The MK4 GTI is more than a chassis, it's a lifestyle.

I had a 2001 Golf TDI that I put 393K miles on before I sold it. I still have regrets about selling it, even though I wound up buying a mk7. There was something great about the mk4 - it was modern while still being a bit simpler than the cars from today.

Great vid, I’ve had 4 GTI’s plus a Mk4 R32. Couple of things to check and it’s happened twice to me with different cars and also my friends is the clutch pedal weld snaps so the pedal goes right to the floor...easy but awkward job to do but I’d buy a spare just in case. Also the secondary air intake system can split, the early cars didn’t have these (agu code for example) but again it’s happened to me twice. It happens for about 10 seconds on start up until the unit seals again then it will just stop, very loud and embarrassing 😂. Have a look on the net, might just help a little 👍

Great video, didn’t know that bout hydraulic steering being sought after? Also was expecting more videos after this one on the golf gti
@motorthoughts
@motorthoughts 3 года назад
Thanks Sean, will be doing some vids on the Golf soon! Electric steering is better for fuel economy as hydraulic relies on some power from the engine which is why it's been heavily adopted. Hydraulic steering has more of a literal connection to the road though compared to electric, have a read of these: www.caranddriver.com/features/a15122019/electric-vs-hydraulic-power-steering/ www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/features/no-bum-steer-importance-steering-feel

also the GTI has a stiff suspension so you will feel it over bumps etc

Lol no, MK4 Golf suspension is THE WORST. Doesn't matter if its the GTI variant or a TDI. MK4s drive like a boat

The insurance on a Golf GTi in general is quite expensive but especially for new drivers so I'd bare that in mind. It'll probably cost you more to insure then the actual cost of buying a Mk4 Golf GTi so probably not worth it maybe wait a couple years or get a different version other then the GTi? Have a look on price comparison websites and see what you think also bare in mind the annual tax for the car is £300. If you want a fun old school first car maybe have a look at the Lupo GTi should be a lot cheaper to insure and is a lot lighter then the Golf so could be a lot of fun! If not maybe look at an old Seat Ibiza or Leon from the 2000s? They share parts with old vws, are cheaper to insure then a Golf and they're good cars! Hope this helps :)
