7 Things To Look For BEFORE Buying An MK7 VW!

[@ashokhargovan9603]

You also want to look for aftermarket mods like a CTS intake. Car was most likely driven hard.

[@doogeerugged89]

Sooooo the real question would be. What are the MOST commen issues with this car. As a technician for GM and Honda I can mouth off the most commen issues , what to expect and at what mileage these issues commonly happen

[@jamesgroome591]

Water pump, water pump, water pump

[@TheMak1985]

You forget to advise on the common speaker seal leak and boot leak, both can be easily fixed re-sealing. Put water down the window on a flat surface and if water is on inside of door, get it fixed!

[@e46Kyle]

Really helpful info for a first-time MK7 buyer! What springs are you running? Ride height looks great; not too low. 👍🏻

[@juanleon3200]

Absolute perfect matching first off. Secondly so many people raise these cars incorrectly. Make the rockers all wavy and bent up. Quotes from body shops are $500 or more to fix

[@DArias]

Lol thanks! And yes expensive to fix for sure

[@UltimaWeaponz]

This is the best MK7 buyers guide ive seen. Thanks! :)

[@ericrivera8217]

Thank you!

This video is basically telling those people don’t buy GTI

[@dramchaser1022]

The problems mine has had so far are a bad fuel injector, the ladder frame (valve cover) gasket was leaking oil, upper and lower cam covers gaskets leaking oil.

[@Knighttus]

Damn i thought they were reliable

[@vlone_j4613]

how many miles does your mk7 have ?

@@dramchaser1022 geez... thats terrible.

[@S0G_Jai]

Would you recommend buying then? Cause I was about to buy a 53k mileage one.

[@janiskc]

Super good video! I appreciate your attention to detail

[@DArias]

Thank you!

[@cars291]

Great input - Thanks. The recording of your voice isn’t the easiest to understand- please consider dropping the repetitive music next time. That gets very annoying when trying to understand all you are saying.

[@dallasmitchell3878]

Awesome info in this video. Good buyers guide

[@DArias]

Anytime! Thanks for watching!

2nd gear is kinda fucked in mine. Whoever had it last (pretty sure it was 1 owner) abused it, slammed it, and it does not agree with the roads where i live. I need a new 2nd gear for sure, so light tranny rebuild, to RAISE the car, a new front bumper, splitter, maybe some real carbon canards indtead of the foam ones that were on it 💀, and a new oil sensor. Not the pressure sensor, the level and heat sensor. Bottoming out smacked it. Thankfully the ebay parts i see are $30 and not the oem $300. I'm told it's an easy replacement.

[@vazquezv02]

Thank you for this!!! Super helpful when shopping around

[@andrewmiller1751]

The sunroofs in the Volkswagens love to clog and leak it’s so annoying

[@DArias]

The worst. Had the issue with my wagon right before selling it

[@anthonydelk556]

What clutch do you recommend for a high mileage car or if you were to tune it?

[@DArias]

So for stock or even stage 1 power some oem plus feel like a sachs stage 2 would do fantastic. Anything more going to a stage 2 e30 and beyond a southbend stage 3 clutch seems to be the most popular and best choice for the platform

[@raywood7092]

Good informative video but that music is really annoying.

[@d.d3718]

Hello, good luck for your channel, from your experience, I can ask you something, I have a golf 7 2.0 tdi and my car, when it is in low rpm, feels a vibration like a tunnel or like a subwoofer, what do you think is something that I can fix? that doesn't make me feel comfortable

[@DerrickOil]

Actually informative.

[@beno.verbich8215]

Do you drive with the roof box on all the time?

[@DArias]

I do as I have to store A lot of stuff there due to lack of space

[@The1Real1Cheese]

​@@DAriasi should get one and stickerbomb, then coat it. 👌

[@HandsomeTroll]

Very informative video! thank you!

[@DArias]

Great to hear!

[@rabbitss11]

Is the VW Golf R on sale in the US?

[@DArias]

Yes it is!

What is considered high mileage for a mk7

[@liamneilson7521]

thanks for the tips…

[@yodo5701]

Thanks!

[@DArias]

Anytime!

[@davidk5093]

I heard never get a sun sunroof on a Volkswagen because it can be a super expensive nightmare

[@yangaroo0]

it's the same for every car not just volkswagen, always a risk

[@STRANGE_hour]

bros advice is “the car should be new” lol

[@DArias]

True

[@davidk5093]

I wish I could get one with like 20,000 mi with those are super expensive way overpriced

[@peterkelly5672]

Hey dude what kinda drugs you taking you talking far to fast 😂😂

[@ilikebacon.6483]

lol automatic

[@stefan2796]

Don't buy a car with a DSG transmission! When they break it costs a fortune to have it repaired!

[@DArias]

Tbh they aren’t really prone to failures like that. Most times it’s people not maintaining them correctly. I love it in my s3!

[@johnrobbo69]

I’d be more worried about the dickhead after market air filter!

[@ivanivanov-pf5sv]

😂

[@bh2155]

The best thing to do is just dont buy one

[@DArias]

So true

[@simplybuilt5928]

Next time fix your voice before you start recording a video… so inconsiderate

[@DArias]

I’m the worst bro ugh
