I have these tools most are custom made for timing, compression checking, and valve guide compressor. I have no need for these tools I have them for sale on offerup, but I'm willing to give them away to someone on here if you want to pay shipping. https://offerup.com/item/detail/685568769/ If you co...

I no longer have my rabbit pickup, but I have some tools I figured I would ask here if anyone has interest in buying. I have an adapter for setting the timing on a diesel pump without the dial indicator, I do have a dial indicator I could include depending on price your wanting to pay. I also have a...

OK, I bough a new battery today, it was 5 years old the other one and I got tired of charging it continually. I get the alternator to start charging by hooking up a fan to that blue wire and putting a load on the alternator, I have been working on replacing the wire but have not gone all the way yet...

Will the alternator start charging and turn the red led off ? at idle ? Yes it will . (Push button) connected to Battery plus and Positive slipring connection. (Simple to do),

Continue, and explain.

OK I cut the blue wire and the light goes out, so what could possibly be wrong with the wire?
This blue wire is supply power to turn the light out?
If this is the case then this does not start the charging.

Anyone else experience this problem? I've had the same problem. I wasted plenty of time doing different things, but it ended up being a bad "blue" wire. Fixed it, and it was fine. What year truck do you have? My truck is an 80, you guys are talking about possible problem with the blue wir...

Ok, I replaced the voltage regulator and did not take care of the problem.
Any other ideas, I need an electric print then maybe I can figure this out.

On my truck I have always had to rev the engine up for the alternator to start charging.
Anyway I have been OK with this, but now I have to rev the hell out of it before the charge light goes off.
What controls when the alternator starts charging?
Anyone else experience this problem?

I have been using a 1.5 head non hydraulic on a 1.6 hydraulic block without any adapters I did drill the bolt holes out a little but it was very little some bolts actually fit.

Yes there is 2 switches on my 80 VW and the plug for the brake lights on the master cylinder was all wet so I did some cleaning and the battery has been charging over the weekend I have not messed with it much more and I probably will not until all the battery cells are at a good charge.

Where is the brake lights switch on my 80 Rabbit Pickup?

Thank you.

Are the door pannels the same on the truck as the car rabbit?
I need some for an 81 pickup and I found some on an 79 Rabbit will they work?

Yes and no I could live with it but I don't want to I have a VW diesel and I do OK on mileage driving to and from work and my other cars are not too bad Except for my Bronco that averages like all SUV's.
Bad is for the fisherman that drive a boat that's averaging 2 MPG.
So we got it OK
