The channel's new project, a unroadworthy Toyota Land Cruiser 200! This Toyota Land Cruiser 200 is far from the pristine condition you’d expect. It’s now in rough shape with extensive damage.

Cum ai invartit volanul inapoi ca sa-l blochezi din moment ce ai scos airbag ul, ai reusit sa l indrepti cu motorul oprit?
Salut. Când l-am indreptat? Ca nu am inteles intrebarea. Ca sa învârti volanul fara sa se blocheze, ajunge sa ai contactul 2 pus
From where did you get it and how much
The navigation brand is MK. 2gb ram version. The person who installed it also sells it, but you can find it on AliExpress
@@AlecOprea how is your 2gb ram version not lagging with android auto wireless? Mine is very laggy only cable helps agains lag.
the cheapest i have seen is around 120 euros on sale in aliexpress mekeda or navifly is the retailer
Hi ! It's not lagging, I can use Waze and run simultaneously a music app (Spotify, YT Music etc. Also using the search function on these apps) with no issues. From my understanding, Android Auto runs on your phone, and the screen is just a display for it. I do have a capable phone (Google Pixel 7 Pro - 12GB Ram) so that might be why it runs smoothly.
@@AlecOprea i have samsung s23 so i am not believing it's behind that
I have the Passat 2003 2.3L V5 and I love it to bits. 125000Km on clock. Queberha, South Africa.
Haha barely broken in
You have a very cool project, I think you should put it the 2013 facelift and no more.
Thank you! I am still debating if it's worth the extra cost. As the front end of the car is not currently expensive to repair (hood polish or respray, front bumper respray, both headlights)
Honestly i think you should keep it stock. Don't give it a facelift coz it looks good as is(after repairs)
I'm starting to lean towards this idea too... Maybe some upgraded led tail lights and other china special bits here and there haha. But mostly stock
Cool car! I think it would be good to make an off-road project.
It would yes, but I already have an offroad Land Cruiser 100 (which I will present on the channel soon so stay tuned), so it wouldn't really make sense to make this one offroad too. Plus, it's too nice of a car (when restored😂) to get scratched up in offroad in my opinion.
buy 2022 kit it will make it b better
Toyota Land Cruiser 300 Kit you mean? Or Facelift 200 kit?
toyotas never betray 💪 reliable as hell
Indeed! It's a shame the situation this car ended in. Hopefully we will see it be brought back to life looking its best in the future videos.
@@AlecOprea yeah, really excited for it
fuck i hope it was a bargain.
The investment will be worth it:) Low mileage for a land cruiser, it definitely still has a lot to prove.
Iv got a 03 b5.5 estate passat 1.9tdi 130 sport and it's absolutely brilliant, nearly 200k and still pulls hard, paint isn't great but still do 70mpg on long runs. Love it.
Yes, I still have mine and I love it. Have been using it as a work horse lately but will plan on restoring it in the future to mint condition
Awesome project, body parts may be expensive so maybe look for aftermarket lights? Can’t wait to see the interior cleaned!
So I'm still debating but leaning towards aftermarket led tail-lights as they're a bit cheaper and look better. Rear bumper is findable, rear lower hatch isn't but I really think it can be pulled out and maybe a some filler to finish it out. That leaves me with the windshield and headlights which are reasonably priced from my research. Other than that, the other exterior panels are either polish or respray jobs. I'm excited to clean the interior too, that will most likely be the next video as I can't work in that mess haha
@@AlecOprea absolutely think you should go aftermarket for the lights. Curious to know how you came across a 200 in this state
Over engineered GARBAGE.
buen video
Gracias!
That's awesome! Can't believe the state that the car is in now... what a shame, but you can restore it for sure, with A LOT of work. As for the problems, sounds like you have a body control module issue, as well as maybe a transfer case module issue? I saw the 4Lo and the center diff lock lights flash. As for the mold, be very careful! You can get sick from it. I suggest pulling the carpet because mold can hide pretty deep. All seats, all plastic trim, all carpet, all insulation out and washed, and replaced if needed. Can't wait to see the next episode on this project!
Thank you for your tips. I need to get a diagnostic tool to properly diagnose it, but I do believe some of the important modules are affected as there's too many issues for everything to be independent. I plan on cleaning the interior before I start to work on it as it's difficult to work on it in the current state. So that should be a video coming soon
@@AlecOprea Hi, nice car, i just want to emphasize the point of mold. Mold is dangerous to your health. It has spores which get into your lungs quietly and they settle there long term, and the slow irritation that results has potential to cause various diseases. Clean that thing out 100% thoroughly.
Thank you for your comment. I will be careful
Great video! Can’t wait to see the steps of getting it cleaned!
Although it will be a disgusting job, I'm excited to get it done too
Great video, really helpful. I needed to get the steering wheel off to replace the clockspring and you explained it very well! I dont know if you realised at 5;13 in the video you left the torx bit in the column nut. I did wonder if this was why the horn wasn't as sensitive? Thanks again for the info :)
I did take it out haha! Good eye:) And i'm glad my video helped you!
Arka koltukta fenerbahçe amblemi var
Evet!
Hi! There did u get that steering wheel?
Hi! It's the original wheel that I got reupholstered. But the quality of the leather that was put is bad, after 1 year, the steering wheel leather is in very bad condition sadly. I will have to redo it with more premium material
Hello, this might be dumb question but how do you handle the negative terminal on sub? Shouldn’t it be routed to like the fuse box or battery? I’m planning on buyin Alpine SWE-815 and any help would be great, wish u a great day.
Do you mean the cable from the sub or the amp?
Piece of shit car .I had one 18.t ,the worst car I ever have ....
claro amigo 1.9tdi los mejores 1.8 son los peores
What problems did you have? 1.8t always seemed as fun project cars for power mods in my eyes
Creo que los 1.6 son los peores
@@AlecOprea Chain ,timing belt ,valves ,maf sensor ,generator ,turbo - leak.of power ,check engine lighting always ,bensin pump i can't remember all ...piece of shit car.😱
I have one and i hate it 😂
Whyy??
На ауди 100 с4 тоже есть 1991 год 💪
These features never came as standard in VW Passat.
No they did not. I said that these also are not standard in 2024 cars. To show how advanced VW option's were for its time
@@AlecOprea ok, right.
The secret of the B5 is that it was an Audi.
Was it ? Or the other way round😅?
Romania 😅
🇷🇴🇷🇴🇷🇴
Mine has 430k kilometers and it only has the 4th turbo 2nd gearbox 3rd clutch 2nd tandempump 2nd cylinder head new exhaust 2nd passenger window lost the key once had reserve key inside....oh and about 20 new tires per year 😂😂😂
Daamn what are you doing with it?haha
Only one on my 5 year old Passat 😢 I also only have 3 heated seat settings but that’s really cool
e tiganie ce ai facut tu acolo cu legaturile alea...
I had to replace my m4 bc i crashed it i bought a 2006 Volkswagen Passat 2.0 FSI 4Motion B6
Sadly the b6 weren't as good as the b5.5 reliability wise (only the 1.9 tdi 105hp and 2.0 tdi after 2010 were)
Thanks, this video was great help installing mine, got the power cable easily through the triangular hole in front.
That's great! I plan o rewiring mine too
❤😂😂😂😂😂😂romanaia
🇷🇴🇷🇴🇷🇴
mine starts up at -18°C in about 4seconds😂
Mine used to start up slower too when cold even after changing spark plugs. I once misfueled and accidentally put gasoline in it, around 15 litres i think. After the car used it all (mixed with diesel of course) and i changed the diesel filter, the car now starts no problem in cold too😂 probably the gasoline cleaned the engine haha
@@AlecOprea crazy😂
Some of the passat b5.5 have heated back seats.
Yess, and heated windshield. Rare options
@@AlecOprea for the windshield i did know they have 😃
Those features weren't standard on that passat either 🤡
Not saying they were!
Cruise control wasn't standart on these, neither was the central heating.
Never said they were!
❤❤❤
These passats are my childhood. We have 2 at the moment, both wagons. But they have been parked for a while, one was parked when we bought a p2 xc90, and the second one is needing a new clutch and wheel bearings. Absolute units, and plan to get one of them as my first car. More comfortable to drive than the xc90 and my grandpas 1st gen forester.
Really good first cars. Cheap to maintain, good proportions. It was my first car (still have it but got other cars with time)
я бы кабель питания завёл в коробку с мозгами он сразу попадёт в сало к педалям
Thanks 🎉
Do the 35i
Too bad these have issues with leaking into the cabin
All of them are solvable! If you have a sunroof, check the sunroof drains. Check the drain under the battery tray (you must take the battery out and the tray that holds it. My drain was clogged and caused water leaks, once i unclogged it, they were gone). Also, check the door seals, rain might leak by the window regulators.
Hello! I was just wondering whether or not you remember where you bought the frame for your stereo, been looking everywhere and I just can't seem to find it anywhere from where I live (Sweden)
Hi! I didn't get any frame for it! I just pushed it in. Do you have a passat B5/B5.5 ?
Just today bought one b5 1.8t for 1200€. Love it
Good price! How many km? Manual?
@@AlecOprea 236 000 km and manual ofc
Nice. But sorry, my 24yr old Lancia Lybra Station Wagon has the same features, plus a BOSE-HiFi-System, a Navigation System and a formidable multi-link rear suspension, which the Passat lacks and which makes for a much swifter handling and cornering!
That's impressive!
I have one with 1.9 tdi 131 hp engine with 600000 km and it runs like new. It doesnt want to die
Mine also has the 1.9 tdi 131hp, but still young at 265,000km! Don't let it die! Take care of it, it deserves it:)
@@AlecOprea yes brother! Best car ever! 🚘
I drove a 1.9 TDI 130 HP during my trip to France in 2010 and it was a fantastic ride. Very well built car.
Thanks for the video. I bought this steering wheel for my Škoda Octavia. Leather is still good. Also bought a new gear cover. Škoda had an original leather cover in their shop. I agree it looks 100 times better. Now need to get the steering wheel working with the ŠkodaAuto DX radio. A.k.a. The VW RNS DX. Greetings from the Netherlands.
I love this multifunctional steering wheel. It suits the car better than a 3 spoke sport one in my opinion. Hope the video helped!
nu merge legat la siguranță de la poziții de ex?
Se poate si asa desigur!
bro bro bro hold up the phone my dad has the exact same coler and car so you cant be talkin
Haha what?
All but the 5 options for the seat warmers are on my 2014 tdi and it’s a se.
Just goes to show that you don't need more than these options. And think about it, your Jetta still has the same options as an SE than a 10 year older Passat
