Finally Flexiny fixes a car that I actually own! I have a Canadian spec 1992 Mk 2 16V GTI in Tornado Red that I have owned for many years. The Mk2 was one of VW's best and I used to work on them everyday at my job years ago (sadly most are gone now). The similar Jetta models were near indestructible when equipped with the turbodiesels. My sister achieved 770,000 km in her '91 before the transmission blew up, and the car was a bit too rusty to repair. The engine however ended up in an old Suzuki 4x4! Great cars!
These Golfs were the nicest IMO, surprised most things still work on it. Just remembered the parking light on either side that came on depended on which way the indicator stalk was placed. That dog is hilarious !!!
YESSSS!!!! Finally a Golf on this channel! Golf mk2 base model!!!😍😍 wish this was a GTi though because GTi is my favourite model!!♥️♥️♥️ I’ve got my pride and joy Vw Golf Mk4 GTi and that was my first car!! One of the best cars I even driven!!
No GTI's here, just a standard, good old MK2 Golf GL, and was nice to see it driving around after a fair while, as usual from you. The rear plate was certainly very faded out, almost thought there was not one on there & the steering wheel was utterly filthy, that's for sure.

I had an ‘87 golf GL in college. Same color but a 4 dr. Manual, no power steering, roll windows and crank sunroof. Bought for $600 from a neighbor. Great car definitely got my moneys worth out of it. Now I just bought myself a grey ‘23 gti 40th anniversary edition : )
My dads Golf GTI mk2 lasted for 650k km till it started burning oil. At that time (2002) it wasnt worth it to spend so much money repairing the car so he had to scrap it. I miss it. I was born in 1997.
Uh... The newer ones are pretty nice actually. Have a 2019. It's great so far. The Mk4-6 era had interiors that fell apart and funky electrical problems. The newer ones mk7+ seemed to have shed those problems.

My dad had a VW golf 2. It was 1.6 petrol. Those cars are pretty strong and endurable. I think it had over 500 000km. But 1.6 Turbodiesel is like a tank.
my grandpa still has his golf 2 with the 1.8 petrol engine and sometimes i take it out for a drive just to appreciate it, as it is still in very good shape because he looks after it a lot
the best golf:at time was the more compact car whit morbid materials,and the biggest space of interior,a fruit vendor in my city bought it in the first 80 s and still use it to sell fruit, a car of 36 years that still go whithout problems and interior not ruined, virtually eternal

One of the best cars vw has made! i´m hearing the hydraulic valve lifter´s making noise.. but maybe i´ts old oil, or a stuck oilfilter.. but a repair is not that expensive. im driving myself a golf3.. and its a cheap way to drive a car.. you can fix everything by yourself und spare parts are very cheap. :))
yep !!! In A MK8 or eGolf you can't touch your hand if you don't know to program computers because of the many electronics and sensors even a mechanic who is specialized for 40 years cannot fix it while this old car even someone irrelevant can fix it them self because no electronic or sth it's all plain
true !!! in modern cars parts are expensive and you need to order them from a dealership and wait from months while in old cars you can find cheap used parts without waiting for imports
Hi. Nice episode. I like this Golf 2 and I would like to drive it like that. Overall, Golfs are always fun. I saw that the engine was overheating in the Golf and immediately knew that there was a problem with the radiator fan that does not start on a hot engine. I think this problem should be solved. The next time you unscrew the cap from the coolant tank, unscrew it very slowly, because there is such pressure in the cooling system that if you unscrew it normally, you could burn yourself.
I had 1988-89 1.3CL 5 door in red it was a lovely car with no rust and didnt have any problems really apart from needed a new speedo which I got from a scrap yard, but eventually head gasket went on her.
I used to own a VW golf MKII 1.6D. Amazing fuel economy - 4.5l/100km. After I changed to a newer MKIV 1.9 66kw - it seemed that I had driven the MKII on fresh air, not fuel 😄😄 Of course - less comfort, less safety - but the main goal - to get from point A to point B was fulfilled.
@@JunkVWs depends where u are. Theres still quite normal amount. Only that price is gettig higher a bit. Once ill get my license, hipefully next year. I might try and get it asap.

80s cars from German manufacturers had some fantastic durability. Same as BMW E30, MB 190. Also Toyota Corolla models of these days were nearly indestructible
@@alexandremarino2003 i had it on a skoda estelle just bypassed the switch to toggle switch on dash, it meant i had more cooling as i used it more than it would operate normally, estelle engine were often ruined by overheating, so i made sure it never happened to mine,i owned 3 never had an issue.
Back from the time when Volkswagen made good economy petrol engines, apart from the injection system, mechanically speaking these engines are indestructible. Just change the oil and it will run forever
Restore it! New Wheels New Interior LED headlights Repaint! Remove old engine put 1.8 T 150 from Audi A3 and this car will go beast mode!

It's a common Problem with the thermo switch if Radiator Fan is not working, perhaps Thermostat too. Nothing worse
true
Well just when I was about to go to bed, Flexiny uploads a video! Might as well watch it before I go to bed!
As my mentor taught me back in Russia, when a car doesn't start - either there's nothing to burn or there's nothing to ignite with.
Golf 2 can even stay 20+ years without touching it will work just like new😎
