Könnte ich den ganzen Tag gucken. Mein schöner Golf 7 R ist ein echter Wolfsburger und war ab und zu mal wieder in der Autostadt. Immer ein Erlebnis und ein Ausflug wert 👍
For those unsure where their VW product is being assembled, here is a simplified crib sheet using the VIN for tracing its provenance. Deciphering three specific digits in the VIN string can tell us a lot. VAG VINs are split into three sections: 1. Digits 1-3 = global manufacturing identifier 2. Digits 4-9 = vehicle description/configuration 3. Digits 10-17 = specific vehicle identification 1st VIN Character: identifies country of main assembly. 1 or 4: USA 2: Canada 3: Mexico A: South Africa J: Japan S: England V: Spain W: Germany 3rd VIN Character: identifies the type of vehicle. G is for sport utility vehicles, U is Audi's passenger car and V or W is Volkswagen's passenger car, etc. Knowing this, a few examples would be: WVW - Volkswagen Cars Germany WVG - Volkswagen SUVs (G=Gelande) VWV - Volkswagen Cars Spain 1VW - Volkswagen Cars USA 3VW - Volkswagen Cars Mexico WAU - Audi Cars Germany 11th VIN Character: reveals the assembly plant for the vehicle. An abridged list for VW+Audi products: A: Ingolstadt, Germany (Audi) B: Brussels, Belgium (Audi) C: Chattanooga (USA) D: Bratislava, Slovakia E: Emden, Germany H: Hannover, Germany M: Puebla, Mexico N: Neckarsulm, Germany (Audi) P: Anchieta, Brazil T: Taubaté, Brazil U: Uitenhage, SA V: Palmela, Portugal W: Wolfsburg, Germany Y: Pamplona, Spain 1: Győr, Hungary (Audi) 2: Anting, China 3: Changchun, China
VW is the most populair car in the Netherlands, you know why? Because the interior is timeless. I think the interior is amazing and even the outside is amazing! VW knows how to make cars. I love VW! Greetings from the Netherlands!
I own a Wolfsburg produced Reflex Silver Mark 6 Golf 5 Door. The build quality is wonderful, from the fit and finish to the base reliability of the car. No previous car I have owned has had a better quality of materials and assembly and that includes domestic (US) and imported from Japan. I have also driven many other cars through rentals and nothing from Korea could even come close. If you maintain a German built VW according to VW's published maintenance schedule you will find them highly reliable and excellent in performance.
Im from Brazil, i own the Wolfsburg WVW chassi, 13/14 Golf MK7 Premium Pack, It is a extremelly reliable car and Still stunning till this Days, the desing, the intern ambient lights and the details of the cars Will never get old
How neat. Since the start of the Mk.7, the U.S. market Golfs, including my 2015 Golf SportWagen, are instead made in the Puebla, Mexico factory and bought in through a port near Galveston, Texas. The only Wolfsburg-assembled Golfs we get are the Golf R and the e-Golf. Of course, I haven't noticed any differences in build quality.
+Kyree S. Williams The European versions are of course built in Wolfsburg. You know there is a lot of differences between the European Passat and the American Passat, Its weird!
Hi, I'm NK105KMLS, a robot at the wolfsburg plant. Unfortunately VW decided to fire me as I had made a few mistakes during production. I am currently unemployed, but can happily make breakfast, beautiful spaghetti bolognese and can mass produce in large scales.. But I am rather useless at washing up, typing and writing using a pen.
Hi Daniel, I've created a playlist which contains footage of all Golfs being assembled, from Mk1 to Mk 6, and you can find a link to it in the description of this video. Some of the footage is very old, so please make allowances for the quality. I've also put a request into the VW Archive to see if I can find more Mk4 footage for you. Hope that's of some interest to you; thanks for watching.
It is Golf 6 @ 8:54, look at the round fog lamps and the chrome stripe in the lower part of the bumper. Golf 7 has rectangular fog lamps, and a much wider chrome stripe.
VW Puebla Plant in Mexico, with TSI engine motor plant in Silao, GTO, have started the assembly Golf 7 for all America. My brother, skilled technician, are working in VW Silao Plant
You can tell the difference by the rear brake calipers. In the golf mk7 there are placed on top of the disc while on the mk6 they are on the side just as the fronts.
It's to illuminate the inside of corners. When the lights are on and steering angle is greater than 15 degree's the inside fog light will turn on to give better visibility.
Nope, it's the cornering light which switches on the left or right fog light depending on the degree and direction to which the steering wheel is turned towards.
Brandon - 'bulb out' , this not a quality problem or malfunfuction, it is VW's technology in the design of the MK6 and MK7 Golf , it is a turn signal especially useful if you are driving in fog or poor weather conditions ! (highlights the road in the direction of travel).
I bought my first Volkswagen after owning four Subaru's, which never gave me any problems. Unfortunately, though my new Golf is great to drive, the DSG failed after less than 4000 kms. Though Volkswagen Australia were very helpful, it has left me feeling uncertain about the car's reliability.
I used to think VWs were unreliable.. And then I bought one.. 171k miles without a single problem. It drives me 50 miles every weekday. I love my VW Passat.
+cornelis sales -- The last Passat to share a platform with the A4 was the B5 and B5.5. It had the A4's longitude-engined/FWD setup...except when equipped with 4MOTION (which was identical to Audi's Quattro system), where it became rear-biased. But the B6, B7, NMS B7 and B8 have all been transverse-engined and FWD...and have essentially used lengthened and widened Golf architectures.
The problem is the DSG. The technology is not good in many brands. I used to own a MINI and was uneasy about the DSG technology so I got a manual. Only six months later, the BMW Group issued a MASSIVE recall in North America saying the DSGs were having issues. I never trust the design. My current car also has a manual because the only other choice was a DSG. I don't know why the DSG crowd whines "But but but the DSG is 1-2 seconds faster!!" Big deal, I don't race my car so I'm perfectly happy with the 6-speed and it's a beauty: very quick and easy to shift and the GTI, like the MINI feels like it was made for a manual. My brother had a 2005 Altima with a DSG and it was a piece of crap. It was so bad that it ruined the resale value. He thought it would fetch $3,000 US at trade-in. Every dealer refused to offer more than $1,800 for it! Nissan's reputation seems to have crapped out too. LOL.
I love how there's very few people involved at the cutting, soldering, and actual assemblying process. All robots. Only people working there have menial jobs like at 1:19 , a position i'd like to call "Feeler of body panels".
Kauf dir halt nen Dacia, aber wenn du mal einen Unfall hast beschwer dich nicht das er ungefähr sogut schützt wie ein Papkarton. Die Crashtests zu dem Thema sind einschlägig bekannt. Des weiteren bringt dich ein gebrauchter VW immer noch weiter als die Discounterware vom Franzmann. gute Fahrt
1 no es gol, se llama Golf. 2 no es una falla, se llama "cornering light" o asistente de vuelta (técnicamente usa el faro de niebla del lado de giro para "iluminar" mejor el camino. y 3 es Wolfsburg no "wolsburg". Infórmese mi estimado y después comenta, gracias.
if there are small external differences, there are big differences in terms of chassis: the mk7 uses a new-designed universal platform for all VW group hatchbacks from now on (for ex. the new Audi A3 and seat Leon). the Wolfsburg plant keeps making mk6s for the american market, with production lines in common with mk 7
Ihr ladet ein Video über die Produktion des Golf 7 hoch und vergesst fast alles. Am Anfang sieht man das Schweißen der Bleche und plötzlich fährt ein fertiger Golf 7 auf eigenen Reifen raus. Finde ich schade. Man sieht weder wie das Armaturenbrett reinkommt oder die Sitze, Türen, Stoßstange, Scheinwerfer noch wie der Motor eingebaut wird. Sehr schade. Dennoch ist der Golf 7 natürlich ein super Auto. Habe auch einen. 1.4 TSI 140PS.
Si pero no te olvides que esas máquinas para ser diseñadas y producidas también ocupan muchos puestos de trabajo. Obviamente no sé cuanta mano de obra ahorran las empresas, que en definitiva es su objetivo, de hoy y de siempre es maximizar beneficios. Todo empezó con al producción en serie de Henry Ford y la aplicación de la teoria Tayloriana de eficiencia en tiempos y movimientos, donde el hombre era un robot...Hoy, si no eres mano de obra calificada perdiste.
This probably the reason a lot of vws have issues. I have had quite a few vw and several of them have been junk. Loved my 2008 beetle and love my 2012 bug but I'm just waiting issues to start. I hope not!
First of all because I want to and second of all I was talking about the older vw I had in the 90's and early 00's. I haven't had any issues with my 2008 and 2012.
Cool video showing lots of pieces needing good manufacturing technique. Slightly off topic, I don't see how a Mexican built Golf VII would have the same quality as one from Germany. I heard on a different RU-vid video that VW uses locally produced parts. Except for the engine and transmission. Its my belief that Mexican factories have a ways to go before they can claim being world class manufactures. Oh, I am of Mexican descent. It takes many years to get your processes in order.
