This MK5 GTI is Trashed!! #shorts

this MK5 GTI has some Issues. While a lot of the issues are common MK5 problems, the GTI has some issues that are less common. On Sunday the full MK5 breakdown video will go live. The best question is, how deep down the project car rabbit hole do we go?

Glass half full. Great mentality when tackling a project. Good luck on the build.

[kirek]

It looks like it just left the assembly line 😂😂

[djtribo]

Glad you made it safe back to your shop! Cant wait to see what you have in store for this project!

These golfs are interesting. Those 90s one were really cool

1188/1200 needs a lot of love. Looking into cost of having it repainted (got 3 bids already). Did every Fahrenheit's clear coat delaminate from the paint? Needs headliner (currently held up with a bunch of push tacks) and of course have issues with the electronics: passenger door and rear hatch unlock when they feel like it, not all the time, and sometimes interior light comes on ... sometimes not. A/C non existent. Near mint interior, driven weekly (one of two cars) and runs great. If it weren't a Fahrenheit I would have sold it years ago.

I know I'm late to the party here, but I was legit worried about if you made it safely home after seeing your previous short about this diamond in the rough. All the best :D

[joshjones]

The air cooled fog lights had me dying

[Mk.maniac]

Never thought I’d see you with a mk5! I absolutely loved my Fahrenheit, really beautiful cars in the sunlight when they’re well taken care of

[pkonneker]

This video started out worrying, but I gotta admit I can see the diamond in the rough there

Man I just got one sight unseen a few weeks ago for $700. Got it running to discover a blown up cam follower, fuel pump, busted bolt on the balance shafts (chain hadn't derailed yet and was still running well luckily) and a few other nasty surprises. Got all the junk out, replaced intake cam and fuel pump, did all the timing, replaced the radiator and breaks, and should be throwing it all the way back together with the balance shafts delete this coming weekend, wish me luck lol she's gonna go or blow

[diegowaahere]

Still better than anything the same price in the rust belt

[RadioactivMan]

I wanna know why people buy limited edition variants to just let them get like that

[tommdschohns]

I wish we had the Fahrenheit jettas and golfs in germany. But we had the Golf MK5 as Speed Editions. Yellow Speed and Orange Speed. Both had awesome original Lamborghini colours and only 100 of each were made. Did the Pirelli Edition or Edition 30 come to North America? I don't know. There was also an Edition 240 only for The Netherlands.

Charles, what's the best Oetiker clamp pliers?

[Jethrokong]

Make the volume lower please it’s too loud

[i_Nihil_i]

Was this the one in denver? I came across it while looking for a fun car, but don't remember why I passed it up

[JewelryRvMe]

how funny i just bought #1091 fahrenheight 😉🌴

[cardiacdrummer]

You made it! Hopefully your wife didn’t scold you too hard 😝

[PrestonSteele]

Why did you travel so far to buy a crappy car which has one different trim piece which makes it "unique"? Is it better than other GTI Golf's?
