Good and bad news guys. the good first ........
The light is out

the bad news.......

It took a new alternater to sort it altho managed to find one for just 70 quid

TBH the wiki isn't much help here. There are various opinions in there about how to do the upgrade, and several different diagrams. Most have drawbacks (dim-dip resistor, high-beam indicator). When I looked at doing the upgrade I came to the conclusion there is only one good way to do it, as mentio...

My parts came during the week so we'll have a little blast at that this weekend. I've also got her booked into an auto electrics spot in Malton for them to have a look at my Erber. been fiddling with that for ages and I'm not getting anywhere. I'll let you all know how it goes, and thanks again for ...

Nice one I'll get onto that cheers everyone.

i'll get onto that. the only thing that throws me is that the light is on from first start up with a fully charged battery.

My battery light has been on for a while now. turns itself off when t...

would have thought it was a fairly straight swap they are pretty much the same engine, so probably pump timing issue ? but then the RA is as old as the JX so could just be tired too Cheers for that having the fuel pump tested for any broken seals on monday hopefully will just be something like that...

Or does it sound like i'm clutching at straws??

Hi guys. Really hope you can give me some advice on this one. I've had a 1.6 td ra engine put into my 87 club joker and i'm having a nightmare. Was supposed to pick the van up last week but they been tinkering and now they call me up today. " It's running starting alright etc but lot of black s...

All being well i have secured myself a 1.6 td jx only reconditioned 20k earlier with 110k on the clock. I know the mileage ain't brilliant but the price is and I get to have my van back sooner rather than later. also bring my old engine home with me and have a load of spares for the future. think I'...

Thanks Ewan. all this info is really useful. gonna speak to sycronuts later today. spoke to the other guy who's got the 1.9 td he's gonna check what code is etc and if not hopfully have a look if he's got a jx.

thanks again

Hello, sorry to hear of your troubles. This forum will be a great resource for you, but you need to find out the engine code of the golf first - some are easier than others. Chances are the engine's an 1z, AHU or AFN tdi, in which case there's plenty of info on here, but if you want to get it done ...
