Are the hose clip parts for the fuel rail ?.

Nice of you thank you, happy to pay pnp .

Great , I will purchase some please .

Because you are parked on a hill the water is still draining, but it’s filling at one end (because of the incline or decline, hence when you open the door it starts to drain . I wouldn’t say you have anything to worry about .

printed the test bag today

That looks great .

Group buy ?. I’m sure there’s a lot of cars with them missing.

Hope you sort it Jim . I’ve been busy on the interior, so have left my sketchy idle and miss fire. I had a look on Sunday, still can’t find the fault.

Thanks Sean . I’m hoping to get to it at the weekend.

Nice one Hasan , thank you . So I would connect it to the heater control lighting ?.

I hope I can find it , I really don’t fancy removing the front consul again . Stupid really I just forgot about the lighting for the holder.

I will be purchasing a set soon as my drivers side has split .

Thanks chaps I will take a look at the weekend whilst I’m doing other jobs .

I call this the ashtray light its pretty easy to replace.

 

Take out the ashtray .

 

Unscrew the one screw in the ashtray surround trim located at the back .

 

Pull the trim out and disconnect the plug out of the bulb housing.

 

The white bulb housing then can be wedged out of the trim and the bulb unit can be pulled off the white surround.

 

You can still order the green bulb housing from VW Heritage that they order in from VW classic . 357919243AK25 £7.50

 

I also replaced heat seat contol switch which I found out was also meant to be iluminated, also dint realise that the Rado had heated mirrors.

Ive got some spare green bulbs . Just to clarify, my heating control is lit , so is the fag lighter, so there is a wire hanging there somewhere to plug in the back of the cassette holder?.

Mine was hanging loose at the back. I pushed it through the rubber that is in the top of the cubby hole and it reached perfectly. Ironically I was looking through receipts tonight and came across the bulb holder for this

Thanks I will take a look .

It’s

Do you mean the lighting with the white surround that sits above the ash tray? If so, yes its not a problem. Might help to get some angled tweezers just in case, although some heavy gauge wiring also makes a good 'fishing loop'!

 

The light unit is just clipped on top of the ash tray surround and the connector to it is the same as many of the other vw ones with the release arm on the side

It’s the cassette I’m trying to get lit up Hasan .

Can anyone tell me if i remove the ashtray and the plastic mounting for it , will i be able to fish out the wire for the cassette holder lighting ?. Im hoping i dont have to remove the centre consul .

Kind regards

Rob

Well done hasan . I don’t know why I didn’t think of this . When I changed my clocks back to green from red , I made a mistake putting the led back in properly and the display was all wrong , bits missing etc .

Can you not put out a wanted for a second hand screen ?. It depends if you want Oem I suppose.

I’m no techie , so I won’t pretend to understand that lol . But obviously we have issues with the system.Thank you for your hard work.

Mine arrived yesterday. Looks great . My battery is on charge through lack of use and me constantly doing stuff to the car . Looking forward to fitting it , especially as it will keep the rain water from the wing from dripping on the battery.

Clutch release bearing ?.

Well done sir , great work.

I think I will purchase one of these , good find , thanks for posting.

Let us know how you get on . I’m still finishing the interior as and when I get the time. I have left my dodgy idle for now . I will be checking the hoses again in due course and the oil breather valve which I haven’t checked. Really annoying issue .

Thanks for the reply was it an original VW part you used with the plastic surround trim same as picture ?

 

Cheers.

Yes it was a genuine part I used .
