Make sure you seal the HVAC intake up well or you will end up with water in
your car. I had a PO do a crappy job on one. I'd get up to 3/4 of water in
the back floorboards after a good rain.

Subject: Re: Mk2 questions
to get to the resistor pack/blower fan you go in from under the hood(a
little bit of under dash work too, nothing horrible). Remove the rain tray
and the HVAC intake, and then you'll see the motor. Remove the screw, and
pull it towards the passenger side to get it out(a little more complex than
that, but it's self-explanatory). HTH-

Ok, fan works, but 1,2 and 4 are all the same as 4, 3 position acts like
1. I assume this is the resistor pack going bad? If so, where is it on the
mk2s with A/C?
Second, would a late model (large gas tank, mini spare) cat back exhaust
fit on the early model (small tank, full size spare) mk2? (thinking no)
Third: The heater controls are whacked. air only comes outta the vent,
moving the slider makes no noises (that vaccum "hiss" I am used to on the
A/C VWs). And apparently the damn think thinks its in the A/C
position......turn on the blower fan, a/c engages as does the radiator fan
on slow speed. So, I assume I gotta dig the controls out and see what is
broken. Um...how do I do that on a Mk2? Do I have to pull the cente! r
console? Does anyone have a GOOD working heater control from an A/C equipped
Mk2?
The rest I can handle...warped rotors, brake system needs a bleed or a
M/C, new clutch cable is in order I think...this one seems stretched...can't
get enough adjustment for the new clutch...it engages WAY too early (like
1/10th of an inch off the floor, ton of free play at the top)...check and
re-balance the rear tires...might have something else going on (rear wheel
bearing? Something was giving me a rythmic (comes and goes) vibration at 75,
not felt in the wheel, but in the butt...whole car was shaking...suggestions
welcome here...what does a bad inner CV act like? Similar?). Also, MOTOR
MOUNTS! Man....I don't think I've felt a passenger side motor mount so bad
before...vibe city at idle and 3200 rpm or so...
Last I have to figure out is, what the HELL that noise is when the car
is backed up....someone to walk along side the car and listen should clear
that up...I'll check in! to that on Sunday.
