it still even have the german emission sticker and all lmao

Why does it even need a windshield at this point. Just glue some transpaerent plastic in the place of it lol

@@indenturedLemon the sticker has now a static function

I've own several MK3, the place where the stick is has nothing to do with holding the windshield together. My guess is they use it to hold the hood up as the original metal bar for this might be missing.

💀💀🤣🤣🤣

I imagine that won't be so difficult in africa.

Don't be sad, guys ! ahah !

would be a nice adventure to make this car like new again :D

@@BruceCarbonLakeriver It's interesting idea seriously. I saw on KZfaq a bmw e36 320i in pretty much good condition driven for many years in Africa. It seemed rust free and I thought it would be a good project to import it in Euro, restore it, and put it an a plateau with a sign that says "This car was once driven in Africa for ____ years."

@@philipgligorov5848 True that. Especially in areas far away from the sea or any snow conditions. Those cars are in a top condition. I thought myself about that. But bureaucracy is gettin' a serious issue then. You might not have any papers since most african ppl don't give a bean on paper work (which is actually quiet pragmatic). But yes, I'd agree to your statement. Btw, it would even be pretty cheap since (lemme say 200€) would be a ton of money for most ppl in africa hence you'd get a car pretty quickly :D

Your A3 is probably somewhere in the Balkans

@@notjimbeam689 As somebody who drives a 1996 Audi A3 8L 1.8T with 312k KM on it, and I'm from the Balkans, I can confirm, they are extremely common here, I absolutely adore mine, it's a really fun daily driver and I take good care of it.

I was about to ask why you didn't keep it for the next winter, but then I realized if you bought it for 250€ and sold it for 500, it is most likely in need of repairs to be allowed on the streets in Europe and thus you sold it.

@@martinweizenacker7129 Gearbox was bad at the End (first gear was broken), Brakes and Bearings on the rear axle where bad to. The Sunroof was leaking in rainy weather...

@@Friedhofstigerchen Goddamn sunroofs. In 30 year old cars they're simply a pain in the ass.

It's not every vehicle. On the streets most vehicles have intact wind shields. Everyday working people are poor they have to work 6 months for a new wind shield. And when they order one it takes 3 more months to arrive at the shop.

@@haramaschabrasir8662 Thanks. Most of the vehicles he drives seem to have cracked windshields, but he suspect he is a mechanic so maybe that doesnt reflect most of the vehicles on street Do you live in Congo? Don't the cars have to pass official inspection?

Yes all of a the car's it's from Germany or France and arond of Europe

Yes

it doesn't even have cap on antifreeze xD

I was thinking that xD

who cares about anitfreeze in africa?

Absolutely, I wish more people had such an outlook

Golf 3’s are lovely cars!

In better condition right? A golf 3 it was my first car

your bike needs a carb rebuild every year wtf?

@@Dodo-yx2ge Yeah, pretty normal for anyone who rides...

@@someone9906 yeah clean but a carb shouldn't need a rebuild every year

@@Dodo-yx2ge I have CV carbs on my bike, like a lot of bikes had oem, and can’t be cleaned properly without removal. The proper way of cleaning is dissembling, cleaning individual jets/needles/passages and then upon reassembling using new seals. I’d call this a basic rebuild, that’s what any shop would call it, and it is necessary on my bike and anyone running this setup should do this once a year. Everyone has their own maintenance schedule that works for them, clearly shown in this video, and if I could go 10 years without touching my carbs I would, but I can’t and most of the people I ride with that still have carbs on their bikes deal with the same thing.

@@someone9906 oh then yeah sorry my mistake

Wrong. The engine is big block engine, and therefore at least 1.6, and it's from generation older car, mk2 golf or B3 passat.

@@mshathlonxp so you said the engine is not native to the mk3, so indirectly you're agreeing with me. I am familiar with the European market and some US variants, other markets may vary I guess. All 1.3 and 1.4 variants, no matter the year, on the european mk3 and mk2 have 3 main retainers for the upper engine cover, but the engine in the video has retainers around the engine cover and the cover style is identical to a 1.8 engine except the PCV valve hole.

@@braptechfun6036 you're partially right, but only partially. Valve cover held down by three central nuts were introduced on big block engines in mk3 period as well - only AFAIK on indirect injection diesels only - others probably reused older head castings or there were no space for those nuts on crossflow head engines. The easiest thing how to tell apart VW big block engine from small block engine is by location of distributor - it's at the end of the head on small block engines and on the edge of engine block on big block engines, apart from 16v engines. The same layout was kept when aluminium block engines with coil packs instead of distributors was introduced, only now with coil packs in places previously occupied by distributors.

Yes, a have 2 cars, one is 1.4, another is 1.8. And the car in the vid is definitely 1.8

@@koshkosh4508 could be just as well 1.6,

yes

Honestly though. Little rough around the edges but still gets you too and from reliably, and with good practicality

yep

Nice cars XD

i was thinking the same🤔.

Maybe they think it's useless, so they "save" costs

@@gosth81 but they aren’t saving cost in the long run.😬

@@beamer8907 What long run? This car will break apart soon

@@Johnny24rs well if they kept the oil cap on it wouldn’t get sand in the engine, and might run for longer.

Yeah, I'm rethinking all my complaints about shitty drivers around here. At least most of them obey the traffic laws. But these people. Absolute chaos XD

if you drive a car like this it dont really matter tho

Good driving skills

In Italy we drive the same way

@@therealperm I'm from malta and I think most people here drive like idiots... but once I went to napoli and was shocked at how everyone drives there haha, 5 cars fit in a 2 lanes, was holding the door handle every second
