What Does 300,000 Mile Suspension Look Like?

Mk4 Volkswagen Golf TDI 1.9L diesel engine code ALH is in dire need of a suspension upgrade!
Upon taking apart the aging 300,000 mile suspension, we realized that the Golf is much overdue for an overhaul.

Time for an inspection! ☝🏽

[@thomaselli01]

To finish it off it needs an alignment. Will make a big improvement

[@troywolverton3067]

Comment. Love you guys

[@novahollows7020]

where has this content been all my life?

[@de_fatherland6467]

Nice videos, i checked out your evrymod video before i did it on my car and it really helped me to understand how to do it, got really good results. I have Audi 80 b4 with 1.9tdi 1Z engine and evrymod took the power form 90 to about 130-140. Stock gt15 turbo is a bit more than maxed haha. Running 1.3 bar- 19psi and stock injectors maxed as well. Everything else is stock and can keep up with 180hp car for first two gears so yea this works really well.

[@GasHouseGarage]

Hey there! We haven’t made a video on the evrymod so that was probably someone else. To my knowledge the evrymod has the potential to destroy the injection pump so it is not something we recommend

[@de_fatherland6467]

@@GasHouseGarage haha forgot to check anyways found your channel researcing that and make great videos also well i guess you can try evrymod i guess If i remember i can giv update on how the engine likes it long term been 2 months atm and no problems yet. Also found some metal in the oli so im just sendin it haha

[@mario54vro]

i got an alh too and i think my turbo is done at 2000 rpm or lower when the turbo needs to boost it just smokes a lot white kinda blue smoke and no power

[@GasHouseGarage]

I would check to make sure the turbo actuator is moving correctly. Sometimes the turbos get dirty and the actuator can get stuck

[@mario54vro]

@@GasHouseGarage thanks for the reply

[@GasHouseGarage]

No problem!

[@gmcassell1]

Nice vids guys. I have a similiar setup.mk4 .275 gibonra nozzles Gt1752 Custom.ecu software. Pulls good...but im taking some inspiration from you

[@GasHouseGarage]

Thank you for the support! They’re fun lil cars!

[@K03sport]

regardless of how bad it is, it is all easily replaceable. I did (top) strut bushings twice and a lca w/R32 rear bushings in my garage w/minimal tools (yes, had the special pass-through sockets for the strut nuts). I never did the rear beam in the 15 yrs I had the car, but did rear shocks/brakes and parking brake cables. Parts are a plenty for this car and you can easily upgrade to GTI/R32 bits really easily. I used all Vaico and Meyle stuff, but there are many other brands out there. then there are the shocks and struts - sky's the limit on those from cheap soloworks coilovers to shine strut/spring combos....

[@GasHouseGarage]

The price of decent coilovers didn’t make sense when you can get struts, springs and all the bushings and hardware for less than a pair of coilovers. It’s crazy how expensive they are!

[@K03sport]

@@GasHouseGarage ...yes, agreed. B6/B8 and springs puts you at $1k...good (adjustable) coilovers start at $1600-ish, but most are nearer/at $2k. I'm in a WRX now and it's the same story. solid/firmer bushings make all of the difference.

[@GasHouseGarage]

It’s a night and day difference how this thing handles for sure!

[@FunGoingFast]

That may be the worst autocross suspension in the history of history! Incredible job redoing everything. BBS wheels, Bilstein shocks, German sleeper!

Hey, bro. Any chance collaborate with you on a LED lighting product review? Our team emailed you but no response from you yet

[@GasHouseGarage]

We will get back with you shortly! Thanks for reaching out

[@rayzza88]

Should have got some kw or bc coilovers

[@GasHouseGarage]

Maybe down the road. I just couldn’t stomach the price

[@heathersigmon3380]

Nice shirt

[@evan.mcleod]

Can y'all please make an oil change how-to? Thank u

[@K03sport]

oil change is easy. get some ramps and a (oil) catch basin. pick your 5w-40 oil of choice. have a drain plug gasket. and choose your brand of filter (I used the largest Mann filter available on my gti for extra oil capacity). drain, fill, done. there are obviously other steps, but it's that easy.

[@declandunehew1404]

Holy cow that’s worse than I could’ve imagined

[@GasHouseGarage]

We’re surprised the steering knuckle didn’t just fly off hahaha
