On my 3 series the turn signals seem to be decorative...just a little quirk I guess

The keys are laser cut which means that they can look exactly the same but will have very slight variations in the cuts to make them unique to your vehicle and more secure. This of course makes them very expensive to replace.

I read about that wiper thing but never understood how it worked! Thanks for showing us! 😊 I'll be trying that one tomorrow for sure!

I was so confused on how to get my wipers up when I changed them a couple weeks ago, this will definitely come in handy next time they need replacing!

If you look at where the windshield washer jets are there is a small screw next to each jet which allows you to aim the spray pattern of the washer fluid. If you have a euro spec gti that is equipped with headlight washers every time you wash your windshield with your headlights turned on the headlight washers will come out and spray washer fluid on your headlights. If you have your head lights turned off the headlight washers will come out after every 5 or 6 windshield washes. Some US spec mk5 gti's are equipped with the headlight washers but have the fuse for them removed from the factory, if you replace the fuse the headlight washers will work (if equipped). You can reset the service reminder message by holding the 0.0 trip reset button while you turn the ignition to the on position then press the M button and the service reminder will reset and dissappear. Repeat the process right away and the message will return. The mk5 gti actually has a heat/ac vent in the glove box and in the center console. Not sure why though 😁. You can reprogram the keyless entry on your mk5 gti original keys by being outside the range of the remote and pressing the lock/unlock buttons 5-6 times, then unlock the car with the physical key and insert it into the ignition and turn it to the on position and it will self program the keyless entry. Immobilizer chip must match the vehicle, you can't program a replacement keyless remote this way.

Awesome video always have been a huge fan of this gti ever since I've had mine... keep up the awesome work really been motivating me to get back to it

Love this channel seems so humble and actually has skilful cinematography

I have a MK5 Golf GT Sport. Wich i do love. I got so excited when i could hold down a button to open and close windows! Had a good laugh with that one! I also have the same colour as you!

Your Wrong About The Key,It would turn if it was the same, the rfid chip just does the alarm in the door and immobiliser in the ignitionAlso VW would get crucified if they did that !, would mean anyone with a vw key can get in your car and rob whatever they want.

I have a mk5 r32. And when I select reverse, the mirrors automatically dip so that I don't kerb my wheels when parking. Always thought that was an amazing feature that many current cars don't have

I have an mk5 jetta and with the wipers on highest setting when you come to a stop they will automatically reduce their speed and continue to highest setting once the car is moving again.

Thanks for watching! Don't forget about IgnitionTube snapbacks, shirts, and stickers! Make sure to check out www.squareup.com/store/ignitiontube!

I just got a GTI and I had no idea about the window thing! I saw it in another one of your videos and I thought it was aftermarket. This was so helpful!

The wiper thing though, never knew about that. I have an 09 in the same spec as yours. Love your wheels by the way.

cool video, looked really cool the the trees changing colour in the background, keep up the good work.

Thanks for the wiper blade trick, I have own 3 GTI and I still haven't change one of them

as a mk5 jetta owner I agree with most of these quirks, kinda wish I had the same trunk mechanism for my car though as yours eli 😅

Something I know that is Mk4 specific: We have three sunvisors. Drivers, passengers, and one in the middle that blocks the gap between the rear view mirror and the ceiling.

VW 3bg/ b5.5 small sunshade on front of dome lights, little slots on the gas cap, pushing in the head light switch to remove, steering wheel light with indicater light, cooler glove box, micro switch puddle lights, turn key in the door for Windows up and down exc.

Thanks! Ha! I don’t know the wiper blade trick. I can raise my wiper blades next time I was the car. Also, I have a similar problem with the cars Bluetooth connectivity. If I’m in and out of the car it takes a couple minutes to reconnect to my music on my phone. I turned the volume and it come right on!

Saw another video about the glove box. He had a switch in his glove box that keeps anything cool as long as the ac is on. Like chocolate bars or soda or anything you don’t want melting when you aren’t ready to eat it or drink it.

just got a gti i wouldnt be able to open the hatch without this video😂 i have a mk5 gti and my gf has a mk5 jetta

I still can't get over how clean your wheels look in every video:) it's quite the perfect stance for the gti

Thanks for the tips for the wiper and the windows.

I think the arm rest center console rise up option is pretty cool 😎

sweet video man, I was close to getting a mk5 golf

Buying my 09 GTI this weekend love quarks! Great vid! :)

I need to get some foliage shots! Also the Juke has the same wiper thing.

I own a MK6 GTI....and not sure if this is true with the MK5s or not. But upon first glance there are no key holes on the exterior of the car. Only until you pry that little cover off that is at the back end of the door handle, using the key (as theres a perfect sized hole that fits your key on the underside), do you see a place to unlock or lock the car using a key only. Perfect for when people ask you how can you unlock your car when your key fob battery dies.

Just bought one yesterday and I didn't know how to open the trunk 🤣🤣

Didn’t know how to put up Windscreen wiper till now and earlier today I just changed the wipers and accidentally scratched the paint on the bonnet trying to lift the wipers😂

so many of these apply to my '08 Passat. No one ever knows how to open the trunk in my car lol.

Every single thing you said about the VW key is incorrect. -The key cuts are NOT all the same. -All NA cars ( not just VW) use 315Mhz radios but each has a unique ID

I used to have an E90 3 series, and it was the same with the wipers.

My sun roof would not close and I found this one out. If you put the sunroof knob in the close position and push on the little line on the knob it will bypass the safety pinch feature and force close the sunroof.

The cutout in the key is not common to all VW's. You can insert it into another golf but it won't turn, meaning there is a mechanical check besides the transponder communication.

My favorite quirk, when you touch any of the panels and they make a squeaking sound 😂

Dope intro!!

i have a 2004 Mazda RX-8, if you unplug your battery when you turn on the car your traction control, ABS, and power steering will be off and then you have to put the car on Accessory, turn the steering wheel to the left all the way, then right all the way, then center the steering wheel, take the key out, put the key back in and turn it on, then everything is back to normal

Love this channel! You guys got any stickers that you sell to ship to the uk?

not sure if this applies to the mk5: 1, little holder for your gas cap, 2, the sun visors slide out, 3, hooks for grocery bags in trunk

you should make a trip to the wookies in the woods meet in April next year with all the r32s n golf Rs

Dude, you're doing an amazing job. I really enjoy your videos. Keep up the great work. You earned a subscriber :)

Just saying, you can lift the wipers up.. Literally just did it because its going to snow. You slide them with your hand up, and the lift them.

I used to have a peugeot and when you turned the key to start the engine, nothing would happen.. Pretty quirky I guess...

my father's GTI has a mode that when it is night and you unlock it the lights automaticaly switch on

i just ordered my second gti. manual s.

These are lovely cars! Got a bmw 118i 3 door thinking about switching for a 5 door Mk 5!

Do a review on optional extras please

qurkie, yep. i just bought one today. you make cool videos.

what fn wiper blades work best as the ones with adapter never seen to lock in or stick up too high

yup, first time I washed my gti I went to lift the wipers and ended up on google trying to figure it out

what do you think about the Detroit rims that come stock with the 2011 gti

So if you change the computer box and use a key that has been chipped or coded for that computer box in another would it start?

If you want to drive with your headlights completely dark (DRLs off) put your ebrake up to the first click. Mkv Jetta

Is there something special you have to do to get the key to roll the windows up and down because I have a 2007 gti and I cant get it to do that. Dose it have to be hot out?

Very nice looking car. Dealer has not been very professional with me. Lock wiring an issue. Clutch has gone on mine. Anti lock brake sensor rusted and blew out in wheel, expensive. Rear hatch wiring breaks and everything stops working in hatch.

Were u in Sacramento CA recently? I thought I saw u driving

ive done that window thing to my homie its funny as hell he thought he key was breaking

My Volvo XC60 also has the wiper thing

When you turn off your with your headlights off and turnsignal on your parking light in which direction is turnsignal points to lights up. With other side turned off. Thats quirky

My 2006 golf tdi has a tiny sun visor above the rear view mirror.

I own a 2011 Jetta wagen tdi and the headlights have a vw logo in them

that grey machine is nice broth !

My Scrirocco dosent have that to open the back, have to push the button on the key or a button on the drivers door... most irritating thing ever 😅

I had to google how to open the trunk when I bought my gti lol

Too smart!

Another quirky feature is if you play country music in a GTI the motor tends to get rod knock.

Is the window thing a vagcom mod or does it come with the car?

I literally did the trunk thing to my mom before I even bought the thing😂

idk if that first one is true they aren’t all the same i have a service key and it starts the car without a chip in it. plus if your key battery dies then you wouldn’t be able to open it and start it.

my 2006 a4 has an extremely similar key fob

what size are your rims and tires?

Maserati does the same thing with the windshield Wipers. So weird.

I'm about to get my first car, and I'm thinking about a gti cause I'm a car freak and the gti is lit. What model is your car? I'm thinking of getting the 2008 or newer... btw your gti is sick!

That wiper thing is in the manual, so obviously not many knew about it, because for some unknown reason, they don't read their owners manual... :P Guys, always read your owners manual! You'll know more about the car you own if you do, and you should know more.

I can put my old cobalt key in my Grandmas G6 but it won't unlock or start it.

What suspension are you running???

I have a 2000 vw gti vr6 and whenever I close the hood the horn beeps, horn doesn't work when I hit the steering wheel though ;-;

The 1 thing I had about my GTI is you do t really have control of the air vents. It's just up and down.

Following you bro.. where you located?

why does only your left eye blink???

Ever wonder how you can clean your front lights? Turn car on put the lights on and pull the windshield wipers and your lights get cleaned with soap.

The key going into the different car doesn't mean it's the same key. They should be different cuts, all keys of the same type (Honda, Toyota, even house keys like Kwikset) will go into the same hole, but the pins in the locks are what makes it different. If you compare the groves, you'll find them to be different.

Quirky things about the RAV4, actually any all wheel drive car, be prepared to replace the tires every 1.5 to 2 years. All wheel drive means all wheels are moving and it eats tires up faster, to the point where tire rotation doesn't really help.

Something quirky about mk3s is that the obd2 port is behind a little plastic panel to the right of the ash tray, and you have pull the ash tray out and slide the panel off. There's a car insurance commercial (progressive?) with a mk3 golf where they reach under the dash on the drivers side to plug an obd2 reader in. It kind makes me laugh but kind of gets on my nerves every time I watch it. I wonder if they could just never find it or if they thought it'd just be easier to pretend it's where every other car has it.

that opening was epic

You can get the mk5 GTI in blue too

Peugeot 307 has the same wipers thing :D

my quirky thing is when i park my lexus with rims in the city and leave for 30 mins and then come back my rims are gone. such a quirky thing on my car

nothing about the headlight washers?

What year is your gti?

Is $110 dollar for a 'ecs tuning' too expensive? I also own a MKV gti

When are you going to replace the GTI?

Good video but I'd say look at the lens not the LCD screen

the intro song?

What happened to your eye at the beginning there lol.

I have an '02 Jetta 1.8t and the only thing I really don't understand is how VW decided to put only two cup holders in the entire car. Five seats, two cup holders...

Does the window up and down with fob work on mk4 gti?
