Need help
« on: 24 March 2006, 12:24 »
Hi got problems with the car again :sad:. I can indicate to the left fine and the bulbs flashed but when I go to indicate to the right the bulb does not flash and none of the right hand side of the indicators works. I have replaced the relay and that has made no diffrence I have to wiggle it loads to get it to work. Does this mean that the stalk is broke? Or something else cud I upgrade it to the mk3 stalsk have read the guide on doing it.

Thanx

Maybe just nip to the scappy and pick one up to make sure that's the problem before buying MK3 stalks, could save you some beer money?

Have to remove the steering wheel (24mm nut) and then the shroud underneath (2 screws) and finally the stalks (3 screws).

I'd bet its the hazard button thats causing your problems, I had exactly the same on mine.spray some WD40 into it and press the button on/off madly for a bit, that may clean it up.  If not take it off, its held on with 2 clips on the top, carefully lever them off and the button should pop off towards the rear.  You'll then see the contact plate, and 3 metal spring loaded progs.  Check all 3 have the springs in place and are seated properly, clean up the contact plate & reassemble.

Failing that, you could fit some MK3 stalks, ideally you want an indicator stalk of a SEAT as they have the correct hazard button.  If you go for MK3 stalks you'll have to swap your old button on there, which may be the cause of all your problems.
