With you it's not a question of "will it start?" but rather a statement of "when it starts". I respect your determination.
Correctly 😎👍
Where can I find more information about how to start an older car like this please? I am interested and I don't think he showed everything he did?
I really like this generation of VWs.
If you want to see them everyday you must go to eastern europe(balkan)
@@edinkorajac4623 nek ode u Bosnu ima ih na svaki korak
Edin Korajac we have a 1989 golf gti 16v and a mk3 Jetta trek edition in the PNW, you’d be surprised how many little Volkswagens are out here
@@mizzo2006 Nema kod naš života bez ovih beskorisnih jadnih starih Volkswagen dizelaša, ne može uzbrdo da ide auto.
@@edinkorajac4623 the cars are in central Europe too, but there are they rare...
This diesel sound is basically the anthem of the balkans...
Very well said :D
@@nebitnonebitno1601 ne nego istinito receno hahaha
Plank svaki balkanac u svom zivotu mora barem 1 da sedne u golfa dizela hahaha
@@nebitnonebitno1601 dok ne sedne i provoza ne smatra se balkancom... a onaj sta pjeva pjesmu rodila si majko pravoga balkanca, e taj je poroden u golf dvojci 1.6 tdi hahaha
Plank vozio golfa 5 i 6 dizela,par puta 2 1.6D...kad pogledam onu instrument tablu i volan kod dvice i kad cujem rad motora nekako se osetim prijatno u tom autu skroz
Had a friend with one, no matter how you drive it, it gets 40 mpg
Donnie Diamond same, my boy has an 86 1.6 turbo jetta with a 5 speed n he can drive from san diego to LA and back on like $12 lol
I own one and its getting a bit too slow for modern day traffic you really have to rev to hell out of them to overtake or merge..
Got an 84 mk1 jetta i added a turbo and it keeps up good with modern trafic and even is faster that my volvo 940 turbo
Riki Diki89 just throw your weight back n forth in the seat. Weight shift to gain momentum lol
My old Golf mk 2 TD got up to 135hp. It was a fun car :) Miss it sometimes
old NA Diesels literally cannot break
Because there is nothing to break. It is beautiful, simple mechanics, without unnecesssary electrics, superb engine.
Woah NA diesel? Very little power?
mine broke, motor blew up
@MAXMILIAN POLITTE hahaga sick bro
Yeah and it can't get up a hill either. I'd be happy if I never had to see a NA diesel in my life anymore.
I used to repair these diesels. I didn't see the yellow glow plug light come on. Check the strip fuse located on the firewall behind the intake. When you put in new heat shields on the injectors, you can check the glow plug functionality. Make sure you use never seize on the injectors when you reinstall. You could have primed the system easier by pressurizing the return line(just a little). When you do the timing belt, you need to lock the cam in position, lock the pump sprocket in position and loosen the cam sprocket. The cam sprocket is a tapered fit. If you don't break the cam sprocket loose, you won't get proper timing(which is set with a dial indicator on the back of the pump). Repaired correctly and properly maintained, this engine will run another 200K.
Wow, I'm surprised a naturally aspirated diesel of this vintage would have glow plugs.
Or more! We had a red mk2 golf gti 16v with over 500,000 miles!
@@alexkaiser2839 You'd be surprised how many JDM diesels do not have them.
chase w i have a vintage mercedes 508D/608D truck/van and its a direct injection 3.8 liter 4 banger without glowplugs
@@Vespastendert since its a Mercedes and not a JDM diesel I'm not all that shocked. Mercedes is pretty cutting edge with what they put in their cars.
Love the sound of VW diesel.
Somehow, I knew you were going to bring that old girl back to life. The mosquito population probably dropped by 50% when she first fired up! 🦟
🤣🤣
😆😆😆😆
dvs1145 😂
Too funnt
Nice i just bought a 88 Golf, petrol, 10 years without a start, I just filled it with a gallon of petrol and some starting gas it started right up, quality in these cars👍
Cracking the line at the injectors to purge air usually helps if they've been sitting awhile.
That engine will easily do another 100,000.
and way more, I love these reliable diesels
Not with that blue smoke, it is burning oil
Early VW engines are almost bullet proof, got to love them.
Early?
These are pretty modern engines compared to an 1938 vw beetle
Currently running 1990 turbo diesel, 385,000 km. Took it from Ontario to Vancouver and back 3 yrs. ago, no sweat. Crossed North Dakota @ 120-130 km/h. Tough cars. Watch fluid level in transmission, if seal leaks you can lose 5th gear.
This old school diesel engine sound...Great! Deutsche Wertarbeit Folks!
they where good But the Best most reliable diesel engine in the world that I know of are the Lister diesel I do not believe a better diesel engine was ever made, their single cylinder stationary 5KVA generator and or water pump engines they would all, over last their owners, car diesel engines I only had VW n Peugeot 1 VW 2 Peugeot the Best was the Peugeot, ops n my Peugeot 1.4 diesel powered Ford Fusion n an Astra diesel powered by a Japanese 1.7 diesel dangerously SLOW but 100% reliable, my Golf MK1 15000cc diesel Great to drive engine very happy to rev economical too but was bored out to its max by 100000 miles, its the first time am driving a Petrol car since the mid 80s cause I can't effort a Euro 5 diesel n at my age the miles i do are too LOW to justify the extra cost, anyway all cars are miles more reliable now than 60s cars diesels i prefer
i love the sound of those old diesel engines!
I had one of those and they were loud. I pissed off my neighbor during a summer job that I had to leave the house at 5AM.
I love these old diesels. My grandpa had a rabbit. I think 84. I would love to have one of them one day. That thing should run forever.
and dirty cheap. My '91 Golf TD needed barely 6 litres to make 100 km.
Man, that was awesome to hear that engine purr! Gotta love diesels!!!
Gotta love how well she idles the second she comes back to life
I would love to see a full restoration of this good old VW! Loved the shirt too :)
Old V Dubs never die, they just take vacations 🚗
that is cool im a vw guy my daily driver is 83 vanagon water boxer ive had 8 little jettas and golfs non turbo diesels over the years 50 miles to the gallon man there not fast there not luxurious but there reliable and super cheap to run do timing belt keep up the regular maintenance the engine will out last the car o y and the pos battery cable were it goes across the top of the rad they ten rot and fry there awesome find im happy for you keep safe
Had a 92 Golf, thanks for the memories.
That sound when it started :D
just love Oldschool VW´s. So pure and so humble. VW-Driver since 15 years.
It’s always a good day when Vdub is brought back to life.😀
I like the rattle of a diesel...Last company I worked for had a mix of Ford PowerStrokes & heavy duty Internationals. Once a week, I'd do a basic runthrough of the trucks & their systems - the Fords were o.k., but the Internationals were the ones I preferred: punch the clutch in, bring the rpms up, just barely slip the clutch(we had steep driveways, sorry) & those trucks were off to the races. I know the Jetta doesn't have that kind of "get up & go", but it could in the right hands :)
Awwwwww I could practically smell it when it fired up. Had one just like it.
Those are GTI wheels from 1983-1984. They are alloy and pretty soft so easy to tear up if they hit a curb, etc. If they are in good shape, they may be worth $$... I bought a new GTI in 1984 and kept it for 19 years and replaced it with a used 1998 Jetta. love this period Jetta...
It's kinda sad sometimes to see such old and abandoned cars with pristine windshiled! my 2010 civic looks like I was wiping with sandpaper...
Get a new one installed for about 300$ or polish it with detailing compound. Then keep it clean and install new wiper blades.
The difference between everyday drivers and abandoned cars or garaged cars. The latter don't get ozonated every day or sandblasted with road debris every day.
I bet that paint will turn out really well with a good buff and polish!
I looove the sound of this engine!!
Radio comes on and play a song. Cue demonitization in 3, 2, 1...
Got here quick! lol... Just in time to not go to bed!
😁😁 Hope you enjoy! Nighty night!
I had an 1984 Jetta when I was a kid, they were bullet proof and easy to work on.
You got all the cars started!! Incredible
Always wanted one of these when I was younger.
This is a good motor , diesel is very strong .
The knocking you Made was due To using that starting spray, its called pre ignition and using that on those diesels Will usually lead To the piston rings ending up in the oil sump literally🤣
Those engines are almost bullit-proof!!! My wife had a Golf GTD version, and that never let us down. Whe got rid of it because whe wanted someting newer... Awesome little cars!! Now whe have a 2007 Jetta TDI with the 1.9tdi engine, and that is as good if not even better than that GTD.... It now has about 290.000 Km on it and still running like new... Would love to see some episodes on this car though!!! Verry curious how the paint would clean up..... :-) ;-) :-D
Seems you never had diesel engine before, otherways you should know how crank diesel engine , it called pre heaters you'll wait some 10 sec before crank
U have sound warning when pre heaters finish with heating it sounds like "ding" on jetta,golf etc.
@@samedfejzic2854 nah, there's a light on the dash for the glow plugs. When that goes out, then the glow plugs have cycled and the engine should start.
had 1987 Jetta WOLFBRO edition, at 52 years old i regret selling her car today. Awesome CAR!
The engine sounds great when it finally ran keep up the hard work and thanks for the content stay safe and take care
Edited can’t wait to see what you have in store for us all next time
Volkswagen jetta new battery radio still working that's awesome friend full detail top and bottom air the tires also really love videos like this coast to coast
I drove such a 1600cc VW Diesel up to 420.000 km. Same injection pump, same injectors. Just regular maintenance (Air and fuel filter on schedule, motor oil and filter every 10.000 km). I gave it to a vegan friend who added an extra 60.000 km running on vegetable oil. At 480.000 km the car started to fall apart but the engine was still alive and well, consuming 1 liter of motor oil every 10.000 Km.
Man, just amazing. Yes, bullet proof engine.
Awsome, old VW never dies just older and stronger😀😀
Great car to new owner👍
Old vw Diesel engine will start after a nuclear holocaust German engineering at its finest lol 😂
😂😂😂😂
She runs perfectly mate👍
I had one of those a 1997 year. Drooooove cool! Still does.
118000 miles? Those engines go up to 300000 miles without opening, and even after that they can do 300000 more without problem. Definetly worth a save. Great car, i like it very much.
Its ALIVE!!!! Dont you just love it!

Video : Engine started

😁😁😂😂
[Music] [applause]😂😂
i miss my old 86 gasser. she was a beast, a diesel would’ve been nice
I'm renting my place from a guy who was a technician at a car dealership where I worked as a detailer many years ago. On the property he has the hatchback version of this car. One day I mentioned, is this car one of the good deisel VW Golfs? Yup!. So instead of getting rid of it, he did the same thing you did and he got it running. LOVE the sound of a deisel motor!! When your done tuning this car, the new owner will absolutely love it!👍👍👌✌
I had three of these Cars one type 1 and two type2. Nice to drive easy to maintain and a fuel economy whoe. Modern Cars only can dream of
Absolutely!
This thing just reminded me of our '87 VW Jetta Mk2 1.6 TD 44kW made in 🇩🇪 (before 1.8 66kw until it died, owned it from 2004 until 2011) and '89 VW Golf Mk2 1.6 D 40kW made in 🇧🇪 (owned from 2012-2017, planning to return it back).
This diesel generation was the best
Favorite VWs. 85-92. Owned a 92 GTI 16v since 99. I love it. Recently snatched up an MK3 2000 Cabrio. Really nice cars, too. Before they got so bloated. My wife had an 89 Jetta GL manual 14 years ago through college. It was a really nice car with 220k when we sold it still running strong.
I love the fact that you work independently and you always make a plan to solve the issues that irise..🙉
Love those old 1.6. They are solid
This Car is Very Solid
Those engines were a slow as a wet week but very reliable. There was never any doubt about it starting. What I personally would have done was cracked the injector lines loose and cranked until diesel came through, then tightened them up and I'd have been surprised if it didn't start right away then.
He can fix anything love it 😁😁😁😁😁
Well done Sir! Greetings from Germany!
These diesel mk2 jettas and golfs littetaly unkillable.
I get so giddy watching this stuff
Can't Wait to get my 1990 Golf running agian .
Love the A2. Wife and I have a handful of B1 diesels.
Good job (as always). I feel your pain about the broken trunk latch; I once locked my keys in the trunk. It looks like you've got plenty of potential buyers.
That generation of diesel engine from VW was the b est diesel engine ever made! They are indestructible and will always start and run.
Those old vw engines 1,2 1,6 and 1,8 Will live forever just do the ordinary service..
they die of rost issues before the engine dies
My '94 1.8 is at 430.000km no oil consumption. Its all the little things that deteriorate like the vent flap foam😂
I was surprised how well it ran once it started! Tough old motors!
Awesome, very cool to see it come back to life, we enjoy the videos because you’re real and genuine, thanks.
Pure diesel sound. Yes bro.
Yasss 😃
That is some good looking jetta 2
Michael a good tip from a Belgian Mecanic .when you unbolt the injectors ALWAYS push towards the engine !!!!!!!! These cylinderheads are very fragile you can easily break the injector housing SAME for mounting them up again ...in the meanwhile your neigbours are like hey man how come you dont have Mosquitos around your house ??? whell i start my Jetta every day
"Wish this thing would quit" 🤣🤣🤣
Great.... I one of my favourite VW... Can't wait to see more of this car..
Im a little bit surprised how the breaks are not stuck, after 14 years. And also there are some Window Liquid inside the Tank. And of course, there is no problem to get an old VW start again after many Years, there are no useless Sensors, or many electric Stuff in this Old cars. Im happy u get it start again, and wish u have fun with this beauty. Greetings from Germany
Oh they were but with a quick drag they free’d up 😃 they were still dragging a little when we drove of, so will need a good brake rebuild. I know, it looked fresh even with the crack all the way down it 😂 Thanks!
I would love to have a diesel 5 speed. I would have unlimited fuel from the fryers in my restaurant with a slight modification of course. 😁
I have a Mercedes 190d and run Vegetable oil with no modification, summer only.
Audi a5 3.0tdi quattro, 50mpg, 240bhp and its a 6speed in manual. Although the tiptronic version is quicker to 60.
@@christianbuczko1481 the only difference is, that thing is only going to be trash if you park it today and return in 14 years and try to start it
@@christianbuczko1481 what year and what fuel system?
@@fil1329 i had a 2008, b8 version a5 built upto 2012 with those engines. Biggest downside is maintenance, the timing chains and a few other bits can be costly.
I had a 1985 Jetta that was a gas 4 cylinder, stick. I paid $50 for it because the owner lose the keys to it. So when I got it the owner didn't think I could get it started. Little did he know, with a few wires cut an old ignition switch out of a lawn mower and some "polish ingenuity" we were running in about 10 minutes. It leaked oil well leaked is probably an understatement. I had to put a couple of quarts in it every few days, which was just used oil I had in a 5 gallon bucket which I kept in the trunk. Not to mention having to deal with the annoying oil light buzzer that stayed on all the time, I just turned the radio up while driving to drown it out 🤣. The main seal was gone in it. Plus it smoked, ah those were the good old days. This is a cool car, it's the same color as my old old!!!
I got an old golf mark4. Love it
If i lived closer id buy it off you....ive been after one of these for years
Wow, you've made her run. Congratulations. 👍
Had those rims on my mk1 Gti.
I have it on my mk3
Wow, really enjoyed that, bit of a walk down memory lane, had an ‘85’ Jetta, they were built like tanks and such a good drive with a cavernous trunk for such a small car. I’ve honestly seen cars on the road in worse condition than that is now. 👍🏻 awesome!!
Damn this SON OF A GUN idled perfectly
A friend of mine has an realy nice Audi 80 with an 1.6 l diesel engine in it with over 1 milion km on it an it runs like new
I had a 83 Rabbit that i could remove the key while it was still running. Which was great in the winter. When you work 2nd shift.
Those things are a beast.
More!!! Looking forward to the detail and mechanical cleanup 👍
The early Golfs, Jettas and Passats were built to last. Good German Engineering that with a little TLC will give you years and years of service
Wow. Nice car. So glad you fixed it up. Very cool video. I also had one of these and restored it over 4 years and its in a museum now, so its really great to see videos like this, Keep rocking it.
Near me in a lot there's an abandoned 1966 Pontiac LeMans convertible in light blue. Interior destroyed, top gone, surrounded by tires, (filled with 70's pull tab budwieser cans) but the trans and the v8 engine are still there. Someone took the carb
I had a 1986. No turbo , slow but 50 mpg on highway.i called it Little Smokey. Ran great on home heating fuel lol
Great video of Not giving Up !! Awesome !!
Great work buddy! I love these old cars and always enjoy watching these will it start videos!
liked and subscribed... because its a diesel jetta. of course it will start.
I like the "one piece front side window" jettas..
With a lil polish, old horsey will look nice.
Yes and update the 📻 to for good 🎶 and add a good wash to.
Ten seconds in and I already like it. Of course it will start!
That wagon had seen better days 🤣
Here in South Africa we say that if the body is good.....anything else can be fixed. That Jetta is probably worth at least R15 00.00 here. ( South African rands. About 1000.00 us dollars)
Did I like it, nah, I loved it! 'Persevere in hope,' was my old school's motto. Well you certainly did that with this one, and it paid off. I was so stoked, when it finally ran, sitting here whooping with delight, for you! Can't wait to see the new Beetle bug project Shane. :-)
