Interesting thanks for sharing

Now the car is history... And so is Luhansk..

@@bennycrash why? isnt part of Ukraine anymore? it has fallen to the russian?

@@coraz98 Now it is occupied by Russia.

@@coraz98 it's basically a war zone now

Totally agree. After a tough day, I'm watching this to relax before I go to sleep.. It works! :)

I was watching and thinking the same thing, i guess in one way we are all the same 😂

Yes is like some tipe off car asmr

man I assure you, working in an autoshop gives me so many happiness

@@eduardkalmanawardze It's true I know how it feels

Year thats why the fenders start to Rust. Clean them and Spray sind protective wax behinde the plastic can save you so much work later

its also common for newer golfs

@@tomastamosiunas9424 I took off my 2007 jetta inner plastic fender and volia! Almost 2 kilos of dirt, sand and mud came out

Y'all talking about the plastic cover for the steel wheels or the plastic pieces of trim on the side of the body?

Indeed, I drive a 1999 Seat based on the Polo 6N, and while this thing is slow and looks really bad (all banged up on the outside), it is so cheap to maintain and to fix that I am never sure that I want to give it up for something newer (not German makes though). It's really hard, if you're looking for a new-ish car to buy, which manufacturer still makes reliable models in the 2010s? Where the spare parts are also not hugely expensive (i.e. I paid 60€ for an exhaust system, but for many cars, it's more than 5 times that!) There should be more cheap cars on the road.

@@Seegalgalguntijak I bought a 2001 Passat TDI estate for £180 6 years ago. Needs very little maintenance and returns 45mpg. older cars are great

@@boxenjoyerkona I can fully agree with your statement, and I think I'll be keeping this car as long as it works. I'm a bit scared as to what happens when the sunroof may stop working at some time in the future (because that is a really important feature to me, rather than having no AC which is only sometimes a bit unfortunate when the windows fog up), but as long as this hasn't happened, I see no reason to replace it. I just know that my mechanic doesn't like working on sunroofs all that much, where the whole headliner has to come out and so on, so yeah - knock on wood it still works.

I drive a 2000 Mercedes e320 and i love that shit

@@rwdmae So people call their own car shit, but don't call their own children shit in front of their face?

with potato, forniture and enother stuff :D

Вы будите ещё и на дровах их катать а бенз 98 будет у вас только мячка) И смотреть как у нас в прибалтике смачно и сытно

@@adulin1976 давно россия стала прибалтикой?) Аггресивных прибалтов я помню троих и все живут в МСК и Питере. Остальные, кто русский помнит-знает, понимают что выеживаться не из-за чего. Но русские.. да, вставить везде надо свои пять копеек чтобы показать какие они классные, а все вокруг...

@Paulie Gualtieri hope so. As i said, they deserve to be saved. And here, old german cars are really cheap. A Passat B3 in a decent shape is 500-800€. In Romania, with 500€ you can buy cars like Golf 2 or 3, Audi 80 b2\b3, some Mercedes from late 90's or early 00 etc.

@@raresiulian1355 Yeah, in Latvia you can get E34's and E30's under 1k still

Wow, they must be in bad condition if they cost under 1k 😀

@@Flexiny not really honestly :))

Hardly unique

Deutsche qualitat!

@@eduardkalmanawardze you dont even need to say its german quality, just say its DEUTSCHER STAHL and qualitat is a given.

@@HeFromNorwayz Ja!

I started to look for one too! What a motivation! Those are pure mechanical vw's, better then b5 passat!

Молодец пацан, хорошую работу провёл. Порадовало что когда мыл мотор, то генератор накрыл пленкой. Это не все делают, а потом начинается гемор пока не высохнет моторный отсек. )))

@@FreakJedi так а что генеру то будет? я не на одной машине мыл и генер заливал с напора авд и ничего ему не было, а вот распределитель зажигания, катушки, провода на свечи, это важно не мочить либо после мойки перед заводкой высушить, иначе будут качели с работой двигателя, если заведется)

@@FreakJedi генератор не зря сделан с большим количеством отверстий, в нем после мойки максимум что будет это немного влаги которая никак не повлияет на его работу

@@MrSubarou , вы видимо не попадали на ремонт генератора ))) в начале 2000х я работал на автомойке , где приходилось мыть двигатели. Поверьте, гену и остальную электрику лучше защищать от влаги и мыть двигатель аккуратно. Неоднократно машины от нас уезжали на эвакуаторе после мойки без защиты электроники. Клиент хотел помыть все полностью, клиент получил чистый моторный отсек с незаводящимся двигателем ))) тут подход должен быть с умом как у парня на видео, нежели сдуру кёрхером мыть все подряд. 🤣🤣🤣

@@FreakJedi генератор тут не причем) а то что не заводилась я согласен, перечитайте мое сообщение, машина и без генератора заведется и поедет, просто не будет зарядки

have you ever owned one?

Wow, never seen with this equipment here. Any videos about it?

@@Flexiny Not yet. Mine was for the European market but the American ones came with even more equipment: cruise control, automatic seat bealts, side impact bars,...

@@pychoncy You should make a video of it!

@@Desynccc There are lots of Passat B3s like mine. The rarest optional equipment is electronically regulated air conditioning (CLIMAtronic), dual airbags (driver and passenger) and, to a lesser extent, cruise control

There is a little a bit rust. This car is not so rusty because it has been standing and not driving on salty roads.

@@Flexiny oh yeah forgot about that part these damn salt roads here are killers

@@Flexiny qqcw

Cars still do last. I live in Bulgaria and we get a lot of German taxis on the second hand market. 2014 E class with 500,000km sells for about 8000 Euro and it's in great condition. With good maintenance 1,000,000+ km is very possible

@@dimiterdakov Those are built to do high miles, not last a long time, when the computers get old the electronics will start to go wrong

My grandpa has a b3 1993 passat 1.9t diesel sedan. Sold in canada, and exported to portugal the same week (brand new). Now that the car is old and my family owns it due to liquidation, Theyre thinking about buying a new car to keep in portugal. So I spoke to an advisor about exporting the vehicle back to canada. It would cost less than $2,000cad. And since the vehicle was sold in canada but now lives in portugal, importing it back to canada means that all taxes are exempt, and it would only cost shipping, and it does not have to be safetied to be imported. My next visit to portugal, I'm going to post pictures and vin on Vinwiki, so that the car's history (and future) can be documented. This car is HUGE (in size), and all 74hp 5speed is very slow. fastest ever gone with me in it was 140kph. I am excited for this project, but my fears of getting it stolen are high since the technology from that era has already been cracked. Thoughts anyone?

I had a 10 year younger (2001) Volvo S60 with a 5 cylinder 2.4 petrol engine, converted to run on LPG. I sold it about a month ago with 450k km on the clock, still going strong. Diesel engines get high mileages much easier as per the Diesel design principle (self combustion etc.) so 315k km isn't really surprising.

@@247Matthew if you're worried about not being able to implement a proper immobilizer, ChrisFix has a video on how to install a fuel cut-off switch. You can hide a switch somewhere in the car that will prevent the car from starting even if the ignition is forced as the fuel system will be shut off until the switch is activated by you.

Well, it is about 200€ plane ticket from Italy to Estonia, so what is stopping you?

@@TerribleB33 LOL my grandfathers 1993 passat (diesel sedan). Theres almost no rust on the car, but the passenger door has been dinged soo much that the rust spots are on the end of the door. (My grandma pretty clumsy

In some of the other videos you can see its got some crust underneath, from what i can tell the worst of his worries are the brake lines, otherwise extremely solid car, love it

Aussies had Holden. So much more fun to drive especially the ones with 6Litre chevy LS. I think they were branded Pontiac some places.
