Re: New Heater Blower Fitting

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.

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

Re: pays to shop around

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 ...

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 ...
