@@Niinkai A car is a bit more important and larger in multiple ways than a watch. It should be maintainable and repairable by anyone who can read, has tools and can get parts.

@@nickiebanchou It depends on the market. Here in Brazil for example, most domestic cars are considered "to have quite a bit of km's" around 200-250k, and it devalues the car a lot when selling it. I personally would not feel too comfortable buying a used car here with much more than that mostly because there is a tendency for people to not take care of their vehicles (a mix of high cost of ownership and low education) and a car with "so many kilometers" probably has other age+maintenance related issues.
@@Lucmatins oh yeah in europe too people are afraid to buy a 200k+kms car and prices go down .... that's precisely when i BUY them because i know they can do so much more if you service them properly :3 people not taking care of cars is also a thing, cheap cars get no love, and fancy cars..... well service and parts is expensive so they also miss a few service intervals, and always have the worst no-brand tires and etc 🙃 but i still consider that a car that doesn't go over 500k, unless ABSOLUTELY ABUSED, is simply a crap car
@@Heidegaffhonestly if something died at that low of a distance I'd never buy from that company again, cars only making it to thay distances is only really surprising with new cars where they might not make it 10,000 before shitting themselves for no apparent reason like any of the stuff more than like 10-15 years old that's still like the midpoint of it's life and if it's one of the old Toyota tacoma like 1/4 of its life cause those things just go with basically no maintenance lol

@@jordanrijsdijk5496the sugar caramelizing onto stuff would be worse than it being a fluid cause you're going to be coating everything in a layer of carbonizing sugar glass
@ caramelizing is turning it into a fluid? Sugar is a solid which due to the temperature melts into a fluid, one that’s as viscous as molasses, then when it cools down after shutting the engine down you get that beautiful glass sheet. But that is also just pure sugar that behaves that way, if there’s enough additives in the eggnog mixture that don’t evaporate you’ll get more of a fudge or even Nutella like texture after it cools down! Your main problem would be the incredibly viscous fluid creating extreme resistance in the exact places you do not want resistance! Like a bearing that needs to move as smoothly and unimpeded as possible because there’s about to be an explosion to deliver more force into the crankshaft and if that crankshaft isn’t in the right position you’d, if you’re lucky, waste the power or if you’re unlucky, push pistons into cylinders or break anything from bearings to the crankshaft itself!
@@jordanrijsdijk5496 when freshly molten sugar isn't that thick of a liquid, it's only once you heat it to the candy making stages that it really stars thickening up while hot, once you get past hard crack you start having caramelization from the sugars begining to brown and since most of that water is going to boil off over time you're going to have basically hard candy being deposited on every surface in there which is most likely what killed it because it's so jammed up with sugar glass that has been formed
@ that is what caramelization is… at first it isn’t that thick of a liquid because there’s still water or other liquids in the mixture…. The candy making stages that you mean is just molten sugar. The browning comes from the temperature during the melting process, the higher the temperature the clearer as long as you don’t burn it but that’s more often than not a heat application thing and not a temperature thing. As long as the engine keeps running it won’t cool down, it won’t harden. Also the fact that there was eggnog left to drain means that won’t happen all together since it’s still mixed with another way lower viscosity fluid. Unless you run the engine until all nog has evaporated and then let the car cool down, which would also take awhile, then you might find a glazing of hard and glass like sugar polymers
what you have done to this poor engine... It's sickening. It cried for help and you laughed at it, and then you kept abusing it keep up the amazing work
I had an ‘04 Passat here in the States that would randomly decide “I have no oil today” and scream at me to stop, then decide it actually did have oil and clear itself. So it giving the oil pressure warning and screaming STOP may not even have had anything to do with the Egg Nog.

VW Golf goes from from sounding like a car to a diesel tractor... Glorious.

Average golf life cycle
23:21 it's not seized - it's cheesed.
Honestly, if anything, this is a good ad for the 1.6 - shove anything you want in it, it'll run for at least an hour or more.
It's one of the most reliable gasonline engines vw ever produced
Im starting to get this vibe that the VW 1.6 might actually be a decent engine with the amount of torture this thing went through!
The 1.6 is one of their most reliable petrol engines
Honestly it doesn't even come close to a 1.9 tdi
UA-cam‘s auto syncronisation feature has to be the unintentionally funniest thing they ever forced with an update.
Never seen a dashboard literally say STOP. 🤣
i like how they both drink the nog out of a bowl like some house cats
I'm not sure about other drinks, but coffee at least used to be drank out of a saucer in the US. Its a valid drinking vessel
James's fix with the eggnog bottle is legendary. What a lad.
True old mate status, even more impressive than the bottle fix with Tony. Wade needs to do the mate equivalent of marrying James, when a guy can do auto repair with a bottle you know you need him around forevs, man. James deserves a nice alcoholic beverage of his choice at least!
As an owner of a Mk6 Golf that I love very much and enjoy driving, this was absolute torture to watch but I somehow enjoyed every moment of you madmen cackling away as the car struggled to live.
The sad part:: Even without Eggnog, these engines love to break. At least eggnog adds some fun to it.
never expected somebody to say "I wonder what kind of cheese is forming on the bearings" but now I have
this was like watching a 400 pound man's heart power through all the clogged arteries until the bitter end
Friendly reminder to not torture a car with AI integrations, when the robot uprising will happen you won't be spared if you do that
"Its like a tradie cappucino"
"Get a bogan cheesecloth"
"Prosepcting for alloys"
Holy shit man, I am deceased 😂
New dictionary term unlocked!
Nogged (Adjective):
When a vehicle is so scuffed that it's comparable to the time Dank put eggnog in the oil reservoir of a Volkswagen.
Man the Goober and Tony are so happy that they aren't the test subjects anymore.
“Oh, it was running, it’s just that the starter motor was faster.” 😂
7:00 well it's gone ...
*checks length of video*
"oh"
VWs from that era are unkillable, I drive a Lupo with 254.000 km and it just won't die
@@Heidegaff to be fair 254000kms is not a lot ...
why should your lupo die at 254k? my honda has 300000 and is totally fine for probably 500 000 more :P
@@nickiebanchou It depends on the market. Here in Brazil for example, most domestic cars are considered "to have quite a bit of km's" around 200-250k, and it devalues the car a lot when selling it. I personally would not feel too comfortable buying a used car here with much more than that mostly because there is a tendency for people to not take care of their vehicles (a mix of high cost of ownership and low education) and a car with "so many kilometers" probably has other age+maintenance related issues.
@@Lucmatins oh yeah in europe too people are afraid to buy a 200k+kms car and prices go down
.... that's precisely when i BUY them because i know they can do so much more if you service them properly :3
people not taking care of cars is also a thing, cheap cars get no love, and fancy cars..... well service and parts is expensive so they also miss a few service intervals, and always have the worst no-brand tires and etc 🙃
but i still consider that a car that doesn't go over 500k, unless ABSOLUTELY ABUSED, is simply a crap car
@@Heidegaffhonestly if something died at that low of a distance I'd never buy from that company again, cars only making it to thay distances is only really surprising with new cars where they might not make it 10,000 before shitting themselves for no apparent reason like any of the stuff more than like 10-15 years old that's still like the midpoint of it's life and if it's one of the old Toyota tacoma like 1/4 of its life cause those things just go with basically no maintenance lol
Finally, someone else who celebrates Chrysler instead of christmas
My parents had a very troubled divorce this year and your car videos kept me smiling even during one of the most depressing times of my life.
Thanks Wade, and James for keeping some of us happy through this year, Merry Christmas and take deserved care.
Wonder what Clarified Butter would do as an engine oil. Since the main issue with eggnog is likely the water content boiling away and aerating itself.
I’d think the main issue would be things, like sugar for example, melting into a “fluid” that’s more viscous than most solid
@@jordanrijsdijk5496the sugar caramelizing onto stuff would be worse than it being a fluid cause you're going to be coating everything in a layer of carbonizing sugar glass
@ caramelizing is turning it into a fluid? Sugar is a solid which due to the temperature melts into a fluid, one that’s as viscous as molasses, then when it cools down after shutting the engine down you get that beautiful glass sheet. But that is also just pure sugar that behaves that way, if there’s enough additives in the eggnog mixture that don’t evaporate you’ll get more of a fudge or even Nutella like texture after it cools down!
Your main problem would be the incredibly viscous fluid creating extreme resistance in the exact places you do not want resistance! Like a bearing that needs to move as smoothly and unimpeded as possible because there’s about to be an explosion to deliver more force into the crankshaft and if that crankshaft isn’t in the right position you’d, if you’re lucky, waste the power or if you’re unlucky, push pistons into cylinders or break anything from bearings to the crankshaft itself!
@@jordanrijsdijk5496 when freshly molten sugar isn't that thick of a liquid, it's only once you heat it to the candy making stages that it really stars thickening up while hot, once you get past hard crack you start having caramelization from the sugars begining to brown and since most of that water is going to boil off over time you're going to have basically hard candy being deposited on every surface in there which is most likely what killed it because it's so jammed up with sugar glass that has been formed
@ that is what caramelization is… at first it isn’t that thick of a liquid because there’s still water or other liquids in the mixture…. The candy making stages that you mean is just molten sugar. The browning comes from the temperature during the melting process, the higher the temperature the clearer as long as you don’t burn it but that’s more often than not a heat application thing and not a temperature thing. As long as the engine keeps running it won’t cool down, it won’t harden. Also the fact that there was eggnog left to drain means that won’t happen all together since it’s still mixed with another way lower viscosity fluid.
Unless you run the engine until all nog has evaporated and then let the car cool down, which would also take awhile, then you might find a glazing of hard and glass like sugar polymers
what you have done to this poor engine... It's sickening. It cried for help and you laughed at it, and then you kept abusing it
keep up the amazing work
You filled the engine with **n o g** and despite that for 90% of the video it sounded better than my, nogless, automobile.
then fill it with nog
You need some nog then, clearly!
clearly the true takeaway from this video is to replace your oil with nog.
Damn get this guy a goober
The sounds of a Nug screaming for mercy as Wade and James sadistically cackle in the background.
28:25 sounds like a Truck now
Ma! The Aussie is torturing cars again!
25:45 James's genius truly is unparalleled. A modern Macgyver, a contemporary columbo, an aussie archimedes
Poetry.
Used VW Golf, lightly used, slight knocking (easy fix, just don't have time), $70,000 I know what I have. Serious buyers only.
Surely it should be "slight nogging".... 🥚😂🤣😂🥚
I had an ‘04 Passat here in the States that would randomly decide “I have no oil today” and scream at me to stop, then decide it actually did have oil and clear itself. So it giving the oil pressure warning and screaming STOP may not even have had anything to do with the Egg Nog.
Sometimes when I worry about the health of my narrowboat, which basically runs in a marinised forklift engine at 5% the stress of a car, I just watch these videos. That always quells my worries 😅
The golf didn't do anything to deserve this 😭😭
I mean it's a VW, so 🤷♂️
It deserved it for not being a VR6, 1.8T, or TDI
@@theussmirageit's a German car and you like war don't you
Mean and my wife have been homeless for a while and we absolutely love your videos they keep us cheery and give us hope
Merry Christmas and I pray that you and your wife will be able to find a home, good luck
Best of luck to yall getting back on your feet asap
I hope the best for y'all! Merry christmas to you guys!
Merry Xmas, good luck and hope for the best guys
"Well loved VW Golf. No lowball offers, i know what I've got!"
Runs great, no problems!
VW is currently researching this miracle fluid to use as a replacement for their failed diesel program.
take it to a vw service center and get it diagnosed
Would love to see that lol
it turned into a 1.9 tdi
1.9 Di*
with all the filings in the “oil” it’s probably been bored out to 1.9 so that tracks lol
turbo nog injection
I'm waiting for the engine to have a hangover.
That wasn't a redback! That one had stripey legs and was far too docile and accommodating of being moved.
Happy that James relocated it.
This video is the pinnacle of this channel possibly one of the best car videos ever to exist. That engine just wouldn’t die next do it to a Toyota those engines are ridiculously durable and I wanna see how long it will hold out incredible
Trying to get it into reverse is what its like to drive a car in a dream
