Bought a stock 2009 GTI with 118,000 KM (~74,000 miles) back in January 2020. Paid a bit extra for the low mileage but I had been combing the listing for a solid example. It did not disappoint. Smooth and easy to daily and gets decent mileage when driving conservatively. It becomes a completely different car in sport mode with the DSG, superb response and plenty of low end torque for a nice go in between stoplights. The only thing that's been a downside so far is the intake runner flap actuator failed and began leaking boost like it was its job. Ive owned it long enough and put enough maintenance into it to know its solid. Some light modifcation and a flash tune and this car will be an amazingly cheap to run and reliable sports car.

How is 118,000 km low mileage here in Sweden people will never buy cars over 50,000 km I don’t understand the American cars they got high mileage and they are expensive, I bought golf mk5 gti in Sweden that had 15,000 km for less than 4000dollar

@@lifeisshort4777 Its a 13 year old sport compact. 118k is nothing. At 25k a year average its well below where it could be. Most other examples in my area at the time were 200k plus, some pushing 300k. These engines will run for 500k plus if you treat them well. As for why it's a North American thing, what country would you be in if you drove for 8 hours? I wouldn't even be in the next province yet. Basically if it had been driven the "average" ammount per year it would be over 250k, it had less than half that, making it low mileage. A lot of people here in Canada put on 2,000 km a month or more because of the distances involved in commuting between cities. I also paid a little extra for the 2009 model year which here in North America came with some benefits. Like my engine is the tfsi not the fsi, has a timing chain instead of a belt, fixed the high pressure fuel pump cam follower issue, new revision intake manifold, and about 15 more HP than other MKVs because it has the EA888/1 instead of the EA113 engine you find in all other MKVs.

@@spencerquimby4726 Actually the TSI motor have been known to have some pretty major issues with it's chain and people have found that the FSI if taken care of properly can actually be more reliable than the TSI. Depends who you ask but the fact some people prefer to build the FSI instead means it's not the end all be all answer to FSI issues.

@spencerquimby4726 Жыл бұрын
@@EmilyRose900 Very true, I've heard both sides, belt vs chain. They both have issues. VW used to have chains then switched to belts then back to chains because people complained about both of them. I think what it comes down to, as you said, is following service recommendations and preventing failure through maintenance. I like the chain as it doesnt have to be replaced nearly as often, and the tensioner assembly is less prone to failure (still will though if you're not on top of it). The FSI is easier to build, but the TSI has greater potential and similar reliability. Just my 2 cents. Not knocking the FSI, it's a great engine, I just appreciate some of the features they changed for the EA888 family.

My biggest complaint with mk5's (speaking from long term ownership, ranging from gti's, gli's and my old Leon Cupra) is the suspension as a whole is extremely expensive, not even talking about after market. My wifes 08 tfsi has 215k miles, and we've spent more than the cars value the past 3 years replacing worn suspension components. (Tbh, I miss the mk4 days of rear beam and simpleton control arms.) But lets be honest, its a 11 year old turbocharged German car, and we do live in the speed bump capital of the world. In case anyone is wondering, in 215k miles we've replaced: Brakes all around (duh) Ball joints, tie rods, sway bar end links, sway bar bushings, rear trailing arms, struts, strut mounts, Axle boots (too many times) dsg service, X2 t-belt (FTW) service along with accessory belt, a/c compressor, radiator fans (both, large one twice) starter and finally bank1 O2 sensor. Interior has had a few things need touch up or repair, but we live in UAE, and the car sits outside in 120+ degree heat. Overall, I love the car, is been quite good to us. Car is also eurodyne stg1 on OEM downpipe.

The 2.0T up to the MK7 is still the nightmare that keeps VAG engineers up at night. Who knew an engine could consume more petroleum through the rings than through the injectors? You know, before 50K. Sadly, the 2.0T gave a lot of VAG cars a terrible wrap that they don’t deserve. The rest of the drivetrains in most 2.0T powered Audi’s/VW’s is pretty bulletproof. The chassis’ are also well-refined. But that “add one qt. of oil” reminder every week is a real buzzkill. And then the timing chains... and then the PCV’s.... and then the turbos... and on. And on. And on.

Have owned one since 60k miles has 143k miles and running really strong. Very well maintained and the mechanic says it should last another 100k still on mainly all OEM parts in NE Ohio. Also just got the oil tested and Blackstone labs said the engine was in excellent shape and that was with a 10k mile oil change and they said I could lengthen the interval if I wanted. Also bought an 06 rabbit with 45k miles about a year ago was neglected but once my mechanic got her fixed up she's at 65k and still running really strong!

There is no single video about other VW Golf V cars (1.4 GT TSI or the 2.0 FSI). Im sure most want to know about the piston rings, the costs of replacing them and how often. Or whether there are specific piston rings that won't break. Or whether using a higher octane fuel will reduce this problem. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Any advice for anyone looking to start a youtube channel that owns 2 MK5 rabbits? I Have owned one since 60k miles has 143k miles and running really strong. Very well maintained and the mechanic says it should last another 100k still on mainly all OEM parts in NE Ohio. Also just got the oil tested and Blackstone labs said the engine was in excellent shape and that was with a 10k mile oil change, and they said I could lengthen the interval if I wanted. Also bought an 06 rabbit with 45k miles about a year ago was neglected but once my mechanic got her fixed up she's at 65k and still running really strong! Was maybe thinking about fixing modifying my older rabbit. Anything is appreciated great video!

Any locations where it would wind up leaking a tad of coolant maybe? I gotta see over winter. Its a very small amount more so passenger side. Wondering if its just a hose and tiny spot. And mines tsi, wondering how bad of an issue it is to do motor mounts. The oil front one i see seems easy enough and i need to for that one. What about the others?

This is the worst car I have owned.... I never rode it hard... but despite my good driving habits, the car rewarded me with a blown the head gasket, then later the turbo failed and had to be replaced. Check engine light was on more than it was off. Cylinder mis-firing was the usual culprit...at least once a month. VW couldnt fix it. It got so bad, that every time I started the engine, i wondered if the check engine light would be on, blinking...or just stable. It was a fun car to drive, and looked nice....but I couldnt afford the monthly payments, then having to have the car in the garage at the same time. Total garbage engine. Then I got smart and bought a Subaru STI. Guess what , no issues. no check engine lights.

In your humble opinion for a mk5 gti; which one is better fsi or tsi ? Maintenance, performance, resale value?

I have a 2009 TSI and the timing chain has an ongoing class action lawsuit (paperwork already had to be submitted to make a claim). Some fairly new cars were having catastrophic engine failures. Mine presented as a slight oil leak. Any competent owner took it in and got it fixed by now. It's a problem on many Volkswagens and Audis with timing chains, not just the GTI by the way. Getting the money recovered through the class action lawsuit is proving to be a nightmare, and I keep a thorough maintenance record. I can only speak from personal experience. It's a fun car, amazing on the freeway, got me my first speeding ticket. You can go so fast and the car just purrs and the handling stays firm. I follow the maintenance schedule and keep it clean, besides the recalls, it's never given me trouble. There's now a warranty extension for the water pump, mine's been losing a little coolant. Make sure that's been addressed. I'd avoid the cars like this one that have a lot of aftermarket modifications, that seems to cause problems. Upgrading to Michelin Pilot Sport tires last year made me get the new car butterflies all over again. I had a Beetle before this car, Volkswagens keep their value better than some other cars (not as good resale as a Honda but the VW is more fun to drive). There's plenty of them on the road that are 20+ years old. Having a turbo, your trade off for added performance is that they require more maintenance. They're reliable if maintained, they can't handle much neglect. Take care of your VW and it will take care of you.
