I.C.E & Electrical / Dash relays, Golf Driver 1992
Hi,

I'd be grateful for some help, I have a Haynes on the way but ion the meantime I'm working a bit blind.

I'm a new Golf Driver owner. Bought as a non runner, the , PO had a mechanic round to look at it. They took out the fuses and then got lost with it, clearly didn't have a clue , they were looking to plug in and run diagnostics.

So I have a non running Golf with a handful of fuses. No crank but first thing I need to fix is the electrics and I'd be grateful if someone has any info or pictures of the relay box and where things go I could use as a reference. I ask becuase I found 2 sources and both are different.

The relays I think may have been swapped around I really don't know and I am quite certain these are not the relays for the car.

This is what I have got. Clearly some are missing and poss upside down ?

I got some 'spares in a box but unsure if they are just a bundle thrown in or actually of any use

Lastly on the coil there seems to be something missing.

Any pointers really appreciated, I know just sticking relays in and hoping really isn't going to get me anywhere.  I'm leaning to buying a whole set of them and starting afresh

New Members Say Hi! / Hello from Chelmsford
Hi,

Just picked up (back of a trailer) a 1992 Golf Driver, one of the last Mk2s.

Paintwork is dreadful, doesn't start but its solid enough. The chap I bought it from said he paid some mechanics to get it going but they came along to plug in diagnostic and got lost with it, ended up taking out relays etc which is my first task, to get them all back in the right place then figure whats what. (forum post coming up !)

The plan is to pass it onto my son, he's always loved classics, especially golfs so this one will be cherished and used.
