Breaking My Engine Swapped Mk1 Golf On The Nürburgring!

[@nullflameboy657]

Babe wake up, a new Memphis mk1 golf video!

[@prinscloete8762]

🤣my reaction was “Babe stop cooking, Memphis uploaded a mk1 video”

[@adamtaylor3542]

Babe,Hurry up with my damn sandwhich memphis is on.

[@lynxified]

If you're fitting a new full exhaust, Please look up the O2 sensor placement guide. The way you have it mounted right now can cause water vapour to get into the sensor and break it. This plus having it unpowered will probably be the COD for your previous one.

[@nigelbond4056]

Fantastic video Memphis!! This demonstrates perfectly that even with ‘only’ 120bhp on tap, a light vehicle driven extremely well will give amazing results… providing the exhaust hangs on 😂. Really love your driving style, brilliant humour and ever growing knowledge. So happy you got over COVID and are feeling better 👏🥳🙏🏻

[@grayfool]

Glad you're feeling better and good to see you back. Looked like a great trip.

[@JunkVWs]

Back at it again 👏 love the mk1 content ✌

[@Classiccarbscouk]

That was enjoyable to watch, good for you guys going there and doing what you do! :) The golf held up really well, and the driving seemed smooth and fast! Well done Memphis!

[@henryrodier8024]

Glad your damage wasn’t harmful to the car , when you said cars 25 years old I was thinking all the cars on the track would be that old but it looked pretty hectic out there !

[@andytrujillo2935]

Awesome back seat ride!! Thank you for sharing!

[@KnightHunterStudios]

It's good to hear you had a great weekend overall Memphis! This is one of your best videos yet and the lineup for this years' trip was brilliant (especially those E34's!). Looking forward to the next video! Keep up the great work :)

[@davecoleman7431]

Glad you are back Memphis Great video on the ring and your golf looks superb Cannot wait to see the Saab video Thank for the video

[@AndrewKNI]

A super video. A wonderful few days away. I love to see the 'older' cars ....they are so classy 🙂 Well done M.

[@deebee3901]

Mate, what a journey - thanks so much for sharing it and keeping us entertained! I was hanging out for another episode on the SAAB, but this was a great way to spend a boring Wednesday Winter evening in Australia. I'm looking forward to more content from you especially on the SAAB or Greta! Can you provide a list of cities your drove through from Belgium to Bavaria ( I can just dream of that in my part of the world)?

[@2008tourer]

I bet they just used what Google maps provided ;)

[@benedekludvig2717]

The wideband in your car should only be turned on about 20s after the engine is running. If not it will start preheating the sensor and small droplets of cold water could hit and crack the ceramic filament and it will break again. You could use a timed relay to prevent this.

[@blauwebaksteen]

Awesome track, awesome cars! Very nice to see the Volvo's making an appearance. I should really take mine to the ring sometime, seems like a lot of fun!

[@mrbanyaditse]

Thank you Memphis ... We missed you. Love from Africa

[@adamv242]

Your content never disappoints, Memphis. Those epic road trips and parking lot repairs are exactly what my friends and I were doing in the mid-late-90s with the same cars. Only I never got to drive my A1 Jetta, A2 Golf or Scirocco 16v on the Nürburgring!

[@marko2993]

Awesome!!! I run a Milltek exhaust on my Mk1 and it's not annoying at all. It's a resonated system so it's not any louder than stock. Okay maybe a bit on full throttle...

[@RESTORATIONRESCUE]

Can't believe KZbin hid your videos for over a month from me. Big fan of the channel and how awesome you are doing. Can't wait to see how big your channel can get. Keep it up.

[@FrankParkin]

Welcome back. So good to see the mk1 again.

[@drivingbro]

This was beautiful, imagine how old classics these cars will become in another 25 years

[@ognjennikolic1384]

Great video, hope to see more adventure/trip type of videos.

[@rjung_ch]

14:24 the farmer will surely hate you guys for doing that...

[@davyarthurs]

Glad u had a great time and made it back ok! Think the old mk1 did a great job. Which shows what a good job you did with the build.

[@MrHuismeester]

Sensationeel !!!! Wat een ervaring om eens mee te maken, al rijdend over de Nürburgring ! Je hebt een prachtige rijstijl en over het algemeen erg snel. Leuk dat je ons meenam op dit vriendenweekend en erg leuk om naar te kijken. Jammer dat de uitlaat roet in het eten gooide maar dat los je wel weer op. Leuk om ook de Volvo weer terug te zien en die ziet er werkelijk mooi uit. Kijk uit naar de volgende episode en graag tot dan !

[@wills_hemp]

9:08 This car in Brazil is called voyage, a derivative of the famous goal, which uses an AP 1.6 to 2.0 8v engine just like your golf, just changed R.L of the piston. Today in Brazil we use a product called FUELTECH that helps a lot in the management of injection, eliminating the original ecu where you can create a custom map!. I love your works.

[@jsa274]

Great video, very enjoyable to watch. the variety of cars on your trip was awesome. The E34 5 series looks fantastic, and is a simple yet handsome design, especially compared with the vulgar beaver-teeth styling BMW are making today. Can’t wait to get on a road trip again. Hard luck with the broken exhaust, at least it’s an easy fix!

[@matthewbell1968]

E34 & E39 the best they did, just beautiful old cars.

[@simonscoggins1154]

Awesome that you are back, safe and in good health… not much fun having covid.

[@Ammerstol]

It has been a while man, but finally, jeejee :) Love the video and loved your adventure!

[@jayschuon8330]

Love the little pine tree "G" indicator in the Volvo/Cherokee !

[@marksaunders2500]

Hi from uk memphis 👋👍 what a great way to test the built engine and it performed well too 👌 and if exhaust weld is only only thing that happened then so be it but better to slow down cos if you say hit carrousel and snapped it could of caused a lot of damage I feel as it would of dropped more not just hanging but yeah you did well too mate and once your more confident in the track you'll be super 👌 thanks for your time be safe and see you soon 👍👋

[@Strike86]

That little Golf sounds so good! Hairy-chested carburettor 'DORP' noises.

[@Marno1994]

Waited so long for an upload glad to see you back after your break✌️

[@pellepp9628]

Nice to se a real car on your channel😉😉I have a couple of Volvos, and Bmws, one is a 535 88. I like watching you, greetings from Sweden.

[@TheVintageApplianceEmporium]

Was just thinking last night that we'd not seen you for a while. Glad to have you back and wonderful to see Greta again! x

[@jangielens3525]

Ik heb jullie diene zondag nog zien rijden op de ring, dik golfke en dikke volvo. Chapeau!

[@itsandernow]

THE ACTUAL VIDEO WE'VE BEEN ALL WAITING FOR! OMG! ♥

[@panji7793]

damn thats all a great cars with good and correct modification,not overdone or ruin the originale look,well done!

[@ACDC1998Zippo]

Glad to see you back, love your content!

[@motheolebelo]

Glad you feeling better and enjoyed your vacation.

[@pizletwizzler198]

You'll really want to mount that o2-sensor where your headers go from 2-to-1 (~20'' after the block or 36'' after a turbo). Exhaust-temps help heat the element efficiently and a good power-source will keep them (hi-bank/lo-bank) from getting fouled... ...then convert to EFI, because you're basically there already.😉

[@Rubinho1977]

With the 90’S musik in the car… love that !

[@LearnToRace]

Great to see you back, can't wait to head over to nurburg sometime in my mini

[@seanfinlay7393]

Excellent! Golf looks & sounds great. Nice job.

[@05Forenza]

Both Golf's sound fantastic!

[@1959Berre]

If you can afford it, I would recommend 4-point safety belts. A crash on the ring is no joke, especially without air bags.

[@RodMatheson]

Awesome video and great seeing an 80s retro roadtrip to the ring 👌 The 'wee' mechanical mishaps are all part of classic ownership and roadtrips 😜 no fun if everything goes to plan. I would love to take my mini again, Edinburgh - Nurburgring & back was great fun. Looking forward to see your progress with the Saab, we need to keep these rare classics going. Glad you're over Covid aswell, it's not a great experience 😕

[@nicojager686]

Yeeeeey! A golfmovie!!

[@Markustajahoyrylaiva]

glad to see you back

[@joaquingomez1754]

Kia Orana and best wishes from Rarotonga, Cook Islands. Long time sub and really glad to see another vid. I hope you can keep them going as I enjoy your content and English accent!

[@kyleg4296]

Back at it again with the golf😃...tuned in all the way from South Africa Cape Town👋 keep up the good content!

[@walterbutscher8438]

That's awesome. Looks like you all had a great time. 👍 Stay well and safe.

[@willemp6432]

Hi Memphis. I made a trip to Belgien a few weeks ago. What a beautiful country. Stayed in Bruges...loved it. 👍

[@TheHeeeliX]

You should definately add an aftermarket exhaust with a long tube 4-1 header! I drive a 2.0 8V as well in my MK2 Scirocco, and it really benefitted the engine. I can recommend the Novus Gruppe A exhaust with a Powersprint header. My 2.0 produces 130hp in combination with a 272 degree cam and no modification to the ECU whatsoever, so I'm still running the stock injection. And, as a bonus, the exhaus won't rot away soon anymorre ;)

[@organiccold]

Memphis that Golf is a great machine,even though i like the Volvo Cherokee hahah. The exhaust you can always install a valve for the motorway :) keep going with great videos

[@robertkohl611]

Love this car! Makes me miss my first car, 1991 mk1 Jetta diesel Wolfsburg edition!!

[@Columba_themechmatician]

Can you put performance exhaust on the golf in Belgium? I am not sure what the regulations are there. If you can install performance exhaust, you may want to consider a good header and high flow 2.5" exhaust. Great video!!!

[@davejones538]

visited Nürburgring when I was age 16 it was coach trip from England 👍your a brave and lucky man to drive it Mr Memphis

[@ToyotaLandCruiser]

Not hit with hammer the exhaust, the wideband lambda might damage. It’s warned in many places. The WB sensor is pointing up, that’s not the correct way also. But, as always, good video! Thanks. 👍

[@phil3924]

Welcome back. I was getting a little worried about you.

[@rjrj4617]

Nice video, I would love to drive the ring one day.

[@MiracleMitch]

Always like a Memphis video, nice change up from repairs to thrashing the pants off the cars - Nürburgring is definitely on my bucket list. Just need to borrow a Veyron 😂😂 PS Full stainless for the Golf exhaust!

[@markstorer7204]

Great road trip Memphis, Nice stainless exhaust and a bigger front brake upgrade and I think you'll be sorted .......I always enjoy seeing your friends cars, there are some lovely retro models there, and tastefully modified too👌pass on my comments to your friends, I wish I had a group like that when I was younger (like when all your cars were brand new😱🤷‍♂️😱)

[@leonardgoldberg2879]

Is there a flex piece on the down pipe to absorb movement of engine. The exhaust looked pretty rigid.

[@simonkaczmarek1124]

leuke aflevering , ik heb vroeger bij skytune in maldegem een uitlaat voor mijn mk2 gti laten maken , inox van achter het spruitstuk inclusief middendemper en inoxen einddemper in gti stijl met de 2 scheve uitlaattippen . middendemper heb ik gevraagd om tussen 2 flensen te zetten zodat ik deze kon uitwisselen met een stukje "rechte lijn". Met demper was hij opvallend stil en had hij opmerkelijk meer koppel + leuk pluspunt is dat deze uitlaten volledig met papieren komen voor de keuring

[@brucehowe3477]

Great video! Would love to do the Ring.😍 your car is freakin awesome!

[@kabbeskopf525]

Very nice Video!!!! Love watching those!!!! Well done !!!!

[@edjarvis5405]

20:12 You’ve already started 🍺 😂

[@jimspackman8527]

The same thing happened to my Alfa Romeo 75 there in 2008. I was wearing a crash helmet so I didn't know about it until I started the car without it on. Luckily there was an undertray that kept it off the ground but my journey home was 550 miles to Wales so around 10 hours of driving. My wife was not impressed.

[@tevfiksk3836]

You did a great job on the golf. Now its time to have more fun with this car...

[@fredericvanfraechem]

"breaking" your engine, I think you can be proud on the build quality of the mods you did on your car if this little hickup was you only issue. If I see the buffeting in the sloped corners I am surprised that nothing els broke. You work on your cars to have a good time with them and that is exactly what you had that weekend! so kudos!!!

[@soulfunk3677]

hi, is there any video covering the lifted volvo? i'd love to know more about it as i want to lift my 245 too :) great video as always

[@SamTheSum]

Welcome back!

[@RobbertKlunder]

Nice Club53 flight tag there! ;)

[@imaadcajee]

Sounding great! A microphone in the engine bay for the next driving video will be nice to capture all that intake noise.

[@memphis5220]

Definetely

[@stevenbrown3151]

pmsl at the understeer donut recreation 😂😂

[@kevinw8258]

I think your Golf sounded awesome with the exhaust that you had, I would go for the same again😁

[@manganvbg90]

That second jetta has a nice stance 👌🏻

[@brunopinto4814]

Min 4:53 In the background is the frame to fit into the centre console? Where can I get one ? Mine is gone, someone cut the frame for the gauges to Put a radio 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@urqua495]

Go forward, Memphis !

[@ParFektion]

Great driving man! 👏 I really enjoy your videos, keep 'em coming! 😎👍🏻

[@sadziorek]

13:57 nice sound

[@vincentcomer1688]

We need more of this

[@carltwidle9046]

Firstly I like the song by the music group War with their song Low Rider from 1975. I was a 15 yr old at high school when the song was popular on the radio.

[@AlexanderMichelson]

You are a Belgian legend, Sir! God bless you!

[@padraigrab08]

He's back!

[@jorgencaceres7945]

Didn't I see a small Nürburgring pasted on the right of your binnacle ;) Well done, anyway, to get all those oldies through :)

[@twowheelvalle]

7:32 Haha, I drive with the same music in my 1992 Golf 2. 😂

[@luxtempestas]

Man, I traveled to Germany in June (I'm from Brasil) and do some laps in Nurb was in the plans but not having a car there and the prices/risk os renting one were to high so it stopped me from fulfilling this dream. Next time I will do it, for sure!

[@patrickcannell2258]

That old Golf handles!

[@michaeltutty1540]

Great video, Memphis. I'm curious, though, why an 0² sensor on a car with normal carburetors. I've only had one like that. It was the dreadful 2bbl VV carb on my 1989 Grand Marquis. That O² sensor looks like the engine is running quite rich. That will cause an O² sensor to fail, for sure. That will also kill a catalytic converter in short order, leaving the car strangled and feeling tired. I do my O² sensor every second timing belt. That is one of the reasons the old Volvo 240DL Estate is running beautifully at 617,000 kilometers.

[@imaadcajee]

O2 sensor was used to monitor air/fuel ratio for carb tuning. I guess the old sensor was used when he was setting up and running in the carbs, so the car would have been rich at some points.

[@ardeeljohannes4978]

You playing with that golf.... Drive it!!!

[@1ihnut]

I had that covid too at the beginning of May. Not a fun week. I have a soft spot for Gretta. Probably the only one of these cars I would fit comfortably in. lol I'm almost six and a half feet tall.

[@catvisimo]

the Golf moves well on the track
