Re: Factory rear inertia seatbelts - Mk2

Looks awesome. I want to do the same. Surely some of these parts were on other VW of the era?

Re: Air intake - Scala

For what it is worth, I used heating ducting from the aux heater in my camper van. It is a little tight on the fit, but has worked OK for the last 2 years. It is like this stuff https://www.amazon.co.uk/Exhaust-Diameter-Length-Diesel-Heating/dp/B082KJLPVW 45mm or 60mm I believe, I would need to doub...

UPDATE on the Update... Replaced the cylinder (managed to salvage the shoes) and it did it again. It turns out I had a micro-split in the bleed kit connecting hose and it, like seeping through the bleed nipple threads, allowed fluid to seep between the backplate and cylinder. I got a new bleed kit a...

Re: Replacing handbrake cables. How difficult?

Update: As mentioned, replacing the handbrake cables is not that difficult. What is difficult is dealing with other issues that surface during spannering! A couple of hours of handbrake cables has turned into 4 days of swearing. After taking off the NSR wheel, I found the cylinder was beginning to l...

Re: Light on Warning

Awesome, thx for the responses. A simple as a relay! Now to find one - Joost?

Reading some other VW forums, there is a suggestion that relay 99 is also needed - the variable wiper one.

Light on Warning

Has anyone retro fitted a lights on warning to their vehicle? I regularly leave them switched on and a warning buzzer or something would help.

Re: Boot lock seal

Both have very high shipping costs (for me in Slovenia, anyways), twice the value of the item. I am going to have to wait until my next trip to blighty and pick one up.

Re: Boot lock seal

Where to buy the book lock seal?
I got some cheapies from China and they are useless. Any good suppliers, specifically in Europe as my UK Scirocco is in Slovenia now.
