They are the best cars ever made. cheap, fun, easy to fix... I own one , 1.3L 55hp (petrol) had it since 2019 (its october 2023 as I post this comment) and literally no problems... never, never let me down once.. Im keeping this one forever. nice video btw.
Wow, that was a quick start! Fired right up, unlike some other classic finds on this channel. 7 years later and more than 30 since being built! Great job!
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!
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.
@@coollol5801 We had a 1994 B4 Passat 2.0 GL Auto, ex dealer demo, that had every optional extra going, on top of the well equipped GL spec. It had full leather interior, air conditioning, heated seats, centre arm rest too with was never fitted to UK cars. It was painted in Windsor Blue pearl metallic.

У моего отца был гольф 2 1.6 дизель ,простой атмосферник,у него одометр просто обнулился ,машина дымила как паровоз ,но ехала ,сделали капиталку двигателя ,капиталку кузова, не проехав обкатки, так продали знакомому ,гольф по сей день ездит ,машине 37лет!надёжней машины, мне кажется, больше не сделают )
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.

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!!
Гоняю на таком каждый день! Именно 1.8 RP 66kw - 90 л.с.! Салон тоже точь в точь! Надежный аппарат! Время конечно не жалеет никого! Однако стараюсь поддерживать и даже по возможности улучшать! Например недавно установил ГУ руля и задние тормоза от ГОЛЬФ-3 с барабанами на 200 мм. широкие колодки (родные на 180 мм. узкие), передние тормоза от ПАССАТ Б3-Б4 - не гремят, как например родные! Главный тормозной поставил от Т-4 с увеличенным поршнем. Коробка от дизеля 1.9 VENTO c инерционным грузом. Четко и отзывчиво включается. Обогрев на зеркала сделал, левое зеркало с антибликовым покрытием на заказ...Ну и т.д.
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 !!!
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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
Volkswagen golf sitting there long time never been on the road German vehicle engine is good condition seats not bad at all new battery air tires stick shift couldn't drive it save my life keep bringing new videos friend bless you happy Thanksgiving holiday season
@@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.
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.
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 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 : )
I love the work of reviving the cars, and I would like to know their fate after you repair them, that part always intrigues me, greetings from Argentina
Great video Flexiny! I really like the sound of your Isuzu Trooper, has a good engine. That dog is great! my collie Fern does the same kind of things. Thanks for your video!

I love how you save those old cars and wash them, bringing them back at least a little bit of their former glory 🥰the dog is also happy 😀
Yes, so true 😎😁👍
Definitely his dog approves! 👌🏻
The dog definitely approves the pressure washing on the car!

The beautiful Golf, classic lines and built solid, What a car 😁
Beutiful car - drives a 1.6 liter 4 door myself, german import ,passed 300.000 kilometers but still drives and no rust problems
I loved the happy dog during the car wash :D
This was from an era when vw, mercedes etc built solid cars....not like the modern plastic, unreliable crap they churn out today.

Had one, with ABS and AC.. I drove it for 10 years. Had to sold it, because of rust, and gas price - didn't had lpg. Best car ever.

Now this is what I'm talking about sweet golf

600k...really??🤔

I used to have a Golf 2 from 91, in dark blue, it was my first car, I really loved it and I still miss it. What a great car. And so trusty.
It started instantly, I'm blown away
My father has a Golf 2 since the early '90s and it works fine.
Golf 2 can even stay 20+ years without touching it will work just like new😎
My favorite body of Volkswagen golf
Love these old VWs. Had to watch. Mint 👌🐸

Wow! you boys can start anything, and, I had a good laugh at your doggy friend who wanted a drink or he wanted to have a go at jet washing.
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.
Гольф 2 супер! Был такой только с четырьмя фарами.
Great video flexiny, great work, another classic bought back to life, great car👍😀👌
Love your videos dude I'm glad you had fun with that car enjoyed yourself
