Re: Jetta 2 - the bad & downright ugly-Where to get a rain t
rain tray and heater core both on long backorder at Goldwagen. Bugger...
Big thanks to Morne for sorting out a nasty rattle that turned out to be a shot water pump.
Weird, happy to have it done, but somewhat dissapointed I did not have the time or skills to change it myself...
Anyone know where to get a replacement interior fan? Goldwagen was R3.5K!! yes Goldwagen, not the stealers...
And still need to get aircon regassed too, Morne says all the seals etc need changing to allow for the new legal gas.
Then a indicator relay and headlight switch on the cards...
And some pre big bumper wheel arches to hide that nasty dent.
Quite a list

3.5K for the interior fan?
I bought one for a buddy's Mk2 Golf at GW in Pta East not even 3 months ago and it was just over 600 bucks. Fan motor, voltage regulator thingy, and fan itself.
For the heater core, get a Mk3's, it is the same.
Indicator relay and headlight switch you can also get at GW.

Will try anther GW. No disrepect to the ladies behind the telephone, but sometimes I get the distinct impression they don't know what they're talking about. R600 sounds a tad more reasonable.Jetta2 wrote:3.5K for the interior fan?

Re: Jetta 2 - the bad & downright ugly-Where to get a int fa
Jetta was spurting oil all over the show when warm. Having to carry 5l of oil around started getting expensive, and did not seem like anything small, so did what any rational person would do in such a situation...phone Morne
With a lot of sighing, Morne uncovered a seal had shot out somewhere the name of which I have since forgotten (intermediate shaft seal??). But he got the old girl running again (both the car and my mum) so a big thanks to Morne for the help and quick turnaround. Much appreciated mate!

Re: Belix's Jetta 2 - oil leak sorted
Anyone know what a shudder on acceleration through the car mean? Does it when the car is in neutral and stopped and car is revved, or in first under strong acceleration. Not notable thereafter, but maybe far less noticeable. Engine mounts worn?
Also are slow windscreen wipers the fault of a worn motor, or something else?

Re: Belix's Jetta 2 - engine vibration in car
Check the rear engine mounting. And check the front mounting and the gearbox mounting while you are about it as well just to be sure.
Slow wipers - change the motor.
I tried cleaning the motor and re-lubing the gear mechanism on my Jetta years ago, and no change. Changed the motor and everything works perfectly again.

Will see if goldwagen has a motor otherwise will head out to Menlyn, or is quality better at PartMan?

Re: Belix's Jetta 2 - engine vibration in car
belix, I realy admire your tenacity to keep the old dame on the road! The car i mean not your mom!
If i may suggest, go to autozone, get an HEYNES MANUAL. They strip the car and do a full how to.
Everything is logically indexed, clear and detailed instructions, detailed pic's, tips and pics of certain tools needed for specific tasks,all bolt torque specs. And trouble shooting guides, with suggested remedies.
As for clunking: first look at front engin mount and its bracket mounted to block, the bolt (bottom of cradle) ,or nut(top of mount) holding the mount may be loose or missing. That causes engin to lift. put a block of wood under sump and jack up the engin to cofirm movement.
Second on the list is rear engin & gearbox mounts
Is the rain tray drain channels below the bonnet hinges blocked? That is the only way enough water can accumulate
to enter fresh air inlet on top of fan motor.
I hope you get her sorted! Good luck man!

Re: Belix's Jetta 2 - engine vibration in car
Had a manual lined up, but seller sold it to someone else instead at the last minute, don't get some people. Anyway, have a digital manual somewhere missing a few essential chapters, digital is a bit of pain to check through. Will buy one sometime. Thanks will check if I can work out mountings.
The rain tray is pretty wrecked, so heavy rain just washes right into the fan duct. Luckily I found another plastic bit that clips onto the vent on bonnet itself that stops the majority of the rain getting in. Goldwagen seems to have them on eternal backorder...
@G60, thanks mate, will do so, always seems a stitch in time saves nine with the old girl (car not mom )...it's quite a strong vibration, more feel than sound. Whole dash vibrates in harmony with engine revs.

Re: Belix's Jetta 2 - headlight wiring issue...
So Morne has diagnosed a bad rear engine mount which has shed it's bolts somewhere along the way. At least I can bug him to sort that out...along with the irritating strut top mounts that I forgot all about until right after I had installed the new shocks
However, one headlight dipped beam is not working. I did the obvious bulb replacement, but still the same, so problem is somewhere else. Since the headlight switch was giving issues with the interior lights, though I might as well eliminate that too, and got another from GW. The original switch had 10 pins, the replacement switch had 10 pins. Much to my annoyance, the new switch sorted neither the non-functioning interior lights, nor the dead dipped beam. While Morne was checking the engine mount, he checked the switch, and concluded power was not getting through the switch.
So I headed back to GW Randburg to return the headlight switch. They needed the VIN and engine number, neither of which I had, so I asked if it was ok to complete the return form and fax it back the following day, and leave the switch. They said it was ok. Fast forward a week, not heard anything for GW, I decide to stop there to check. Needless to say, no-one knows anything about the switch, or the fax...
So begrudgingly I buy another - which looks seriously suspiciously like the switch I had dropped off a week earlier (no plastic packet, box slightly greasy) - and head to the old Jetta. Surprise surprise, no interior lights, no headlight!!
Decide to open up the switch to see if I can see why it does not work...but with it open it seems everything that should be connected, connects when the switch is on. What is odd, is that there are three power inputs to the switch. There is no internal connection between the positive pin for the headlights, and the internal lights...
So now I'm wondering, perhaps the wrong switch was fitted to the car all along? Whats is the difference between the 8 pin and 10 pin switch? I went back to the Jetta and had a look at the wiring plug, and although there are 10 spaces for terminals, there are only 8 terminals in it, and 8 wires. Does the 8 pin switch route power to the interior lights internally? I did not have time before it got dark to see which terminals are missing from the switch to see if I could shed some light on the matter, will have to look again tomorrow.

Re: Belix's Jetta 2 - engine vibration & lighting issues
Hi mate.The switch is correct.If you look at the back of the unit you will see numbers for the out puts and inputs.There is two power supplys a 30 and 15.That is used to power the parklights and dipped beam as well as main beem depending on what is on.The dash lights are connected to the terminal 30 in side switch.The dipped beam is a single wire and is split in side the fuse box for left and right.The park lights are split front rear in fuse box.
I should still have the diag for it.Drop me a mail.

Re: Belix's Jetta 2 - engine vibration & lighting issues
Ok, from the diagram, the interior lights does not get power from the switch itself, looks like it should get it from wire 58, somewhere outside the switch, goes through what I guess is a fuse(?) before coming back into the switch and going through the variable resistor. Hmmm, perhaps a second check of the fuses is in order...

Re: Belix's Jetta 2 - engine vibration & lighting issues
Had a look through the fuses - all ok, BUT none seem to tie up to the map on the fuse box cover??? Does that make sense?
Is there a map for the Relay part of the fuse box?
Next I'll have to start messing about with a multimeter....

Re: Belix's Jetta 2 - engine vibration & lighting issues
My mom drives the car and she does not drive much. Not big into car maintenance either. She just tells me when things go bang. Like "the car is full of rainwater" and "it sounds like a tractor". Been bugging her for 6 month to do alignment and rotation of tyres, will be peeved if I need to replace tyres early because alignment is out.
Car needs a lot of work, but it's out and about

Re: Belix's Jetta 2 - engine vibration & lighting issues
Mom called to say car dead at shops carpark. So head over with jumper leads and get car started, but after revving, battery light stays on. Check inside and alternator belt is missing. Went home to fetch tools, back to get get battery, home to put battery on charge. With any luck, battery will have enough charge to get car home without alternator working...
How easy it to fit the alternator belt? It's on the inside of another belt so I cannot just slip it on. Does the old stocking story work for the alternator belt or was that only for old cars that drove the fan off the engine?

Re: Belix's Jetta 2 - Alternator belt gone!
Turning out to be a pain in the butt - GW say there are different belts, and I must bring in a sample. Great if I HAD a sample! VW say VIN to old to check parts.
FFS it's just a flaming alternator belt!
Any helpful hints on how to remove the other two belts? And more importantly, how to refit/tension them? And yes, the back belt does twist 90 degree over the pulley, I'll replace all three.
