1991 Volkswagen Passat B3 1.6TD Test Drive After 17 Years

[@germanmafia]

As a German, i am filled with proud to see a VW Passat B3 just simply needing a few liters of diesel, a handy mechanic, new tires, just to drive around it. Love it! Please Rebuild it! So much nostalgia! My Father used to have one as a company car in the 90s!

Nice message! 😁 Your English is very good, however, in the first sentence using the word 'pride' is more correct than using the word 'proud.' Hope this helps!

[@satan2k]

Thanks for this mini series. We had exactly the same model, revision in my family during the 90s and this brought me so much memories. It was not the prettiest, not the fastest, but it was indestructible and reliable. We had it for 275.000 KM, and at the end, it still had its horse power. It was built to last. I'm sad our kids will never have the opportunity to witness the same level of quality and engineering anymore.

There is something magical about that sound of old non-common-rail, pure mechanical diesels. This rough sound makes it feel so robust and dependable. Unlike modern refined common-rails which sound almost the same as petrol direct injected. They are usually a lower displacement too (I have 1.4 CRDi). I mean, they are a lot smoother, but I'm not confident they will last as long as this old TD. But that's how capitalism works. Companies always try to find a way to make product cheaper yet still have some minimum expected performance and life. Now cars can last less than 8 years, but they are cheap enough you can buy new one every 6 years. In the past it was a lot harder to buy a car like this, but it served you for 20 years if you wanted. Many of those are on roads today. Also old mercs and Golf 2-3 is not uncommon to see.

DIMON1358 My Dad had one of those from 1992 to 2012... An india red metallic estate, 2.0l 115hp petrol engine, GL trim. Boy, do I have fond memories of that thing... While being butt ugly, it was an undestructable tank of a car. Got the familiy through various holiday trips to Italy, France, the UK, Spain... That car definitely saw the world! When I got my drivers license in 1998, I had my own share of adventures with that car. In the end it had over 360000 km on the clock with no major defects (an just a wee few minor ones) and no rust at all, when my dad finally got rid of it... Not because it finally broke down, but he just wanted a new car after 20 years! They don‘t build them like this anymore!

Что-то около 700$ из живого были - салон и кузов без единого следа коррозии в родной уже облезающей краске (и фары родные даже корректор работал) вложил ещё баксов 500 (мотор, ходовка, выхлоп полностью, сцепа, полиуретановые сайленты... и по мелочи)... И всё - расходы кончились. Потом только ездил пока не продал))) Потом пожалел тысячу раз - пусть бы просто стоял. Но когда надо что-то оттащить, выехать в ебеня - была бы машина, на которой встань хоть в жопе мира - есть все запчасти, чинится молотком и разводным ключом, в салоне места - хоть жопой жуй и тёплая что хоть в Сибирь!
