Round two of repair the beater coming up.

May 30, 2008 4 Replies

I just got my parts today for round two of fix the old Golf diesel. The start stop solenoid is stuck in the pump and wont shut the motor off. So I got one of those. I got a set of CV bolts, a driveshaft, four driveshaft boots, a CV socket, those skinny rubber injector return lines, four fast glow plugs and relay, four injector heat shields, a wiper arm, A mounting kit for the A frame, An injector socket, a back wiper motor, and a recycled dome light. I'm putting a toggle switch on the fan motor because I cant get it to come on unless the AC is selected. And I haven't been able to figure out why for over 5 years. And all the temp switches are good. I'm thinking a corroded wire I don't feel like finding. That will be next weeks project. Then for a nice ride by as many gas stations as possible to give them the bird.....


Sounds like a good project! Is this an '87 or '89 Golf diesel? I have found many a corroded wire under the battery tray causing the radiator fan not to work. Should be a relay in or around the fuse box too for the radiator fan since you have a/c.

I passed by a fuel station here in Chicago and they were selling diesel at $5 per gallon. OUCH!
