Wayne2015 10 Posted April 29, 2015 hmmmm, looking at that, looks like I have a mk2 golf switch in mine too :scratch: Welcome to the Golf thread, pal! :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wayne2015 10 Posted April 29, 2015 Same switch, different front just as susceptible to catching fire when the internals break down with age if you have the standard wiring circuit. Damn! :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wayne2015 10 Posted April 29, 2015 It runs straight from the switch down over the top of the fusebox iirc Wayne. It's not too difficult if your careful to replace the whole loom. JusJust trace the loom to the block on the fusebox (top right iirc). Slide the fuse block retaining bar across, pull out block and remove. Refitting is reverse of removal mate. Well worth doing judging by the state of that cable! Thanks Sean! :thumbleft: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wayne2015 10 Posted April 29, 2015 (edited) Rained overnight ... The sunroof leaks this morning :( :( :( From driver drain tube... From driver rear drain tube... Is it safe to disconnect the drain tubes (attached to sunroof), Pull it off and poke a coat hanger in??? Will anything break by taking it off? Or it s supposed to leak? Lots of rain - but i wouldnt say its heavy ...:shrug: Edited April 29, 2015 by Wayne2015 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
robrado974 1 Posted April 29, 2015 Yes mate . Remove the pipe and use a sturdy but flexible piece of plastic push the dirt out . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wayne2015 10 Posted April 29, 2015 Yes mate . Remove the pipe and use a sturdy but flexible piece of plastic push the dirt out . Is that just the drain holes? Or the actual drain tubes? If tubes - then how long piece of flexible plastic i need? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chuggs1 10 Posted April 29, 2015 It won't melt if you have the upgrade headlight loom fitted. Better fit mine then Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wayne2015 10 Posted April 29, 2015 Better fit mine then I got my switch dangling out of the dash now, if any smoke comes from that wire - then I will know immediately! I knew racing cars had fire extinguishers Not quite why some people have them in their old cars - now i know! :eek: Which ones do people have in their cars these days? And a fire extinguisher holder?

Traffic cops sat side of road, Then WOOOOOSH a cloud of smoke flashes past the cop car, Cop 1: what was that? Cop 2: was it superman? Lewis hamilton? UFO? Offender sat in the back: No, its a Corrado on fire :dance: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
delfinis38 1 Posted April 29, 2015 Wayne take that loom out and replace with a new loom that's not in that state that has a inline fuse in.. Only sensible option. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
robrado974 1 Posted April 29, 2015 Re the tubes , remove the sunroof ends . Just slide them off the fittings , they will be tight . I think from memory a 8mm tubular plastic can be used . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Waiting to put in the upgraded headlight loom! And hopefully with longer days - no need to use that switch for a while! :eek: Besides - nothing on eBay ref loom replacement :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

corrado wannabe 10 Posted April 29, 2015 Can you not try some thick or heavy duty electrical wire? Preferably with the plastic coating on it? The Bentley manual recommends you use the cores from a speedometer cable. Hope this helps. Dougie Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
