What did you fix/replace on your Mk1 today?

i didnt actually fix anything, my car did :S

The interior light would come on when passenger door opens, but not drivers... All of a sudden last night it came on !!!

I fixed this on Liam's GTI last weekend, just take the switches in the doors that have a bazillion years of crud/rust/etc and clean the contacts with some sand paper and spray it all with contact cleaner. For the effort it is very rewarding.

my car has been sitting since 2004 from what i can tell, so i m guessing with me using it daily for 3 weeks loosened it up
Its great though, never had a working interior light in a golf!

Tried to fix my heated rear window demister on the red GLD but did not solve the problem.... Work in progress I guess....

Ended up getting the cigarette lighter to work Not that I use it

Played around with the oil pressure gauge and volt meter in the centre console and got the 2 lights inside the gauges to work again

Overall a great day!

Ps everything else still works as well....

Fixed all coolant leaks this morning before the rain kicked in. Damn no lights in shed

It took me a day, but I finally replaced the electric aerial on the Cabrio. I thought I'd be clever and nip off the old antenna wire, attach the new one with duct tape and pull it through from the dash. Didn't work. It follows some mysterious path after it goes through the firewall. The old wire snapped halfway. After much cursing and swearing, I managed to elongate the hole (from the dash side) and get the new one through. Everything works like a charm now. Back to original. Very happy.

New set of rims, replaced bent bumper, Started on some minor body work, replace brake light fuse and fit new rear tail light. Just brought heaps of parts of ebay too. Got a front chin, gear linkage replacement kit, wheel spacers, and bbs badges for my rims. lol

I raised it about 4". Looks like a Lada Niva now.

Had a massive fail with the GLD yesterday - Injector pump.

Going back today with a fresh mind to sort it out.

just spent an hour fixing my door locks.

I now have one key to unlock both doors and start it.
Need to see how the hatch ones works... if its the same setup as the doors.

Did you file down the protruding lugs on the barrel or did you take the lugs out and rearrange them so they didn't protrude? If it was the former then you'll find the old key will still work and a whole lot of other keys will now open your doors.

Sorted the injector pump. Fitted Weitec Hicon GTs, got a wheel alignment. Sorted. So very impressed with it now!

Hahaha, yeah filing down the tumblers is a baaaad idea.

I have about 12 odd golf keys, and none open the doors besides the 1
