@@antgeorg yes it happened. There is a time I had to replace the top engine portion that has the combustion system and camshafts. But all in all, you can replace anything in the engine compartment and this car gets alive and strong as new.
Test Drive Freak, You're Fantastic! These are the best Reviews!! If you can also find a Golf 4 1.9 TDI 150 hp. When I was younger it was my favorite car.
Had four of them: With 18, my first car, 1.6l 100hp, gearbox damage . Then a 1.8l turbo with the small k03 turbo 150ps, stage 1 to 200hp, solid but sold it cuz I needed more. Then a 245hp with a k03s and finally one with a Garrett GT28 with 290hp. The latter was ruined by an old woman on the German Autobahn. Had all of them between 2005-2009.
It was still available in Brazil for many years after that, it only got discontinued on the Golf mk4.5 in 2013, but lived on the Jetta mk6 for a couple of years more.
It’s beyond me as well, the easiest guess is that it might have to do with emissions - which it still doesn’t make sense - since the 1.8t lived for many more years and this 2.0 NA was released way before in the mk3 golf.
My first car, bought at 80,000 km pushed it to 310,000 km before selling off. That NA' engine is amazing!
Nice,did you notice any oil consumption and if so how much every oil change?

Thanks for the answer,I have also read in forums that this engine is really bulletproof!

@@Senderson-et9fq Sounds like nice upgrades over the time, 2000s was a good time for cars.
Nice dass du auch alte Kisten zeigst
My 2001 1.9TDI hits 180 no problem, really hate changing something that still works that good.
I had the 1.4 (75hp). It was a good car
That car also has a GTI with same horsepower but with manual gearbox in NFS Underground (2003)
I played that game
That's actually pretty rare car - 2.0 engine on Golf mk4 in 2003 is not often found.
even more with 4 speed tiptronic

This motor needs more oil then gasoline 😀 But very reliable
Bester golf überhaupt 👏🏻
What was the point of the 2.0 115 ps if there was already a 1.8 125 ps ?
Back then you had so many engines all with the same performance 😂

1.8 turbo: hot soccer mum racer and GTI trim
@@arminsteinke2301 i‘m not talking about the 1.8 Turbo i was saying 1.8 N/A engine with 125 hp WITHOUT Turbo

Would be great if you can get your hands on a 1.6 engine of any model with 102HP and 5 gear manual !
Golf 4 was my first car. I've had 3 of them in, one of them being the 2.3 VR5. Golf 4ever
2.0 as manual is good but as automatic they making many problems and swallow much more Benzin than with a manual switch
please search and testdrive un passat whit 1.6 ALZ engine from 2002-2003, thank you
yes! 👌
What type of gearbox is?
tiptronic 4 speed, aka 4 speed torque converter automatic
This car was a tank
