iv seen this video like 20 times and the other ones too, my car is on repair and i spend my time here learning all about it in here, thank you for this videos and keep them coming! From Lisbon, Portugal!
been watching some videos of you lately and it inspires me to get started working on my Golf mk2 . It could use some polish and all the cleaning you did , love your work man! keep it up !
I really like the method you use "building" up your videos. It may have even more details in it that the detailing itself. Lovely work on the car and on the video.
Grymt jobbat! Den här kanalen bara växer och växer i mina ögon. Alltid lika roligt att få notis om ny video 😁👍. Ska bli riktigt roligt att få följa golfens resa.
a tip when cleaning the "black plastic" that is often seen in the bumpers and so, is to use normal olive oil it works great and im doing it all the time when cleaning my car
HI EJO, you have done a good job again with regard to that engine compartment and the rest that goes with it. I saw that you did not cover certain electrical components with a plastic cover or something like that and I did not think that it will start soon, but yes the old person started peoh hey !! I have often had that I had to dry things up here before I wanted to start my car again. Well on to the next video where there will undoubtedly be a lot of cleaning, ha ha ha Grt.
Time my friend, time. It would have been nice, but I have a lot of projects right now and very limited time. So I just sanded it down real quick, wiped it with paint prep and brushed on some new high temp paint. But yeah, it would be fun to try a "perfect restoration" type of video sometime. 😊
Great work. It'd be nice to see you work on this mechanically as well. Like the breaks and lines and suspension before you pass it on. Cheers from Pakistan 🇵🇰
I own a golf mk2 1.8 gl as well since a few months. Thanks for the video's I am gonna do the same! If you can do it I will do it! Look forward too the next golf videos!
I don't understand people who leaves cars like this to rust outside for years or gives them to the scrapyard. One day they will dissapear. Especialy when this model is discontinued long time ago and Wolkswagen will stop produce golfs at all. Because they will focus on electric cars .. I hope i will have mk2 one in future, it's my favorite. Good job sir.
Nice work. You could have removed some parts to do an even better job, but hey, where to draw a line ? You could have removed the engine as well :) Nice result for sure, well done!
Love the work you put into an old golf, but I'm wondering, isn't it dangerous to spray water on all the loose electrical connections? Even though you disconnect the battery
Thank you. 😊 This is not something you want to do often, as there is always a small risk something might happen. But I pretty much eliminate all risks because I: 1. Disconnect the battery. 2. Avoid spraying directly on the ECU. 3. Spray electric spray in all connectors to drive out any water as well as protect the connectors from future oxidation. Also, the connectors has rubber seals that prevents water from getting in, so this step is an extra precaution IF a seal is leaking in a connector.
pleaseeeee fix the rust in the engine bay! your rabbit is basically rust free compared to most from what i can tell id cry if the rust spread and got bad. its such a nice car!
Bought a new one by the looks of it. Can be a pain, if the studs are seized. I’d leave alone if I were you. Need to bag the dizzy, it won’t like all that water!
@@DoubleOSeven007 Incorrect, EJO says himself in another comment further down that he "sanded it down real quick, wiped it with paint prep and brushed on some new high temp paint."
Looks Amazing! Is it safe to use a pressure washer on old cars like this? Have a MK2 myself and want to do the same job. Im just scared to use a pressure washer 😁
I'd say yes, the older the safer. New cars have tons of electronics that might not like being watered down. Not the same with this golf. But like EJO did, remove battery and idk, maybe cover up the generator? Personally, I don't do either of the two 😁 But better safe than sorry lol
I’d suggest you cover the alternator, HT leads & dizzy cap, ignition coil with plastic wrapping. Not sure why he only removed the battery instead of also securing the above electrical parts.
It absolutely is NOT a good idea. I did it to my car and it ran fine, but a few months later I had tons of electrical issues one after the other, battery terminal failing due to corrosion, starter motor didn't work due to the ground being corroded, alternator not charging due to the ground being corroded, etc. Etc. Unless you cover every single electrical component I say you're better off just hand washing everything.
Is there new fuel in tank? New fuel filter and air filter? This engine has a belt or a chain? If it has belt, you should change it as well. Also change the sparks, cooling fluid, brake fluid if you want drive this golf. 3:40 when you take off this plastic shield, you can clean it and protect it outside of the car - it is much easier to do than mount shield again and doing work on car.
9:09 I tried snapping my Finger a hundred times but it doesnt work for me :( Whats the secret? :D Great video, good job. My engine bay looks similar, I will need to take care of it some time in the future.
Tackar! Nä, detta är ingen sådan flottig klassisk vinylglans. Detta medel är som ett sorts balsam för plast och gummi som skyddar och gör att det återfår den svarta, djupa färgen. Visst det kanske drar åt sig lite, lite mer smuts och damm. Men den är oerhört lätt att få bort, då denna verkligen inte är flottig. 👍
Do you know any other plastic dressing for an old golf mk2? I have a 1989 GTI and cant find a good plastic dressing, I've used some Chemical Guys products before and Gyeon, Gyeon was great, but too expensive and I can't find Carpro perl in germany. And how did you remove all the rust?
Jag märkte i slutet att jag hade kollat hela videon i 480p. Måste säga att bildkvalitén är grym med tanke på att jag inte ens märkte att jag såg på videon i 480p. Var tvungen att kolla om den i 1080p lol. Ska bli kul att följa den här bilens resa! Btw, Vad använder du för kamera/kameror?
Yeah pretty much that 😜 It was so extremely neglected that I had to go very hard at it. A couple of weeks later, everything is working perfectly. Power washing an engine bay is no problems in general, one simply has to use common sense. Dont spray to close, cover up some of the electrical components etc. 👍
You should NEVER use pressure washer on the engine, the water will force it's way into electrical connections and will sit there for days, causing corrosion.. Also generator should never get soaking wet, it can get just a lil bit wet, also you have to be careful with the pressure washer to not get it where the oil stick is and where the oil cap is, the water can get in the engine. Good video but still many things to improve on
hei is it a o-ring or a gasket on the oilfilter housing on a B230FK??? because mine is sweting a bit same for oil return from turbo in to the block. there's a lot of oil around the block and gearbox. it sims to come from the oil Cooler and oil return... jag trodde fråga deg.. volvo mester..
Jeg tør rett og slett ikke bruke vann i motoren min pga jeg er redd for å få mye møkk på reimer og reimhjul. Har du det i bakhodet når du tar en motorvask og titter over alt sånt når du er ferdig vaska?
Took me almost whole winter to clean up from the radiator support to the front of the strut towers on my 91. It looks great , but the contrast where it's not detailed is horrendous. Btw,mineral spirits and a paint brush works great. Dont use a toothbrush it'll scratch the paint.
Why don't you cover the distributor and spark plugs cause i cover mine in my mk1 I need to know cause the 1st time i wased my engen bay my car didn't wanna start
That can be a great idea to be on the safe side. I just decided to full send it with this one, because it was so extremely filthy. Another great tip is to spray the electrical contacts with contact spray afterwards, this removes any moisture and further protects from any corrosion/oxidation. 👍
Should be fine to start straight away. Although I have never agreed with this method. Although all connections are sealed I don't think this is the way to do it. I just clean each part with rags. Yes it's much slower progress but I feel safer not putting water everywhere
Its nearly hypnotic to see someone spending so much love on old cars like this. I enjoy the content really much! I wish u the best in ur further way.
Thank you 🙏😊
iv seen this video like 20 times and the other ones too, my car is on repair and i spend my time here learning all about it in here, thank you for this videos and keep them coming! From Lisbon, Portugal!
This means a lot to me thanks buddy! 😊
Great job!
That oil filter was ancient by the way. It still had VW Audi Logo on it which they stopped probably around the late 90s.
Thank you! :)
Yes, it sure was old! 😝
it's weird since according to registration info of that car it was being inspected until 2018
been watching some videos of you lately and it inspires me to get started working on my Golf mk2 .
It could use some polish and all the cleaning you did , love your work man! keep it up !
Thank you so much, glad to hear that. 😊👍
I really like the method you use "building" up your videos. It may have even more details in it that the detailing itself. Lovely work on the car and on the video.
Really appreciate that, thank you. 😊
1.8 90HP, you can remove the charcoal charnister setup. Very good engine. And those front washers are my wish :D Love the MKII
Kul att man får se annat än Volvo på UA-cam, det är mättat när det gäller det märket. Grymt bra jobb som du gör med Golfen.
Tack så hemskt mycket! 😁🙏
Oj oj vilken otrolig skillnad, ska bli kul o se förvandlingen. Mycket trevlig video👍👍👍😊
Tack så mycket, vad kul att du tycker det! Ha en fin helg! 😊👍
OMG that car engine and the hood looks amazing. Make another video of the car getting detailed.
Thank you! Have you seen all videos on this car on my channel? There is a full detail video on it. 👍
Great vid & what a result! Fully inspired I tackled the engine bay on my 99’ passat wagon. It came up a treat, many thanks man!
Thats awesome!
Thank you so much for the comment. 😊
Super job! Nice touch with the oil change and electrical terminal spray! 👍
Thank you for mentioning that. 👍😁
nice video man, i was wondering weather you were going to cover up any electrical connections / wires but you didnt. brave man!
Älskar dessa videos. Ser fram emot nästa där du utför service och meckar lite med utöver rekond 😍👍
Tack så mycket Eric, uppskattar verkligen det! 😊
Another great job! I am looking forward to the full detail. You have done an outstanding project!
Thank you very much Joel, I really appreciate it. 😊🙏
@@ejoautovideos If you can, would be great to see you get a W116 mercedes and restore it the way you are doing the Volvo and the VW

Tack så mycket! Uppskattar't 😊😊👍
That is so satisfying to watch! Great work 👍🏻
Thanks! 😊
Awesome job! I was in Stockholm for the first time last November. Just starting my 1985 MKII Scirocco restoration!
Nice good luck with your car! 😊👍
Du skulle ha målat ventilkåpan samma röda färg som bilen är i! Bra och detaljerad video som vanligt! Keep it up
Tack så mycket! 😊😊
Ja, rött hade också varit snyggt. Men jag hade en burk silver högtempsfärg liggandes + att de var silverfärgade original.👍

Grt.
Thank you very much! 😊👍
TFR (traffic film remover) is common in the detailing scene in the UK
You should have done a separate valve cover restoration video, Missed that opportunity. Maybe do a nice alternator restoration video.
Time my friend, time.
It would have been nice, but I have a lot of projects right now and very limited time. So I just sanded it down real quick, wiped it with paint prep and brushed on some new high temp paint.
But yeah, it would be fun to try a "perfect restoration" type of video sometime. 😊
Just subscribbed, i love engine bay cleaning videos.
Great work. It'd be nice to see you work on this mechanically as well. Like the breaks and lines and suspension before you pass it on. Cheers from Pakistan 🇵🇰
Thank you very much! 😊
Ser fram emot resten! Hoppas det kommer snart!
Tackar, siktar på det! 😊👍
In the first video about this golf you mentioned some mechanical failures that needed to be addressed. I was waiting for mechanical DIY about it
I'm planning on doing videos about that, just a lot going on right now :/
I own a golf mk2 1.8 gl as well since a few months. Thanks for the video's I am gonna do the same! If you can do it I will do it! Look forward too the next golf videos!
Nice, good luck with your project!👍
Thank you very much, have a nice day. 😊
Great turnaround ! Great work !
Thank you. 😊
Grym video som vanligt, vilket otroligt lyft de gjorde 👌

Great video once again! Keep it up!!
Thanks man! 😁
It would be awesome, if you also did a detailing job inside the car also, it would give it life, to those interiors.
Video on that is coming 😉👍
awesome video you deserve more views
Thank you, means a lot 😊
Great improvement well done!

Really nice! What did you do to the valve cover? Sand blasting?
Just sanded it in place. Nothing too fancy. :P
pleaseeeee fix the rust in the engine bay! your rabbit is basically rust free compared to most from what i can tell id cry if the rust spread and got bad. its such a nice car!
amazing video bro
Thanks! 😁
Need to see how you did the valve cover! Snapping fingers not enough XD
Take it off and paint it
Bought a new one by the looks of it. Can be a pain, if the studs are seized. I’d leave alone if I were you. Need to bag the dizzy, it won’t like all that water!

Vilken förvandling👍
😁😁
Cool video. Did you just spray paint the valve cover
Sanded it, cleaned it, then brushed it with som high-temp paint
perfect finish i like more
Hey man im curious what type of engine does this golf have and whats the year of production whats the model thanks in advance respect.
Is there new fuel in tank? New fuel filter and air filter? This engine has a belt or a chain? If it has belt, you should change it as well. Also change the sparks, cooling fluid, brake fluid if you want drive this golf.

Is that engine a diesel, they are very popular, and with that detailing you do it is going to look swesome,👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
It is a 1.8 petrol, thank you 😊
now i know it's possible to pressure wash the engine bay. thank you. by the way, is your alternator okay to get washed like that?
Yes it is, just let it dry before starting again
Yes, what Alex said. But if you're uncertain, go ahead and cover electrical components. 👍
@@ejoautovideos ah, i see. thank you all!!

God I wish you would disassemble it and restore it and clean it. Fuck it would be so satisfying. 🙆🏻♂️ But you did a fantastic job! 🙆🏻♂️
What about protecting electric parts from getting wet like the alternator? I don’t think it is wise to get them drained.
Bravo!
😊🙏
Did you have any concern in power washing the engine bay in an old car like that? Or was it brute force and if something breaks you’ll fix it after?
Yeah pretty much that 😜
It was so extremely neglected that I had to go very hard at it.
A couple of weeks later, everything is working perfectly.
Power washing an engine bay is no problems in general, one simply has to use common sense. Dont spray to close, cover up some of the electrical components etc. 👍

Soooo detail the top visible parts o& the engine bay, but not at least jet-washed the underside?
Faaan vad jag suktar efter en MK2! Men kan inte mycket om motorer, borde nog bara bita ihop med nostalgin. Det är svårt!
Gäller att slå till nu innan de blir riktigt dyra! ;)
Mk2 Golf engines are pretty bulletproof. The Carburettor versions are also very simple if you wanted to learn :)
Please give it to me men iam all the way in South Africa love your work!
nice job, but i probably woulda changed oil and filter before cleaning the enginebay
Do you have any other 740 videos planned?
Yes, there will be more 740 content in the future. 😊👍
hei is it a o-ring or a gasket on the oilfilter housing on a B230FK??? because mine is sweting a bit same for oil return from turbo in to the block.
there's a lot of oil around the block and gearbox. it sims to come from the oil Cooler and oil return... jag
trodde fråga deg.. volvo mester..
Jeg tør rett og slett ikke bruke vann i motoren min pga jeg er redd for å få mye møkk på reimer og reimhjul. Har du det i bakhodet når du tar en motorvask og titter over alt sånt når du er ferdig vaska?
Can you just power wash your engine bay? I thought it would damage some parts.
Yes, one just have to use common sense. For example dont spray directly into fuse boxes etc.
I needed to go extra aggressively on this one though..
I have looked on line for the elbow grease, cannot find it anywhere, where do you get yours please?
Nice!
Thanks :)
The valvecover has got to be black and the ring on the Alternator was supposed to be the red color. Apart from that great, detail :D
Took me almost whole winter to clean up from the radiator support to the front of the strut towers on my 91.
It looks great , but the contrast where it's not detailed is horrendous.
Btw,mineral spirits and a paint brush works great.
Dont use a toothbrush it'll scratch the paint.
Love it ❤️
Thank you! 😊🙏
är alla typer av avfättningar ok att använda på plastdetaljer under huven?
after all that water that did it start...?
Why don't you cover the distributor and spark plugs cause i cover mine in my mk1
I need to know cause the 1st time i wased my engen bay my car didn't wanna start
That can be a great idea to be on the safe side. I just decided to full send it with this one, because it was so extremely filthy.
Another great tip is to spray the electrical contacts with contact spray afterwards, this removes any moisture and further protects from any corrosion/oxidation. 👍
@@ejoautovideos ohhhh thnks bro i will do that but will a hair dryer also work 😅🤔😂
Красавчик.
How can i Bey this clearner i need this clearner for my 92Ducato sorry my Englisch ist Not so good .
Does the car start straight up afterwards, or do you wait a few days to make sure it's 100% dry.
Should be fine to start straight away. Although I have never agreed with this method. Although all connections are sealed I don't think this is the way to do it. I just clean each part with rags. Yes it's much slower progress but I feel safer not putting water everywhere
Why not Iron Z on rusty surfaces?
