I looked at the sticky, all links don't work. Bit of an odd ball. So my heater was working on all 4 speed. Then I removed the dash to do the heater matrix and while I was there I replaced the green resistor "Febi" as a preventative maintenance. Now it only works on speed 4? Weird! Any idea what it could be? Defective, coincidence? Cheers

I remember doing this job, pretty messy but rewarding once completed. Nice car BTW, cheers!
-
Wow those calipers are super nice! Great choice, looks stunning. Cheers!
-
Looks amazing mate, stunning! Can't wait to do this on my car, specially being parked for years. Nice work! Cheers
-
LOVE it! Never seen this cap before. And happy birthday to you, cheers!
-
My understanding is that VW was selling it has a whole with the intake tube. Ford had the same part and was selling it individually but that is obsolete as well...
-
Ya, I'm still reading! I'm discouraged for you and applaud your tenacity. Hopefully this is it! Cheers
-
I agree, that's an insane asking price!
-
That's fantastic! Good for you and thanks for the follow up. Cheers

Unfortunately Hasan, no updates. It's been back online for about a year now, you can read all the posts but no one went back to it... The disappointment is that most DIY links do not work, most pics are gone so its not what it used to be. Still helpful in some ways, proof is with this part I found this reading A LOT of threads, I think it was like this one was 13 years old...
-
You're too humble mate, take some credits! The other guy was about to toss away a brand new part before you intervened. You guided him in the right direction. Problem is fixed. That's why this forum is my favorite by far, guys here are nice, helpful and knowledgeable. I don't know RW1 but the way you talk about him makes me think of Dennis here in Canada.

I think Fendevg saved the day big time so a big thanks to him for straightening you in the right direction. Glad it's working out in the end, cheers!

Resetting the ECU is a good idea. Have you cleaned your throttle body? I would do that has well, may be a little sticky.
-
Well I'm glad to hear that mate. Taking a hard decision is one thing but regretting one badly is a different animal to deal with... So I'm glad to read a few days settled and you're at peace with it. Cheers
-
Hopefully, thanks mate! Since laying my eyes for the first time on the picture of my Japanese cover paired with the VSR, the dream began...
-
If I see a popped bonnet open and there's a VSR, that's all I see mate 🤣😁. Good for you that you found one! When I posted in the "want to buy" section I got like 3 scam messages lol
-
Ha haa 🤣😁 yes I'm sure I'm not the only one dreaming!
-
Must have been a hard day, I feel your pain. I still think from what I've read from you that you made the right decision and I hope you feel the same. Cheers JF
-
Nice pics Keyo as well, good to see close up pictures of how it's rigged up. Still dreaming of owning one, one day...
-
I'm glad to see that I've been able to help someone else with this find and happy to see that it made things smoother. Cheers!

Up to you! But mine is original 95 and came with the wider aux pump stamped 94 and from factory it was installed stretched. You may think it's not right and I partially agree "why not making two different size rings" but the bottom line is that is was installed this way from factory, at least in 1995. Cheers
-
Well, I'm not gonna lie, am a bit sad to see you go. Like you said, you've been part of the furniture for a long time and since day one in my case. I don't want to sound like a funeral though lol. But it's a shock although I totally get it. I've sold things I said I would never sell as well. I think the main thing is to pass it on to a candidate who you feel good about passing the car. And it looks like you've found that. Take care of yourself and it's been a pleasure. Cheers JF

And these are the new rings from the dealer, now the part number is 035 959 209 F for both.
-
Sorry mate, for some reason I didn't get the last updates on my phone? I was randomly checking if you had made progress and saw your last posts... So the first two aux pumps you posted look definitely different (longer like you mentioned) than mine which is similar to the last one you've posted. My part number (oem 94 + replacement) from Bosch is 0 392 020 024. I took those rubber rings out again and they are truly the same part number,035 959 209 E. This is original never tempered with and one of them is really stretched over the black plastic part of the aux pump.
-
I'm in the garage... My old one is original per stamping 94 so I don't know what you had there 10 years ago but it should be bang on if your replacement matches my part number. It's 100% same has the new one when compared. I took the rubber rings off, you can see that the one on the left (over the black part) is stretched more than the other one. Same part number, so it goes there mate,100%. Try silicone spray, anything slippery rubber friendly. Sounds dirty 🤣
