Mercedes 240D - Still Fit for Daily Use?
Finally a jetta mk2 video. I love the jetta mk2, even more than the golf. I personnally prefer the sedan over compact car, the boot add some nice sexy look to the car
Here in South Africa, we call FAW - F*#cking Awful Wheels
😂😂😂
I'm not THAT surprised they had MK4 parts in a MK2 CE2 shell, there are wiring guides on ClubGTI to do this, and the CE2 fusebox lends itself well. I had a MK4 PD15 in a MK2, and used Mk3 clocks in that and a MK4 drive by wire pedal.
Absolutely yes. We’ve done it too. But we aren’t the factory! That’s the amazing part.
3:36 take that back, don't equate Sony to people, dont say what you said ever again
They won't be people til they allow cross platform play!!
All vehicles must be scrapped after12 yrs, dying out.
Is that a law in China?
Building the peoples car in China.....those screams are Ferdy's coming from the grave
yes
My first car was an X registered (1981?) diesel Jetta. I had a lot of adventures in that car...
The diesels just go on forever!
Thanks a lot, now i need closure on something i knew nothing about 15 minutes ago.. fascinating stuff.
We too long for closure… maybe some day.
It’s just TOMO’s favorite platform, I bet you Connor wouldn’t spit on yours if it was on fire 😂
Favourite VW platform 🤐
when I see a Han Chung Classics posts on social media, it's always B2 Passats, Santanas. never knew they did mk2 jettas too
If you want to help the environment pollute all you want to just don't have any babies. Each new person you create is a new carbon emitter get a dog. Dogs need homes. People are volatile and toxic these days especially here in America.
We get a digital gauge cluster only on the Golf R 7.5 in the US. What a shame
Good entertainment.....
A legend I'm only learning of now.
I have a mk7 gti but i want one of these so bad 😂
Erm, Ive got a PP 7.5 and for me its not a hot hatch, at least not in the true sense of the word, yes its a hatchback, and it goes, but its to heavy, and not lively enough to be a hot hatch. True hot hatch is XR2, Xr3i, Citroen Saxo VTs, Clio 182, Civic Ep3 etc. Hot hatch should be light, twitchy. small and over powered, twitchy, with lift off oversteer, kart like. Golf gti is a great car dont get me wrong, but its no hot hatch.
The Golf was always heavier and less lively than its contemporaries, they were more solid and arguably better built. By that logic then, there never was a hot hatch golf.
@@427Motorsports Golf Mk 1 and Mk2 16v could be considered hot hatches, it's not just about the weight its how the car handles, the feel of the car. I've got a 7.5 PP and it's a stunning car, makes the daily commute fun, it whisks you along but for me it doesn't feel like a true hothatch.
Awesome cars 😀👌 My brother bought a new silver Golf 2 GTI 16V in the late 80's. I wish he kept it but he always only kept a car 2 or 3 years. I have a silver '03 Golf 4 GTI 1.8T and love it.
I lust after one of those
I drive a 1984 300SD daily and have been doing it since 1990. It has over 640,000 miles. Still going strong. My Toyota Camry, Kia optima, all went kaput
Best car in the world. Fact
What about the 98 300E , how’s these cars as a daily driver
They’re good but biodegradable wiring looms mean they’re ripe for problems
lol, son has Heart set on one , seems like a good summer car for him
Outstanding reportage!
i had between 2016 untill 2018 a 190D 2.5 non turbo. 90hp but Previous owner did something to the fuel pump i think because it was quicker then a W124 300D. It had many issues like dashboard lights that are broken, also with new lamps and new cluster, nothing. a mechanic shop replaced all 10 suspensions arms in the rear axle, 1000 dollar job. After that i got rid of it. Some guy wanted to export it to africa. Be my guest.
The test drive unlimited music is 👌
I just bought a 1985 last Monday. Technically it's an 86 but it was built in 85 so I like to call it that 😂 Nevada Beige 1.6 CL with a grey interior. It's a piece of shit but I love it.
Nevada beige is honestly one of the nicest colours they ever came in. Enjoy!!
haha excellent
Shoot ........missed this one as was out partying on a Saturday night ....ach well. In other news vacuum central locking was got working again during the week so smug factor 10 .
There was also a 1.8T with 240ps / 320Nm
Have a 93 190E 2.6 drives well handles well

Is it transparent sticker paper or just normal white? If its normal white is it see trough enough for leds to shine trough it?
Normal white - because there’s no ink where the white is, it’s translucent enough :)
Carole’s Merc was such a heap At least the guys had bought it cheap 800 miles, from Armagh did they ride When they got there ,,Dad had cried The rust was bad , the smell was rank £170 ???? really not worth a …tank ….. Good effort fellas , and good vidya But probs best we forget this car.
Sorry gents , snoozed off at 3:42 ish .
We don't blame you! Thanks for joining in! 😁
The background music is good
Welcome to k-jet. Awesome vid Tommo, Conor and crew. Great effort
What's the name of the song used for the first 20 seconds of the video? Thanks.
Vangelis' theme from the Bounty!
Rest in peace dear Ewy. Once again you are together with Ursula and hopefullly driving Benzes. What an inspirational life you had, and thank you for making the Mercedes brand what it use to stand for, a forefront of automobile engineering. ❤❤❤
Could you tell me where you got new decal from please? Great vid and I’m just in the process of buying one. Thanks guys. Michael. :-)
Hey Michael! It was done by our local sign writer, they’re bespoke. Cheers!
Why would you bother with a pile of scrap like that it's obvious the Mercedes engine will run but the metal work is unrepairable especially comming from Scotland a good engine but the rest is scrap 😮
Funny
Really enjoyed your little adventure. I also bought a W123e laid up for 10 years and had similar issues with running. Before throwing parts at it make sure fuel return is clear, it’s a smaller pipe than the feed and in my car was blocked solid with evaporated fuel varnish. Good luck!
Is there a part 2 coming out?
I live in the states so I get the better 123s and 124s 😂. I got my hands on a 123 Sedan with the 300d and a 124 sedan with the inline-6 turbo diesel. The speed difference is out of this world. And I agree the 124 is underrated.
Don’t work on cars when you don’t have any notion how to work on them technically .. Stupid stupid stupid . Sorry to say but the end was very disappointing .
Watch any of our videos and you’ll see you’re very, very wrong. But cheers to helping our algorithm!
a descent one for 1500 pounds? Not in here in Holland for sure. More like €7 - 9k.
The passion! Do you still own it?
Thanks for the video.
