While drinking a cup of coffee I started wondering if you guys want to ask something about Finland or our culture etc.

Feel free to ask, I'll answer as good as possible

Members' Cars / Finnish 1.8 '89 Carby moredoor

January 06, 2021, 09:08:11 AM

Promised to make a topic when I get the car so here it is!

First one pic taken on the day I bought the Golf:

As you can see the paintwork is neglected and needs a good polish, surprisingly theres not much rust except on the boot lid.

Did a little test with finishing compound on the hood and I can tell it's going to look awesome when polished fully:

I also changed the tail lights which I bought from a fellow golf enthusiast for 10€:

(The exhaust is awful I know... Going to fix the silencer mounting so it wouldn't look so dumb.)

Also had a problem with temp & fuel gauges not working and it was just the regulator which had given up:

Replaced with a new 7180 regulator which has opposite pinout than the original so it has to be mounted upside down,
it wasn't a problem 'cause I just mounted the heat sink on top of it:

And after a lot of Finnish swearing in the cold and fighting with the speedo cable, I now had working gauges:

Also found this for only 40 euros and yes it's and original auto-plas product:

I also bought a Hella rear spoiler but I'm not going to use it so it is for sale.

I.C.E & Electrical / Temp & Fuel gauges not functioning

January 01, 2021, 05:45:34 PM

So I finally bought the golf and it has only one issue that is the temp & fuel gauges not working. I also don't have any warning lights when power is switched on except the battery warning light.

I measured the temp sensors and there is no 10 volts present from any pin to battery negative.

I'm new to mk2 golf so I basically still have a mangina.

New Members Say Hi! / Greetings from Finland!

Hello everyone,

I'm Sami and I live in Finland. I'm 25-years old and I've been a VW fanatic since I was 18.

I'm going to buy a Mk2 Golf in the beginning of next year, I have already checked and inspected the car and the seller was willing to save it for me and he even removed the for sale-ads! What a nice guy..

What I know about the car is that it has a Weber dgv carb, 4 to 1 manifold and a K&N intake kit. From inside it's like new and the paintjob just needs a good firm polish, it's the typical red color with sun fading. 350,000km on the clock.

Cheers
