Golf MK7 GTD Review - 3 YEARS OF OWNERSHIP

- Today we review the Golf MK7 GTD and what the journey has been like for almost 3 years.
This Golf GTD has a serious exhaust and hardcut limiter sound off it.
While it's no golf mk7 GTI or Golf R. It still holds its own, especially in a drag race. Its acceleration is vicious and its torque is to thank for that (over 450nm of it).
Guys make sure to follow us on Instagram and Facebook for some serious stuff in the future

How you make that sound on diesel bro? :D What did you do?
I’m selling my modded f30 320d so I can buy a GTD, it seems like the best daily out there. Actually I think it is the best daily out there! Awesome car bro :)
Did u get one?
Love it 👌🏻 hope this channel really blows up, need more Irish car CZcamsrs
Thanks boss! We'll work harder on getting more of this out :)
@@rambushdoeswhips that’s not your problem pal you are doing your thing but you need recognition try get shoutouts from big channels or do a collab with someone if you can this channel defo deserves more recognition
@@theboss9000r Really means allot man thanks. We should definitely get out there more and collab you're spot on.
@@rambushdoeswhips Ireland seems to be blowing up quick in the car scene it’s starting to look like the usual big meets we get in London as a kid growing up in Ireland the meets were never that crazy but like I said it’s getting there your channel will probably blow now you’ve done it at the right time best of luck pal hope it blows up for ya
@@theboss9000r cheers man, yeah ireland has taken off for sure. We hope to be covering pretty much all of it if we can.
Very nice. I agree with the stop/start VERY annoying and dangerous. I once almost went into the back of a car in traffic because I was on a slope. The engine hadnt time to restart .... no brakes !
Yeah my sister has the same issues with her skoda superb. Its a hazard bro.
My start-stop on my '14 GTD seems to engage only on flat roads, but it's unpredictable.
@@rambushdoeswhips handbrake should only disengage if engine revs/ foot on the accelerator. At least for me on Mk7 and 7.5 golfs (both diesel and petrol)
Just in-plug it from the battery.. I did this in my 1st week of owning and have never even thought about it again since
Start-stop has a serious impact on cars without EGR deletes. During cold operation, stop allows exhaust gasses and soot to condense on all surfaces downstream of and including the valve while cold, shortening the life of all components.
The GTD is a stunning car
there are too many false dyno numbers on these cars, its a well known fact the stock fuel pump will not give enough fuel to allow for 240+ bhp, so people claiming 250bhp are very wrong. 245bhp to wheels is deffo incorrect mate, you do realise on a fwd car the loss from wheels to crank is around 12% meaning your car would be 270bhp.
Agreed but don’t think he’s bullshitting on purpose I think he’s just misinformed.
Mpg he’s way off the mark, should hold 30mpg around town driving the ballbag off it, should do 40+ B road bashing and easily 55mpg on a steady run, tuning diesels almost always makes them much more efficient which in turn means decent power and mpg.
Power will be at the crank not wheels.
I’ve got a stage 3 Q3 tdi with the one generation older 177 2.0tdi and that made 245hp 400ft lbs with the following,
GTC1556 hybrid @2.1 bar, 2.5” turbo back exhaust, alloy FMIC, CP4 fuel pump metering valve upgrade, 4 bar map sensor and pipercross CAI, the turbo has a little more left in it however even with the metering valve upgrade I was getting rail drain.
He is right he’s stage 2 from the exhaust but even with a custom tune to suit the exhaust you’re looking at a max of 10hp and 20ft lbs torque up and over stage 1 numbers, that said I know of couple of tuners that have pushed the stock 1549 and 1449 turbos to 240hp but you’re asking for trouble, they will make this sort of power but not safe by any means.
What exhaust is on this please
Cool video and cracking car man 😎, did I have a little play with this car on the M50 the other day? I was in a white rs Octavia
Could have, we tend to lose track of our races as they're quite frequent lol
I might buy one of these.
Do they have any engine problems?
Actually, diesels are a no-go in my country since they want to get rid of diesels in some years.
Is the GTE any good?
I've heard pre 2015 are run with chain which is bad
hey no major engine issues so far thank god
It is about your country if you have vw agency in your country it is kind of good if your country dosent have dont ever try to buy it
And the car will be piece of junk after 200k-250k kilometers i tried gtd for 4 years and when i reach 170k kilometers its start to give me big problems like oil leaking - change the fuel storge i dont know its name exactly - changing piston which is so hard to change
And theres other its about you now
For me i would not buy the car i would buy something more effective with less price like toyota
My brother have toyota for 9 years and its so good its about reaching 800k kilometers and still going well no problems until now and im going to sell my gtd next week to buy toyota too
Sick car bro, like ur content, keep it up 👌
Legend!
You're damn right the metal trim around the gear shifter is dangerous! I've proper sliced my finger on that! Was bleeding for a good 5-10 minutes.
Same here, twice, i kept it as is but removed the metal trim
🌲years?
Great Video really enjoyed it
Glad you liked it thanks!
What got it up to 245bhp mate??? I thought the maps go to like 230bhp or was it the exhaust etc?? If so what bits did you have to have on it and did you have to have them on first and can you explain the exhaust with the MOT still passing.
How do you get it to sound like that mate? Changing the exhaust?
How do you get it MOT'd with the DPF removed and a straight pipe in? Lovely car
Easy just pay them many small garages will pass if you pay as its not dangrous
Hello, I have a question about Mr. vw gtd if you were driving the gti in the 7th generation because in the movie you said you had 5th generation. Is there a difference in response to the accelerator pedal between the gti 7 and gtd? In your gtd turbo is changed or standard? after changing the program, the reaction to the gas pedal has not deteriorated, I mean low revs, thank you.
Where can I find a front lip like that for Mk6 GTD?
Maxton
Can you keep the original dpf/egr and gut it out or do you need to buy a delete kit to totally remove it
Hilarious 😂 great review 💪
Sweet! Ive got a stage 2 GTD too, is your exhaust system straight through? I’ve still got my middle resonator on but did a backbox delete, after hearing this Im thinking the middle is time to go 😄
@@Ej-en2lz im based in Malta but you will need a DPF & EGR delete, induction kit first then a new map.
I've got a stage 2 dpf deleted, no Backbox and no middle resonator, doesn't sound like his at all, because I still have the Cat, I'm guessing you really need it full straight through for this sound
What bhp are you getting from the stage 2.
@@moby3412 dyno’d at 225
did the dpf delete put an engine management light on the dash
@@ggcpf2874
Hi,can u tell us how we can find those rims? Are awesome
What exhaust setup do you have
Well stuff lad fair play 👍
Thanks king
Is the dpf removed?
245 to the wheels? Total bs. Stock fuel pump and turbo max out at 235-240 crank.
Bros calling bs over 5hp💀
He did say 220 on another run
Would it pass NCT with the exhaust mods?
Can anyone tell me how he got it to sound like this? I really want my gtd to sound this mean but i cant seem to find anyone to tell me how.
2.5” turbo back straight exhaust with hardcut limiter mapped in
We have stage2 mk6 gtd in family and at 45mph it gets 95mpg!
I get 45 mpg on a stage 2 7.5 gti
S3 2018~ or this Tuned GTD?
Having budget tyres on the front of a performace diesel is inexcusable!
I don’t know why i’m watching this video now…
I already bought this car 2 weeks ago
Would u reccomend a company for a remap? Have a mk6 golf 2.0 tdi dsg 140bhp
Hey absolutely, we work with a company at the minute if you'd like us to send you the details on Instagram or facebook?
stop/start isn’t dangerous, in a manual the start up should be quicker than the time it takes for you to put it in gear. In an auto it should be on by the time your going on the accelerator. If it doesn’t manage to do this within that time frame, it’s either a horrible system on that car or your starter motor/battery isn’t running great. In my BMW, the engine is on by the time I haven’t even fully let go of the brake… amazing system and I get much better fuel economy with it on. (It’s an auto)
What camera are you using
We'll find out from our camera guy.
Camera we using is canon R5 with external recorder Atomos Ninja V+ , lens for that video was canon RF 28-70 f2.8 😊
does this car have cam belt or timing chain?
Cam belt
Cant understand how your gettin these hp gains from a stock turbo ,a scaffolding pole and a remap, the engine design is physically incapable of it without a hybrid turbo and a uprated fuel pump and bigger stronger valves and collets even then its 240bhp max , the cams are unswappable these engines vw have installed are to fuel efficient for there own good
Nobody can defeat the GTD
The only down side is the oil consumption 😅
Have a 172 GTD looking to get it mapped anyone you recommend?
Not sure what country you're in but we got boostworxx in Ireland to do ours
I have 254 HP at the moment and 563NM but it´s not the end :-D
Nice what mods have you got done?
@@rambushdoeswhips i have parts from Darkside development, but you also have to rebuild a few things on the engine, such as sensors and so on, so that it then also goes in the direction of 300 hp, but those are all things that you have to find out a bit for yourself. 🤫🤫 but a tip, the original dual-mass flywheel can't stand the power 😁
@@kaiwenzel6681 erzähl keinen Müll.
@@Ej-en2lz i have change my turbo and many other parts from my engine
@@Ej-en2lz and the Company is Not "Devil Development" so they have the Name "Darkside Development"
You lost me at 245 to the wheels😂
How has your clutch help up with the stage2 power?
Just had to replace the master and slave on mine, hydraulics issue - getting the clutch inspected too just in case. Problem only occurred after going stage 2
🔥💯😎
Cant wait to get rid of mine they are too boring
