Glad I could help

you cant go wrong with a Golf

How do I find the dsg gearbox

@@GGG-rv9cp hiya..lots of info on You Tube 👍

glad it helped

sorry that reply was for a different question

would hate to see someone get hurt or killed because people cant be bothered to do the right thing

great car, enjoy

Did you get the 1.6 tdi or the 2.0???

wow thats incredible

That is mind blowing!!

that particular car, or one the same?

@@BarrieCrampton same car, except it was a manual not a DSG gearbox.

that's a great idea, am just trying to put a few ideas together to help people buy cars without getting ripped off

dont get me started on electric handbrakes, stupid idea

i think you should get a manual til changing gear and matching engine revs, clutch control, etc all become second nature then you can graduate to an automatic

@@BarrieCrampton best advice

it wears out all the components like ring gear, flywheel, starter motor, engine mounts, you have to have a different battery, and it has an awkward habit of cutting out just before you are about to turn right, or pull out on to a roundabout in in front of oncoming traffic, and just delays you long enough to put you in danger (thats my opinion)

Alex in my opinion when anything breaks on a car it is usually when its starting up, as that is when all the components are at their most stressed, every time the car starts its putting extra strain and wear on the starter motor, flywheel, ring gear, battery, alternator, waterpump, engine mountings, cambelt, fanbelt, crankshaft, pistons, valves etc, a modern car now starts and stops thousands of times more than one without stop start and believe me you can tell, they feel loose and well worn, also the amount of fuel it saves is negligible compared to the cost of a starter motor or dual mass flywheel, now a car that has done 100,000 motorway miles feels less wornout than a car thats done 5000 miles round town,

Barrie Crampton yes I do see your point absolutely and your opinion is brilliant and I do understand what you mean about the strain being put on the engine , but in my opinion I think that as the cars get more modern and more technology is built into cars and they are built more reliable I think that it can indeed cause damage but in modern cars with better quality built parts for the engine that it isn’t as bad as people think , don’t get me wrong you have had way way way more driving experience than me as I’ve been driving for only 5 years so I’m not 100% experienced or sure on everything but I have put 35000 miles on my vw polo and always used the stop start system and I have never had an issue with it not starting up or anything breaking , I have just saved fuel , I really do take pride in my car and I always inspect it to make sure of any strange noises or anything that doesn’t look right and there’s no issue with it , i also think that engines in this generation have changed so much that I wouldn’t call them propper engines , in my polo it is a 1.2 tsi and when setting off in first it always has a certain precise rpm it will go to make sure that I have enough power to set off but not too much and burning fuel which I think makes the car too technological as to get the real fun out of driving is to show off your skill of getting all the engine speed right by yourself , but hey we all have our own things we like and don’t like about cars , sorry for the long paragraph but I just thought I would mention it , keep up the good work Barrie !👍

4L3X / Alex i accept what you say but all i can tell you is that our reconditioning costs seem to be higher on start stop cars, and when you consider a car used to start once at the beginning of your journey and once at the end, now it can be 10,20,30,40, 50 times during a journey, components are not made 50 times better, and if you consider the costs of the ones which get the most punishment, alternator £650, clutch and flywheel £1000 you can buy a hell of a lot of fuel for that, then theres also material wastage and global warning of making new parts to take in to account. All in all cars these days are not made 50 times better and i would also recommend that the cambelt on a stop start car should be changed a lot sooner too, but its just my opinion Thanks for watching Barrie

Because one day my Focus decided to bong at me instead of starting and I nearly got taken out by a 44 tonne artic.

@@jamesmawdsley7306 yes that is the other problem wiith stop start, it sometimes switches off at junctions just when you were about to set of into a gap in the traffic, it just delays you long enough to nearly get you killed, and i am sure that it will have been the cause of some collisions for sure

Will see how it goes 😎

this year to many people are using knifes and guns in uk whats the world comimg too barrie sorry for my moaning lol

@@craigtrigg4288 yep, too many people want what others have got, but they dont want to work for it, they just want to take it

There is a button near the gear stick that can turn it off, but you have to do this every time you start the car

you wont get a much better car than one of these, although perhaps take a look at a Skoda same engineering, great cars but cheaper and better value for money

@@BarrieCrampton Thank you so much, they dont sell that in South Africa. I was looking at a Audi A3 1.6TDI that is like 25% cheaper than the golf 6 1.6tdi. You think i should take the golf and spend the extra money rather. The golf R150 000 and the Audi is R105 000, both 2011 models

it was " Hit the Ground" by Sam Stray Wood, I helped make a video and take some promotional shots for her, and liked her songs kzfaq.info/get/bejne/b9ljiJyTz5yRdo0.html

@@BarrieCrampton wow, thanks. It's a really nice song. I imagined myself listening to it in my new Golf. After watching your review I have fallen more in love with the car. The Mk6 will be my 3rd Golf after Mk3 and Mk4

in my defence he was!

Its just funny the way you said it. I can tell your one off them driving that cusses when someone does something dumb. Its makes me laugh. Keep up the vids!!

Too many things, not enough time but the main ones are it stresses all the drive train components thousands of times more than conventional, a low mileage city car feels like its done hundreds of thousands of miles, they cost more to maintain than they save in fuel, and they have a habit of switching the engine off just when you need it and are pulling out into traffic (imho) ive just replaced the starter motor on a low mileage Porsche Cayenne, £680, and the “Special Battery” which is more expensive than the standard one because it was lazy starting, all thanks to the “stop star system 😂

Oh and my friend is just on with the starter motor on a Bentley GT which is 10 hours to remove and replace, thats a hefty repair bill, i cant remember ever replacing a starter motor in any non stop start cars that i have sold in the last 25 years, then there are the dual mass flywheels that are always going, the battery condition switches, engine mounts, gearbox mounts, shock absorbers, the list goes on, the cost, the energy wasted making components, material wasted, time off the road, etc etc etc

@@BarrieCrampton Can you disable the stop/start function?

Not my figures, Don't blame me

dumbass, thats the uk... doesnt make a difference on the car
