Mk2 Golf Chat / Heating issues
Last post by Marlbro -
Hi all, I’ve recently got my baby back on the road but struggle to drive in this weather because I keep fogging up because the heater doesn’t work

It’s a relatively new heater core 3-4years old and maybe 3000 miles so I doubt that’s the issue, no leaks and no air bubbles in the coolant.

I’ve shown here in red and blue what’s pipes are hot and cold, the bypass valves are the cutoff for where the heat stop, could this be the issue and I need to go back to straight pipes or new bypass valves

Hi - mine was doing the same but it did turn out to be the membrane - just had a small fail

I tucked in the old membrane and did a half membrane at the bottom- if that makes sense

Mk2 Golf Chat / Stop the Leak! Please.
Last post by Mk1mark -
Hey folks,

Hopefully someone can help me. I'm at my absolute wits-end with my MK2 leaking.

The car has to be parked with the nose facing slightly down hill, with the drivers door closest to the kerb (which also means the camber of the road means the drivers side is lower than the passengers.

The passenger door seal is leaking at the front. The seal is perfect, the drain holes in the door are clear, the vapour barrier is sealed water-tight (even though it looks crap) the water is just pooling at the point pictured, entering the car and soaking the passenger side footwell. What can I do?

I.C.E & Electrical / Dash clocks

I am sure that I came across  someone on here that was rather gifted and could take dash clocks, check them out electronically and replace dodgy bits. Cannot seem to find that person now! If you are still a member and can fix my clocks please get in touch. Cheers

Interior, Upholstery & Trim / Carpet and door seal trim
Last post by Gazpacholulu -
Usual problem of swimming pool in the footwell. Not the usual door card problem but it looks af if the door aperture seal has finally given up. Came to replace it and there is a plastic trim, with one screw, that covers the seal and carpet at the bottom of the door aperture. Removed the screw and the trim appears fixed. Not wanting to force it, I looked up the parts lists diagrams but could not find this part on any of them. Just wondered if there is a knack to there removal or is it just brute force and ignorance?

Hello all. I have an '88 Tour that has been passed through the family. Still looks and runs pretty well with just a few mods: webber carb and disc brakes come to mind.
