Re: Rattles and squeaks

Mine is awful for rattles, with the main one coming from the sunroof. I havent had a look at it but if I push the smaller opening up it stops so for now I have a football stud wedging it.

There is a very small chance this piece of information will help, hope it does!

Re: Waiting for a call.

Well the damage was worse than I thought and a previous repair plate had already been bolted on. I had one of the mk1 golf kits put on for now as a temp fix, but it looks like I will need it properly welding up sooner rather than later as the whole bulkhead is flexing quite bad when I dip the clutch ...

Waiting for a call.

Car has been off the road for 2 weeks now and I don't know what was wrong with me but I never did anything to get it sorted. However yesterday I rang a local French car specialist whose mechanic owns a Scirocco and they could fit me in for 8:30 this morning :hugegrin: Woke up all excited ready to ...

Re: Fancy contributing to the club magazine?

Did the cambelt one ever get done? Changed mine recently and could probably put something together from the pictures I took.

Also planning on reinforcing the bulkhead with a Mk1 Golf kit in the near future if that will be of any use?

Re: Plastic Fuel Filler Necks?

I used a mk1 golf one on my 92 Scala. After a bit of chopping it fitted fine. Does seem to poke a little at the top and sit slightly differently yes, but has not caused a problem. The only issue is I don't have a locking cap at the moment - I never have more that a student amount of fuel anyway ...

Re: Clutch cable pulled through bulk head!

How much changing needs to be done to the mk1 golf repair kit to get it to fit? Does it need drilling?

Yeah didn't know that existed but found a few posts on here the other day. Have you done it yourself? Is it a good repair? Don't want it happening again in the near future.

Re: Clutch problem...

Been very unmotivated for some reason, however I am fairly confident that it is the bulkhead issue. I am not sure what it is supposed to look like, but it is at a funny angle and looks to have been pulled through. Thinking of maybe taking it to C&R in Notts and having it sorted there, would I be ...

Re: Ryan’s 1981 Blue Storm – NRB - FOR SALE

Shame you are selling this! Looks amazing.

Great tread read first thing on a Monday with a coffee! It has also given me some motivation to have my Scirocco sorted.

Re: Clutch problem...

Yeah, that was last year sometime when he mentioned it may need some welding at some point. I shall do that and take a look when I get home.

Re: Clutch problem...

I had a quick look at the bulkhead and it didn't look as if anything was different. What would it look like if it has given up?

The guy at C&R said it would need welding in the near future because it was on the way out.

Would that cause this problem then?

Clutch problem...

I am having trouble with my clutch. Basically the pedal is not returning to the top after being pressed. It stays about ¾ of the way down and moves freely within that range. I can just manage to get it in gear, but it takes quite a lot of force and crunches badly. It seems as if it would be an issue ...
