    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!

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.

    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.
