I work in Halle 54 since 1998. Nice to see this old view.

[@danam2584]

That video was a treat!

[@will4688]

Thank you. I have good sleep material now.

[@Jay-Kay-Em]

Yet again, thank you ROVR. I have a 1991 Mk2 GTI that I road tripped to Wolfsburg the other year. The Autostadt is an amazing place. Thank you for uploading to see some of the techniques used to make my car.

[@nicklorentin6970]

Great video, but I think the video dates from before 1989, the golf is still made with small squares, and the typography of the badges and old.

[@zzhughesd]

So many made so few left. Nice video

[@gabrielv.4358]

Imagine having a golf that was made in this footage?f

[@ricardorodrigues6297]

Esta produção não é com toda a certeza de 1989. Será de 1985 ou 1986. Eles estão montando o autoradio Alpha 1!

[@LeftIsBest001]

This is spectacular.

[@tulioleal]

Compare this to the Trabant factory of the same age... So close, so far apart...

Interwar German architecture is so cool

[@VDPEFi]

Amazing footage as usual. Im still amazed how rotten all old cars were despite these 'amazing processes' one could almost guess it was completely useless and just halted it a year or 2. My mk2 golf 1.6 driver was literally the worst car I ever owned. What a total POS

[@PiggyWiggyO]

It really depended on where you lived. Cars are made of metal pure and simple. True, advances were made on anti rust etc. Cars in hot countries lasted longer than in countries where wet and dampness was a problem. Volkswagen, lost its way a bit with keeping golf very much the same through the mks after mk 2 to this very day.

I just wonder, and maybe someone would give me a proper answer - what could happen to all those press tooling used to make bodyparts like doors, floor, hood etc. Theoretically if it hasnt been scraped, it could be used to make completly new parts? Is VAG grop holds all this equipment in some warehouses?

[@herrbela84]

These tools have a lifetime, then they are worn out and get scrapped.

[@talis4646]

As far as I know, there's a company under the VAG Group which still produces spare parts for older cars (Volkswagen Classic Parts, located near the Wolfsburg Factory), I dont know however if they still use the original equipment to produce those same spare parts.

[@gabrielv.4358]

Does ANYONE HAVE a VW ENGINE FACTORY from the 90's?

[@neosneos3680]

Ich Fahre noch ein Golf II von 1989 und würde ihn nie verkaufen

[@gabrielv.4358]

19:01 They say to never rev up a new engine, and they are doing that, lol

[@gabrielv.4358]

Several statements regarding robots simply are plain wrong nowdays...

[@djohnnineonesix820]

I own a 97 Oldsmobile Achieva. Still pass emissions super clean. But this year 2022 the check engine light stop working at all. So I got fail to pass smog by visual inspection. 😡

[@simonspider]

When Vw made solid cars and not the chintzy overrated and poorly engineered plastic idiot mobiles of the last 30 years...

[@teevee2145]

Did that tour in 89
