20 Most Recent 1989 Volkswagen Golf Questions & Answers

you can get guide from many sites.. i know few error codes/ fault codes, wiring diagrams, schematic diagrams, torque specs, engine info, switches functioning, assemble, disassembly, complete refurbish, repair, installation every single thing is covered within seconds u can get the access and it's totally illustrative complete

THEY DO THAT WHEN U START THE CAR OR WHEN U USE THE HAZARD SWITCH?NEED MORE INFO

As a general rule, the green wire would be the signal wire to the ignition, the reds are ignition power, and panal illumination. The blacks would both go to ground.

Hi. Maybe a vacuum leak or a auto choke issue keeping the idle high. If the idle is too high then the reverse gear will crunch.

PICTURE OR CODE?

Get a new one froma reliable source. It may be a 5 speed gearbox but it sounds like the synchros are gone on that one.

first, make sure the linkage at the transaxle is ok. then, loosen the clamp on the shifter shaft near the exhaust downpipe.

Can you specify the engine codes from the parts? You probably mean 1.3 engine (1.4 didn't exists for Golf '89), with 75mm bore. In this case barely think you could fit in the pistons from 1.6 (77.4 mm bore). Also, the 1.8 head fits ok on 1.6 but on 1.3 is not possible, due to physical differences, oil channels, etc

Have you got a engine code to be definite could be lucky I would put a new belt on timed up and do a cylinder leakage test good luck

Hi Mike, I have not checked the torque settings for you, but wonder if you've worked on other engine assembly before your VW? My first question concerns the crankshaft. Was it sent for grinding and was the work carried out correctly? Secondly; during the tightening sequence did you rotate the crankshaft during the tightening sequence? The main bearings should be tightened from the centre cap and work progressively outwards. Tightening should be carried out in steps, rotating the crankshaft as the bolts are tightened. As an example, if the main bearings are tightened to 65 foot lbs begin with a setting of 30 ft lbs and as each cap is tightened rotate the crankshaft checking for smooth rotation. If this method is followed and the crankshaft fails to rotate, recheck the bearing and machining size. When fitting the cylinder head use the same stage tightening, starting at the centre and using a spiral pattern, work outwards to the outer bolts. Regards John
