Re: 850 Tachymeter Instrument Cluster replacement

good question. I'd guess it would work, maybe you don't have the exterior temperature function of the better cluster (if your car came w/o a temp sensor).

Re: S70 wiper delay relay

That is strange. The best way to get a working one is from a junkyard. Pull the 99 relay out of any 90ies VW that you can find. I have never knowingly seen a KAE relay, despite having owned a few VWs. Maybe the part is faulty. Because normally it is just a plug in and it works thing. I don't think y...

Re: This V70_GLT a good buy?

Dont you have Plants to go look at?

Kind of what might be called a bastard year. Was under the impression that ...

It is actually doable to solder the wires w/o disconnecting the d-pillar connector, but removing the d pillar trimnand freeing the wires helps alot....

It's not always the ABS module

Even though we 96 upwards p80 owners know that the ABS/Tracs double orange means the module is faulty - it's not always the case, as I will photoproof here. Interestingly, the lights were off in dry wearher and only came on in rauny condiruons, which made me suspect the wiring. I guess a tiny rock g...

Re: It's not always the ABS module

I have a business partner in Voralberg, and it used to crack him up at trade shows when I told people we were in Austria, land of kangaroos. Geography isn’t always a strong point in the US Decades ago, I pulled up in a Burger King Drive through in Valley Springs, CA 95252, and the girl at the windo...

Re: 98 V70 Hissing PTC

After upgrading to a bigger hose I got that hissing sound as well. 4 years later it still hisses, runs great and passes the glove test.
