We have an EOS. TSI. Kept the seals lubricated and hardly any water ingress. Not a drip in the boot. Looked after they’re great cars. Never an issue with the roof and had it 7 years now. All comes down to looking after the car, it will then look after you. Great video.

Look at the light in the middle boot as the sun eats the plastic , just press it in the middle , but be warned in my fall out , check before it kills the roof ECU and motor £ 2k to put it right .More if VW do it .

It is the same here in Denmark.. These were pretty expensive as new cars and still hold a decent value. So people has and still is, taking good care of them. I have traded 4 of them since 2010, and all of them were just like 98% new cars. ;) Cars in Denmark are much more expensive than in England, so that might be the main reason. A well maintained 2.0 TFSI is still £18k.. A diesel like the one in this video would me £7-7½K :)

Pro tip - you need to keep the roof seals lubricated with a product called Gummi Pflege and ensure all the roof drains are empty and free from debris. That way, you'll ensure your roof keeps water tight and working like new. Cheers

That had a lot of kit for a VW of that era (when the feckin steering wheel was an optional extra). But the usual suspects haunted it, clutch/flywheel, rust coming on and roof not working Definitely no surprises and as the engine and box are good you're right, absolutely one for a DIY guy. Thanks for taking the time to put this content out. You make it funny, punchy and the editing is great.

Thanks for that Matt. One of those was on the radar a few years ago to take my Daughter to Addenbrooke's Hospital 3 times a week. The only thing that put me off was the boot space (wouldn't be able to get a wheelchair in) but the spec looked great & it had more punch than the Focus CC that we went for in the end. After what you said about the EOS, the CC was probably the better move. All the best....

@@acorndogs904 I agree 100% on your first sentence, my comment wasn't a dig at the video at all, just my preference. I think the trip to France in the Mercedes was brilliant and would have been even better with more technical camera work but one of the things I like about the car reviews like this one is how honest and 'real' they are, I think you lose some of that if you're setting up extra shots which don't really add much.
@fastra3621
@fastra3621 Год назад
hmmm, not so sure - for a start the black point needs adjusting - lots of detail missing in the shadow - 8:18, the camera is outside looking in so the white compensation is out, hence virtually no detail in the shot, and I actually think the resolution/quality/sharpness doesn't look as good either I actually prefer the one man effort, he'd got quite good at it and it was perfectly presentable and watchable - the single camera point of view was great for showing exactly was he was looking at and talking about - now it seems to be showing more of Matt talking about stuff, rather than showing the stuff he's talking about. I don't think 'tarting' up the production is needed, it was fine as it was.

I bought my daughter an eos as a step up from a micra. Same issue with the sunroof just needed a squirt of wd40 in the tracks above the doors. I'd wager the roof is siliconed closed.

Sad to read so many negative stories about the EOS... I have had a 2008 2.0 TDi DSG Sport gor the last 8 yrs and it's been one of the most reliable cars I've ever owned. It's done 123,500 miles always serviced, with a high spec and a roof that has never let me down. It just sailed through its recent MOT as it has done the last few. I live in Devon so the roof is up and down all the time. It drives like it did the day I bought it... I guess I've just been lucky, or maybe I've just looked after mine

Same here. A car will only perform as well as how it’s been taken care of. It seems like the previous owner of the EOS in this video did not maintain it as well. I love my 2009 EOS and maintain it through scheduled maintenance checkups. I have 136,000 miles and it’s going strong so far. I live in the Washington DC area in the US. I was surprised to hear about the common leaks and smells mentioned as I don’t have that issue.

@johnreeves401
@johnreeves401 Год назад
Got a 2.0 Diesel auto 07 plate, use the right stuff on the roof once a year & never a problem, Only time we had any water in the boot was when one of the drain pipes came off soon after we got it. The rubber surround for the roof motor is a poor design though, the lid section is waterproof, the bottom part is porous!. Best thing you can ever do is sit the rubber motor housing in a tinfoil baking tray, easy done & if you ever are unfortunate enough to get a leak, it will keep the motor protected. Would have loved this one for the Xenon's alone, stock lights are so poor in comparison.

My tip for water leaks. The seals can stick against their mating surfaces and enable leaks. The seals from the factory have a long lasting coating applied which allows the seals to slip against their mating surface but often the rubber seals and bodywork have become dusty and dry for lack of attention, they bind and do not seal well. Try partial opening of the roof and clean and apply something like Armor all protectant for vinyl and rubber to the seal and the metal body mating surface. You would be surprised how often this works. Try it on door seals to keep away water which can freeze in Winter making door opening difficult. Try it on tailgates too, especially if there is a leak, which some tailgate profiles are prone to. Remember clean dusty surfaces of the seal and mating surface first then apply protectant with a piece of sponge. It costs little and does a lot of good and may just save a leaking car.

This is the kind of car that is perfectly fine for someone who would buy it very cheap and fix it himself and then use it.

I had an Eos for 3 yrs and didn't ever have a leak. Was 2l tdi sport and i loved it, only reason i sold was that i needed a more practical car for the Mutt. Was good on fuel , quite pokey and cleaned and treated roof rubbers regularly to stop leaks.

I currently have one and it doesn't leak either, EVER. The timing chain and tensioner was a big problem for multiple VW models, including mine. I love my car and intend on keeping it indefinitely. It's a 2013 at 90,xxx miles.

My brother had the 3.2 v6 sport eos 07 plate with dsg gearbox very quick. It suffered water in the battery tray and roof motor failed. Keep bringing these videos. Can you do a skoda fabia mk2 1.2 tsi video please

In my car collection caper days I picked up one of these. When I got back to the garage the first thing the boss said was " Does the roof work" - Does he really think I was going to test it! What a muppet. my one drove really well as it happens

I own a 2.0 Tfsi and I have to say its an amazing car it’s a DSG with 50.000 miles and it’s an individual edition! Its an amazing looking car in good condition, it does leak a bit….. from the pillar on the front right but it’s a great car, quite quick the only bad thing is the fuel economy, which is….. not great but still very happy with it as it is my first car!

Really enjoying the videos. I've had three VW Golfs when they've been neglected they do cost quite a bit. Would be interesting to know what it eventually cost your mate to put right. Keep up the good work this is a great channel. 👍

Think you've made the right choice there. The bits that are Golf on these aren't a problem, but anything Eos-specific was trouble. The smart money's in breaking it for spares, probably a couple of grand in parts off the wheels, lights, engine and seats, but if that's not your line of business, it's not your line of business.

Ive had my 2008 eos turbo for about 5 years it's got all the upgrades including backup camera, touch screen heated seats and mirrors plus allot more. I love it! It's such a fun car to drive! My top works fine for now but does leak lol im not sure how to fix that or what all i should do to keep it working. But I've only had to replace the battery and one axle since I've had it. I have the red one with tan and black leather interior. Of course in tn i paid $5,000 for it used with 130,000 miles.
