Re: Seat belts

It’s an 1980. It’s not too fussy about fitting original spec. More importantly I’d like a usable safe option. Thank you.

Door / Window Seals and trim Mk1

Hello all
Quick query- anyone have a good source for window and door parts suppliers. Seals, rubbers, guides etc. VW Heritage seem expensive and selective with what is offered.
Additionally trying to source a working tailgate strut

Appreciate any advice.

Re: Engine cutting out while driving

Re: Engine cutting out while driving

Driving. Was dropping down speed and it hesitated, then cut out. Got it rolled into the side margin then attempted to start. Started on fulll choke then died within a few seconds. Waited an hour and it restarted. Thanks
