Tune in to watch me tackle the CV boots that made the car fail its MOT and try one more time to get this thing back on there road... her we gooo!

Great job, an easier way that I hope helps your viewers... centre cap off, driveshaft nut off, wheel off, a long extension with a triple square and undo the 6x bolts from the shaft gearbox end, with the wheel turned you can drop that end out the cup and then pop the driveshaft out the hub. This avoids snapping pesky ball joint bolts and needing wheel alignment. Then you can work on the driveshaft in a vice on the bench. Also, better to put the grease into the CV bearing than into the boot. Good content. Thanks.
Not the first person to say grease into the cv rather than the boot, at least I know for next time 👌🏼 thanks for watching and getting involved, always nice to know an easier way for next time 😂
@@matimcfetridge Ah sorry, didn't scroll down and read too many :)
Great video. Just subscribed! Your content is what I dream of my own one day. Keep it up
i hope your ok matt,family ok,its great content has usual.youll get it through its MOT no probs ,i love your golf gti edition 30 its cool ,are you gonna body wrap it ,all the best ,take care m8
Brilliant video. Only failing on 2 CV boots-I'd call that a win. Top job fixing it yourself. I always regretted selling my mk5 GTI, they are excellent cars and I can't think of anything better for the money. Can't wait to see what you get up to in yours. Detail next?
Could be worse couldn’t it! The nib was daunting but surprisingly easy after all! As long as they don’t fail again any time soon I will be happy 😂 I wish a detail, probably a clutch 🥲
Recently found your channel. Like you I love my Edition 30 too. CV boots are a pain as they fail regularly on these, I've just done mine. Don't take this the wrong way but you are best packing the actual cv with grease and not packing the boot itself. Look forward to future uploads.
Yeah not ideal is it, thats why I made sure to fit genuine parts! Ahh I didn’t know that, hopefully they don’t fail again but if they do I will try it that way!
Silver wheels look great, I share you pain as I live between two farms so for seven months of the year there's little point in trying to keep a car mint!
Thanks mate, definitely think the silver wheels work the best. May get some darker track wheels though! Yes not too much point keeping them clean but I try my best in the summer 😂
Like the plate ❤!
Cheers mate!
Mk5 golf s my favourite car they drive mint
What about the misfire??? When you bought it it had one and you were worried about oil cap, did you fix it??? I'm assuming it wouldn't go through MOT with misfire?
Looking like its not misfiring but just a lumpy idle, passed all mot with flying colours so maybe an inlet/injector clean on the cards
Redex will be your new best friend 🤣
Hi Matt
What suspension does your edition 30 have?
Just purchased an ap coilover set
Just stock setup so far mate, not for much longer though 👀
@@matimcfetridge I’ll keep watching the videos to see what you fit
Mine failed on a CV boot too. Not too expensive
Not at all, imagine labour would cost much more than the parts!
Mate give the car a proper wash!!!
Is 13000 high mileage 4 gti done a mot check no advisories for last 2yrs
what year
@@pavethewayent 07
@@maurice6171 it's about average
@@pavethewayent ok thanks
13000? Or 130,000? If 13000 that's extremely low for a Mk5.
i think your wheels are fake?
What makes you think that?
@@matimcfetridge couldn’t see any bbs markings on them I might be mistaken
Only marked on the inside these ones mate 👍🏼 they are stock wheels
@@matimcfetridge oh okay I’ve seen some with marking on the spoke
You have no idea what broken is, clearly...
