Re: Jetta 2 - the bad & downright ugly - Rear shocks done...
Got around to do the front
Manual says you need to undue steering tie rod, Anti-roll bar mount and brake caliper, but I got old strut out ok without doing that...the nuts on the tie rod and anti-roll bar were to tight for me to get them out. Hope it does not affect something else somewhere
Anyway, strut out! Spring compressors were cheap so glad they worked!
Strut has a weird split nut thing which I had no idea how to remove, but some thin nose pliers got it off (and back on)
New shock, cleaned up spring and new bump stops... looks better!
----
Looking into left wheelwelll - autobox leaking something rather badly, and brake lines not secured!
Also discovered central locking is cut to pieces
And on changing battery, see some great corrosion happening there under...
And car has no dim beams!! ARGH! what a lemon of a car!
Gets better and better

Re: Jetta 2 - the bad & downright ugly - Frontshocks done...
Hey man, this car has me interested, I think its a lovely car to practise your automotive skills on, and you get to learn how the systems on the car work first-hand!
The central locking, are all the doors operated by the vacuum pump in the boot, or is there another mechanism for the passenger doors maybe? The reason I ask is that my friend's boot and drivers door can lock/unlock using the remote, but not the rest. How does this particular system work?
Great job on the shocks man, I know it's not a fun job.
Keep up the great work, sand out all that rust by the battery, and prime it with an anti-rust/corrosion primer, and finish it off with a few coats of black paint

Looks the same as mine, all the doors are operated by the vacuum pump in the boot. My central locking system still works but now recently its starting to jam or get stuck.Scatman wrote:Hey man, this car has me interested, I think its a lovely car to practise your automotive skills on, and you get to learn how the systems on the car work first-hand!

Previously when it was jamming, while driving you could hear it working, and once it was parked off, you can still hear it was working. Bad thing about it is that the next morning the battery was flat because of the pump working overnight.
All I did was disconnect the pump completely and reconnect it again and it was working fine....

Re: Jetta 2 - the bad & downright ugly - Frontshocks done...
Yup, quite enjoying working on it - although I have a shortage of tools...
You'd think the guy would just pull out the plug rather than cut the wires on the central locking
Will take doors apart over weekend to see if I can get the central locking going again. Door handles are very sticky, so hopefully it's obvious what's wrong with them.
Will sand and prime battery bay too.
The thing that is bugging me is the autobox. Think I should get a VW expert for take a look and see what is leaking. Don't want to have to find a replacement autobox. Wonder if a Mk3 autobox would bolt on if push came to shove

The things people do, but it doesn't look that bad, you can rewire it back. The casing where the pump goes in, does water leak through it because mines is starting to do thatBelix wrote: You'd think the guy would just pull out the plug rather than cut the wires on the central locking

I've got a bunch or water leaking into the back, will have to try track it down. The foam casing is looking rather weather beaten...
Anyone know a good way of tracking down water leaks?

I got a water leak on the left tail light at the top. Water is seeping through the sponge and into the boot

are the lights the only likely place water would get in? Got one light with broken trim at the top, so thinking that would be a likely suspect. Guess a change in rear lights is on the cards.

The lights and probably the seals/rubbering on the boot. I saw you got rust around the boot lock area

Re: Jetta 2 - the bad & downright ugly - Frontshocks done...
Got around to putting on some new takkies. Nothing too special, but better than the 'slicks' that were on before!
Some Hankook 185/60 14s
I know mags need a major cleanup - Anyone know where I can get the centre caps??
Will have to change the power steering bottle as soon as I can work out which fluid to use. Anyone know???
Wiring is a REAL mess. there are leads going nowwhere, cut wires and loose tape all over the place.
Anyone know a really good auto eclectrician?

Re: Jetta 2 - the bad & downright ugly - Frontshocks done...
son-of-a-****!
After taking the above pics, zee **** will not start
Starter motor is not turning. Can't seem to hear the click of the solonoid either
What are the possibilities?
* Starter itself (spose I can test if current getitng there with a multi meter)
* Immobilizer (no idea how to test that
* gear shift start preventer or whatever its called that stops motor starting in anything other than Park or Neutral (again, no idea how to test this)
* ignition switch (head lights cutting on on attempted start, so I'm guessing it's working ok?
Gonna rename her the **** lemon at this rate...

Re: Jetta 2 - the bad & downright ugly - Frontshocks done...
Hey man, I think your starter is probably running from a relay somewhere like my friends' car. Check where the wired go to from the starter, you should see it going either to a relay, or the battery. Try that, maybe it will work?Belix wrote:son-of-a-b**ch!

If you stand in front of the car the starter is behind the radiator on the gearbox side of the engine. Trace the thick cable coming from the battery, it goes to the starter.

If I can recall, the starter on an autobox is somewhere below the exhast manifold.
Also, try and put the automatic selector to Neutral when starting to ensure that it is not some on the selctor causing problems.

Would explain why I can't find it...
Yup, have tried moving it about - it may well be a faulty protector switch causing the issue. My first test was going to be seeing if any power is reaching the starter...but tracking the bugger down has been unsuccessful thus far. Does not bode well!

Well throught I might as well start with the 'easy' stuff.
Dicided to try and jump the gear selection switch because it looks like this inside.
Jumped it with some copper wire...hopefully the right pins.
Still nada
Both these lights stay on continuosly, but I have a feeling they have long since been bypassed
Gear selector was glued on
Not sure how it's supposed to be secured, looks like a screw, but no hole in the shaft...

Re: Jetta 2 - the bad & downright ugly - b**ch won't start!
yeah, cleaned then up quite a bit by leaving overnight in water to loosen the clay a bit, then clamped then outside and let loose with a hosepipe. But still a lot stuck in the bit that swings against the pin. still very sluggish...
Probably easier just to buy a set of Citi locks and replace.
