Hey guys,
I have been fortunate enough to become the proud owner of an '85 MK2 GTI Golf.
If i had any questions or learns that I wanted to share I figure what better place than within a community of enthusiasts.
Everything has been running like magic.
Trying to find the elusive first gear took a little bit of getting used to but know I've got it down.
In saying that, I was driving along the other night, and after backing out of the service station, I was driving along for a bit, and first and second gear had disappeared.
I pulled over and had a look, and it seems that the (excuse me if terminology is wrong) Ball jointed linkage bracket that joins the front two control arms, had snapped.
I attached a photo in the hopes that someone may have one lying around in their workshop.
It just clips on and this is something that I think that with sufficient grease, and nimble fingers, I could put back on myself.
My poor little car is sitting outside crippled.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
