Mk2 Golf Chat / Re: Mk2 golf 1.3 1987 steering wheel spline??

September 17, 2021, 03:08:30 PM

My mechanic told me that the horn is working and the fault is in the steering wheel and I need a new one or at least new internals to get the horn to work but I thought for me it might just be more straight forward to get a whole whee then sell the not working one

Mk2 Golf Chat / Mk2 golf 1.3 1987 steering wheel spline??

September 17, 2021, 01:25:36 PM

My horn in my steering wheel isn’t working, so before I order a steering wheel I was wondering what spline should my steering wheel be?
Is there a quick way to know without taking off my steering wheel?

Thanks :)

Mk2 Golf Chat / E10 fuel

I’ve been speaking to different people and heard lots of things. Either the premium fuel at Esso or Shell. Does anybody know which fuel is best to use as the country phases into use of e10 fuel?

Mk2 Golf Chat / 1.3 4+e

July 21, 2021, 08:13:27 AM

I have a 1.3 4+e mk2 and wanted to know more about the E gear. So is it a gear all by itself or does it do something to the 4th gear? It feels like gear 5.5 when driving it. Nothing urgent was just wondering.

Thanks :)

Interior, Upholstery & Trim / Re: Need new headlining

Buy the whole thing, it's less hassle and straight swap, by the time you take the old one out and break it into pieces it cheaper to replace, my mate has done his, good quality https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/184392433841?hash=item2aeea540b1:g:eOIAAOSwDDpdzDJ5

My headliner has also been sagging and needed new one this looks good. Sounds like the general consensus is that a DIY job on the headline doesn’t really last? So am I better off purchasing this one or getting my current one out and giving it a shot myself? If so what do I need to do to be able to refurb my headline myself?

Thanks :)

Mk2 Golf Chat / Re: Mk2 golf small bumper arches

Think I understand, sounds like you have a lower spec rear arch and are hence missing the small section between the arch and trim , I would have thought only a few would notice it missing, after all there is already a section of arch showing between the arch and rear bumper?

Yes thats true.

These are the arches I would prefer to be fair just to fill that gap has anyone got any or know anyone who has these arches lying around?

I think that picture is a mix up of various parts. The GL model doesn't have full arch trims, just small spats at the front of the arch ...

Looks like someone has taken a small bumper arch and joined it.

It's likely you just have an arch from a pre-87 car. Where the side strips are not joined.

this is my old one (86) before I put the side trims back on. They are solid rubber and stuck on side trims on earl cars. 87 onwards has holes in the body and wider plastic side trims.

Yes that is exactly what the arches I have to put on look like. So do you think the gap between the rear arch and door trim is just normal and not worth getting newer rear arches? or should I sell these and get the ones which have a piece on the arch that bridges that gap?

Thanks for the reply buddy. That is true. I saw one picture of a mk2 where they did this...

If you have a look at the rear arch it looks like it has been cut and then the remaining part that connects to the door trim is just the original trim which I already have on the car. Is that cut? And would you recommended cutting the rear plastic arches to give that look or is that unheard of?

Thanks :)

Mk2 Golf Chat / Mk2 golf small bumper arches

July 11, 2021, 09:14:44 AM

I have got small bumper arches (191853817 arches). And I have a 1987 mk2 golf. Then I placed them on the car to test for size, between the rear arch and door trim there was a gap but the 191853818 arches have a piece on the rear arch to bridge that gap. Should I get them arches instead?

Mk2 Golf Chat / Indicator Fault 1987 1.3

March 24, 2021, 09:53:56 AM

Hi everyone,

I'm a new mk2 owner.

When I use the indicator the interior light stays on and there is no light on the outside.

I will check the fuse but I'm getting confused on which fuses to check because for a 1987 they use the ce1 fuse box but alot of forums are saying the relay is 21.
Which fuses and relays do I need to check and is there anything else I can test to narrow down the issue?

Thanks
