16:55 - lmao... in east europe ull find ur car on bricks in the morning if u dont have wheel locks

[@NyksWyldMynd]

The Scotty Kilmer comment killed me. So accurate! Lol

[@BrakRulesAll]

I just watched Scotty claim that the Audi 2.0 from a '15 A5 (in other words another EA888 variant) was "the worst engine they ever made." Yeah right Scotty. Dude has a billion subscribers because of clickbait titles and crap like that.

[@l33tnobody1337]

@@BrakRulesAll I thought the guy was a meme. Didn't expect anyone to actually listen to the bs he spews seriously

[@r65-h4g]

scotty is trash but they are a shit engine though

[@l33tnobody1337]

@@r65-h4g I think they're a lot better than the rep they get. Gen 1 and 2 have problems but Gen 3 and 4 are perfectly fine if you treat them right. Also they made A LOT of them over the years in different variations in pretty much every car the VW AG made in the past 17 or so years when they came out, so even if you see a lot of them broken online there are millions more out and about with no or barely any issues.

[@swankestmule]

Charles pulled one on his recent video too, haha

[@dorkultra]

imagine selling your car to paul, only to get every single mistake pointed out to the internet audience lol

[@snailedEJ1]

"Old cigarette butts....from Scotty Kilmer..." freaking gold! 😆

[@jeffreymoore4132]

Paul's non-ending positivity is the best part of these vids, and the reason I keep coming back for more.

[@sgoel01]

It’s definitely worth the Paul install option

[@2stroke438]

As a former detailer, that short dog hair was the fucking bane of my existence.

[@WHJeffB]

Not a fan either... When I first started dating my wife, she had a Dalmatian and the inside of her Acura Integra was actually worse than this GTI. Had pretty good luck with a stiff brush attachment for my shop vacuum. Better than using the nozzle or hose end at least.

[@Onewheelordeal]

They make these big like soap stones called like a 'Fur-zoff'. I bought a car that looked like this and it brought it right up off everything with a vacuum

[@AndrewDRoyappa]

That's what the tornador is for. Best detailing tool I ever used

[@phil6012]

Paul's rants alone are reason enough for a thumbs up.

[@rkan2]

I love passionate ranting, one of my favorite types of videos on KZbin apart from cat videos of course. 😂

[@Mr.bartz84]

Yay a full length video from Pauly d!!!

[@Deutscheautoparts]

Thanks for the love I really appreciate it

[@Mr.bartz84]

@Deutscheautoparts goes both ways, you and Charles hold up us vag lovers. I know the time and effort these in depth videos take and we love and appreciate them.

[@wsDiA_vd]

Scotty about to post 30 videos on why you give the worst advice ever. Love the content, super nice to watch on a sunday!!

[@StaticVapour590]

I have noticed that you discontinued the "Paul install option" :D

[@guilhermesoares861]

Did my second engine swap (2013 VW CC VR6 4MOTION). Thanks to you and Charles!!

[@everardogonzalez-kb1ng]

Just saw a clip of Scotty giving a rare thumbs up on the new 2024 Volkswagen GLI.

[@Deutscheautoparts]

AI generated for sure

[@alanperry8676]

Last December I was doing course check in my Mk7 GTI for a stage rally at a ski resort in BC. The snow was lower than usual and I discovered a some large concrete thing under the snow. It was an inch or so higher than the bottom of the car. The front bumper did a big ripple that broke most of the plastic bits under the bumper cover. It also pushed the core support up and destroyed it bottom half but not before it broke a lug off of the end of the intercooler. I watched Paul's old intercooler video many times to figure out how things went together to repair things. A few years ago, a guy doing a GTD conversion on a Mk7 TDI gave me the TDI bumper cover so I installed that on my GTI while I repair the GTI bumper. Then I realized that the ramp angle on the TDI bumper cover is better for the gravel road driving that I do, so I left it on the car. I have all of the parts but I still haven't repaired the GTI bumper.

[@overmonk]

Hah. I saw that donor motor when I picked up my clubsport muffler.

[@Deutscheautoparts]

Thanks for the purchase. I appreciate the support very much.

[@klhuffman2285]

I just blught a 2015 gti with a decent amount of km on it. The interior is absolutely immaculate, the exterior has paint bubble around the door handles and 3 of 4 fenders... Not super worried ill get the paint taken care of. Car runs and drives amazing, I've been watching all your gti videos lol

[@vaughan2203]

Thanks for the time, effort and money that go into these videos, Paul. It's just mind-blowing to see how someone has mistreated their major expense as you pull it apart for us to see. The level of "onion" (as in: layers) of neglect on that GTI was pitiful. I can only imagine the inside of their house. 🤮

[@bjsmithart]

This makes me so sad seeing that car in such rough condition. I traded my MKVI 5 years ago and it was pristine after 8 years. I miss it.

[@rambow70]

I'm liking how this car is turning out! The GTD grill works perfect for this paint color.

[@billynguyen710]

Shout out to you guys for bringing this Mk7 back from the dead! Looking forward to this build.

[@MauriceEllerbee]

I’m actually happy you guys posted this because I gotta replace the core support on my 6.5 Jetta🤣spent thousands in mods and the core support is held up by two heavy duty zip ties on the passenger side because it’s broken in half.

[@jsr3793]

I really, really, really, REALLY need to stop watching these videos. You and the Humble mechanic keep making me want to buy a cheap VW and fix it up like a hero (chump). Also a lot of those plastic pipes for the turbo system are made in Charlotte NC near the Steel Creek area.

[@aroundomaha]

Mk 7 is a sweet spot for value. Love this series. The interior of this car looks like a yeti drove it lol.

[@sixpots]

5:07 "it is slightly bent; as long as it's not leaking it's fine" thanks, Dr P

[@andrewg2322]

17:15 props to the alignment guy damn

[@sheldoncastro95]

Hey Paul can you do a deep dive into internal engine oil leaks? I know the Valve guide seals are a common leak point and I’m wondering what goes into this repair and what the other causes of oil burning on startup could be. Love the videos!

[@baconmcbacon62]

Those new wheels and grill do be looking fantastic. New hotness indeed. I'd love to see a GTD build if you ever got the gumption.

[@petercantremember253]

GTD badge - so what happens when someone fills it with diesel - another video lol...luv ya work Paul

[@Dont-come-at-me-24]

No possible to fit a diesel pump in a petrol filter neck it’s too large. Unless the last owner removed the restrictor

[@rossbowman202]

Happy Father's Day Paul and DAP family. The car is coming along nicely.

[@street_wise_gamgee]

first mod for a vw any vw ever wheel stud conversion get rid of the goofy lug bolts. best mod i ever did to my mk4

[@noelodb]

Paul is me every time I work on my GLI I laugh at the pain I have to go through 😭😂

[@jg2382]

Yes! Grateful for these videos! Love Paul on camera

[@themachine8009]

I was thrilled when u mentioned Scotty 😂😂😂.

And if the fog lights don't work, you got yourself a DIY Clubsport build!

Salvage yard back seat coming this car's way? I like how Paul spares no expense to repair this GTI using whatever parts are lying around -- returned GTD grille sure, Atlas wheels sure. 😎

[@andrewg2322]

Display engine is the shop MVP 🎉😂

[@Moonplant432]

Good thing you have a warehouse full of parts!

[@UhOhUmm]

If there is one good thing about Volkswagen is that you are never short of spare parts. Even buying them straight from VW is not insanely expensive.

[@Moonplant432]

​@@UhOhUmm I agree. My Golfs and Passats have been very reasonable to maintain. My A6? Glad it's a CPO!

[@DeanandLisa1803]

We have the OSIR front mask to APR intake on our MK6 GTD stage 2. Sounds great 👍

[@ObsidianB8]

loving this build, gunna need more of this paul, also love the atlas wheel trick for vw, if i get my wife a vw this fall ima have to do that, if i can fit them of course

Possibly a hit and run perp that did a backyard cosmetic fix to cover tracks.

A new Paul video , loving it ! My GTI is actually worse than this in the front end plastic busted mess it is , also says gt and no emblem (my son was messing with it and ripped it off 😭.Soon to be sold cheap to whatever VW fanboy wants a project lol

I love watching Paul’s total train wreck videos, cuz it’s brings me comfort in knowing a professional is as jank as I am when working on VW’s 😂

[@Hawk7886]

Damn Paul, the "no glove, no love" campaign was definitely not about pregnancy and was 100% about preventing disease. When I was growing up, goth girls smoked cloves. I also unironically enjoyed them.

Nice. Standing by for next MK7 vid

Can you do a video on the MK7 gti sunroof issues?! I have this really annoying creaking sound coming from my sunroof anytime it’s cold out and not sure how to resolve the issue, not sure if this is an issue on this mk7

Great work. Did you also clean the sunroof drainage pipes?

[@grippgoat]

Was that just compressed air and some kind of diffuser nozzle to dislodge the pet hair from the seats and carpet?

[@Rockport1911]

The previous owner didnt loce the GTI that much, but he sure loves his dog. You could build a whole new dog with that amount of hair :)

[@mmccorm11]

Hey Paul, whats the part number for the GTD grill? I have a 2015 MK 7 Golf TDI that it would look good on..

Golf R brakes, GTD grill and atlas wheels is hilarious.

[@cruisey9857]

Can we get some details on that dog hair removal process? Cuz I’m in this boat and it’s sinking. Also, can DAP get rad core support for a mk5 2.5?

[@abielcojan6400]

What kind of wheels were on the GTI? The first beat-up set. I really like them.

Can't you replace those broken off plastic brackets with steel ones to hold the headlights in place? All you need is just a small piece of steel sheet cut and bent to shape and bunch of screws.

I feel like every car Paul buys automatically needs a core support 😂

[@kilgoretrout321]

i need to take out my carpet and clean it because mildew, I think (from bad seals I still haven't located and fixed). You don't have one of those videos. But if you did, I'd watch the shit out of it. Also, what glue do you recommend to attach a mirror to the...mirror part? Mine fell off the passenger mirror, but I grabbed it before it fell and shattered. Have it attached by duct tape for 6 months.... Also, what do you wanna bet the speaker seals and rear vent seals are bad? Yeah, you should do a video on fixing those, too. Also one on replacing the leather shifter fabric...mine wore away somehow and looks lame. Also....do you need any copyediting/technical writing? fml
