Hoovie's like a kid with ADHD whose mom dropped him off for free daycare at the mechanic's shop while she went shopping.

STAY HYDRATED EVERYBODY!

I personally love it when hoovie is on the wizards channel

"Can't afford an Audi? We'll make you feel like you own one." - Volkswagen of America

Hoovie and Wizard are essentially the same channel to me.

0:12 “You’re soothing like Bob Ross of the auto mechanics” That statement is so accurate!

Hoovie and Wizard have great chemistry. I love when they are together.

I don't know who would complain about Hoovie popping in on a Wizard video... I consider it a free bonus! The interplay between the two of them is very entertaining and usually quite funny. Or maybe I'm just "special" enough to appreciate it...

Wizard is like a dad trying to stop his child from messing up the car

I like having Hoovie in these vids because it makes Wizard laugh!

An 05.5 Jetta! This was one of VW's mid year model changes. For the first part of 05 they had the Mk4 style cars then switched to these. This was the first year VW offered the 2.5 5 cylinder motor. I bought one of these when they came out. It's actually a great engine. They really don't have many problems.

I came to the wizards channel from hoovie, my favorite videos of both of theirs are when they are together.

Wizard literally is like the Bob Ross of auto mechanics tho.... it’s kinda soothing to listen to him, plus you learn a lot!

Hoovey has vodka in that water bottle and he keeps refilling it

The dynamic between these two is hilarious to watch. It’s an extrovert and an introvert wonderfully brought together because of cars, and it’s a fantastic spectacle!

The window motor/door control module is a rare item to actually have fail. And you have to make sure it's not only the right part number but also the right "color code" based on the car's VIN number to properly match and be able to talk to everything else on the convenience system data bus (central convenience and electronics module, all the other door modules etc). What IS common, however, is for these early mk5 Jettas to have broken wires in the door harness. VW had an extended warranty for them even because it was so common (but generally ends after the car is 10 years old or older). They have an updated harness that's a fair bit longer that supposedly prevents the harness from bending excessively in the same location, leading to eventual wire breakage. While the extended warranty is long gone, they should still have the updated harness at a more reasonable price than a new door module.

I love how Hoovie kept drinking water right before Wizard said how much the window was so he could spray it everywhere 😂

Wait seriously ? People hate when Hoovie is in Wizard’s videos ? Why ? It’s fun.

I love when Hoovie does a cameo in a Wizard video..... Hoovie should just be walking around in the background touching stuff and playing with stuff, lurking off to the side of the frame, poking his head in and out, and just causing mischief while Wizard is trying to work and Mrs Wizard films..... I'm he does that anyway LMAO

Hoovie and Wizard: The Laurel and Hardy of KZfaq. Wizard "Now look at the fine mess you've got us in." Hoovie "I'm sorry Wizard." (crying)

I love having hoovie in the videos makes it fun also the wizard is awesome 😎

Another person who loves having Hoovie pop in from time to time, makes me laugh. Makes a good foil for the Car Wizards deadpan.

Those 2.5 liters, 5-cylinder engines lasted forever. True, not very exciting to drive but reliable.

Hovie is like the younger brother to Car wizzard lol. My two favourite people.

A 5 cylinder engine is always exciting.

These heave yellow headlights like they always do And the look after that.. *priceless*

Who the hell hates it when Hoovie shows up in a video?? He's like the golden retriever of automotive youtubers.

The only reason Wizard still lives down a dirt road is that he’s skipping the asphalt and waiting until he has enough of Hoovie’s money to have it paved in gold.

Mrs. Wizard..... Could you add the awkward stare of the wizard within your intro? PLEASE hahaha that makes me laugh EVERY TIME

You two working together is great you're like Laurel and Hardy

I still want my credit for Urination Bob title. I won't forget...

The 2.5 is a great engine, reliable and doesn't need intake manifold cleanings.

Wow, Hoovie is strangely taking a lot of sips from that wa- Oh...

i watch both channel equally as often as i can, because so far, these are the only guy who take there channel and job seriously, , love them both god bless them

My sister had one of those, she bought it new and it immediately had oil leak issues. She took it to the dealership five times and they kept telling her it was "normal" for them to leak like that and they told her to keep topping it up with oil which she did, even after the engine blew because of the constant oil leakage they refused to acknowledge that it was a serious problem until she threatened to sue volkswagon canada and they refunded her the value of the car new so she could go buy something better.

How could you not like Hoovie and Wizard together? It's a classic comedy duo of the 'straight man' and the 'wise guy.'

Soon, it will be the Wizard who advertises Hoovies channel. How the turntables :D

Wizard: This is a rusty car. Canadian cars: Are we a joke to you?

This is why I don't mess with Germans anymore. Complicate things that don't need to be complex. Love seeing Hoovie visiting though

5-cylinders are AWESOME!

"Maybe in our little world, we'll have a happy Jetta 2.5 over here." - Car Wizard, probably

It's hard to find a good condition MK5.. I feel like very few people took good care of this generation.

Hoovie and Wizard are like Law and Order. "In the vehicle transportation system, the people are represented by two separate yet equally important groups. The dealers who buy and sell cars and the technicians who repair the vehicles. These are their stories."

I love these crossover videos because hoovie is unscripted. It's almost like the Wizard had to bring his hyper 10 year old nephew to work and it's hilarious.

I remember when I watched hoovie and loved when he'd go over to the wizards Now I watch the wizard and wait for hoovie haha

that intro with hoovie was hillarious, it alone is worth a million views

The 2.5 is a great engine if you don't want to give your money to a mechanic. It's was one of VW most reliable engine. Compare it to any of the recent 2.0 liters.

Wizard check the wire loom that connects the body to the door the wires some of the wires are probably broken they tend to do that. Vw and audi theu all do that. I just fixed mine the person I bought my audi he said the window wasn't working he said he had it changed and was still not working but I knew what it was and fixed it. Let me know if it was that. Good luck.

I had this Jetta not too long ago, I removed the front fender to have it color matched to repaint the bumpers. In doing that I found tons of leaves and dirt behind the fenders which I can see to cause the “patina”.

I love these. My mom has a perfect 2010 5 speed that she never drives. 50k miles on it. I have a 2013 Jetta 2.5 and its a POS rattly ass rough riding turd. These are great cars. I LOOVE the 2.5. They are very reliable and make fun noise. Decent power

Coincidentally, I had that same handbrake issue on a ‘98 VW GTI. Seems the little rubber boots at the rear ends of the cables had deteriorated, letting in water which would then freeze and lock the brakes on. I eventually replaced the cables, and it was actually a pretty easy job. Just FYI.

I think Hoovie and the Car Wizard are great friends. You can tell from there chemistry together. Stay friends forever!!

that 2.5 is the one to buy, that 5 sound is something else

Had a 2.5l rabbit and it was a great started car. Got rid of it before I had a big repair

Every once in a while I think about looking into Volkswagen owning/tuning. I figure there's millions of em'. They're pretty popular amongst enthusiasts, but then I see how much parts cost for these cars and I remember why I'm not into them!

The VW dealership wanted approx $1200.00 US dollars to replace my 2008 VW 2.5 Rabbit vacuum pump and gasket.(the same one in this video).. (this is when my new mechanic - a guy who has a shop since the 1970's, and only works on VW's and Audi's was found).... my new mechanic said, "you don't need a new pump"...he fixed for approx. $275.00. Can easily replace spark plugs, air filter myself... AND that coolant reservoir Hoovie mentioned leaked in the middle ... $35.00 to replace.... My new mechanic said that the rust...(the tiny bit right above front tire)...was from the sound deadening foam located up in the fender, he pulled both foam blocks out of both front fenders.... He also said its a good car, and that he could get a new engine if needed for approx $900.00 ....it has approx 170,000 miles. He has a unique way of checking the transmission fluid, however, have to leave it at the garage overnight....has to be cold....then he adds transmission fluid by temperature somehow.

Hoovie & Wizard collab vids are the best

Seriously, who doesn’t love Wizard and Hoovie together?! They’re like PB&J, they complement each other perfectly.

LOL on that window motor price. . . I briefly had a Jetta - late 90's. Parts costs were astronomical for that car. Things that would have cost me $100-200 for a Chevy or Honda cost $300-600 for the Jetta. Fun car to drive but not fun to keep running.

Rockauto has a re-manufactured window motor for that Jetta from Cardone and its $248. They have a Dorman motor new for $333

Literally the opposite, lol. I love it whenever Hoovie shows up! Heck, I love it when Weeezard shows up on Tyler's channel!

I love how many drinks hoovie took waiting for wizard to say the price lol

I love the interaction between you guys. It's so much fun and so genuine. I was trying to eat dinner while watching and almost spit stuff all over also!

With Tyler, the spit take is not a lost art. He must remember Danny Thomas from his childhood.

My favorite part is how all you guys cameo each other.

There’s a reason these 2005.5 Jetta’s were the $9995 specials they were just junk wizard is the best loved my mark 4s previous gen Jetta’s

I love when they are together. Gets me excited.

Holy crap. We used to charge $325 out the door for the window motor R&R.

Hoovie's the kid that annoyed the hell out of adults. "Don't touch/open that!" He'd do just that.

pleeease bring hoovies more often! Makes your videos so hilarious!

I had an 89 Ford Probe GT have its driver side regulator cable fray and fail. The dealership told me it would be cheapest to buy a used door. Apparently, in order to repair this regulator, it required drilling out all of the spot welds between the inner and outer door panels and then re-welding. They quoted me $600 to do it, and that was back in the mid 90’s.

I love it when someone says something slighty dirty. Wizard giggles like a little school girl every time

Wizard, that window motor is only around £20 here in the UK and Ireland, and it does not need to be coded to the car either, I have changed loads of these., Great channel and content

Used window motor, hold switch down 10 seconds, then up 10 seconds. It'll reprogram

I have literally watched only the first 20 seconds - paused to write this comment - I am smiling seeing both of you guys - you are a nice team duo and keep the good work the way you are :0 greetings from Europe - I have exactly this car - VW Jetta 2006 - I changed the window motor last year myself - and it cost me less than 20$ to get a used one - but working perfectly fine - on a scrap-yard LOL

My 2012 and my daughters 2010 vw beetle have the 2.5. I did the vacuum pump delete kit on her car. Dealer wanted 1200 to do the vacuum pump. I did it 4 yrs later for 200.

Dave’s anxiety levels have gone through the roof with Tyler touching the hood!! Daves OCD would be killing him at this moment🤔

Yes Wizard's even closer to buying that Private Island and his new "Island Wizard" channel. xD

I had the same problem with my 1997 golf, and that is why I will never buy a volkswagen again :) I moved to Toyoya

I love it when Hoovie shows up. Wizard gets a lil' flustered and it's hilarious. XD

Owned a couple of Jettas (not this model though). Great starter or temporary cars. They didn't last long but were inexpensive cars to own short-term.

With Tyler around it's sorta like an organ grinder act! Trying to keep him on a leash as he dances around! heh heh heh Cracks me up.

Having you two together on the video just makes the video complete to me You play off each other so well.

Hoovie and the Wizzard should do a show where they would tell stories of the auto industries. I would be really interested.

Hoovie quitting being annoying that's never going to happen that's why I love his vids

"It's fun to do a video with you" = I'm willing to put up with you for an hour or so a week since your continued patronage is going to pay for my kid's college, my yacht project, the wife's Maserati...

Car Wizard = Bob Ross of auto mechanics. Hoovies greatest take.

Its the door harness not the window motor setup. VW did a extended warranty on it because they knew it was trash but they time limited it and the replacements didn't solve the issue with time. Shouldn't be more than $300 with labor with how cheap the harness shows up online now.

It could be cheaper to find the whole door with the working module on ebay(same color too)

I LOVE HOOVIE being in these videos. Maybe it's the pandemic, but I really like the goofy remarks and light attitude. We need this more then ever!

Love the Wizard - Hoovie interaction. You should be able to buy a whole door with the window motor for next to nothing.

I bought a 3 year old 2004 Passat for my 16 year old years ago. It offered stability control and other safety electronics that were not offered in Japanese and American companies at that time. 80,000 miles, VW dealership checked it out. 3 months later, $3000 worth of sudden repair. Another 6 months go by with another $3000 of repairs. Another 6 months the dash lite up like a Christmas tree. Traded in for a new Honda Accord. VW, the people’s car, Audi expensive parts. VW never again.

Hoovie had his channel for quite some time, he bumped into the Wizard and did some business, and they kinda clicked, as some times that happens. He convinced the Wizard that youtube wasn't a waste of time, now look at the result, the Wizard's channel has gone viral, I wonder why... Together they remind me of the Two Ronnies, but with added mechanical magic... man I need a drink.

I'm sure the truck driver real happy with you ripping his car to bits.

I had one of these (2006, I believe). Was actually a very nicely equipped car, definitely on scale with the GLS models. Should have held on to it longer, but traded for a 2008 Passat SE.

A client's 5 year old 2001 Golf Mk lV broke the cable mechanism on *3* (three) electric winders in a year & a half. Driver's door twice & passenger's once. $400 bucks each, coz they included the motor, no alternative. Wound up buying mechanical winders at a Scrapyard ($30 bucks each) & punching a hole in the panels for the handles.

That's why I prefer my 2000 zf5 F250 manual window ratchets) 420K on the clock and truck never let me down!

i'm not complaining,, Tyler is a good add and a generally good guy. When my 06 Jetta buttons started bubbling i found all of the new replacements on EBay pretty cheap.

You guys are funny together - I love it. We need smiles and laughs.

If your buying a USED Jetta or any VW with these vacuum pumps they do need the gasket replaced around 100,000 or 8 years. The gasket cost $9 & it takes 30 minutes to an hour to replace. The 2.5L is one of the most reliable motors around plus you get decent power & decent gas mileage. The next generation Jetta body style is a lot better.
