Anybody know where to buy window channels and weatherstripping in general for an 82 Rabbit? I called one place, and the guy nearly laughed me off the phone.

Aren't there two different styles of caps? How different are the differences :wink: Here's one on ebay, says it covers 75-84, but again, I want to make sure that it's going to be the right style. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Fuel-Gas-Cap-Volkswagen-Jetta-Rabbit-Cabriolet-Scirocco_W0QQcmdZViewItemQ...

Slipped a tooth on the Injector Pump. That was it. I rotated the engine until TDC mark on flywheel, checked, sure enough, IP marks didn't line up. So I slackened the tensioner, made a mark on the cam sprocket for reference, and was able to free the belt and then rotated the pump one tooth. Fired her...

Checked the line with a flashlight (it was night) and didn't really see anything. So there is a filter in the fuel tank? Hmm. . .
I'm going to check the timing tomorrow, we'll see what we get.

thanks,

So I'm thinking that I jumped a cog on my IP sprocket. So my questions are these:

1. What makes the belt do that? I wasn't driving hard at all

2. Could it have been possible that it jumped the Cam sprocket too?

damn.

Won't idle, blows smoke

I was able to get it started the third time and nurse her home. At stop lights I had to hold the pedal down a bit to keep the rpm's up so that the ...

Ok, so everything works. I hacked into the hazard light switch and everything worked great! Those MB Quart speakers sound pretty clean!

So I just did a thorough checking of some wires and found that I got power from the red wire (16v) when the key was on and no power from the white and blue wire at all, any time. Then, I discovered that the fuse for the radio (on the fuse panel) was blown. But, weird thing is, when I replaced it, st...

It also says that the ground connection should be made somewhere on the body. . . is this necessary or can you use the brown wire from the wire loom?

Mine has 2 sets (4 total) of speaker wires, One big fat red wire, one big fat brown wire, and one greyish wire with a stripe. I hooked...
