Those early Volkswagen diesels! Once you got it started, if you provided air to the intake, the bastard would literally RUN COMPLETELY SUBMERGED IN WATER! They regularly ran 300,000 miles and at that point still had perfect compression and no wear on the bearings. My brother had one; He kept a brick on the drivers floorboard, that was his cruise control. The car had a top speed of 65 mph wide open, so he never had to worry about police on long drives on the highway. While getting 55 mpg~ Great video!

[@tmajcan94]

I've loved VW Rabbits since I was a kid back in the 80s. So when you guys got a low mileage one and brought it back to life, I got really excited! I really enjoy watching you and your dad working together. Your videos are so much fun to watch. Can't wait to see this get detailed and on the road.

Nice work. I like the way you do things, you don't just throw a battery at it and start cranking. You replace all the important things first, oil, antifreeze, fuel and especially the belt. 👍 I've had an 81 VW diesel, 315k miles, an 85 diesel, 256k miles, and now a 2002 diesel, 448k miles and still going strong.

[@affordablevs]

Wow! That thing will run forever, a proper engine! We call them Mk1 Golf over here in the UK. Very rare to find a 5 door and a diesel here. The VW clubs would go mad for that little puppy.... Can't wait to see its journey!

[@carlbernard4197]

I want it! Would get better fuel mileage than my 2022 Nissan Altima does. I miss the 1981 5 door I had. That one was the gasoline version but it's dash was almost identical and it also had a 4 speed 😊

[@JohanHultin]

I wasn't even aware they came with diesel engines until today, not the hugest Golf enthusiast but the MK1 is a cool "vintage" car!

[@Drew_Snydermann]

Proper procedure for belt replacement is to lock the cam, then loosen the cam sprocket bolt, then tap the sprocket loose. The sprocket is on a taper, so that when you tighten the timing belt, the sprocket spins rather than the unlocked crank. Then torque the bolt. Also, your pump sprocket should be locked into the support bracket with a larger diameter tool so the sprocket can't move at all, at the dealer we had a special insert tool for this, but a socket will work. There are more accurate timing marks on the crank sprocket than the flywheel. Then you should set the injection pump timing, it's almost always off of ideal. Guaranteed yours is off now. This requires a special dial indicator, but it's easy to do.

[@volktales7005]

100% true!

[@DrGero15]

Yup.

[@JustinPaul1st]

agreed and further to that inn our side of the world its not even neccessay to remove the tappet cover gasket to get your cam timing correct ...all you got to do is look on the inside of the cam sprocket there is a dimple stamped on...that dimple must sit level to the tappet cover but closer to the diesel pump (if that makes sense) and your cam should be spot on TDC... then set your crank to TDC and then your pump ...then you can lock the cam belt into place with the tensioner making sure not to move the timing mark out

[@Drew_Snydermann]

@@JustinPaul1st Except the sprocket isn't indexed with the cam on the diesel. You must be thinking of the gasoline engine. Only way to set the timing is to align the machined groove on the end of the cam with the valve cover mating surface. We had a special tool that was a precision ground fixture for this task. Oh, and while the valve cover is off, adjust the valves.

[@davep800]

Drew Snyderman knows how to set the timing and belt on a VW Diesel because I do too. Our dealership had 35 mechanics when the Diesel was introduced in 1976. No one wanted to work on them, so I "specialized" in them and ultimately made a ton of money working on the stupid things. The guy in the video talks a lot, but doesn't know much about them..

[@bobcooke6346]

So, I guess what we call a VW Golf in the U.K. in the U.S. it’s called a Rabbit OK now I know 🤔 I just love the enthusiasm you and your dad show, I’m sure the systematic way you approach “first starts” increases the success rate, all credit to you for doing that 👍🙂

[@misterakt]

yes, the first and fifth gen Golfs were called Rabbits here in the US

[@colinm7374]

Love your channel, viewing from the UK. A top tip for changing those toothed timing belts without having to worry about locking up the cams is to slice the old belt half way along it's length, loosen the tensioner & remove the front half. Slide the new belt onto the pulleys as far as you can then cut off the remaining old belt and finish fitting the new one. Saves all that alignment hassle!

[@phy7dop]

It also saves all that replacing the tensioner "hassle" , which is the thing that generally snaps the belt. So its a bit of a shit redneck way of doing it and not to be recommended!

[@patricksnow1700]

I have a soft spot for those old VW rabbits absolutely worth saving this one

the VWR is a keeper, that little diesel is good for a million miles. Detail it inside and out, do a bit of paint correction on the cowl and A-pillar wouldn't blend 100% but it will be better than looking at the rust. Mike, to try and stay on fixed budget, I'm pretty sure you can get a rattle spray can of single stage paint mixed up at any auto paint supplier, just given them the body color code that's on the ID tag. You could have that car looking really decent in an afternoon. This car is not far off factory condition, it deserves the makeover. Keep up the great content, tell your dad he's an awesome dude. Can't wait to see more of the RV / camper build

In April 1979, I paid my deposit on a diesel Rabbit at Jordan VW in Charlotte. Took delivery in Aug. 1979 of a lemon yellow diesel Rabbit with round headlights, the last German diesel Jordan VW imported. It was a 4 speed with dealer installed AC, quite a drag on that little diesel engine. I put about 280,000 miles on it until a wreck in April 1984. What I would give to have it back again, the 50 plus mpg, and that rockin' stereo I had in it! I'm glad you and your father are fixing these up, Michael. Really enjoy each episode!

[@anibalbabilonia1867]

Man that car brings me back memories! I used to own a 1979 Rabbit in 1981, I used to love that little bugger! It was my first car! I was 18 years old at the time. So just imagine the excitement of having your first car! Mine was two doors with the 4 speed manual transmission, also white like yours. With the black interior. The engine was a 1.5L gasoline. For me being my first car, it was a hell of a lot of fun driving it. Man that runs and sounds great! Great long lasting engine’s! Can’t wait to see what you guy’s do to it in the near future! That’s awesome! Great job guy’s!👌😎👍

[@mattalki]

I still have my original Rabbit Diesel that my parents bought in 1981. It hasn't run in a few years, and I decided to get it running again. The injection pump was pretty gunked up, so I had it rebuilt (it has 320K miles on it, so why not?), and now it seems to have a fueling issue. If you prime it, it runs until the pump runs out. When you replaced the return line, you made me think that maybe mine is leaking and not holding a vacuum to pull fuel from the tank properly? Who knows? I'll keep beating on it and eventually get it running right. Nice work on this little guy! I hate to see mk1's just rotting away. They're not great in today's vehicle climate, but they're classics!

[@davidgleason3379]

Love the sound of an old diesel have fond memories of my dad's 80 240 D Mercedes that little 4 cyl just ran like a clock just to start it up a hear it was pleasure also enjoyed driving it .he bought used in 1997 from a car lot that the salvation arm ran in downtown San Diego he paid 900.00 for it and drove home he did a little work to it himself he was not a mechanic but worked on many cars in his teenage years growing up in the 50"s also rebuild a few motors and little bit of everything else but that 240 was his first diesel but he picked up on to it really quickly. And did all the regular things himself. This little car was a blast to drive. I sure miss it. Love to see an old one come to life and enjoyed the music of hearing it run. Thank you for posting another good video.

Had a 81 5 door VW Fox Wagon petrol with 5 Speed Box and Duel float chamber. Went like the wind. Bought it neglected and restored it to running condition. Had the same headlights and indicators. Had triangle tail lights. Lost it in a car accident when someone drove into the right side firewall pillar and bend the right wheel on top of the engine. Was a fine car and I would probably still drove it if it wasn't for the accident. Good memories with her. Her favorite speed was 160km an hour or 100 miles per hour was her sweet spot. Keep on restoring these old gems.

[@robertbarre4400]

When changing Cambelt on these you can do it very simple by using a sharp Knife. Cut the Belt in the middle so it becomes thinner. Then release tension and put on the new Belt halfway. Cut away the old Belt completely and slid the new on fully. Apply the Tensioner again and you are done!

[@BudgetBuildz]

Great tip!! We will definitely have to try that on one soon! 😃

[@yodasbff3395]

Nice tip, but I always replace the idler pulley, the bearings and water pump which won't work with your method. What I have always done is put at white mark on the cam gear and belt, the camshaft gear and belt and the injection pump gear and belt. I then line up the old with the new belts and transfer the marks to the new belt. Then, just put the new belt on and line up the marks on the gears. I've probably changed a dozen belts this way and never had a failure.

[@albinklein7680]

​​@@BudgetBuildzplease, please do not!! You absolutely have to do it the right way. It is extremely rewarding when it is running like a clock after doing the timing belt right. You absolutely have to remove the camshaft pulley and put the belt on with the injection pump locked and the camshaft pulley loose.

Dad had an 81 diesel rabbit, 4 spd, no ac, 4 door. It was my daily driver in HS in the 90s, and delivered pizzas with it for several years in college. Dad DIY’d it and kept it running. Remember having to tap the starter solenoid with a hammer for a bit, till he got the starter changed. Once I had some money put a couple Rockford Fosgate punch 10’s in the hatch, and a portable CD player with one of those cassette adaptors to the aftermarket head unit. Put it in the ditch on our gravel road, sliding it around a corner. Dad wasn’t happy, but a kids gotta have some fun.

Had a 1981 Rabbit Diesel L with a 4-speed. After rebuilding the engine and driving on a long trip, I couldn't stand that transaxle so when returning home, I went to my favorite parts place and swapped out the 4-speed for a late model 5-speed. What a difference on the highway! I used to get about 55 MPG on the highway. After 6 months, someone wanted my drivetrain to put into another car so sold that car for profit, and bought a rebuilt 85 Golf diesel w/5-speed. Drove that car every day 120 miles a day for 2 years and then gave to my son.

My second car was a 1977 volkswagen rabbit, wolfsburg edition, i believe? two door, 4 speed. it was fuel injected, but when it was cold, you had to start it with ether! the only way to have headlights, was to prop a 7018 welding rod behind the turn signal switch, against the dash! i was 16 years old when i had it and it was a great car to learn about! keep the videos coming. awesome that you and your dad can do this together.
