RESTORING MY VW GOLF R32 BARN FIND!

[@stevehalverson4315]

Gotta love the R32 for so many reasons 😊

[@A43R3W]

Def my boy

[@teofelusimene6496]

32 Reasons😂

[@johncamplin3557]

That’s a really nice R32. Love it in 3 door with the wingback seats. Nice easy save, well done Dean.👍

[@JC_46]

I’ve got a 3 door too with the cloth recaro wingbacks 😎 I think they’re a car that look so much better in 3 door vs 5 door.

[@damienhostey7804]

Love the Mk 5 R32 I bought a 3 door manual in deep blue pearl back in 2007 it was a 06 plate with 10k miles paid £16995 for it . Not a fast car but what a lovely sound it made from standard . Great car

[@mattmorris3408]

I changed the haldex oil on my Mk6 R and had to top the level up after a quick spin letting the 4 wheel drive engage which fills the filter up so worth checking again… I also ended up changing the actual haldex pump as wasn’t engaging the rear wheels quick enough, my light was coming on indicating wheel spin which shouldn’t happen with the 4 wheel drive indicating faulty pump 👍

[@andrewpercival1427]

Result on the gearbox, satisfying when you think there is a major fault and it's something simple..lovely car

[@iBarricade]

I work at a independent vag specialist and on every haldex oil change I removed the pump and clean inside (Just underneath the filter x2 10mm holding it on) so much build up and shit inside all the time

[@markplenty2631]

About the air filter, Had the same issue with a flywheel, Honda wanted £950 for a flywheel with Honda on the box, LUK wanted £550 for the exact same Flywheel just in a LUK box.

[@jackMcRyder]

Love how you found the stripped 6mm filter drain plug (seen that…) and how you’re restoring it and loving the sound of the exhaust! And how had to pull the filter the old fashioned way…and the OEM air filter part comparison…

[@markmawson1]

You can't blame the last person who tightened the wheel bolts up, don't forget the vehicle has been in storage for years and that doesn't help, i regularly work on a Mk5 Golf and i can torque every wheel bolt up to spec and i can guarantee every time i go to undo them they won't crack off with impact gun i have to use a power bar and bounce on the bar to initally loosen them i have even chased the threads on the bolt and used the M14 x 1.5mm tap in the hubs and lubed them up but still every time i have to crack them off manually.

[@aslandama]

Lovely V6 sound, I have an Alfa V6 which sounds wonderful too.

[@JohnWickOG]

This .:R is a keeper! To have 6 Spd & the Wingbacks is the Combo!

[@ignaw]

Great start for Saturday!

[@SavingSalvage]

Enjoy!

[@sheldonjones3921]

I had the less desirable but equally as fun A3 3.2 Quattro it was so much fun and with an exhaust kit it sounded great which made the Bose sound system work for its money lol.

[@kresa22]

Best engine sound.... sound of maserati in family hatchback ...beautiful 😊

[@SavingSalvage]

Couldn't agree more!

[@H8T98]

same as mine, black magic 3dr. lovely car.

[@ronnierobinson1502]

Best car channel .....down to earth, Great

[@SavingSalvage]

Thanks mate 😊

[@ronnierobinson1502]

ur welcome@@SavingSalvage

[@stevo4649]

thankyou Dean,im sure this upload will help many with the same issues, looking forward to the follow up,have a good weekend,,👌👍

[@Greig300]

The latch does not require replacement. Easy to remove and clean. Just keep eye on the cable when re-fitting.

[@Ja5onB0urn3]

Looking really nice Dean! The rear wishbones on any Mk5 Golf are a usually an MOT advisory for excessive corrosion. They certainly are on mine. 😮

[@TeaVR]

Yeh, not fast by modern standards. Fast enough for British B roads however :)

[@carp128]

you don't need to take the wheels off to change the brake fluid just put it up in the air on the ramp and do it from underneath

[@SavingSalvage]

I know, but I need to address the wheel issue still and it’s easier to change brake fluid with the wheel off

[@alanclarke9081]

Nice video, my rear caliper was leaking but changed both already painted from ECP. I use Mann air and pollen.

[@SavingSalvage]

Nice work!

[@Haroosh20]

I am so tempted by a R32 or early R. Seeing you bring this one back to spec has got me thinking hard 😊

[@stephenleonard6214]

6 pots trump 4 every day of the week.

[@MrRedfreds]

Looking forward to this one on the raffle. 👍

[@andrewnewton5893]

Best combo on r32 nice manual box

[@londoninhd4430]

Yes. Last two times I've gone tyre shop. They broke bolts from ugger duggering them too much.

[@Cous1nJack]

Says more about your bolts

[@johnelbro127]

Great video and pleased it is just the bracket for gearbox. 👍👍👍👍

[@tomthepetrolhead97]

On the subject of why main dealers don't change the haldex filter is because they are lazy techs are just constantly working for a bonus. I worked for Steven eagell Toyota and they charge for brake fluid changes but don't actually change them because they say it takes to long

[@LawrenceTutty]

Agreed that sounds great! My own mini resto-project mk4 2.8 v6 4motion is nearly ready to be back on the road to make a similar noise.....can't wait 😁 Are u gonna raffle the r32? 🤞 Keep up the good work

[@adriansmith1410]

I would do transfer box at front aswell this always gets mist and is 3000 grand from VW so worth doing oil change 😁✌️

[@demoller42]

nice video, and as always informative. I have a tip for the carriage bolt. Loosen the other 4 bolts so there is less tension on the lock bolt . Possibly next time you will get your lock bolt loose this way

[@statementleaver8095]

Or just Hammer a socket on 👍 17/19mm Audi wanted £80 to Drill out 1 on my A3 (back in 2013) 2 mins on the Driveway and the Stud was out with Socket and Wrench 🤓🤓

[@nubie1100]

I always tighten the rest🤷‍♂️, I thought just like when you put a wheel on and you go around and tighten them by the time you get to the last one the first one is slack again and you go around again. So tightening the other should make the one you don't tighten looser. I might be wrong but it worked for me 🤷‍♂️

[@andrewkidger7048]

What a great vid, loved watching you sort all the problems, car sounds great, top stuff, roll on the next one !!.

[@kingchooet9966]

Could you please tell me what the new part for the gear linkage is and where you bought it? I have the same problem.

[@ciaranmccormack4434]

Worked in a motor factors for 5 years. All filters are outsourced to companies like Mann/mahle/febi. Spurious parts are literally the exact same

[@alanjohnstone2539]

Good content very worrying that main dealer do not change Haldex filter crap.👎as usually filthy I also remove pump and clean gauze filter as if choked the pump can run dry and burn out.

[@matthewhargreave6766]

Nice work where you get the brake calliper from thanks

[@SavingSalvage]

Motor parts direct

[@chrisgray2851]

Turning into one of my favourite channels.. good man ✊

[@SavingSalvage]

I appreciate that!

[@colinbarnes2517]

Diesel Geeks make fantastic short shift kits for the VAG range.

[@adampyro834]

wow thats got to be like the worlds easiest to do pollen filter. also, love the blue on that new caliper

[@eamonkelly2792]

Absolutely brilliant job as always Dean, the R32 sounds lovely 👍👍

[@WilliamStevens007]

Have to admit, A beautiful sounding car.

[@SavingSalvage]

It really is!

[@PaddyBrawlStars]

Hey Dean, I really need your help and knowledge on VW. My dad stranded with his GOLF 6 automatic, after normal drive he stopped to refill the tank and than the car did not start again. In the MFA it showed "Select P or N" which was not possible. Some local guys at the petrol station manually unlocked it by removing a yellow piece undernethe the gear selecor stick. This allowed to select P and/or N but the car still showed "selece P or N to start" and the selected Gear did flash instead of nowmally lighting up. Have you any Idea where this issue can come from and how to fix?

[@davidhatton6858]

Nice car Dean, that rasping sound is spot on. Be a lovely car for someone when its finished 👍

[@SavingSalvage]

Absolutely

[@adrianrennocks1007]

What a sound . I'm looking forward to the next video, Dean 👍

[@nazhassan1338]

Regarding the gear linkage, you may find that when you change them, one is longer than the other, hence why he was having issues with first and second. Just a thought. Naz ps. Love your channel.

[@justinb2002]

Small tip, the hand pump used for the haldex oil can normally screw onto the new oil container. Much cleaner 🙂

[@Nicknofish]

Glad the gearbox was a easy ish fix! I would have been pooping myself 😮. Cheers.

[@RS-ei3yt]

Hi Dean et al, I hv a 2012 petrol vw beetle 1.4 tsi. 80k on the clock. When started n on idle it doesn't sound as smooth. Its got a rattle sounding like a diesel. What cd it be...? Appreciate ur answers. Happy to send a video how it sounds by email. Thx for all ur help.

[@kingchooet9966]

I would defenitely buy 2 rear calipers! Bad cost saving in my opinion. When one side fails, you should get the other side done too, cause it will fail too.

[@SavingSalvage]

Why would the other side fail too? It could fail at anytime. Like anything. It’s lasted 15 years so far so could last another 5 still.

[@kingchooet9966]

​​@@SavingSalvageBecause the other side got stuck because of age. They tend to do that when getting old. So the other one will defenitely get stuck too in some time, and because they are not expansive at all for a caliper i would recommend to change them together. Edit: Will you be doing differential and gearbox oil too?

[@Kicus007]

Pure sound ❤️❤️

[@vr6280]

Awesome car - Love the R32 (Need one!)

[@darryllock7212]

alright Dean just a question you did take out the red vent plugs when installing the battery ?

[@seanfarrell6009]

Great video, can you post a link to that torque wrench seems a lot easier to set up than many others i have seen, I love the R32 and have been lucky enough to own a few over the years my personal favourite is blue, manual, none wingbacks i find them uncomfortable on longer journeys i know everyone loves them but im just odd, Looking forward to tomorrow's draw 🤞 Good luck to all that have entered

[@66737pbain]

Locking wheel nuts are the devil's work. Best place for them is the bin!

[@Saavvvv]

Nothing againt using a gun to run the plugs in but id be starting them by hand. Just good basic engineering practice, avoiding the chance of crossed threads.

[@1954307]

looks a really nice car dean....love the sounds

[@steverogers7473]

Hey Dean, can you tell me where you got your mini torque wrench from please? It looks super handy and intuitive. 👍

[@1066gaz]

I thought you would have replaced the other caliper on the rear, as that might end up being seized later on. Great job though dean, look forward to the next.

[@neilcutler8064]

And the rear discs they looked shot

[@1066gaz]

@@neilcutler8064 Yep i would have imagined dean would replace them.

[@arkadiuszkorona9317]

Did the M2 comp pass the MOT ? Gov shows the MOT failed in June?

Had an MK4 R32, and I supercharged it. Are you going to modify yours? Or leave it stock? Love the VR6 owned a few 1997 Passat VR6 2001 GTI VR6 And my favorite that I lost to a flood the 2004 R32!

[@liamegan4303]

Hi Dean. I love this R32. Beautiful Caliper and just £70. That's not too bad at all. I'm dying to see what the next car is lol. Christ Dean the Air-filters are mad. There the exact same but different money. Depending where you get them 😅😅 That Car sounds so Happy to have new Spark Plugs. Great job fixing the Gear linkage. I never knew there was a filter under the dash. You always teach me something new bro lol. Wow it now Sounds Mint Dean. Thanks for your hard work bro 😅😅 🇨🇮🇨🇮🇨🇮🇨🇮🇨🇮

[@72neillyboy]

Nice work Dean

[@Mr_Whippy92]

was it euro / gsf for the calpiper or vw?

[@aidie26]

Surely you would change the gearbox oil as its sat there for four years, I didn't here you say you were going to do it. Just a thought from experience.

[@candy.r32]

Ich liebe meinen 5er R32 ! 🥰💙💙💙

[@MrHuismeester]

Nice car !!!! And video is great as always !!

[@jamesbaldwin145]

The already painted rear caliper is a score. Does anyone know where this would be from?

[@markfarrier1711]

Love the 32

[@tomchamberlain4329]

In my experience the reason I didn't buy tickets for the draw is that the website didn't seem to work in any browser, I couldn't click on "buy tickets" or whatever the button said. Assume lots of other people had similar issues.

[@markfisher8704]

Did the cambelt need changing or is it chain when you hato do service as it was standing for that long

[@alancobbin]

It’s chain driven,I’d probably replace the chain at 100k miles as long as it’s been serviced well with good quality oil,with the cars current mileage the chain would be absolutely fine,hope this helps👍

[@lardook]
