OK,thanks for the replies.

Looks like a project for spring 2026. If I can get one..... Most sites listing them state out of stock, including VW Heritage. I did find https://vwgolf1.com/index.php/product/m ... 172419523/ on the GolfMk1 forum.

I have noticed that the plastic boot covering the steering column to steering rack in the engine bay is cracked and open in places through no fault other than old age! How important is it to get it sealed and replaced?

If someone says "do it" then that leads to other questions like... how ...

Job done. Note to others. Getting the old blower out is mostly a destructive process as clips break on the old plastic and it is a bit of a faf rotating the blower around to get to each clip. Don't expect it to come out unscathed.

Split the new blower on the bench, put the motor bit in first, then ...

I know this is an old thread, but update from me, having to go through replacement of the unit. I bought a Febi replacement and it looks exactly the same.

Getting it out of the heater recess and then the scuttle tray was impossible. I had to separate the case of the motor housing and get it out in ...

Ho hum, the problem seems to have gone away. Honestly I didn't take the bulb out!

Yes, they are both mentioned in the manual, but with no indication of which engines have both. I think the low pressure one would be the only one relevant to a flickering warning light at idle. The parts diagram suggests if only the low pressure sensor is fitted, it would be mounted either in the ...

I found a post on a golf forum that suggests that the oil light and warning is based on 2 sensors - dynamic oil pressure sensor. One for low pressure and one read when the revs are over 2000rpm. https://www.reflectionsandshadows.com/cabby/dopws.html Is that valid to the Scirocco as well (Scala 1.8 ...

I am not a Facebook person either. tried it once, didn’t like it!

Nor X, insta, TikTok or any of that malarkey

There seems less and less activity on the forum these days. Where has everybody gone?

The oil pressure warning is flickering on (sometimes) at tickover. I am not convinced there's an issue with the overall pressure and I suspect maybe the sender is on it's last legs after 35 years.

First question: Does anyone have details of what the sender should be measured at when working ...

OffSide CV boot has split and searching for a replacement has thrown up so many variations of boot diameter.

1.8 Scala DX injection, 5 speed 1990.

Even VW Heritage comes up with different options and references the DX engine and 'from' VIN number references

Hate insurance companies.

More and more it is feeling like a scam. You can spend 45 minutes answering ridiculous questions (inside leg, urine sample, have you ever eaten at a McDonald's) yet you get the brush off when asking anything back like "why is it so expensive?" or "justify what each of ...

Are these still available? I see the last post was 2019.

Loverly looking 16v and JL

Resurrecting - My heater blower is on it's last legs and will need replacing in the spring. eefy's guide link seems to go to a dead end now. Does anyone have a new link or instructions as to how to remove / replace the blower?

Also, it seems a common part for Mk1 golf, T2.5, and other VW of the 80s ...
