2018 VW Golf 7 Facelift 1.4 TSI (125 HP) TEST DRIVE

[@NippyMoto]

Australia: Anything over 100 is too dangerous! Germany: What the fuel economy of the car is at 180kph is a deciding factor for us.

[@JakeBlackHawk]

I have this 1.4 TSI 122 HP in my VW Golf 6 2011 and I have to say I had no issues with it. It was pretty reliable. Nice video!

[@madisjaagura]

VladJoachim golf 6 and 7 1.4TSI engines are completely different

[@JakeBlackHawk]

In which way?

[@madisjaagura]

VladJoachim ea111 vs ea211. It was complete redesign. Timing chain -> belt, etc.

[@SebastianFehlach]

VladJoachim new engine and control system.

[@JakeBlackHawk]

Glad to hear that :D

[@this-is-bioman]

This is a really great video! Excelent quality and a very nice presentation/test drive.

[@miklosszenasi2033]

A good, informative video. I can finally see the rpm-s and consumption at different speeds which I always wanted to know. I now have a VW Jetta 1.6 TDI but I drive too much in heavy city traffic which is not good for diesel engines. I am planning to buy a VW like this next year. The only thing I was missing was the consumption in slow city traffic :). The Jetta 1.6 TDI (2013 model) is not good at this, it can vary from 7-11 L/100km depending on how slow the traffic is and how long you have to stay in it.

[@TESTDRIVEFREAK]

Yes thats why i dont do city fuel consumption test, bcs every city is different, long road then redlight, or many redlight, some city has lots roundabouts, some city is very steep with lots hills,etc

[@miklosszenasi2033]

@@TESTDRIVEFREAK Yes, I know it is not easy to measure the consumption in slow city traffic

[@supermixmusicinternational6038]

Wow!!!!!! I love you volkswagen

[@robertosoto1019]

really nice video info, good job

[@miklosszenasi2033]

Will you test the Honda Civic 1.0?

[@timiracko6317]

Great car only thing that bugs me it the strange chattering noise from 1500 to 2500 rpm. Probably clutch related or an enginering fault, all the ea211 1.4 engines do it seems like this one is no different

[@Take2Hodgie]

Those headlights look nice and bright, are they stock? Or aftermarket whiter halogen bulbs?

[@TESTDRIVEFREAK]

Everything in video is stock 😊

[@dalpet3643]

Which trim level is this ?

[@petepector]

How does the 1.4 Tsi 125hp 200nm compare to the 1.0 Tsi 116hp 200nm? I've heard a couple of times that they, except for refinement, feel very similar as far as power is concerned. Would you agree?

[@vlatkomafija]

1.4 tsi has the same torque earlier and for longer - 1400 to 4000rpm where the 1.0 tsi is from 2000 to 3500rpm so that is a total difference of 1100rpm

[@vwgolf7421]

After 5000km and 8 month old, my engine (1.4 TSI 122bhp ) started to give random shocks when running idle. Misfires. My belgian VW dealer/importer doesn't consider this to be a problem. Dr Google on the other hand says that you should eliminate these misfires because they can cause engine damage on the long run. So I ask the importer if they could confirm that the misfire they detected wouldt'n cause any damage on the long run. I got the following answer ( literal translation, I kid you not ) : "we see no harm in the phenomenon that you perceive". I find this a strange answer. Because they don't dare to use the words "no harm" and "misfires" in on sentence, I have to belief the opposite. Am I wrong to do so? Maybe the crowd can shed some light on this matter. Feel free to answer or launch a survey.

[@fireblade8905]

So what happened?

ok and what happend ?

Dsg apparently a little bit quicker than the manual..

[@Mathri94]

The DSG will asways shift faster than the driver will be able to.

[@philiptownsend4026]

DSG autobox is faster, more frugal, better than any human driver. Just remember to change the oil - very important.

[@mark-1rc502]

Seems a little laggy

[@eduardseiler7862]

Looks like the new Polo, but with more KW xD

[@florianschmid595]

Eduard Seiler the new polo looks like the golf with less kw

[@viktorcsanyi726]

Eduard Seiler From what angle? The old Polo has some common things with the Golf, but the new Polo is the new design language that is coming for the Golf in the 8th generation soon.

[@tonioux92]

I cerchi sono veramente ridicoli!!

[@bbrummi4999]

In The Facelift is no 1.4 tsi Engine only the New 1.5!tsi Engine!

[@TESTDRIVEFREAK]

Facelift is since 2017, and this engine was built until 03/2018, check it out in google or wikipedia engine list with detailed date etc..

[@TESTDRIVEFREAK]

And the car document shown detailed information with ccm, kw etc, its says really 1.4 there

[@bbrummi4999]

TEST DRIVE FREAK the 1.5 was Built since 03/17 but the 1.4 with 125 hp was Used until 03/18 so i am wrong there Can be a 1.4 in Facelift

[@TESTDRIVEFREAK]

Yes true there was 1.5 and 1.4 tsi engine same time sale 2017 and 2018

[@emc6485]

Good Review , Terrible state of the car , all that dust inside the car on the carpet and between the engine , come on man its a golf 7 2018 not a golf 3 that you are leaving this beautifull car dirty ass hell 🤦‍♂️

[@nemanjalukic4493]

Poor engine, has oil consupcion, 1 liter on 2000 km

[@Mr11ESSE111]

to much fuel consumption at 180km/h and at 200km/h probably around 20+ L!!! basically this golf consume more fuel then 3 liter BMW 5 with 326hp at higher speeds

[@Jan-wp3ic]

Mr11ESSE111 what for a bullshit

[@Mr11ESSE111]

Jan-Malte Hinzmann you came from cave yesterday

[@vlatkomafija]

8.5l at 180km/h is too much consumption? wtf man :D

[@Mr11ESSE111]

no its not 8,5liter at 180 then 8,5liter average !! at 180km/h are more likelly 18+ liter

[@vlatkomafija]

look at the video, or ask someone else to read numbers for you if you are unable. at 180km/h max consumption was 10 liters. the screen was showing instant consumption not average.

[@TheDebilu]

1.4...nahhhh

[@gigiilmilionario2]

Is this this the famous problematic 1.4 tsi vw ?

[@vlatkomafija]

no, this one has nothing to do with the famous problematic. different turbo, engine block, timing belt not chain, injectors etc.

[@savvasneophytou5664]

Which model year is the problematic 1.4 engine?

[@lorik1888]

@@savvasneophytou5664 the problematic one is the 1.4 twincharged engine in golf mk6's especially the 2010-2012 ones

Cambia mestiere

[@Mr11ESSE111]

overpriced junk of small car with huge fuel consumption and relative weak engine !!! Mazda 6 /3 /cx 5 have lower consumption with stronger engines (2.o 165hp) !! 1.0 tsi just like 1,4/1,5 tsi are very bad engines for driving fast on autobahn because of enormous fuel consumption

[@segoiii]

no. 1.0 TSI consumption is great. Even when going fast on Autobahn.

[@viktorcsanyi726]

I never saw a bigger number than 10 liters on my 110hp 1.2TSI but the average tend to be below 6,5 liters at 130kmh with AC on in summertime and seat heating on in wintertime. In the city I often go below 5 liters (my last full tank was nearly 1100 km, aka 4,9L avg) in a 5°C february time!

[@fy6633]

Mazda are shit cars lmfao they don’t past 130km/h if you go full throttle on 6th gear you don’t gain speed in mazda cx5 and downhill from a mazda cx5 i got max 148km/h thats all ;) vw wins tbh

[@fy6633]

And mazda cx5 2.0lt 165hp are uphills pain in the ass i once needed to downshift to 1st gear can you imagine that the mazda isn’t going even a semi truck was going faster uphill lmfao i will never drive a mazda
