I love watching you maintain and restore those old cars. Nothing beats the feeling than fixing an old car. Keep those videos coming, please. I really like them.

[@ejoautovideos]

Thank you soo much for your comment! And yes, I really feel the same way. The level of satisfaction when you fix an old car.. 😝👍

[@sanusius4460]

Totally agree!

What a job! The beak system is now better than ever!

[@ejoautovideos]

Thanks a lot! Have a great one! 😊😊

[@robertlundholm8156]

Hittade din kanal av en slump, verkligen glad att jag gjorde det! Väldigt bra videos, uppskattas! 😌 Älskar att du använder dig av biltema verktyg, för dom duger alldeles utmärkt 😁👌

[@ejoautovideos]

Uppskattar verkligen att du skriver det, betyder mycket! 😊 Ja, precis väldigt mycket av Biltemas sortiment duger hur fint som helst! 👍

[@scharnier6989]

Hey quick tip! You really shouldn’t use anti-seize on the brake rotor mating surfaces due to it using the metal to metal contact to distribute heat while braking…

[@MJ-fh9hj]

Det var videos som dessa som gjorde att man kollade på yt , tyvärr blir de färre och färre. Då blir man extra glad när en kommer. Har följt kanalen sen du började med 740in och detta projekt är också jättekul att följa! Rostiga bromsrör och framvagns balk på en golf? NÄHÄ hehe. Bra jobbat, verkligen.

[@ejoautovideos]

Tack så sjukt mycket, uppskattar verkligen din kommentar. Ha det bäst! 😊

[@SvartaGolfen]

Ett tips när du ska knacka dit fettkåporna på navet, hitta en stump rör som passar över fettkåpan så den ligger emot yttre kanten på kåpan, det blir jättelätt att montera och det blir snyggt och fritt från bulor.

[@ejoautovideos]

Bra tips, det eller en hylsa som passar. 👍

[@Belle1337]

Sjukt grym idé. Definitivt inte något som alla gör. Detta är som en allt i ett, visar verkligen dina färdigheter inom bilar👍

[@ejoautovideos]

Verkligen tusen tack! Uppskattar det såå mycket! 😊😊

[@rskalisky]

A great upgrade for the exhaust hangers are the ones with chain embedded inside them. The underside looks like virtually all our cars in the northeast US after a winter or two, you have my sympathies 🙏🤣

[@ejoautovideos]

Hehe yeah you gotta love the salt... 😑 Thank you for your comment, wish you the best, take care. 😊👍

[@nikolaosstergiopoulos6888]

hut off to you sir! i really don't know where you find the courage to fix all that rust! Maybe it is very common there. Here in Greece if i see little rust under the car i frozen to death!

[@ejoautovideos]

Thank you very much Sir! Yeah, here in Sweden this is pretty common for an old car like this. It really makes everything more challenging. A single rusty fastener can sometimes take an hour of labor, it's really bad! 😬

[@Xellyish]

Kunglig är du! Riktig drömbilmek 😊 Som jag sa för länge sen, Sveriges egna ChrisFix!

[@ejoautovideos]

Tackar kompis! Uppskattar verkligen det! 😊

[@ronanmc2112]

Great music choice. And great video too obviously! Looking forward to the next update

[@ejoautovideos]

Thank you Sir, really appreciate that. 😊🙏

[@HypnotizinDetailz]

Excellent work and video EJO - as per usual! 👌🏻🤩👍🏻 Love your old projects and cars (I wish I could do similar things like you), can’t wait for the next episode! 😊 There is something relaxing in making up brake lines - Edd China (from Wheeler Dealers) was making brake lines a little while ago for the old Range Rover that he’s fixing now; you might find his videos interesting/entertaining, they’re definitely relaxing though (sorry if you watched it already, but that was the first thing that came to my mind when I’ve seen you doing brake lines). 😊

[@ejoautovideos]

Thank you so much for your comment! 🙏🤩 (For everybody who doesn't know this guy makes really good content! ) Yeah I know right? I watched all the episodes on that Range Rover, he is a really entertaining lad to watch! 👍👍

[@HypnotizinDetailz]

@@ejoautovideos - Thank you very much for your kind words EJO! 🤩🤜🏻💥🤛🏻😉

[@RickGTI2019]

Great job ! I also repaired a cat converter heat shield the same way, great minds think alike. Now if that VW could get a dry ice under body cleaning , it would be perfect. Thanks, RickGTI 🇺🇸

[@ejoautovideos]

Thank you so much, your comment means a lot! 🙏😊

Härlig video, hade en Golf mk2 som första bil, gti grill och bbs fälgar :) Väntar på del 2 med spänning! Som vanligt ett otroligt strukturerat och bildande arbete.

[@ejoautovideos]

Tack så mycket! Ja det är en riktig klassiker. 👍

[@cliveneilands1449]

Not so good at fitting the rear bearing cover... made big dents in it..find a big socket or pipe that fits over it so you don't dent it.

[@Moncho68]

A pleasure to watch the attention to details when you do the work... I m like you in this things...Greetings from Spain guy

[@ejoautovideos]

Thank you so much 😊👍

[@Raaid0093]

I own now for 9 years a oakgreen GTD Special. I notice that my brake pedal travel is way to loose. I have new brake calipers and master cilinder for 3 years now. And i also switched the little brake things in the brake drums in the back. But i also notice, when i bleed the brakes, there is not so much fluid coming out on the drums. Weird. Also hooked a compressor bleeder. Doesn't help much. In the front it bleeds perfectly. Then i have good brake pressure, but not for long.

[@franciscos.3671]

This car undeneath looks like the Titanic

[@ejoautovideos]

Hehe yeah, that's what you get after 30 years of salty Swedish winters.. 😝

[@MrPuggen]

Efterlängtad video. Grymt bra som vanligt. Ser redan fram emot nästa ☺️👍

[@ejoautovideos]

Tackar tackar! Nästa droppar om en vecka. 😉👍

[@Patrick-Mckinney]

that pinched brake line is not routed correctly and is why it got pinched im also very confused as to why there is even a clip to mount a line there

[@ejoautovideos]

Hmm alright, thank you for noticing that, I will look it up. 👍

[@Patrick-Mckinney]

@@ejoautovideos okay on the rear beam is a "flap" or a "tab' i routed the brake line around the tab If you want i can send pictures i got facebook instagram snap chat telegram If you put the line in same spot it will get.crushed again And it it was ever lowered most certainly be crushed

[@Patrick-Mckinney]

@@ejoautovideos and then the next issue i found is that the metal pipe runs very close to the wheel and you must bend it around the tab and then with a small curve away from the tire I used a load of zip ties to keep it down and installed 1 inch wheel spacers to make space

[@4GuitarTrance]

Man... paint those rusty calipers, dude! Get rid of the rust (or cover it) and make them look really nice also! Should have painted them red or yellow! Enjoyed the video. I am a GTI/etc aficionado from way back... LOVE them!

[@Docktor99fin]

Love your content as a mk2 owner! Keep on going🙏🏼 Hälsningar från Finland😎

[@ejoautovideos]

Thank you so much dear neighbour! 😊 which kind of mk2 do you have? Engine, color etc?

[@Docktor99fin]

I have a white 3 door from 1990🙏🏼 currently making a full 16v gti swap😎

[@DJJumpdancer]

2:05 if your not replacing those rusty parts sand blasting should remove the rust so they can be painted

[@madcat4563]

Biltema is a brand I've learned about from watching European content. It seems to be a favourite for diy applications.

[@januariflickan1]

Super good video! Great to see the Golf again.👍🏻😍

[@ejoautovideos]

Thank you very much! 😊😊

[@3dprint4u]

Underhållande som vanligt när du gör saker, väntar på del 2 :)

[@ejoautovideos]

Tackar! Del två kommer nog släppas en vecka efter denna! 👍😊

[@sjors9110]

I love it so much that you keep the car as it is! Very nice! But that you didn't go for the the ventilated disc brake upgrade. I have the same golf GL, same year approx, and it fits straight in without upgrade of the brake calipers and other things.

[@ejoautovideos]

Thank you! 😊 Ok, good info I did not know that. However I just wanted to be sure that the parts would fit without any problems, so I just went with the same one as original. 👍

[@sjors9110]

@@ejoautovideos I fully understand that. Herewith a link (hope it's working and no I am not a sponsor of mister-auto) with the parts: Disk brakes: www.mister-auto.nl/remschijven-vooras/ferodo/ddf175/?v=1651&c=0 Brake pads: www.mister-auto.nl/remblokken-vooras/ferodo/fdb392/?v=1651&c=0 You especially need the 15mm thickness otherwise it will not fit.

[@seraajroomaney3148]

Really enjoying you golf mk2 videos, would have liked it if you painted the front calipers as well. Any plans to clean, detail, corrosion protect the underside of the car?

[@ejoautovideos]

Thank you so much! This car is actually sold.

Aaah the common Golf 2 problem with the exhaust heat shield. Fixed it by ripping it off 😂👍

Hello. My friend. You have put new parts on the VW GOLF Mk2. You can have clean all the parts that was rushed. Suspension front and back and all the other also.

Hi EJO! Please change these ugly Wheels. They don‘t fit to this nice Golf. What about some 14“ Original Steel-Rims? Or better The 6x15 G60 Steel-Rims with 195/50 Tires. Good Videos! Greetings from Germany 😀

[@ejoautovideos]
