Engine & Gearbox / Re: Strange Noise After Exhaust Partial Replacement
It might be that your front engine mount is failing, allowing the engine to swing back and touch the bulkhead?

Technical / Re: Rev counter issues
Ohh, while I've not had a CE1 with that issue, I have had a CE2.
It was after a stalk swap, I can't remember if the stalk was faulty or if the connector wasn't pushed in all the way.
Either way, I'd start there, have the connectors in and out and see if that changes anything.

Technical / Re: Rev counter issues
That's correct, a diesel alternator usually has an additional "W" output to run a rev counter.
That then goes to A2/6 as per below...

(I'm assuming you have a CE2 setup)

@AndyBa haha yeah and sleep under the stars 😂 that mk2 bench was surprising comfy! I will have to see if I can find my tent if not I will be on marketplace too!
Just saying, a hotel room is probably cheaper than a tent...comes with a toilet and shower too!

Was hoping to make it to the Bristol meet Friday, had the Corrado fuelled up and everything.
But the boy wasn't well, so we had to pass on it.

Also, not many garages know how to do old school cars nowadays.
Also, also, you can test the cam belt, turn the engine over by hand, if it:
A Spins freely
B Comes back to the timing marks
You're all good. Just make sure things like the tensioner is torqued up properly.
Also, also, also with the new parts the car will be service ready for the national meet!

Mk2 Golf Chat / Re: Power steering worth it ?
That being said, I do a far bit of low speed manoeuvring, and I like an easy life.
Besides, with the 3.2 conversion, it'll be hassle to remove the pump and then find an idler wheel to replace it.
You can just buy a second hand rack and Corrado pipe work, then put it all in.

Good that you have a sensible MOT guy now, I've just lost mine.

I had a similar issue, swapped the calliper out and all was well again.

Other Problems / Re: Mk2 Golf 1.3 - High Temp on Gauge but no warning light or fan
Your gauge is actually sitting about right then.
For some reason, mk2 gauges usually sit a little to the right of centre when at running temp.
