Airllen 5G Digital Air Ride Management -1983 Mk1 Golf GTI Restoration 1.8 20v t Engine Swap Bagging

In this episode we ditch the manual air ride management and install a digital Airllen 5G Kit, This has all presets so you press a button and the car sits where you want it. As ever, a simple job turns into a headache 🤦‍♂️

Feel a bit lost now, after powering through that all in a few days. I should really learn to space my watching 😂😂😂

[@DanChambersDAC]

😂 thank you for watching the series bud! A few other projects on here to watch 👊

[@jeremycwood79]

I’m running the Airllen management on my T6.1, really happy with it.

[@Gravity-campers]

How much was the management kit if you don't mind me asking?

[@jeremycwood79]

@@Gravity-campers I’m in Sydney, got the whole system fitted with bags, compressors, struts, tank etc at KS Racing. They’ve done loads of them here in Sydney. Whole lot was $8k AUD

[@initialspeed]

Nicely done. She is looking good. Thanks for the video.

[@DanChambersDAC]

Thank you

[@h12st_d63]

Nice little bit of kit! About time we started seeing some more affordable air ride, finishes off the Golf nicely tho pal 🤙🏻

[@DanChambersDAC]

Thank you bud. 100% there is a market for a cheaper management system

[@hrscott1]

Great work on the MK1 Dan👌🏻, I also follow the house build… mainly to see the workshop build one day😃

[@DanChambersDAC]

Thank you for following both! Hopefully we can make a start on the workshop in the next couple of months 🤞

[@danielcook1989]

Seems a good bit of kit although I could hear how much grief that install have you 😂 great job on the mk1 bud looking forward to the new project 👍

[@DanChambersDAC]

It is a decent bit of kit. It did put up a bit of a fight but if we had the instructions it would have been very very simple.

[@brendonlategan9080]

Looks great. If you C notch the front you would get more lows in the from end

[@ger_rocco]

And to make sure that you don’t hit the driveshaft

[@brendonlategan9080]

@@ger_rocco correct because at the moment the chassis is resting on the drive shaft

[@DanChambersDAC]

Chassis was notched before the car was painted. Driveshaft is nowhere near the body. The struts are bottoming out.

[@stuartthomas3389]

That is one sweet ride you have there Dan, well done on your efforts.

[@DanChambersDAC]

Thank you!

[@dibxxx]

Hey mate how does it ride with the bags conversion on BC coils? Does it still feel like a coilover stiffness wise and ride good? Would u say the compression is the same or better

[@FreakyNinjaNL]

Hi Dan! I have a question. I am looking for new coilovers for my mk1 golf. My question is what series are the bc coilovers that you used? And how did they ride before the airride conversion. Not too stiff? Thanks!

[@DanChambersDAC]

Im not too sure on series as I bought them second hand. They were pretty stiff before I converted to air ride

[@badger7769]

Every time I watch your channel You remind me and look like @collin furze

[@DanChambersDAC]

😂 I have had that a few times. Maybe we should do a collab 🤔

[@itstomsgarage]

Hello mate. Love the build. I'm looking to do air on my polo mk2 breadvan. I wondered if I could ask a question. All the management kits ive looked at include adapters for blade fuses in to the fuse box but I'm on old torpedo type fuses. Have you had to deal with this with your MK1? Everything else I can understand but this has got me scratching my head!

[@DanChambersDAC]

Hi bud, the Mk1 uses blade fuses, I just took a new wire from the back of the fusebox and ran it to the management. You could just run a new power feed from the battery or fusebox and fit an inline fuse.

[@itstomsgarage]

@@DanChambersDAC Hey man thanks a lot for the reply. Really appreciate that. The inline fuse seems like it will be be best/cleanest idea. I've got the stuff ordered now just waiting very impatiently for it to arrive haha

[@vwmk1tips]

Is your VW GTI color mars red?

[@DKaraffa]

Hopefully the “other” car is a MK1 Scirocco!!

[@ranazeeshan8416]

[@dujalowlife]

tires size… 165/40 R16?

[@DanChambersDAC]
