bought a resto 89 golf 8v gti last year, local garage is completing a major resto. When driving the car home last week almost lost power and couldn't get out of first gear. My mechanic thinks the wiring to the temperature sensors switch in front on the engine on the cylinder head, which could do with new electrical plugs, these need to be cut off a car as they are part of the loom. Tried everywhere and no-one appears to hold this. Any help much appreciated on obtaining the necessary. Cheers
I purchased a mk2 project from UKD in August. Had a local garage lined up to get the mk2 back on the road, undertaking welding, brake, engine, bodywork n respray. They had the car for 6 weeks but have just informed me closing for 6mths to rebuild workshop without completing works. Reaching out for some help- does anyone know a vw restorer in West Sussex ( I'm based Haywards Heath) area? Or point me in the right direction. Car not MOT'd etc Cheers
Hi just joined the club, I missed out on a gti many years ago, and finally at 54, purchased a 89 5dr GTI 8V, one-owner project in atlas grey. Just starting out on the refurbishment project.
