VW Golf 2017 GTD project DIY part 2 adjusting chasis end cap, fitting radiator pack and oil change.

It won’t let me like the video.

What's happening to the Mk5 golf

The EA288’s cooling system is a nightmare. I’ve got the Seat Leon mk3 fr 184. If you can’t pressure fill the coolant, you want to make sure to bleed the cooling system with VCDS, and want to be squeezing the various hoses whilst engine is at temp and expansion tank cap is off, squeeze the rad hoses, auxiliary pump for heating, matrix and mainly the hose running off from the expansion tank into the radiator for charge air. You’ll probably hear the pump running for a while and gushing around the heater matrix. Good luck and will be subscribing.

Great vid. Ive been playing with my Mk7 GTD today. flushing the heater matrix and replacing bonnet latch cable. Fair play for taking this on yourself. Will be watching with interest how things connect.

While you're playing with coolant, remove the silica bag from the expansion tank. These have been known to split and block the heater matrix. also tye wrap the bonnet release mechanism junction box to black metal frame (Near R/H headlight in engine bay) its attached too to prevent the housing from opening and ferrels popping out. Both of these happened to me in one go!

Hiya. What’s your plans with the car once it’s complete? Thanks

Worth getting someone knowledgeable to give you a hand..

John please get yourself a kneeling pad or some carpet fitters knee pads! 👊👊👊🙏

Nice idea with the wood and threaded bar to pull that back in line 😎👍
