Re: Box Arch Mk2

All looks really nice until you get to the filler cap! Couldn't that be shaped to match the arch?

PCB repair?

Has anyone successfully repaired a broken connection on the instruments PCB? A weak connection that was barely hanging on broke whilst I had the clocks apart, I have repaired it with electrical tape!

Re: Mk2 Scirocco electrical gremlins

Afternoon all.. finally fixed most of my electrical bugs.

Replaced the rev counter and that now works.

Hand brake warning light now working

Lights seem to be fixed.

Only new problem is the high beam. Stopped working after I took the gauges out? Any ideas?

Re: Mk2 Scirocco electrical gremlins

Re: Mk2 Scirocco electrical gremlins

Whereabouts are you based Daniel? Maybe near another Rocco owner who's handy with the electrics. Great that the car has found a good home. I'm just outside Peterborough.. the car is more than usable just that sometimes things work and sometimes they don't! I have just removed the instrument cluster ...

The first electrical problem is the rev counter, when the ignition is turned on the gauge immediately reads maximum 7000 ...
