    So strange. My 1980 Rabbit Diesel has been running everyday with no issues. Tried starting this afternoon and I noticed the glow plug light didn't illuminate. Still waited about 20 seconds before turning the key. Car starts (starter whirls like normal, very quickly), but can't get the engine to...
  5. MK1 Rabbit Electrical
    Hey guys, I have a sick caddy and it needs new wiring bad. The wires going into the dash cluster were in really poor condition. I have both the Haynes and Bentley manuals and neither illustrate the 18 pin cluster or wiring. I traced the printed circuit and compared that with the Russian 79-84...

    I need the vacuum line schematics for the a/c heater controls in my '82 Rabbit pickup. The control unit i have does not match the one shown in the Bentley manual. Mine has the 5 vacuum lines all in a straight row, not in a circular configuration like the one in the manual Thanks, Carsonic

    My aaz motor leaks at the valve cover. I have changed the gasket 3 times but am able to stop the leak. This is a center bolt valve cover that I suspect is somehow bent slightly. What have others done to solve this problem.
  8. Jetta MK2 / 1984-1992
    This subject may have been addressed many times, but I could not access it. Anyone have any experience in deviating from the recommended pump timing in trying to improve economy. Bentley's calls for .90 +or- .02 with a checking range of .83 to .97, this seems like a fairly wide range for a...
  9. Jetta MK2 / 1984-1992
    New to the forum and I figured this would be the best place to get some much needed help. This is the first repair job I've had where I didn't know where to begin. My Bentley service manual has guided me these 26 years, but when I looked for instructions on replacing the ac condenser I came...
  10. TDI / Diesel Owners Club
    Bentley say "normal operation temperature". About 180F for my cylinder head. Is it a good idea to first remove the injectors with the engine cold and clean the threads and apply some anti-seize?? Then warm it up. I'm a little concerned about taking the injectors out of a hot aluminum head. I...

    I have an 81 caddy with an 84 GTI complete swap from previous owner. I believe my alternator is on it's last legs, I'm getting 13.5v when running, but as soon as I turn the AC on (causes rad fan to spin up) it drops to 12.5 to 12.8v. I'm looking at my Bentley, youtube, and threads and it the...

    So one day I park my car after driving all day. Car was driving fantastic, trans felt great nothing out of the ordinary. I try to go and I notice my shifter all of a sudden cant move to the right. I have a 4 speed so all I can access is 1-2-R-N. Okay so I replace all the linkages one by one...
  14. Jetta Owners Club
    Hello I have a 2003 Volkswagen Jetta GLX VR6 that my daughter drives. We live in CT and after a recent snowstorm she left to back to college well, she tried. She managed to get 2/3 of the way there and swerved to miss a car and hit a snowbank. Fortunately she wasn't going fast and is ok but...

    I'm replacing a 1.7 gas caddy motor (1981) with a 1983 Cabriolet 1.7 motor. I'm wondering if I can use the same distributor from the '81 with the '83. It could be the '83 was from Germany and the caddy engine is USA. If so, the Bentley seems to indicate the need for a different distributor. I'm...
  16. Passat Owners Club
    Hi, I am about to inherit a 1998 Passat with a diesel engine. Can someone recommend a good repair manual for this car. I tried Haynes (and Chilton), but they exclude the diesel engine. The Bentley Publishers manual also seemed to exclude the diesel engine as well. Any advice would be greatly...
  17. MK1 Rabbit Electrical
    Does anyone have a fix for a completely loose headlight knob? I realize this just happens after 34 years. It pulls right off the shaft. I've read (Bentley and this forum) the procedure to remove the knob and shaft from the switch, but there is no mention removing/reattaching the knob from/to...
