- A treasure-trove of VW goodness! Shows the Wolfsburg factory line where the Mk2s were assembled, explains improvements over the MK1 Rabbit such as aerodynamics and engine mounts, and goes over some service info like removing the headliner, radiator and condenser, fuel level sender and CIS transfer pump, drip moldings, and adjusting the door gaps.
I think the footage of the factory is from 1983 or 1984, just after production of the MK1 had stopped.
Content is not mine, and is presented for the VW nuts everywhere!
Cool Video! So much is still the same.
#HumbleMechanic You are VW active evrywhere 😉👍
Charles!
This reaks of 80’s awesomeness. From the transition effects to the midi music. I love it
Wow! I started as a VW dealer technician in 1986……This brings back a-lot of memories
Man I rode home from The dealer in 86' when my dad bought a brand new '85 Vw Golf GTi 8v. Next few monts we got my moms 86' Jetta Gli. Family was hooked!
.
i just bought a 92 Jetta, this has some great info!
I was a Vw tech and worked on some audi in the dealership for 5 yrs up until last summer, looking at this is pretty cool. It's crazy how some things really haven't changed much. Volkswagen really never did too many drastic changes over a period of time. A good example would be radiator access, the entire front end still has to come off. Great video!!
I owned 4 jetta 2 and 2 jetta 4 , loved them to bits.
Owned two used and have a new one now. Drove plenty over in the years (mother owned two as well). It's a shame we get neutered engines. When I lived in Germany I drove a base model MK5 Golf and hit 149 MPH (240 KPH). The Scirocco was really fun as well.
holy shit I love my Mk2 even more now.
I have a 1985 VW Golf GL MK2 in India and it still runs and gives me more than 25kms/Ltr Diesel😊. It's so lovely to see this video
Vdub Westmoreland baby! Chrysler started the place in '69, and sold it to VW in '76. Closed in '88, and Sony manufactured TVs there until early 00s. Now split up for any purpose. BTW 10:30ish in the video, things start to heat up.
Have this car now also from 88,,,96.000miles now,,,wonderful car,,,
I love this as a 1990 golf owner
I know the car is old but an MK II is a car i'd honestly still would love to drive
I miss mine!
This is going to make my MK II ownership a lot smoother. Great video.
Awesome upload, thanks for posting! This will actually come in handy with my 89 Golf.
Yes, but you have to get those special tools.
89 for the win
I've got an 85 jetta gl that my dad bought new. at 165k it still runs excellent. thanks for the video!
I love that they call all the machines, Robots.
This is awesome. Thanks for sharing it.
good show for back in the day
At the 80's they provide information about the maintenance and repairment, but now the only what you see in the user manual is: you should go to the dealer point to repair it, at a robbery price, that's all. It's the same with the credit cards, at the begining it's for free, but then, they start to ask money for nothing.
"Money For Nothing" - hey, that song came out in '85, too! :D
Slick, even robot battery placement!
This are days and years when vw built their cars with integrity..... Is sad to know that mk2 is still the best and the most loved even in this generation.
MK4 is my favorite. MK5 was a mistake, MK6 is nice and the MK7 isn't bad.
Amazing. Thanks from Brazil.
Thanks for posting 😁👍
You're welcome! It's an interesting video for sure!
Fun fact: Halle 54 was later abolished because all the robots failed too often. Today, there is MORE manual labor :)
Have an article about this? I'd love to read more!

Excellent- Thanks for posting!
Those were the days ..... :D ...
I love this!
Very cool video man, thanks for the upload.
Mk2 Golf = most durable car ever made imo.
This is interesting as Roger Weber has worked for WDIV in Detroit (NBC) since 1982. I think the lady is from the Motor City too.
They also tell you how to fix things.
80's and now the germans are the technologic leaders, the best example is Mercedes in the f1
Big 80s, Baby!
Thanks for posting
LOVE VWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

The most robotic machine at British Leyland was the coffee machine

Is this Will Ferrells early career?
12:22 HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE?!?!
i think i have seen my golf at 2:46 :D
07.53 1000mile maintenance checks for valves?
First oil change, remove the prefilter on the gas CIS fuel distributor, and on the diesel add 1/2 turn to the head bolts.
Fuck I want that jacket so bad
They sure know how to design their car that the Japanese don't.
Wicked!! :)
4:20 Batteries are also installed by robots!

The adhesive it applied completely by robots.
10:26 "It's advantage is that it can be both soft and hard." Damn, VW. Why you gotta turn me on like that?
Im in Heaven! :D
I think I saw my car...lol
SOO nice :D
i want there jackets
Maybe cause they all are robots?
vw golf 2 gtd
The GTD was never sold in the USA. We only got the Turbo Diesel in 85 and 86!
'VW" is actually harder to pronounce and has more syllables than saying 'Volkswagen".
Same number of syllables.
Maybe I am a robot.
lol CIS
I love my Volkswagens. This video, is particularly sexual though.
Terrible Reliability.
My MK2s never gave me trouble. My 91 had 430,000 miles on it when it was wrecked!
