I.C.E & Electrical / Fog lights
Last post by MSP -
Hi all

I have located and bought some hella front fogs for my type 19

I have located the the wiring under the coolant tank and ordered the relay to power this up

First question

Is it a power feed to the lights and then earth to the chassis or can the earth run back to the same plug?

Second question

Where can you get brackets to mount the lights or can someone take some pics of theirs so I can make some up

Any pics of the lights set up would help please

Other Problems / Re: 8v GU with Weber 32/34 DMTL AND 4-2-1 exhaust Super lean
Last post by Keekster64 -
I changed the manifold to a GTi one, and fitted a corrado downpipe and GTi exhaust on my 1600 Golf Driver and didn't even have to retune the weber carb.  It ran fine, and power has improved above 4k revs.  So this suggests changing the exhaust manifold and exhaust makes little difference in itself. So the problem is there is either an air leak in the intake somewhere, or some passages in the carb are blocked.

Interior, Upholstery & Trim / Headlining cloth coming down.
Last post by Hutch118 -
Hi everyone, not posted in a very long time and still have my 16V.

My headline cloth has come away from the backing in the rear end of the car, does anyone know if there’s a repair or spray glue I can use to stick it all back up again ? It’s not too bad but don’t want anymore coming down.

Thanks.

Mk2 Golf Chat / Mk2 golf 8v gti crank no start
Last post by Ferg -
Hi all,

A couple of weeks ago I was getting ready to take my 1988 mk2 8v GTI to a car show. I’ve had the car 3 years and never had any issues with it. I’d left the radio on and the battery was dead so I jump started it and then charged the battery overnight.
The next morning I took off to the car show and got 10 minutes down the road when the car died. It initially fired up again but died again 2 minutes later. Since then it cranks but won’t start.
The fuel pump is still priming and it’s getting fuel. I took the king lead off the dizzy and put it beside an earth point. It’s only getting one spark when I stop cranking and turn the key off.
I’ve tried a new ignition coil which hasn’t changed anything.
Any other tips on other options to try?

Thanks
