Volkswagen - Wolfsburg Production Line - Visiting Volkswagen (1989)

[@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.

[@BB-ne9ev]

This is the production of the MK2 Golf, made from 1983-1992

[@bokexd3173]

but there is a CE1 (original) and CE2 (minor facelift basically small changes) i think ce2 came out in 87 i dont remember

[@RPNization]

@@BB-ne9ev It shows the production of the pre-facelift MK2 models, who were produced until the summer of 1987.

[@captaintaxi280]

Video was made before summer 1987. After the summer break the Golf got the new doors.

[@ReginaTrans_]

Those model were produced between 1987 and 1992, this video is very 1989/1991

Different exterior colours too. I swear almost every VW I see these days is white, black or grey. Very dreary.

The VW Golf 2 was a simple, but well build car. Just look at VW now: a lot of (plastic) crap for a premium price. No wonder they are in big trouble...

[@stormytempest6521]

Hi, Big Big Trouble and there not on there own ! To much Teck, to many plastic cheep parts, service costs expensive, oh to Expensive to Purchase in the first place ! this film was made roughly when they purchased SKODA and turned it round! ah the GOOD OLD DAYS.

​@giuseppelavecchia775проблема в отсутствии дешевого газа из России и тупизны ваших правителей и тупизны модернизировать обычную повозку для поездок своей жопы.

Автомобиль должен быть простым и дешевым😅 Привет из России 🇷🇺❤

[@igorisvilniaus3695]

The reasons of the Big Trouble is: 1. Chinese who produce cheaper and better cars... 2. Germans and other customers who now save every cent to survive... 3. Americans who destroyed the North Stream pipeline thus cutting German industrial gugants from the cheap Russian gas.

[@davehaigh4769]

I worked on these in the late 80s and early 90s before giving up the spanners and going into vehicle design for various brands. VW's of the 80s and 90s were true quality cars, well designed, built and with a long life. I had a late mark 2 scirocco which I ran to over 500k miles on the clock and it still looked like a low mileage example. Then a 2003 T4 transporter which I recently sold with over 400k on the clock, 300K of those I put on it with no issues and it still looked clean. But it seems many of the new transporters are struggling to get to 100k without the need for a replacement engine. It's a shame the quality has gone now. My late 2000's Passat was a pain so had to go after 18 months. Last year was my first year buying a non VW/Audi car. I will never buy a VW or Audi again.

[@goldenretriever6261]

I've owned 7 VWs, currently driving an 09 Passat wagon. Probably my last VW. After 250k km everything starts needing replacement.

[@ronanrogers4127]

Pre-1986 (and pre-unification) as others have noted. Besides, the video itself looks older than ‘89. Great film.

[@RPNization]

This Film is from before 1989, because the cars are pre-facelifts that were produced until the summer of 1987, recognizable by the bars in the front doors and the rearward-positioned exterior mirrors, as well as the front grilles with multiple slats.

[@AltaSonata]

Sehr gute Doku. Teile des Films müssen bereits nach Herbst 1986 und vor Herbst 1987 gedreht worden sein (syncro kam zum Modelljahr 1987, Dreieckfenster sind zum Modelljahr 1988 entfallen).

[@danam2584]

That video was a treat!

[@kycpawe8194]

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.

[@WatchingMamut]

They might have gone to TAS in Yugoslavia or even the South African factory as the production of the old model continued there?

[@soundseeker63]

Great footage of the "good old days" of VW when they still made reliable cars. I think this was shot earlier than 1989 though. 86 or 87 would be my guess, as these are the pre-facelift mark 2 Golfs. The facelift was produced from 1987 onwards and had different doors/mirrors/windows, badging etc. I wouldn't say no to a tidy Mk2 GTi today actually, or even better....a Corrado!

[@ee4355]

Was a VW dealer technician when this was made……those plastic film door vapor barriers the woman is installing were a terrible design flaw……I replaced countless numbers and pulled countless carpets due to water intrusion from failed film barriers

[@_stokyo_]

Wasnt the heat exchanger a common problem too? I had that issue with my 89 model

[@ee4355]

@ oh the heater core…..I did hundreds of those when I was at the dealer. I think that recall covered every Golf/Jetta from 1985 to around 1990……it was a ton of vehicles….easy job that paid well, even for warranty pay

[@_stokyo_]

@ee4355 do you think that leaky heater core is what gave those models their unique smell inside? I miss that smell. I.e. coolant/oil haha

What you don't get to see and are never shown is how those new engines battle and how long they take to eventually start for the first time. The workers on this part of the line are especially brutal to them, they rev their absolute guts out, so much so that these engines scream like no engine you've ever heard, being punished. I've seen so many brand new Golf's and Jetta's that have marks in the carpet behind the pedal from where the workers on this part of the line have beaten them HARD on their first start.
