Comment below what videos you’d like to see on the GTI

[@SavingSalvage]

TR Hamza My 8P RS3 would like to race your GTI mate 😉

[@ThePerson444]

I have no idea where you go from here other than refitting gti springs on the rear. 20 mins away from done in my book. Have you checked for the insane amount of mud rotting away the ends of the sills under the arches?

Oh i know! Meth injection, will it keep those valves clean?

[@seanrichardson6311]

If your going to bleed all your brakes always start with the brake furthest away from the reservoir

[@lavachemist]

Actually that is incorrect. VW is backward. You start closest to the master cylinder and work away from it. I just read the MK5 Bentley manual.

[@badboysergio]

Done mine today bled it and the brake peddle goes all the way down no braking at all

[@N54Jair]

@@badboysergio that happened on my mk6 after bleeding 6 months ago I’ve let it sit but it’s starting to get rusty I got it jumped and it’s a Christmas tree. ABS and traction control lights blinking. Did you ever fix that issue

[@TRHamza]

Thank you!

[@sheldonm3535]

Great brakes! I have the PP package on my Mk7 and it came with the R/S3 brakes. The electronic diff and brakes were well worth searching for a MK7 with the PP package. Good work!

[@djhatstand7312]

Those VW wiring plugs are always fun, you have to push on them (compresses the rubber seal inside) before you unlatch the catch bit, also If you solder those 2 wires together the brake pad warning light will go out, but you'll have to keep an eye on your pad wear yourself.

[@roberthargrave573]

When bleeding brakes always bleed the farthest one away from the master cylinder as air can get trapped in the brake lines leaving you with a spongy brake pedal also advise you to put some type of brake grease on your new calipers and pads to stop brake squealing also will make it easier to dismantle when pads need replacing great video mate enjoyed watching it

[@eliters]

Just got one of these for myself as a project after watching your build! Keep it up, subbed and watching for inspiration and ideas of what challenges I might face 😁👌🏻 keep up the good vids!

[@MrNeildavies3]

I have a golf mk5 r32. Love these videos. Keep up the good work. What about a video on cleaning/grinding the rust on the inner arches then spraying. Mk5 all have it and want to do mine

[@Zed_Zone]

Both this and Aleems vid pop up on my phone... It's gotta be this vid first always!!

[@tracktimevideos5164]

I always grease up the backs of the pads, never get any squealing.

[@TRHamza]

Did notice a squeak yesterday after a few days driving. Might take it apart again and grease them, thanks for the tip 👍🏼

[@sm7538]

If you want to switch the pad warning off, bridge the wire that broke so basically cut the broken connector off and join the 2 wires together

[@honestreview1043]

To save loads of brake fluid running out you can take the reservoir cap off and cut a piece of polythene or plastic bag about 100mm square and place it over the reservoir then put the cap back on. That should create a seal and stop all that brake fluid loss.

[@sonny8628]

Good stuff, bit of advice on bleeding brakes. You really want to start with the caliper that's furthest away from the master cylinder and work your way to the cylinder. For example on my Polo GTI, it would be rear left, rear right, front left and then front right. About 10-15 seconds is enough for the bleeder to be open normally.

[@chrisryan3445]

I would agree with that normally, but the Golf MK5 has a specific bleed order which is start at nearest to master cylinder. Also it's well worth bleeding out the clutch - shared system with the brakes, so there is still some old fluid in there. Plus if you have VCDS/VAG-COM then go through the ABS cycle too to get the old fluid out of there.

[@sonny8628]

@@chrisryan3445 Thanks for the information. I never knew that for the Mark V.

[@1066gaz]

You bleed furthest away from the master cylinder first which is nearside rear,offside rear,nearside front then offside front. its dual circuit split diagonally so if you get a leak on say the offside front you still have full braking on offside rear and nearside front.

[@hassannaqvi4512]

Working hard as per usual my brother... As you said the car is coming together. Regarding the ABS/Brake light on the dash, just loop the broken wire(s) so it completes a circuit... this will get rid of the light (temp solution only, lol. Replace it in the long run). Also I am sure in the past I have seen a car like yours using the front removed calipers and discs on the rears... Just a thought 😉

[@JMauto96]

The brake pad light should go off if you twist the wires together for now until you get the Wear sensor sorted hope it helps 👍🏻

[@ThatRoddy]

When youre doing the back brakes... start bleeding at the passenger rear, then drivers. Also bleed the front again. Grease the pads. The car looks great and im amazed how good it is for its mileage. Good job.

[@DanialA11]

Anyone with a VCDS can code the brake light off the dash and delet the sensor from the ecu. If you got no1 I can do it for you. Them sensors always break Good content keep it coming.

Glad you like it bro!

[@djjackjones1]

If I didn’t have an 80 mile round trip commute, I fancy doing this as a project myself!

[@malekdahou95]

Camera looks good bro. I’d say paint the back callipers black. Would look a lot better. Change suspension too when you can. Can’t wait to see this car when finished. Hopefully you sort body and minor details out. I know it’s nearly 200k Miles but old is gold as they say. Also for the break pad grease check out Textar Cera Tec from Euro Car Parts it’s a ceramic paste. It’s much better than copper grease. Read quite a bit about it on forums. Works a charm.

[@4ndy65]

I started down the same route...but ended up with new cayman calipers SKF bearings HEL lines textar pads mtec discs inner and outer tie rods oem shocks and eibach springs Nothing worse than getting carried away

[@SS-mj7br]

Finalyyyy!

[@Wetthewhistle]

Put your hand over the clips/springs and they won't ping away or blind you and the back of the pads should have been copper greased to stop squeeling/noise.

[@TrxRoyal]

I did quite the same job last week , for the V gti you start front left 200ml-> front righ t200ml -> rear left 300ml -> rear right 300ml . And then you flush from the nipple on top of the gearbox , right under your intake hamza you extract around 100ml of old fluid from there . Nice uprade by the way !

[@einfelder8262]

What I'd like to see is the rear brakes upgraded to match the fronts. MKV GTI applies the rear pads before the fronts to prevent dive under brakes. Quite possibly ABS calibration is out of whack with the different brakes front and rear. Just short the two wires together on the wear indicator to turn the light off.

[@irishbaz2010]

Yea I thought the same, the brake balance would be off doing fronts alone. Could even be worse than standard unless the rear brakes are upgraded to balance out the front.

[@TRHamza]

Worse than standard lol, it’s about 10x better.

[@irishbaz2010]

The stopping power might be greater but the brake bias will be out making the braking less effective.

[@ijaazahmed6399]

Bro love the vids , try investing in a high pressure steamer for those kind of parts , after using it to clean all the gung off spray it with a metal friendly anti rust and just wipe it down

To make the pad wear sensor light turn off just join the 2 broken wires together bro 👍 and give my channel a shout out 😅 liked the video.. and like the brake fluid bleeder you used, I've used one in an old garage I worked at, it's a good bit of kit. If you keep the brake pedal pressed with some wood and the seat moved forwards while you disconnect the lines you'll find they don't drip as much too, and easier to bleed after but don't forget to stop pressing the pedal before you bleed it lol. Looking forward to the next vid 🔥
