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 ...

Re: Oil Pressure Gauge / Sensor
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 ...

Re: Oil Pressure Gauge / Sensor
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 ...

Oil Pressure Gauge / Sensor
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 ...

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

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

Hate insurance companies.

Re: New Heater Blower Fitting
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 ...
