kabler Take a fast look at my avatar. Does it look like i care about...Golfs? Came here,hoping to see a guy who intends of making a toilet out of it,but left disappointed.

[@eleonik76]

[@nothinglike1586]

Just sold mine with some heartache after ten great years driving it. My top ten would be almost identical, plus the issue with the rusting wings.

[@WasteGateWarriors]

Looks great Eli! Thanks for the love!

[@IgnitionTube]

+WasteGateWarriors You got it dude!

[@honestycounts9352]

There is a solution to the water from your roof dripping into the inside of your car: Take some self-stick edge molding strips and simply stick them to the A-pillar of the car, and continue them up and over the roof, to the rear of the car. This creates a RIB on each side of the car that will now stop water from coming into your car's window.

[@blah2115]

There's a reason to use a dedicated camera man. Framing a shot correctly is important...so is actually having the thing you're talking about appear in the shot.

[@ultrafloss492]

I loved my mk5 in sage green as well! Most of the issues brought up are valid. The ticking noise however shouldn't be there. I miss that car, it was such fun to drive.

[@scromtinker7421]

The injectors are normally pretty loud but your cam chain and tensioner probably needs to be replaced. They are on the opposite side of the timing belt behind the vacuum pump.

[@jose15238]

sock suspension is pretty good in terms of handling. you must have had something wrong in your gti

[@epic27]

I agree to most of your complaints about your MK5. I was fortunate enough to have a TSI mk5, so no cam follower failures for me. Just got a 2012 mk6 to replace my wrecked mk5; now I'm learning about things I hate about it. So far I'm hating the rough start issue most likely caused by fuel filter (just swapped tonight) or LPFP. Love/Hate relationship with these cars lol...

[@truelife13]

Totally agree about the door bend. Mine did that a few years ago, got it repaired under warranty, and they installed the foam door inserts. They do not work! Now that I am no longer under warranty I have to be very careful during the winter to check for any ice build up before opening my doors.

[@small_ed]

1. Oil leaks galore 2. Ignition key cylinder contact wear (eventually makes turning the key impossible) 3. More oil leaks 4. Intake manifold carbon build-up 5. More oil leaks 6. Unrepairable clutch flywheel (manual transmission) 7. More oil leaks 8. Sporadic weird electrical glitches 9. More oil leaks 10. Weird placement of toe hook 11. More oil leaks 12. No realistic storage space in front armrest

[@JD_JoyrideTV]

Awesome video bro...Looks like I need to get to work on my video.

[@IgnitionTube]

+JD JoyrideTV Thank you sir!! Looking forward to it!

[@krissheldon665]

+IgnitionTube hey the reason for the loud noise is that PCV revamp u have. you need to take the rear PCV hose off and knock out the diafram in it. the noise u mostly hear is coming from your intake.

[@djkenny1202]

I wish they would create a simple, light, less weighty, less luxury equipped model. MK2 Forever. Have not been inspired since the 92 GTI 16v. Power Window Switches SUCK. Seems like an expensive car for such a young kid. My 92 GTI ticks the same as that car. I think it is a GTI charm.

[@Jammymancan]

"This hatch is covered in dirt right now. because it's raining..." Okay.

[@ayanafletcher7897]

I can tell you don’t really hate your car at all. Because the things you are pointing out are like...really? I can tell you love it

[@bnj0828]

The ticking sound is a thing with all direct injection, direct spark engines. Its the noise from the injectors.

[@LastHumansGarage]

good review of the flaws in the GTI. My first 3 GTI's were MK5's.. my next 3 were MK6's.

[@WelterWeiqht]

I feel poor now

[@afti03]

it's great that you tell us these things, we non-owners could have never known until it was too damn late..

[@Quiz6556]

Thanks for giving us a heads up on those problems, its good to know what to look for in a MkV.

[@djpastika]

The ticking noise is laminated panel around the clutch, I got a replacement from the original VW dealership on waranty. They have also changed the transmission completely. Happened in 25k km. FOR FREE

[@IgnitionTube]

+djpastika Nope. It's the direct injection.

[@royalcanadiensnowboarder9266]

Ever look into VW rust and corrosion warranty? I have a 2008 mkv gti with rust at the bottom of the driver door and i should be getting it replaced and i know several other volkswagon owners who have gotten paint work done for free, apply online and get an appointment at your local dealer! Its a 12 year warranty on all vw's sold!

[@namewithheld7835]

1. water is wet, 3. Dirt is dirty 5. Dirt is dirty 9. Metal wears down. 10. Metal wears down

[@plac_holder]

Cold Wedder.

[@hiyoutube8013]

wow!! most similar videos have someone complaining about non sense but you actually had a lot of good points especially for someone who is looking to get one. good job

[@meloche1syndrome]

I had an 06 passat. Same complaint about the fsi motor.had many questions like "is that a diesel?" Same complaint with the drainage from the roof. Tons of water would run right down right into my car. The trunk would get nasty dirty too, like the rear of your car. My mk4 gti does the same and my mk6 jetta too.

[@Rockport1911]

That bent door looks awful, but you first notice the ice behind that area when its already too late and you opened your door in icy weather :( VW put some sponges behind the fender for cars that get delivered to very cold regions, that should collect the water...

[@raffikki1996]

the thing about rain leaking on the window controls is so true, I used to have a mk5 and its controls broke in the middle of the summer because of water damage, i now own a mk 6 and it still has the same design flaw

[@raffikki1996]

+Raf Vermyle the thing i hated the most though was how cheap the interior materials were in the mk 5 i cleaned my dash with a wet wipe once and it scratched up everything just from rubbing it

[@WelterWeiqht]

Also I hate how the alarm system automatically resets itself if you press the key fob and don't open the door "in time" which is only like 30 seconds.

[@X11CHASE]

Your 12 volt complaint was bullshit, majority of cars of all varieties I've sat in have a twelve volt in the center somewhere, usually 1 but more likely to fine more these days as you alluded to And, I've never seen one in the glovebox... I've seen usb and or aux inputs in glove boxes but never a 12 v outlet

[@dickard8275]

+Joey Arthur Zooberry Not enough things wrong with the car... haha

[@X11CHASE]

Richard Fergusson Oh no there are plenty. My friend with a same gen gti always tells me about some new problem on his

[@smgs921]

+Joey Arthur Zooberry tell him to stop taking it to random shops then and pick an independent VW shop. I've yet to have any problems with mine after 136k but i also won't let just anyone work on it. Regular mechanics are horrible with VW they don't know anything besides the most basic engine designs on japanese and american cars.

[@IgnitionTube]

+Joey Arthur Zooberry I don't have more than 2. I've owned the car for 3 years, one isn't just going to magically appear. BMW's have the 12v in the glovebox.

[@Scrimmer08]

What about the carbon build up on the intake valves, necessitating a $500+ cleaning for which the intake manifold must be removed? The symptom is usually a CEL, and P0302 code [cylinder misfire] etc. when read w/OBDII scanner. One other annoying thing is the hood liner is falling off on mine, just like yours I see. Other than that, I love the car, a red 2010 6-speed.

[@IgnitionTube]

Already did carbon buildup :) mine was never awful, just had it done as preventative work. And if you know the right people you can get it done with walnut shell blasting for less than 500 ;)

[@CatonsvilleCentralRwy]

Dude, any car with direct injection will have ticking

[@hughmclovin5376]

Yeah it usually goes away after you replace the injectors tho. Mines got awfully quiet after I replaced them

[@fadielhakim1155]

Just a quick note on the car.. I myself have an MK5 and face some of the problems but not all. You're right when you mentioned the water dripping from the roof but as for most of the other problems, they are minor... The fenders I painted them and it looks great. I agree that it won't cost the company much to do that but the extra cash you'd pay, you can pay it yourself. The reason why all the clicking noises come out from the engine is because it has a timing belt. They fixed that in the newer models... 2008-2009 I've never had any problems with the frozen ice, but I don't live in a place where it gets cold enough for water to freeze. My car has 216,000 Km on it and is working perfectly fine. (Also my mechanic is one of the top mechanics in the country so I have no complaints on engine parts except maybe just one. This has to do with the fact that the car is American and we can't find the part. Even though was promised one soon) PLUS I KEPT IT STOCK AND DON'T PLAN ON TOUCHING THE ENGINE Suspensions are good but down the line it's a taste even though I'd like to lower it The dirt... COME ON THAT'S NOT EVEN SOMETHING TO MENTION

[@AlejandroBelloRD]

1, 2, 3 so far like's the Milly Vanilly song: "Blame It On The Rain". # And your lack of cleaning your gutters. Yeaah, yeah! # 7: Yeah. Waiting for better rear cup holders since forever. Nailed that one. 8: You just said it: The R32 has it, and that's why they charge more for it. Why buy the steak when the cheaper burger "should" throw a complimentary free steak with fries and dessert? 10: What did you expect? You upgraded the fuel pump and now expect stock parts to keep up with warranty-voiding higer fuel pressures?

[@sebastien5461]

And the most important thing is that:"your parents buy wrong car"

His parents? I know this is a 4yo comment but its just ridiculous. A golf gti is a cheap car lol. His parents probably didnt buy him this cheap ass golf lol. You talking like he drives a merc or something😂

[@sebastien5461]

L. S. 😂😂😂😂

[@Funbgs2]

thats ticking are your fuel injectors. It wouldn't be so loud if you didn't take off the cover for the engine

[@TheForafriend]

Totally with you on numbers 1 and 3

[@MassiveLoop]

Love my GTI, it's a mk6 though. I can say that all except the water in the water splash through the window and normal 4cyl engine injector ticking are all resolved.

[@VMPhilosophy]

There was an Audi Cam Follow IIRC that would alleviate the stock cam follower issue on the MK5.

[@barreto6695]

Can relate to all of them except the cam follower. I have a TSI motor but I have to worry about the time chain tensioner to worry about.

[@cesarki1108]

literally my window switches on my 2012 beetle fucked up from water falling from the roof so i definitely agree with that!

[@GoncaloPereirachekichinka]

Its impossible to hate a thing about golf gti

[@Kurosaki990Ichigo]

The 8th thing with the unpainted plastics, i think they are left this way to resemble the original 80s MkI GTi.

[@chillrasta12]

I guess you haven't had to clean the carbon off the intake valves yet, that would be #11 lol. The ticking when it runs is just the high pressure direct injection. If you notice, it kind of sounds like a diesel at idle since the 2 engines use similar injection methods.

[@IgnitionTube]

+MarkG Already did the carbon cleaning :)

[@niyaazisaacs1990]

Ag don't stress about the negativity! I enjoyed it.

[@kittyhawk501]

I freaked out at the second reason because I just got inside after fixing my bit of rust at the same spot! And here I was thinking I was the only one who had that rust

[@IgnitionTube]

+Hudson Kraft It's common on Mk4 and Mk5's in cold climates

[@Stretch_Buckets]

This is spot on 😂😂 i have the same car and have a lot of the same complaints 😭

[@klavier285]

Yeah, the wheel gap on the US mkv was unreal. First thing I did was lower it. I think I remember I could fit all 5 fingers in the space when it was stock.

[@whatsforsupa]

Two thumbs up on the cam follower! I also have an FSI Gti.

[@jasonhuffine1878]

I keep losing boost intermittently and it's spontaneous. Generally coming out of a turn I will lose boost (from 12psi to about 3psi). Then after driving a bit it will kick back in to normal psi. Strange

[@barreto6695]

I also have a whistle coming from my driver side whenever I drive on the highway. Drives me nuts

[@alexbrogan4698]

that ticking is your fuel injectors. any engine with direct injection does that.

[@travywan]

HI! Perhaps you should check the euro spec cars as they are quite a bit different. Defiantly the bottom of the the doors dont rust but also your engine clicking noise is way louder than mine which is a euro spec. You may want to check the intake manifolds and pcv valve as they prone to leak.

[@RMazdaGT]

if your car is within 12 years I'm pretty sure VW covers all rust bumper to bumper?

[@WelterWeiqht]

I believe that is accurate

[@jessieshand4287]

I can vouch for this I was a salesman at Volkswagen but I don't know for the specific 2008 year

[@MrTheHillfolk]

Haha they "fixed" rust twice on my dads mk4 All they did was sand it down and respray. It was around the rear hatch window, and it was obvious they didn't even pull the window.

[@SamDVideo]

Haha, the water thing happens in my Foxbody all the time, except it drips onto your shoulder or leg, which is even more annoying. The wheel gap as well, I can fit my fist in the wheel gap comfortably. lmao.

[@IgnitionTube]

+Sam D Video At least you can dry a shoulder or a leg! The window switches don't play too nicely with water lol.

[@SamDVideo]

Oh yeah that's right, I can see how that would cause problems. Haha

[@dickard8275]

+IgnitionTube Yup I had water drip down into my door and short circuit the Locking Mechanism!

[@panchozapryanov8300]

I could add that I hate driving my golf GTI in rain or snow. If you live in rainy place you have to switch on golf R - 4 wheel drive system. In snowy days it is hard for me to get it out of the parking, especially it is hard to depart with so light an powerful car like the GTI.

[@IgnitionTube]

+pancho zapryanov I have winter tires, they're great in the winter! Haven't gotten stuck yet

[@panchozapryanov7117]

[@Ub3rNo0ber]

"Next thing I hat about my car --- it's a hatch.." Ok.. don't buy a fucking hatchback then...??? You can get virtually the same car in a sedan. It's called a Jetta..

[@TheZsolt43]

ok so the ticking noises (some of them ) are due to wear... first swap out your evap solenoid for a new one(quick fix and cheap) second the chain between the 2 camshafts needs to be replaced most of the time (when the engine is sounding like a diesel), third the injectors tick but i dont know if fitting new ones clears that out .... aaand thats most of the ticking resolved! oh and i hope you cleaned your valves and injectors at 150k cause they get messy after 80k(dealer stated interval for cleaning them)

[@jasonhuffine1878]

right on point man! ! Great video

[@gregorynachor4743]

With upgrades come problems. I have a mkv gti. Changed my cam follower at 120,000 miles. Old one still looked new.

[@KoenGriess]

If you get the 2009 mk5, you get the tsi engine instead of the fsi. Fun fact.

[@junhochen6263]

I hate the water drain from the roof into the cabin too. That is not fun at all. Every time I roll down the window after raining, freaking water just drain onto the window switch. Damn it Volkswagen.

[@R0bstez]

Body rol is thru worn out shocks. It's a maintanence thing, not a thing you can hate

[@th33b33]

just changed my hpfp, cam, cuz the cam follower wore out at 130k on my 06 a3...replaced it and the timing chain tensioner and chain. it doesn't click and make a weird diesel noise anymore.

[@gabojm]

real things you should hate in a gti: turning circle is worst than lot of suvs, or stability control kills engine as you approaching to a curve on high speed, again, a suv like the outlander with super awc, will have better feeling and handling with more speed when taking a curve, the gti is a "sport" car for straight line acceleration, only. Same applies for golf R.

[@403patriot3]

yeah...my first car was a jetta. i had no idea how much i was spending on repairs until i got a honda. no shit, the honda costs 1/3 as much for replacement parts compared to VW and it gives way, way less issues in the long run. (except my mum's '89 jetta heidelberg edition THAT was a solid car one of the best my family ever had) but i REALLY wanted a jetta for my first...i'm glad i learned that lesson early, but i still have love for the '86-'92 era VW's they don't make 'em like that anymore

[@nagyfagyotthal57]

Thanks. This was an informative video, im looking after a GTI now. I suspect that the underpart of the rear bumper hasnt been painted because of rock chips or any other damages. Just basic VW thing :)

[@conorwainer9272]

I think when you got yours your anti-roll bars must've been stuffed, have 0 complaints about my suspension or 'wheel gap', if anything the ride can be harsh over speed humps and pot holes (a bit crashy).

[@caolan_0284]

if you want to stop rain going in buy wind deflectors
