the real question would be. What are the MOST commen issues with this car. As a technician for GM and Honda I can mouth off the most commen issues, what to expect and at what mileage these issues commonly happen

You forget to advise on the common speaker seal leak and boot leak, both can be easily fixed re-sealing. Put water down the window on a flat surface and if water is on inside of door, get it fixed!

You also want to look for aftermarket mods like a CTS intake. Car was most likely driven hard.

This is the best MK7 buyers guide ive seen. Thanks! :)

[juanleon]

Absolute perfect matching first off. Secondly so many people raise these cars incorrectly. Make the rockers all wavy and bent up. Quotes from body shops are $500 or more to fix

Really helpful info for a first-time MK7 buyer! What springs are you running? Ride height looks great; not too low. 👍🏻

As someone that just bought an mk7 and had the inside flood in under 24 hours when it rained overnight: the sunroof plastic can and will crack and let water into the car. Really wish this one was in the video.

The problems mine has had so far are a bad fuel injector, the ladder frame (valve cover) gasket was leaking oil, upper and lower cam covers gaskets leaking oil.

What clutch do you recommend for a high mileage car or if you were to tune it?

[beno.verbich]

Do you drive with the roof box on all the time?

Great input - Thanks.
The recording of your voice isn’t the easiest to understand- please consider dropping the repetitive music next time. That gets very annoying when trying to understand all you are saying.

Hello, good luck for your channel, from your experience, I can ask you something, I have a golf 7 2.0 tdi and my car, when it is in low rpm, feels a vibration like a tunnel or like a subwoofer, what do you think is something that I can fix? that doesn't make me feel comfortable

2nd gear is kinda fucked in mine. Whoever had it last (pretty sure it was 1 owner) abused it, slammed it, and it does not agree with the roads where i live. I need a new 2nd gear for sure, so light tranny rebuild, to RAISE the car, a new front bumper, splitter, maybe some real carbon canards indtead of the foam ones that were on it 💀, and a new oil sensor. Not the pressure sensor, the level and heat sensor. Bottoming out smacked it. Thankfully the ebay parts i see are $30 and not the oem $300. I'm told it's an easy replacement.

The sunroofs in the Volkswagens love to clog and leak it’s so annoying

[raywood]

Good informative video but that music is really annoying.
