Timing belt first.
Renew brake flexi hoses and change brake fluid.
Inspect/renew wheel bearings and brake pads/discs/shoes/drums.
Engine oil and filter service.
Change coolant.

Early or late fuse board? Hazerd doesn't have its own dedicated relay, it uses the indicator relay.

You need a manual that covers the donor vehicle for a start, so that's the Golf Haynes Book of Lies, the current flow diagrams are a generic guide but better than nothing.
Or you contact Mike Summers aka Elvis via fb and see what he says.

I once had hazard intermittent behaviour right before an MOT, it was due to lack of use of the switch iirc. Gave it some exercise and it settled down.

I would start at the actual brakes as it seems to be temperature related. Check the caliper pistons and/or sliding pins for binding or drag. 1985 should be late sliding calipers at the front but anything is possible. When releasing the brake pedal the piston(s) should draw the pads back a tiny bit t...

Alles klar!

Thats the fault. You've got a vacuum leak which then effectively disables anything which requires vacuum: spark advance, carb pulldown unit etc.
Often overlooked.

I wpuld guess the amperage requirement to be about the same as that needed to run a 12v compressor fridge plus a fan or two, so 8 amps might be required to run it continuously.

Could be a symptom of residual brake system pressure, which would indicate a seized brake piston in a caliper.

The brake light switch is screwed into the master cylinder and is a wet switch, sonwill require the brakes to be bled afterwards. Potentially messy job. I'd check behind the instrument pack to see if there is potential for a short to earth, it appears to be a parallel double pole switch which gives ...

Casting my mind back the the last time I had to repair a 2E3 for my own use, there is that white plastic cam/finger that is something to do with the fast idle. They do break off at the pivot eye, not immediately obvious but worth checking.

Where did all the owners manuals go?

Even if you sheared off all the cap heads (unlikely, more chance of the old threads in the pump being gone to white dust) the old pump is going in the bin, so no drama there. A bit of penetrating oil on the three studs the night before and ALWAYS give them a tightening tweak before attempting to und...

PS its all detailed in the Haynes Book of Lies which should live under your passenger seat.
