Members' Cars / 1984 GTI
Last post by Sharknose -
A few recent pictures of my early GTI, after what has felt like a very long hibernation.
The car was built in May 1984 and is the launch specification, with a few differences to GTIs built later in 1984.























I have also uploaded some images of the mechanical refresh carried out by the previous owner, over a period of 4 years.
This may be of interest to someone restoring an early MK2 GTI to original spec.
RESTO PICS

I will be at a few VW shows this year, including the National Meet, which is always the highlight for me!

No worries mate.

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.

Hi Mate,

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)

i do indeed have ce2. thank you so much

monkey, i know your a resident guru, so can i pick your mind on another one, i have ce1 gti 8v, the indiacator green led, glows away gentle while the hazards or indiacators are of, then works fine when one of the above is in use, any ideas
