How I splice in wires.

This is how I splice into a wire run. There are 2 ways I do it. Number 1 Clean your iron: https://i.imgur.com/rzSqIx5.jpg Take a wet rag or steel wool, with the iron being hot (watch your fingers and steel wool can ignite and run like a flare so be warned.) wipe the tip of the iron off on the wet ra...

Intermittent Horn Honking on turns and Bumps?

Yes I have a 90 Cabriolet with the airbag, but this is the fix ror a non-airbagged unit as well. After Power, Removing the airbag, removing the wheel, undoing the 3 phillips that hold the clock spring in place, I quickly found the issue. https://i.imgur.com/idKroVV.png All 3 of the screws had backed...

Re: The past week in Car repair

As for the top, I know you have had a long, long standing offer on that, but I would never assume or impose in such a way. If I can get to that bridge, we can talk about crossing it if you still feel like it, lol. It's only been about 10 years or so, and I ain't getting any younger... But It may ta...

Re: Loose Steering column

That is usually a sign that the lower steering bearing has moved out of position. At the bottom of the outer shaft if you see a white or yellowed thing that is sticking out, then push it back up in place and hold in position with wire ties and or a hose clamp, and consider it a permanent fix. You ca...

Re: odd idle issue

I would do the Static timing as outlined in Ron's tutorial. You set the base time, then use a DVOM to adjust it. Way easier than the way the Bentley states, and it is usually spot on and only requires one person. https://www.reflectionsandshadows.com/cabby/static-digi.html VW's hate vacuum leaks.......

Re: Wiring question

From the connector and the location those I suspect are the wires out of the back of the Heater control panel RH side. But I thought those were brown and blue/gray. I don't remember a connector with Brown and black wires in it behind the dash in that location other than I said for the illumination o...
