Golf R Blown up Engine Teardown!

We bought a MK7 Golf R with 246,000 miles on it! This car was sold to us for $2,500 dollars because the engine was blown up. In our last episode, we ripped the engine out of the car, and made a step by step process so you could follow along! Now we are ready to teardown this engine.

"It wouldn't be the first shaft I've played with, today." Man's first words of wisdom. 👌

I can't think of a better start to the day than twenty minutes of Pauls glowing enthusiasm.

For 240k miles, that engine was very clean inside. The owner definitely took good care of it, notwithstanding the misfire. Oil analysis would have shown the connecting rod bearings were failing long before the bearing spun.

really appreciate your videos guys.. and i also like the humor... and I am about to get my 3rd GTI.. 2022 GTI SE... after I totalled my 16 GTI after hitting a wheel that flew into my lane at 70mph. Radiator destroyed, Transmission destroyed, oil pan destroyed, internal frame damage, exhaust mangled and pulled out of the engine, gas tank destroyed. All fluids leaking out at the same time, no fire, family safe. The GTI back wheels went airborne, landed at a 45 degree angle, was able to recover, pull over, with no fire.

Thank God for my GTI, a good handling car when it really counted!

8:20 “you don’t want to try and reuse this mother father”😂😂😂

Never knew VW used cracked rods in their engines. Learned something new today, thanks paul

Do you have a Charles install option. I couldn't find it on the website

These videos bring me much joy. The susness never gets old

My Mk 6 Golf R had a catastrophic failure at 84K miles of the tappet on the fuel pump piston (not uncommon, I learned), broken pieces of which were flung around inside and actually broke through the aluminum housings. It was impressive. Taking apart the top of the engine, I discovered several bolts had been installed with blue LocTite, which caused them to become stripped or break off in the head and block as I attempted removal. Not fun. The previous owner had it Stage 2 tuned with several APR kit parts, which I knew and definitely enjoyed the extra ponies, but the installer evidently thought LocTite was a good idea. I thoroughly enjoy your channel and content. Thanks for doing it!

I'm definitely looking forward to the engine build

This video is a great reminder of the importance of regular maintenance and addressing engine problems promptly. Keep us updated.

Entertaining and informative... Par for the course with Pauly D.

Recommendation for you Paul... Harbor Freight "Hardy" Nitrile 9 Mil (black) work gloves. Super durable and if you buy the size down from what you'd normally wear (I normally wore XL gloves but use the L sized gloves) you don't have all that excess glove material to contend with when you're trying to grab stuff. Because they're thicker than what you're using, they last a lot longer. I use them with different solvents and I can get 3-5 uses out of them before I need to grab a new pair.

The EA888.3 is cool and all but you know what’s better than one DAZA swapped Golf? TWO DAZA swapped Golfs…

Don't ever put a turbo on your good engine that came off of an engine that ate a bearing or had metal in it. Regardless of mileage. The turbo has just become a super effectively anti-seize manufacturing pump, that will pump forbidden glitter all in the new engine. Don't do it.

Mileage honestly is less important. If it's got no shaft play, and it ain't smoking...use that SOB. As long as it ain't got glitter production capabilities.

Paul and Charles is the best bromance in the car scene for me 😂 you guys are so funny and helpful, thank you! ❤

[supernotnatural]

Man I've 2003 XC90 at 327.000 kilometres, bought at 240k. It still runs fine, I did ask my shop to do good maintenance on injectors etc. It feels better than it did at 240k.
Meanwhile My '09 passat variant's TSI engine was death at like 150k. I learned that less complicated engines live a lot more and costs much less.
Even my old '99 Carisma GDI engine lasted more than TSI of Passat. First GDI engines ever

[gregprevite]

I saw the f&f jetta build in Pottstown pa today along with Charles’ golf Rs! Nice to see them in person, very nice jobs

Injector -> misfire -> lean -> knock

[joshuarobinson]

Thank you Paul for another great vid & thank you for addressing the crank walk/thrust bearings, the way these mk7&7.5 engines are holding up continues to impress me when i consider how much abuse they probably are getting across the board.
