I had one of these back in 2005 when I was in England. The clutch went and it was impossible to find the parts to repair the clutch as it was automatic with a manual stick.
Die Halbautomatik verhält sich wie ein Opa (oder es hängt von ihrem Gasfuß ab...) - mit erhöhter Drehzahl in die Gänge rein. Und ich weiß nicht ob das dann so bequem ist wenn ich darüber nachdenke, wie mein TDI den Golf durschschüttelt, wenn er aus geht.
Evolt It’s not quite a mild hybrid as there does not appear to be an electric motor that drives the powertrain at all. It simply turns off the engine while coasting and while stopped, even mild hybrids use an electric motor to assist the combustion engine during acceleration and to regenerate electricity during deceleration.
Evolt No, it is not any type of hybrid. There’s no electric propulsion in the powertrain, unlike something such as the early Honda IMA mild hybrids or the Chevy Malibu Eco mild hybrids.
So ahead of its time
Es kann so einfach sein... ecologische Autos und schöne Frauen alles in einem Auto vereint!!! Die Braut ist der Hammer!!!
Das hat mit Automatik Getriebe nix zu tun da kannste auch selber schalten! Automatikgetriebe hat immer ein wählhebel un keinen Schalthebel!
Talking about C02 way back then...why did nobody pay attention? Think about it now... DAMN
Tacker tacker tacker...da schnurrt der alte Saugdiesel...

I have an Golf Ecomatic
Felix Bardehle what like is it for reliability? With that clutch set up ?
@@hamishmoar8064 until now there were no problems
My dad had one. It broke down years ago. The transmission had major faults. This car was a little too much ahead of its time.
I have also one Golf 3 Ecomatic and two Golf 3 Citystromer
Wow !! Does anyone know if these cars were imported to the united states?
This wasn't. Most Diesel VWs were, but not with the Ecomatic feature.
Vw N.1

Is this something like start stop system
Sort of. Start stop systems don't turn the engine off while coasting, only while fully stopped.
It's a mild-hybrid.

@@MylesV Well, yes. It's something between a micro-hybrid and a mild-hybrid.

Why does Laura Palmer test Golf TDI?
Who is Laura Palmer???
The woman looks very cute @ 5:16 onwards !

What is that very rough note by diesel engine!!!!!
Japanese and even French car diesels of the same period were relatively very quiet!!
Like
"up to 1/3rd less pollution" from a VW diesel.... hmmmmmmmmmm
This was a swirl chamber diesel, no direct injection, and nobody talked about nitrogen oxides!
Geht das auch in Deutsch?! Weil diesen Kauderwelsch versteht keiner!
Doch. Leute die über ihren Tellerrand hinaus schauen ... ;-)
Was is das? Könnt ihr kein Deutsch?!
es soll noch andere Märkte als den Deutschen geben...
