I don’t think it’s a lie…. African buy used cars from Europe with 300000 miles…. And still use these cars for a long time traveling back and forth everyday via neighboring country and cities… and then end up changing the car engine, refurbish the body a little and continue using it….. that’s how things work in Africa😂
@@davidoseyi6149 My friend, the math does not add up. If the car's owner told Passy the car had 5 mil km, I'd expect that number in the title between 20 quotation marks and at least 5 healthy jokes at the expense of the delusional owner and maybe the owners wife who must have another husband if he's on the road that much. The voodoo charm hand movement when he says 5 million KM should say enough?
Considering it's actually Passat B4 and it came up in 1993, you'd have to drive 441 kms every day since it came up from factory. It seems a little bit unrealistic to do that daily in these conditions but hey, it's definitely high mileage hero. There's a chance it has an OBD1 port so you can check the mileage by connecting to the ECU.
The OBD port is on the right behind the steering wheel. This was done according to the far right political ideas of a top boss at VW, who's name I shall not mention for fear of my life.
If you knew anything about VW's, you'd know that the odometer counts to 10 million kilometers, because the first coolant change and thermostat replacement has to happen in 2 million kilometer intervals. After 5 coolant changes, no coolant changes need to be done anymore, but VW doesn't want you to know that so each VW is considered "totalled" because they can't earn anymore money off of you. Apple's "designed obsolescence" design philosophy was actually based on the 5-count coolant change at VW, ignoring the longevity aspect of it however.
It has been speculated that Ford at one point placed their Body Control Module in the handbrake. With cupholders right besides the hand brake, I think you can understand why many Ford engineers are unemployed today. Also, some cables disconnect from the BCM when the handbrake was lifted. Ford does not return their calls asking for another job to this day.
I can't believe no one knows why Africans do this. This trend was started because Africans thought all airbags would work better at this angle. For more information, see my other comment on B4 Passat airbags, and the little-known secret of Elon Musk's rise to fame.
This cant be true, this Passat can't be even close to 5 million kms... 🤦🏻♂️ There is a video of a 2 million kms Mazda station wagon here on RU-vid which looks real
The B4 Passat was a standout model, not to be compared to any other VW, mostly because the engineers used materials specified in a (then) recently discovered Babylonian encyclopedia. VW chief engineer got the tip on this book by a friend of his who was travelling the middle east, and had a one-night stand with a liberal Iraqi woman who was the assistant of a museum director. After years of decyphering the language, they also found remarkable discoveries in the fields of game theory and particle physics. The B4 is a true testament to Babylonian technology for which many VW engineers falsely claim ownership of. You'd be right in thinking the average VW can't do 5mil km, but the B4 was built differently. You learn something new every day!
Absolutely amazing videos sharing dear friend ❤️ Really enjoyed watching Super big big like thumbs up 👍👍👍👍👍 See you again take care, keep intouch ❤️ ❤❤❤❤
My friend, you must know that VW engineers who didn't pass a mandatory IQ test, VW accountants who were caught having personal relations with internship students, and the few shunned lawyers of the VW legal team who were caught snorting coke and cheating on their wives (at the same time), were given leadership positions at BMW. This is the true reason why everything went south at BMW. VW owners can have full confidence that their cars, not being engineered by decadent and hedoistic swines, can last well over 5 million kilometers. BMW owners stopped expecting this after the influx of these less-than-average (to say the least) employees jumped ship to BMW. This also explains the differences in design language between the E36 and E46.
It's a VW, of course it's true. Just because all GM trucks have ground cables that rust away in 5 years doesn't mean VW can't make a car that can last for 5 million kilometers...
@@deebo7276Bro wdym, quit acting like VW is the pinnacle of reliability. Your obviously a fanboy. Think rational for a bit.😂 I know that the technique is simple, but its no were near as good as the Japanese manufacturers like Toyota or Honda back in the day. Also, if this VW did 5.000.000km it would be the world record holder. But it isn't.
@@TheGoose98 I never once thought anyone would take my comment seriously :) Full disclosure, I completely agree with you. I just thought if Passy can start shooting the shit with a """"5 million kilometer"""" car, we might all just shoot the shit too. The wine I had that evening was very fine...
The owner has a wierd talent in remembering how many tire changes were done on all of his cars. He also remembers every single tire brand used on the B4 Passat. The owner knows FOR SURE that he changed the tires 62 times. Given that he does around 80,000 km on one set of tires, this is how he knows the car did 5 million km. The owner does admit that the math has changed a bit since the mid 2000's, when Chinese tires started to be massively imported. The owner is not sure if he does 80,000 km on Chinese tires as well, or if this could be a bit less, say 10,000 km, maybe 15,000 km. So the owner says to take his number with a grain of salt.
That's because it was designed to run 50 million kilometers on salty Russian roads. When VW saw how good the Lada's were, VW changed their minds and targeted domestic and other European markets with the B4 Passat instead.
Forged unicorn dust with fantasy alloy, with divine walk-on-water bearings made from jesus' hardened foot skin dropforged by Thor's hammer. Passy you need to understand that this is 441km every day since 1993, do not bullshit us! I enjoy this channels but I hate having to second guess if the milages you're quoting are true.
Africans can count no problem. It still has to be seen if the rest of the world can count, however. Until then, scrupulous African vloggers continue to deceive the world. Many people are worried about the geopolitical implications, and some smart people in Finland have decided to study mathematics, as well as Nigerian, Swahili, and a few extinct Ethiopian languages, to be prepared for Africa's world-wide dominance in a few years. The rest of us will probably go extinct.
It's not a 3B, its a 3A. And whatever engine it used to have, it has no more. The B4/3A was never offered with a carburetted engine, which is what this car has. And 5.000.000 km....yeah right, that was just picked out the hat to get more views.
This car might even have done more…. In Africa we can change engine three times… as long as the body is still solid… cars like this are used strictly for intercity and inter country commercial transit… so best believe 😂
The owner of an African B4 Passat was credited to have invented the original Viagra recipe, according to 16 jailed Nobel prize winners. They say he wanted to make a potion to cure his sore bum after long days driving, but happened to discover something much better. Pfizer denies these claims, as usual, even after Pfizer's head of HR was found paying the same judge who sentenced the Nobel prize winners a yet unknown sum of money in a Louis Vuitton bag. I think this must be that car
It looks very much like a Monomotronic to me, not a carburator. The Monomotronic was put into new cars as late as the year 2000. The VW Passat B4 Type 3A also came with Monomotronic engine options (just looked it up). So I'd say this is very likely the original engine.
This is the car Toyota used to inspire the engine design on the later Land Cruiser and Hilux, but even these rarely make it to 5 million kilometers. 6 Japanese spies died trying to get VW's blueprints for the B4 Passat back to Japan. The seventh finally made it. Mr. Toyoda was a big fan of Paganism because this was his only explanation of German brilliance.
The secret of the Service Manual is hidden in some scenes of Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Others think that deleted scenes of Indiana Jones give the whereabouts of the Service Manual. If I were you I'd start looking!
The steering wheel has to be like that on a B4 Passat. VW was forced to redesign the steering wheel assembly after it was found that the airbags didn't deploy correctly by a court in Hamburg. A talented young engineer found out that airbags deployed properly with the steering wheel turned to this exact angle. The court in Hamburg accepted this redesign and this young engineer made millions for his ingenious solution. Word has it that this man was called Elon Musk. However, he was so ashamed to admit that he worked at VW that he hired a group of private detectives to rewrite his life story. The private detective who thought of the rich-father-in-the-mining-business later also leaked the Panama papers
Studies show that if a car was owned by a Polish man at any point in its life, the car's engine oil degrades 37% slower for the rest of its life. If a car was owned by a young Polish virgin, the car would in theory never need another oil change. Some garages have started trafficking polish virgins, and the problem is getting worse. Many Bulgarian, Hungarian and Lithuanian families are becoming increasingly worrisome for the fate of their daughters, as the traffickers easily mistake their languages as being Polish, despite Hungarians thinking their language is very unique.
It's B4, not b4. You must not understand the painstaking work the German engineers went through to design a 10 million km car, only to have been failed by a manufacturing plant engineer who, because of a bad series of Mahle filters, had left metal flakes in the engines, responsible for the premature death of all B4 Passat's. Legend has it that one B4 Passat in Africa got away. The owner of this B4 Passat is sought after by the CIA, FBI, KGB and a select number of German neo nazi groups who are convinced that he will father the leader of the 4th reich, despite not having Aryan descent.
The owner of this car was awarded a prize by some professor with huge glasses from the University of Cambridge for proving that by some mystical anomaly, the B4 Passat is susceptible to extreme space-time dilations and as such can reach up to 5 million kilometers, while other cars cannot even do 1 million. So it is possible, wierd huh.
Codename for the B4 Passat was The Phoenix in VW headquarters, because they knew that, instead of wearing down, the engine only got stronger the more it drove. The chief engine designer also went to jail as he was found guilty of partaking in occult activities. The chief engine designer's nephew also really liked phoenixes.
The engine architecture was secretly engineered during the early 40's for use in tanks and cement mixers, and also U boats. So it had to be strong, resilient, but also very quiet to not be detected underwater. Roosevelt ordered the execution of General Motors chief's secret lover, who he held personally accountable for the lack of an American counterpart to the original VW engine designs.
