Re: speedometer cluster lights

speedometer cluster lights

Anyone know where I can buy new light bulbs for my 1986 speedometer cluster. My bulbs are dead and I can not seem to find them on any parts list.

Re: Speedometer Circuit Board

Can you suggest any specialist that would be capable of such surgery? Would I need a special solder if I attempt it myself?

Re: Speedometer Circuit Board

If it has a clock instead of a tach it should work.

Speedometer Circuit Board

My 1986 Golf Diesel speedometer and clock that work fine but my instrument lights do not come on. I tore the plastic or mylar circuit board when I replaced my speedometer. Any one have an old plastic circuit board that runs a speedometer and analog clock?

AC Charge

I am attempting to recharge my 1986 Diesel Golf with 134A. The Chilton Manuel states that it holds 40 ounces of R12. Is that a direct conversion for 134A? ( 40 oz of 134 equaling 40 oz of R120) ? What would my pressure reading be on the high and low sides with 134A , would they be the same as the R1...

Re: WTB Right rear taillight - 86 Jetta

Checked out my stash of parts and found the tail lights. Shiping from North Carolina with tracking would be $10 and I would like to get $10 for the lense. The only problem is that I noticed a very fine and dificult to see small hair line crack on the Red Lense cover. You can not really notice it but...

I have one if you still need one. Just let me have your address so I can tell you how much shipping will be and how much you want to give me for it and it will be yours.

Rear Seat Replacement

I have a 1986 VW Golf 4 door diesel and the rear bench seats fabric is decaying and rotting from time and heat exposure. I was recently at Pull A Part and noticed a number of 1995 & 1998 Golf Jettas and Golfs with extremely nice uphostery. The rear seats look as if they are attached the same as ...

Speedometer Circuit Board

I replaced the plastic circuit board backing on my cluster but there was no gold contact left behind the bulbs. I now have no instrument lighting and I am pretty sure the bulbs were good but I do know that the contacts were worn off from changing the bulbs out. Is there anything I can apply to make ...

Side window gaskets

My rubber gaskets that slide up against the windows when you crank them up and down have deteriorated and get jammed up in the rails. I have a 4 door 1986 Golf Diesel and was hoping someone could turn me onto a supplier to buy new rubber runners. They are located on the outside of the windows.

Re: Dash Lights Question

I have replaced the light switch with other switches with no change in my problem so I do not think it is the switch. I have adjusted the dimmer and that is not the problem either. Can someone tell me where the X relay is located?
