Looking For My Old Mk2 / Re: G915 BJU
Last post by CoulxGTI -
See below. I'd be tempted to put a request in claiming the vehicle is abandoned (the most likely of the valid reasons for asking). You might get lucky, but as it has no MOT or tax record it could well have been scrapped. Normally the car would be SORN if it was with an enthusiast undergoing restoration.

I would think you need the year code of your car to be E, which would put it as a 1984 build. If first registration date is prior to 8th January 1985 then that also means you qualify for zero tax

I was hoping my mk2 was built late 1984 as it was registered March 1985 but unfortunately I don't think  this is the case.
Bummer never mind thank you for the reply.

Hi, am trying to find the build date of my 1985 mk2 as it possibly could be able to register it for classic status (no longer have to pay VED)

Thank you for any advice.

Did anyone manage to find a way of getting this display out? Mine is exactly the same 🥲
Mine is on a 1990 16v GTI and I cannot seem to get it out, Im wondering if all the dials and fixings need removing, but I would of thought there must be a more sensible way I'm not seeing.
TIA

I.C.E & Electrical / Hight Beam Indicator Light not working
Last post by BFleming -
Hi all, 1989 1.8 GL owner here. Everything works on the car except the high beam indicator light. My friendly MOT tester said it's "erratic" and gave me a wink, but I know it's non functional. Like so many Mk2's, the car does have a headlight wiring relay kit installed. Would this be the cause of my problem? I reckon there has been some messing about done with the lighting loom anyhow, not just out at the headlights. It has a few "quirks".
The wiring diagrams suggest the high beam indicator light is powered from fuse 9, so will be a blue & white wire going to the instruments.
I don't have MFA, just a digital clock.
My instrument illumination is shockingly bad, so the instruments probably need to come out at some stage.
All other warning LEDs work, just not the headlight one.

All help appreciated.

As normal I’m behind with this; to be honest I get overwhelmed.

But I’m trailing a new way to be delivered quicker.  I will be emailing your members card to you.  These will be sent to the email address that is on the paypal.

Hope this goes as planned!
