The dash lights will not come on when the lights are on after the car is running. The dash lights only work when the car is not running. Do you think it maybe my ignition switch? In my previous question about my dash lights not working, I did not notice that they did come on before I cranked the ign...

My instrument dash lights go out when I turn my ignition switch on to start the car. I have dash lights on when I turn the key half way on but as soon as I continiue to turn the key my instrument lights go out and the clock stops working. This is not a problem during the day time when I do not need ...

I have a spare you can have for $10 plus shipping but you can always just buy a new one from Advance Auto for less than $100. You could probably find a coupon to get an extra $20 off. Mine works fine and it would probably fit in a large (if it fits, it ships box ) for $16.85 so for $26.85 I will shi...

I had my 86 Golf Diesel converted by a professional air conditioning shop. They replaced my compressor and dryer but it still would not cool. Than they replaced my fan with a dual fan system and it ended up costing me $1200 dollars. It worked great for one year and I can no longer afford to put any ...

I was going to buy the kit from http://www.inaengineering.com/ but the $600 dollar price tag turned me back to my conventional $2.00 alternator belt. Tried to pull off some parts to make my own conversion kit but turned out to be too much of a hassle. Good luck.

No instrument lights at all. No lights on heater switch panel or cluster.

I have no lights in my cluster and the fuse is fine. Any suggestions on where to look next. The bulbs are fine too.

I was attempting to upgrade my solid rotors to vented rotors on my 1986 Golf Diesel and the pads were way too thick. Do they make a special thinner disc pad for vented rotors that will work with my old calibers?

Can you tell me what size wrench I need to use on the hard line brake flange that attaches to the rubber hose?

Repalced my front disc calibers but can not seem to break the old rubber lines lose to replace with newer lines. The Rubber hose is attached to a metal brake line flange that has a metal clip on it. 1983 Golf diesel, It feels as if I will snape the metal brake line if I apply too much pressure. I ca...

Just bought a new turn signal switch arm and there was nothing wrong with my old one,1986 VW Golf Diesel but should fit Jetta's too. Paid $30 howabout $15 shipped. Mitchweinman@aol.com

Ordered a new turn signal switch and when I went to install it I discovered that the old switch was unplugged. The guy that installed my stereo must have unplugged it looking for a hot lead and did not re install the plug. Happy to have blinkers again and now I will be able to pass inspection.

I have a 1986 Golf diesel non turbo with air and my alternator belt was being destroyed every 1000 miles. I found a conversion kit for $600 from iabed@inaengineering.com but I did not want to loose my air condition since it still works. I have since managed to keep a belt on by replacing my alterant...

Will look for a local rebuild shop and get a quote before I buy a new one. Thanks.

Can you suggest a brand?
