Start to redo the CV’s, striped them and washed the shaft, painted the shaft black, and fitted new cv boots and new cv ‘s on them, will use the old cv’s that is nothing wrong with them for the Blue SC.

Okay so the Dc was standing for a few months, and i did 0 nothing F$%@#$%all to it, (dem cow that cept me busy and my wallet bussy on the POLO) so now yesterday i washed it again as the dust was nearly a inch thick on it, i have moved it back into the double garage and i fitted its new steering wheel from the 2007 model chico, actualy got the steering wheel for the polo but decided to put it in the DC - ja ja i know this is wortless without pictures, i will take some pictures this afternoon, i had a look at its wireing and man, there is one big FU$##up, and i know zults about the origenal wireing and its codes and all, even consulted the workshopmanual, but i do not anderstand German, he he he he, so i strongly think of fetching my sidecutters and clean out all the wires in the DC and do the wireing like i did with the buggy, only one thing that is troubling my mind is how do you couple the electric fan up to a temperature switch, but i think i will take it step by step, sort out first all the tail and emergency lights, then the headlamps and then the viper moter and water bottle, then i will do the heater fan and radiator fan. then i will do the engine then last i will do all the instrementation on the dash.

You not the only one who has a tangled mess of wiring. I'm also tempted to rip out all of the wiring fro m my Fastback, but my neighbour who is a qualified auto electrician insists that there's no need to and that he can figure it out.

I'm sure that the DC isn't that complicated to wire up considering that there's no fuel injection etc?
If it's too low, you're too old :twisted:
