  6. Help! Starting problem

    in I.C.E, Security an Electrical

    Posted

    There is a relay that controls the fuel pump, check this first (assuming you've already checked all fuses). It is relay number 18 or relay number 12 (depending on model year). The arrangement of relays in the fuse box is as follows:

    19 20 21 22 23 24

    13 14 15 16 17 18

    1 2 3 4 5 6

    7 8 9 10 11 12

    ---------FUSES----------

    Hope this helps.

  10. Retro-fitting air-con

    Jcorallo - what you say about the ECU & idle speed makes sense. I will have to study the Wiring diagram in my Bentley manual to see where this connection is made and which wiring looms are needed.

    Nickbee - your help on this is greatly appreciated, if you could provide some underbonnet shots that would be great.

    As and when I do this, I'll be sure to get photos of the fitting to help out anyone else that wants to undertake the conversion.

  15. Look!! - R32 headlamps for Mk3!!

    While browsing a US forum, I found these rather tasty headlamps with dual integral indicators, angel-eye sidelights and R32 lens-type lo-beams. Gotta be the ultimate headlamp kit for the Mk3. Check it out:

    Dunno whether they're available in the UK, but those wanting a really unique look might want to try importing them. The thread contains supplier details.

  16. Retro-fitting air-con

    in Interior

    Posted

    Has anyone attempted fitting air con to a Mk3 using genuine VW parts from a breaker's.

    I have an aircon specialist just over the road that can gas and test the system for me once fitted. I just need to know what parts are required.

    I know I will need:

    behind-dash heating/ventilation box.

    engine-mounted compressor

    reciever-drier unit (must be new)

    Condenser rad.

    all hoses

    Wiring loom, switches & relays

    Is there anything else? Will I need to change my radiator for example?

    The dash will definitely have to come off, but is it possible to do the job with everything else in-situ?

    Any help would be appreciated

  23. Tyres

    in Wheels, Brakes, Suspension and Steering

    "Budget" tyres do wear out quicker than Pirellis, Michelins etc, but once you factor in punctures, they may still work out considerably cheaper in the long run.

    If you do Track days or drive your car very hard, you're better off with a more expensive tyre regardless.

    The big wheel shops (C.A.R, XTreme, Gasoline Alley etc) are always a good place to go for replacement non-standard lo-profile tyres, as these are the only places that buy them in any sort of quantity.

    I get budget 205/40/17s at £65 each from Gasoline Alley.
