The Jetta Cur..thread

Its cursed.

It`ll have come off behind the clocks, I reckon you have reefed the cable from inside the bonnet when you were tinkering with something.

i choose not to believe the curse! consider me a witchdoctor!


ayden, came over twice to visit today but i guess you were at oonie.. ah well.
might be goin a pair of those tires for the rear reeeeally soon.. i loose traction so easily in the wet.. even taking off(not like a "loon")..


matt, how do i get behind the dash without taking the whole thing off? (possible?)

not sure what to plug the holes up with either(where the tooobs went in and out to/from the heater)

[gldgti]

you can come over anytime today (tues) my day off, i'll be here.

a peice of hose will do the job to block off the core outlets if you just loop it from one o the other.

after a thousandy mozzie bites and some roowd words under the breath.. AND a new speedo cable and a few hours..(and 3 attempts) Ayden and I got the speedo functioning again!
{why arent all the screws in the dash the same size?!?!?!}

loon, when you pulled the audi engine out of the jetta.. did you swap any of the plugs n whatnot? cause ben durie put new ones on when i took it to him.. wondering if that would have anything to do with the slow start aswell?
-wanna explain it in a way the verterans would understand there Aydos?

i found out today that the car has no reverse lights.. could be tricky with rego coming up.

Stop wasting your money on service mechanics.

It had new plugs when it left here.

It needs an auto electrician to hook up the coldstart valve and run a feed from the fusebox. THat is the only way you will cure the coldstart. It should be someone who understands kjet. Volvo or Saab mechanics. Durie doesn`t sound like he has much idea, but I bet he`s charging you.

Beau in Sydney could sort the wiring, but you need to drive down.

Reverse lights need a wire running from the switch on the top of the gearbox. They never check em for rego anyway bro

"Durie doesn`t sound like he has much idea, but I bet he`s charging you."

If you have an aircooled VW He is the man to see, does absolutely amazing work with them, But with watercooled cars , i learnt the hard way when i had the toledo, he charges like a raging bull, and ends up changing things you didnt even take the car in for.

[Rednut]

yeh.. he didnt even want to look at my car when i originally took it to him. i havent taken it anywhere but to ayden since i got my p's.. we've been able to do everything we've needed to do(except the starting thing).

im still thinkin whether i'll be hitting the nationals.. if i do, i'll leave her down there and get my bro to drive it back when its been rewired. i wouldnt mind gettin all the wires underneath the steeringwheel checked too as a few of them have melted.. no idea what they are(were) for.
if its easter sunday..(8th) then thats my b/day.. might have to be home in the grog!
