Bringing The Mk2 Jetta Back To Life!! ( Automatic Starter Removal/Install )

[@miguelRao]

Im buying my first Car today. ‘98 Jetta with a VR6 :)

[@FatherxSnipes]

Nice score! How did it go? What color?

[@Bacon__SteezBurger]

Ayyyy welcome to the VW game man haha 🙌🏼

[@stevehd06]

Best car nice option

[@teamphashash]

Great 1st car. Wishing you many happy and safe miles.

[@miguelRao]

@@FatherxSnipes pretty well, the guy was very upfront about all the things I needed to get fixed, nothing serious…yet. It’s all black with 155k miles.

I know this video is older and you may not see this, but I cannot thank you enough for making this video. I'm a Mk2 Automatic Scirocco owner and was having many of the same battery and starter issues. I may not be able to accomplish this as good as you did, but at least I know it's possible with the tools I have. Keep making awesome Volkswagen vids!

[@TA-hn9cs]

Man this would be an awesome daily/winter beater. With general maintenance done, working ac and heat, these cars are tanks. I drove an 86' gold diesel for years as a winter beater. Best car ever!👌

[@golfplatz123]

Congratulations on bringing her back to life. I know the work behind the engine block is tough, but you will now be rewarded for your efforts. Have fun with the old lady😉👍

[@williamreed8639]

I'm doing this starter right now as we speak and this video helped me a lot. Thank you

[@insideoutsa9751]

Well done on staying motivated on fitting the starter Christian. 👏👏👏👍😆. Good to hear the Wagon again in the video!

[@cbaumy3415]

Making huge progress pumped for this car!!

[@J.F.K.O]

had to change the starter on a buddys diesel automatic mk2 golf and the most perfect way to explain the operation is. in front of the exhaust, under the exhaust manifold, behind the engine and above the driveshaft :P perfect position, and the diesel starter is massive

[@aw614]

I believe on some of the 80s VWs some of the automatics, the starter suffered from heatsoak, it might not be an issue with you being up in ND, but I think a relay was needed for the fix. I had the issue on my Quantum way back when I was in high school. Sadly after I got the fix done, it was totalled after getting rear ended.

[@nosturbo69]

Yep big problem with the 80s,90s auto. Come back after half an hour they usually would start up fine.

[@vspencer9764]

My Mk 3.5 which has an updated 2.0 litre version of that engine sounded like that (except it didn’t have the exhaust blow) when it first started up after it had sat for a year. After giving it an oil change and putting a few hundred miles on the old girl it’s now as quiet as a church mouse and runs like a Swiss Watch.

[@matthewwebber3019]

I loved this video! I am so excited for the little Jetta GL

[@indycollie6424]

It's a good feeling when you win.

[@rcflyer2000]

Great to this Mk2 Jetta run and move under it's own power, with a new starter installed 🛣️ I'm really looking to seeing your video about this VW 😎

[@RickGTI2019]

Your perseverance is amazing ! Good job, a real knuckle buster ! Thanks again, RickGTI…..🌴

[@Kazo737]

I love the MK2 content, keep it up!

[@orlandosantiago6398]

Love to see success stories on this channel! :)

[@brysonadonis1854]

Excited for this build💥🙌

[@rmuckluck]

My wife had a Blue Jetta GL this when we started dating. It was an awesome car. Years later had a MK4 Jetta we drove for 10 years.

[@dubCanuck1]

Listen to that chop!

[@martinbartenbach8516]

Yes, you did it!

[@dennismartinez1529]

Up and running 👏👏👏👏

[@Dan_Mk2]

IT'S ALIVE !!! 🤘🤘

[@thepunisher3810]

For the back bolt on the starter long wobble extension behind the starter all you need dont need to remove the mount

[@tomvanharen6404]

Ad some hydraulic lift valve concentrate to the oil. It will help less noise in the engine.

[@ziyaadbaronet5294]

Thank you Chris your a legend

[@PinkieandtheBrain]

Love the car keep doing the great work

[@alanneal9881]

So glad I don't do the work on my own cars! Loving this MK2, going to look great.

[@electrogaming1274]

You should 100% get a mk4 cabrio

[@selwynwerth2380]

With a nice set of wheels & tyres suspension she’ll be good 👍🏽 rock on old vee dubs 🤟🏽

[@4GMinecraft]

back to back videos? I can fuck with that

[@waylandsmith3981]

I know you know a lot about cars. I believe that’s the 1.8 CIS fuel injection system. You should shock and clean your injector lines and injectors for piece of mind. The tend to clog up over time

[@PLGooner]

Why you start car without gas or even Oil checking?

[@James_713]

Pretty sure for shutting you blower off on the inside, if you push the top slider all the way to the left it should turn off the blower. If I remember my mk2’s correctly lol

[@IsmaelGarcia-jo7rr]

Hi you have a diff, leak and my be dry of oil , in that automatic Trasmision are separate, differential only use(SAE 90W ) 0.79 us qt. So if leaks is a problem

[@davidpring9108]

01:10 might aswell do a manual swap 😁

[@Oyvind88]

Great one😎

[@danielmrozek7645]

Yoo, how do I take off my fender plastic without breaking it (mk2)

[@WiresFanDrew]

YEAAAAAH…….!

[@vr6projects]

Nice job 🤜🤛

[@iainwilson4483]

Great job on getting her up and running again. Will she stay stock engine wise or will she get a new heart at some point. Great vid as always keep um coming

[@roruphotography]

Good stuff man!! I got 3 crisp hundred dollars for it and you end up leaving her behind! 👀

[@maxwellyt9745]

GG winning

[@shawnbrannam3696]

You can get the starter out without taking the motor mount out and the entire axle out

[@gabecameron9910]

How?

[@parmarthefarmer]

Whats the vid you seen chris?

[@roberttils1155]

Da ist ein Release hinter der Mittelkonsole dieses überprüfen

[@TheVWGarage]

Jump the starter first. It could be the starter relay.

[@jacoblee090]

I have the same model just red, mine needs a starter now -_-

[@user-ds1nb9sg6n]

Fresh oil and let it run ticking(lifter noise) should go away

[@drewholm6113]

I put over 350k on my 87.

[@adamtaylor3542]

no jack stands again 😰

[@jdmfamily01]

Please slam it and swap it to a 2.0

[@Draxterwav]

She is alive maybe she needs lika 1.8 from mk3 because this one is too messy or an 2.0abf even better

[@maverick4177]

These cars have hydraulic lifters, they drain out over time and also get gunned up, with an oil flush and some run time they do often clear To be fair that’s got a lot of miles on it, so they may need replacing as i bet they have never been done

[@ansleycarter1204]

Yep you stole it! It came with a brand new starter!😄

[@davelz03]

First

[@ads13998]

First one :)

[@alextavares3158]

I wouldn’t spend a dollar on that engine and swap it

[@aved9067]

It hurts to say this but I have a 87 Mk2 2door Wolfsburg I’m looking to get rid off… Anyone interested?!

[@toddwilliams9681]

Bro, this is Why WE BUY MANUALS! DEATH TO THE AUTOMATICS!!! Auto's are the worse to work on 😒😫
