Volkswagen golf III MK3 cold start after a long time 1.9 TD

Today I restarted my old VW Golf 3. It started easier than expected.
1.9 TD/TDI engines with diesel injection pump from VW were maybe the most reliable car engines. It was disappointing to see 1.9 go off production

I have a mk3 with the exact 1.9 TD, lovely diesel sound

@@dgman2k12.5 same thing, i own one since a month (Golf 3 GTD) and it is really good, only 200k+ kilometers driven before i bought it, and it runs pretty nice, and it does sound nice, i love it the turbo sound when i drop to second gear.

Idk why would leave a car like that, either use it, do a project with it, maintain it, or sell it.

[@adelin3179]

It started very quickly because it is a tank that you plan to do with it in the future

A Panzer I will make out of it 😄
