Sounds like the relay needs replacing. :smiley:

Nice simple job, but I'm sure someone else with a bit more know how will tell you which relay it is!  :embarassed:

If your car is Volkswagen Golf  Mk 2 Petrol (Mar 84 - Feb 92) A to J then yes thats the right one!  You haven't said so i thought i had better check..... I have that one and i would say....

Get a bentley manual, loads better. Its american so its the wrong hand drive and some of the model names are odd but the mechanics are the same and its got a lot more details. They haynes does get a bit of stick on here, and rightly so i say!!  :evil:

Its an '87 Golf Gti Mk2 1.8.  I asked the guy if that was the one and he was like no, it doesnt have gti on the back ... so i guess it is then ... sigh :|

I will look for the one you mentioned - cheers d00d!
