Volkswagen Golf Mk1 Engine Swap Part 1

[@konkobas]

I'm getting early mighty car mods vibes from 10 years ago. Keep going!

[@Spartanac517]

"first jack up the car" yup, i would agree

[@romeovarga8]

Extraordinară pasiunea ta pentru golf w și eu am golf 1 diesel și golf 2Ez.

De unde ești,Romeo? Eu am un Caddy Mk1

Finally a car channel that shows the struggle bus of working on cars... you know with or without an excavator.. subscribed

[@hoffa2586]

Nice work! Keep your driveshafts installed at the hubs when removing the original engine and bungee them up out of the way. Less work and you keep your wheel bearings safe. If you roll the car around without the driveshaft installed it can damage the wheel bearings. I learned that one the hard way.

[@fanespoitoru9790]

Cheers.. you mean keep the shafts attached to the wheels,or bolted to the gearbox?

[@TheTurboSubaru]

Regardless if the spelling was intentional, but the "stooped" 0:31 had me laughing quite a bit!

Very interesting. 3½ years ago the oil pump shit itself in the 2.3 litre Red Block in my 1990 Volvo 240DL estate. Since the car only had 400,000 kilometers on it, I took the easy way out. Found a good used 2.3 out of another, totally rotted, 1990 with only 220,000 km on the clock. $600 for the engine delivered to the shop, and $1,200 including tax to do the re and re. Arthur was back on the road in under a week. I would have done it myself except for 3 factors. First, Ontario winters. -20 is no joke. Second, no garage or shop to work in. See number 1. Third, 6 shoulder surgeries say that hefting a cast iron engine, even if only 4 cylinders, is just not a good idea. That engine now has over 400,000 km on it, and does not burn or leak any between services. To me, paying to have it done might be the pricey way, but worth it. No fun for KZbin, however. I do admire how you drive in and get it done.

Hoi voor de demontage van de voorpijp is er een vag tool die je zo zelf maakt. Het is een iets taps toelopende plaat die je tussen de veren/C-klemmen drukt. Werkt echt super. Heb ik van een vw monteur met meer dan 40 jaar ervaring geleerd.

[@WARXion]

At first I heard "yeet gun" for the excavator and now I'm kinda dissapointed but the memes are lit. Good job mate!

[@80sAudiSport]

Nice progress. I am tinkering about doing something alike on my mk2, also small carb'ed engine as of today. Just a small tip on the C-clamps @Memphis, get yourself some U-bolt exhaust clamps, weld on two "horns" on the bent bolt, and reverse the removable part and the position of the bolts. This way you are able to widen the C-clamps by turning two bolts, and you don't worry about the C-clamps jumping off anywhere. That said, it is not too costly to get some new 4-2-1 manifolds these days either.

[@garethweare6441]

mk1 is by far the easiest to swap... we averaged 45 minutes to remove the 1.4 and swap in a 2.0 to start and drive

[@Bigjoelifts15]

Like it mate I'm a mk1 cabrio owner from the UK got an ex engine in myself. Love the video keep em coming 👍👍

[@AndrewKNI]

One of the few videos I hadn't watched.....and it's brilliant. Well done guys :-)

[@markochrenst801]

0:40 I broke exactly the same bolt that you on my diesel MK1 Golf. Dude I was so pissed because I broke temp sensor earlier and I needed to put that pipe away from engine in order to remove old sensor. I almost lost my cool there.

[@CuoreSportivo]

i loved the brass shade on the headlights, it totally fit the belgian weather. what are they called?

[@asanalikarem8487]

My father you have Beautiful ayes

[@kdark54]

Bob Ross reference, 'smack the devil out of it'? :)

[@andymitchell368]

After doing this to my mk1 campaign over 20 years ago I will be doing it again on my newly purchased 1991 convertible i must be mad lol

[@morganbadracing7177]

Hello Memphis, where the rims come from ? love it

[@memphis5220]

Mk3 golf steel rims widened

[@yannesvandenheuvel398]

Jo Memphis wij hebben dat ook gedaan bij een golf 1 maar bij ons steekt er nu een 2 liter 16 klepper in

[@firebeard2188]

do you have merch ? ( liked the logo 1:10)

[@aarongrabowski5620]

I love your car.

[@irshaadkarim2066]

Hey, love the car and stance. I have a 1976 2dr. What are the wheel specs and offset? Are you running spacers? Cheers 😀

[@MrHuismeester]

Leuke video met geinige gadget !

[@farcasgarage3559]

Awesome I really enjoyed these videos. What country are you from? Greetings from the u.s

[@fanespoitoru9790]

Belgium,I guess

[@999coax]

maaan you can also dismount the engine and pull it out from below the front, just raising up the car...back and forth, easily.

[@910k7]

Hay man mooi video ik heb een vraag motor van vw polo past in golf 1?

[@whiskacz7106]

Hi. Please tell me exactly what the paint code is. Thank you

[@6ixthstage845]

what size tires are you running on the steelies? haha

[@pascalhuizinga8258]

moi Memphis, ik heb sinds kort een golf 1 uit 82/83 en nu wou ik een 1.8L van een golf 1 cabrio erin zetten maar past dat 1:1 of moet ik nog wat aanpassen? zo ja wat dan ?

[@memphis5220]

hangt er vanaf welke motor je nu hebt. 1.5, 1.6 hebben dezelfde motorsteunen. Bij 1.1 en 1.3 moet je een motorsteun omlassen.

[@pascalhuizinga8258]

@@memphis5220 oke dat is wel balen heb een orginele 1.1 maar dat schiet niet op maar las liever niks om zodat ik het weer orgineel kan terug zetten als ik een groter blok erin wil hebben

[@memphis5220]

@@pascalhuizinga8258 het omlassen is opzich makkelijk omkeerbaar. Heb gehoord dat het een kwestie is van de linkse motorsteun los te maken, om te draaien en wat naar achteren te plaatsen.

[@pascalhuizinga8258]

@@memphis5220 ja maar het idee was om de 1.8 of andere motor er weer uit te halen wanneer die in de stalling komt voor 10/20jaar zodat mijn 1.1 orgineel is snapje

What is the wheels at mk1?

[@rztrzt]

Wait, you drive to a car wash and pay them to then wash your own car? I don't get it?

you should NEVER loosen drive shaft bolts with brakes keeping them from rotating you will damage caliper hardware or brake pad fixtures.

[@HasanSAYLIK]

final funny ?

[@ruebenboettger5327]

Good video, but you got to learn your terminology. That is not at all an excavator, that’s a skid steer. Google excavator and see what comes up, not at all what you used

[@peterking2561]

S Borissenko lmao 👌🏼

[@chickensoup571]

He litterly called it a skid steer
