Other Car Sales & Wanted / Positive battery cable - ‘91 8v mk
Hi

After the cable from the positive terminal connector from the battery to the starter motor as it’s not connecting properly which is causing some issues when start the golf

It’s an 8v ‘91 mk2.   Would add a picture but not sure how

Anyone have one of these in decent condition?

Heating & Cooling / Re: Coolant pipe
Yes the metal one that runs around the car

There are 2 versions and I bought the injection model version through VW heritage.   It’s the same image in the Hayes manual and also from the VW dealer.  Looking at the Hayes manual the carburettor version has the same outlet - so both versions have it

The one on my car had been modified - as in it looked like that section had been cut out as there was a rubber pipe connecting the (now) 2 parts.

If someone can point to me what the alternative version would look like as I’ve not see it

Heating & Cooling / Coolant pipe
I’ve just bought a new coolant pipe for my mk2 8v gti but it doesn’t seem to match the old one in my car (unless that was modified)

The new one has an outlet near the top that faces towards the engine which matches the picture in my Hayes manual. This outlet isn’t on the one in my vehicle. 

Where is this supposed to go to or can I just block it up?

Would be interested to know how well the material on these match the original material

You can buy the original material from VW heritage - maybe you can buy that abs get the company on eBay to use it
