I FIXED MY GOLF GT TDI THEN MODIFIED IT

[@anthonyclegg332]

Sort the bonnet and rust patch, do some mods e.g induction kit, exhaust,R32 rear bumper then remap. Will get you a much better swap than what you would currently get

[@benmihai504]

💯 agree

[@Bun0892]

I'd say fix the cosmetic side of things and leave any bigger mods for the next owner if they would want to do them! Sick series so far mate!

[@TheIggy861]

Jesse there’s a massive hole in the sill

[@barcodeBoy666-Barcoded]

Lol

[@skye-jaylock-harvey7735]

Mirror and bonnet sorted, the rust on the side skirt also. Then induction kit, exhaust & map. Or get a upgraded rear bumper & some cosmetic bits like an extension on the spoiler etc

[@stephen8468]

That bodywork and paint work is shocking, you can’t sell that! Rear VW badge is damaged too

[@bytpranks8089]

It cost 150 quid

[@d4zz4mcd33]

I'd say get the rest of the paint in order and maybe even some new headlights on it. These look sick with aftermarket lights with the leds built in the units. Defo looks the part another good one again lad

[@JesseCollingham]

Remap and straight pipe next? 👀

[@haydenward2002]

Big mods please

[@unknown-gu1wv]

Sickkkkk

[@trickyfocus]

mot fail

[@MuzzammilKhalil-n2b]

Send it😂

[@lewish7736]

Nahhh, trade it up

[@shaneomac-9069]

If that self tapper eventually rusts and snaps off on the inside someone could be in for a bigger bill than the cars worth, please don't sell it like this😭

[@Sportage5603]

Horrible fix

[@Dan_B_Rides]

If I was you and I wanted to get as much back from that car, I would address the paint work, make it look shiny and clean and please please replace that intercooler hose with a new one and properly make sure it’s fitted into place. If I swapped a car for that golf, I would rather have the hose fixed rather than a bodge job

[@AhriCRose]

I 100% agree with this. Could you do a proper job, fix the paintwork, fix the intercooler hose, and new VW black badges, then detail it for the next person? This feels rushed.

[@jordie4852]

Have a 2008 tdi golf same thing happened. Driving down the road fine then no boost, checked faults and came up underboost, checked under the car, intercooler pipe burst, changed it burst again, hardpiped it gave it an italian tune up to clear out the black smoke and it hasn't blown since. Massive problem with vw boost pipes split and burst too easily. Get it hardpiped save the hassle.

[@Mr4..]

Looking through the comments mate and loads of people including me are saying the same, sort those paint imperfections out and when you come to swap it you will have loads more offers for that bigger next tier car. As you say working your way up to that supercar mate.

[@lawrenceloughlin5183]

I had a MK5 Golf and I had mudflaps on it, it made the world of difference. I’d sort the paintwork and sills out, not forgetting the wings that you got painted the wrong colour. Looking forward to seeing what’s next

[@joshmerrick4716]

I fitted a set of those Audi wheels to my mk5 golf gti a few months back as a set of stop gap wheels while I sold my edition 30 bbs ones. I really like the way they look on a mk5! I recon going forward with it you should get the lacquer peal and paint sorted and the sill and then maybe a full machine polish. Then swap it on.

[@AOC80]

Great video - fix the sill and bonnet and send it up the road - focus your time and resources on what will inevitably be more expensive cars to come - onto the next one!

[@tilly0191]

Respray the stuff that needs respraying, also the rear bumper in my opion is the only odd part of the car. Get the lower section painted red. Keep grinding fella and don't hold onto cars for to long as it'll only stall you on your goal 👌🙏

[@deanaquatics716]

Good on you for not giving up. Looking forward to the next one 😊

[@davidbryant5881]

I'm glad things worked out bud your a down to earth honest guy

[@kevinhaigh1654]

😂😂So pleased to see you got it sorted out and could see how relieved you are 😂, keep smiling and having fun and loving your channel well done 😊

[@AH-007-75]

I gotta say that was the best to watch you in joy as the car first picked up power and boost . First class 👍

[@davidmcintosh3621]

Great job Jessie!!!for someone who had next 2 no car knowledge when he started u are kicking it lad.🎉🎉🎉

[@mancsblue]

I'd fix the sill to clean it right up and you could clear lacquer the wing mirror caps yourself mate Then the bonnet maybe a professional job Those small bits will make it a little minter and you can value it more for your swap

[@HM.Hatchet205]

Its abit of a dog; needs center caps and rear vw badge and gti side skirts and patch up the rust and a good detail and service before you even think about moving it on

[@J_S591]

Get the bonnet, wings and doors blended. It’s a common issue with Flash Red, not two cars are the same even if you found a scrapper, it’d be different. Need to weld that sill up, that’s effective a Cat S heading into Cat B. Just do it right and conscience will be clean.

[@winwin2833]

Love the videos man 😎 keep up the great work👌, had same problem with my passat, intercooler hose kept blowing off even with a new hose and clip😅, sorted it out by securing it by screwing a self tapper in to it and used 2 big heavy duty heat shrinks over the connection, never had a problem since 😎

[@squirrel6158]

jessie love u mush with all my heart , your honest , true, and a geezer who WONT QUIT , bro your the BEST

[@craiggrice20]

Another video so keep a little longer, I’d get New silicone intercooler pipes (or even upgraded front mount) , sealed induction kit as diesel engines don’t like hot air makes them bogg down, colour coded rear bumper (GTI, R32, 4motion) exhaust and a map again around 200-250hp I’d say depending on which engine(140/170 model)then swap. May be worth between 15-2500

[@bazr9788]

As usual, the frustration youve had with this car and the hours and determination youve put in has paid off. We are extremely proud of you, well done ❤

[@JesseCollingham]

Cheers baz ❤️

[@Bucharestguidedtours]

Great Video, you've done great with it, clean it up and see what you can trade it for. I rule I learned years ago, clean glass and clean plates sells anything. (I valeted in a Peugeot dealer, 405s and 309s!). Best wishes J3, from the BGT.

[@Irishtravelvlog]

Amazing job modified It to a left hand drive @ 5:00 😊👍

[@rust_soldier]

Had a 1.9 golf the pipe kept coming off fitted a new pipe and clips still came off on the motor way. Had to keep pulling over on the motorway. The pipe has groves in that wear down.

[@danbruntnell111]

Lets goo !!! id say get the r32 bumper get a nice stainless straight through get that puppy mapped and enjoy some reeky pulls !

[@garywilson331]

Need to fix hole in sill aswell not point moding it the hole there

[@markeyre6916]

i would either sort paintwork out or look for replacement panels same colour lacquer peel always devalues a car

[@fewzzy737]

Love this series , realistic and relatable 😄👍 , keep doing what your doing bro

[@DEEDrives]

Leather seats leave the rest for the next owner. Came across your channel today. Love the content. Keep up the good work 👌🏻

[@shaneunknowndoesyoutube3869]

R32 rear lights with the r36 look Front splitter Remap Sort the sill out, weld a patch in and clean up an prime/paint

[@ryanwarke7867]

loving the series mate, keep smashing it!!!!!

[@onlytrickzzy7506]

I’m pretty lucky Cus I live 2 mins from regplate kings, had to get some custom reg plates made for a friend who passed away much love to them for doing them for us and they were mint

[@scoomfd]

I actually have a 55 plate mk 5 gt tdi on the drive with a turbo issue, its been sat there 4 years now. Great Video, get it mapped!

[@BennieboyVRS]

Good lad, self tappers are the way forward alongside cable ties 😉 keep turning on the cars fella 🚙💨

[@txomaster6448]

Get that rust sorted and the laquer peel sorted another small mod to do is swap all the interior bulbs for led bulbs

[@Gary-bf2ru]

Great video Jesse straight pipe and put back spoiler on it make and remap it the cars sick well done Jesse 👍👍

[@c111prs]

Smashing it mate looks well better now,you might regret removing that rear wiper motor when your driving on the motorway in the rain though,best of luck with it

[@leepearce3148]

You need to get the max from this car so do what's cost effective that will also enable you to get a better next car.. love your videos mate..

[@ZSHOOT2KILZ_]

Maybe a Volkswagen badge for the hub caps, a rear bumper what matches the rest of the car, headlight and rear light kit to match the wing mirror lights, an exhaust, and colour match the wings at the front then maybe get a remap

[@MrJKIZZY]

Lowering springs and colour code the black lower part of the rear bumper

[@harryhodge8534]

To clear the smoke issue I would either: 1. Do a forced regen to force the oil out of the dpf + it’ll clean the dpf in the process 2. Leave the car running for a few hours to burn the oil out

[@TheIggy861]

It doesn’t have a dpf

[@dannyauto5901]

Great work Jesse well done mate, boss episode, defo upgrade the golf then move it on 👍🤘🤟👌❤️

[@JordanMarshall-k4b]

Set of wind deflectors would be another shuttle touch 🔥🙌🏼

[@neilmullin3532]

tip. put the clips on first then push the pipe in until it clicks.

[@VikingDav]

Definitely some engine upgrades like pro ram air filter and maybe new fmic and silicone hoses throu the engine bay

[@wiffoo9310]

The intercooler screws 😂😂😂😂 I’ve got them inall 😂 those intercooler clips are a joke

[@jrds_insane6807]

ive been waiting for this video loving the series

[@bazr9788]

Love the plate 150 to 150,000, big luv to reg plate king....

[@samfaulkner7187]

I’m a massive supporter Jesse and your doing mint make keep going

[@novicetheaf]

Well Jesse i didn't doubt you 😊 👌. Absolute legend 💪 get the paint work sorted on ghr back bumper etc and maybe a spoiler nothing crazy

[@ChazMan93]

Keep swapping the car my man maybe make everyone 10 cars a special car with more mods and upgrades I've been loving the series bro keep up the good work 👏💯

[@theatheisthammer]

@jesse when replacing parts take a photo of before and after. And number them and just check each step and march the photo when yoy put them back together that way you will know everything is done and reduce time wasted

[@paulj888]

Love the dramatic music the whole video keep it up 😂😂

[@da-mazing8500]

Had a skoda vrs with similar issues on the boost pipes. Really expensive pipes too if i remember for what they were

[@pukka1]

New black badges, tidy up paintwork. Move on to the next one, onwards and upwards 👍

[@davidprice6993]

Would be nice to see the body work? Looking good and paint work. Would you be able to get it wrapped

[@darrenwillmott2253]

jesse keep it and put a r 32 bodykit and fresh paint it and spoiler and tint the rear lights too

[@michaelburke9100]

Keep up the good work the tips are Handy 💪🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿💪

[@JohnPayne-t6l]

Used to have a mk4 pd and mk5 gttdi, boost pipes was a nightmare on both mate. Ended up self tapper route on mk4 lol

[@nathangibson8066]

Had a PD150 Seat Leon FR. The pipes are shit and after self tapping them, no issues whatsoever. Easy little fix

[@KeepCreepin]

Realistically, with the rust and mismatched paint, what could you swap it for? Without those issues, could you get something better? I'd say get welding boy. Something new for the channel. Great content so far!

[@Joshrobo329]

Do a de cat straight threw tip and put a dump valve on it I would love to see that

[@benpenguin7382]

I do still think you need to check that the turbo is getting correct oil and returning it because the old turbo didn’t blow for no reason

[@Pitbike_Ginge]

cable tie around each side of the pipe and the intercooler then 2 more cable ties looped through them to pull it together

[@lewhainsworth8585]

Definitely sort the paint work and rust out but mod wise a Hard pipe kit would be awesome. Then your all set of the next one

[@twes5563]

Get some egr spray and use half a can bit of super diesel should be flying. Thought u got a 🍋 but u sorted it out. Far play to u

[@daveys84]

i take it the video is backwards as meant to be right hand drive car. love the channel. learning alot.

[@JesseCollingham]

Yeah I used my phone to it flipped

[@martoto53]

GTI side skirts will hide the problem….

[@liamting]

The alloy boost pipe on drivers side lower needs to be bolted to the engine block otherwise the boost pipes will forever come loose.

[@dan_1150]

Agree with @anthonyclegg332 sort bonnet and rust patch, induction kit, exhaust, r32 rear bumper, mirror covers they might even look good in black, carbon fibre wrapped or just spray them red, get some rear window tints in it and back to black all the plastics/tyres, engine bay clean/dress will be a lovely car!

[@petenorris2133]

Rear wipers are quite useful for, you know, being able to see behind you...

[@JesseCollingham]

Luckily I’ve got 2 wing mirrors like a van ✌🏼

[@petenorris2133]

@@JesseCollingham I've driven hundreds of vans, I prefer an extra clean window in the back 👍 Anyway good luck to you

[@josephstjohn3871]

Id fix the hole in the sill before anything else. Great progress tho mate

[@306hdipug]

The clips are fiddly if it’s not on properly it’ll never stay on once there on good they usually stay on it’s pushes really up inside aswell . Your not pushing the pipe further in it clicks 👌

[@306hdipug]

That intercooler pipe didn’t look pushed in enough usually flush 👍

[@tomasbaggott5305]

I want you to keep it, mate. I want to see you doing more mods to the car.

[@Superzesh101]

I reckon you should trade up to something else. Maybe a 2006 bmw 330d? If you get into another hatchback, it's mostly the same kind of car. A saloon or an estate would be a great project! Can't wait till you actually trade up to a supercar!! 😅

[@thesilentgametestr]

The so called super car will be years from now at this rate more so if it's something decent like an old R8. He'd probably end up reaching a clapped out old classic supercar.

[@o.r225]

Black out the light grey interior bits 🔥🔥 cheap interior mod which adds a new look

[@PeterTaylor-b3t]

C

[@SuperIrishphil]

Swap it and keep moving up. Loving the series 👌. People have tried these vids in the past but they stop after a few swaps. Hoping you take it all the way 🙏

[@joethompson1]

I think you should do some more modifications to it, e.g R32 bumper on the rear, upgraded lights (front & back), and maybe an R32/GTI steering wheel. That way you get a much better swap than what you’d get if you left the mk5 as it is.

[@thesilentgametestr]

Mods on this version and age of golf Is a total waste of time and money. Also the way this trade up series has started its going to be shit for shit, so might as well keep the cars standard otherwise it will never reach something good.

[@andyv-vx8il]

the four stroke combsution engine, suck squeeze bang blow good video fella 👍👍👍

[@louisebmedia]

Now im worried about mine on my mk6 😂 so may check mine today

[@AlwaysFrosty05]

Sort the body paintwork out first making sure it fully is correct all through and then new exhaust and then swap it 👍

[@AlwaysFrosty05]

Also finish everything on a car modding before moving onto a new car with an unfinished project bcuz u will be more successfuland happy with yourself and im training to be mechanic so take that in mind

[@tomwilliams1282]

ive got a stage 2 mk5 gti with no boost mate reckon you can fix that? :( XD

Where did you find the swap and plan to swap in future? Tried a few groups on FB but having no joy

So far just people that support the channel

Always remove the rear wiper if you can't see out the back window the car is probably due a wash
