Just thought I'd share my recent car purchase - an 1981 VW MK1 Cabriolet. I was sort of shopping for a coupe/GTI, but this came up at a decent price so I'll play this this for a bit.
It's my first VW. My brother had a MK2 GTI in high school that we worked on though. I'm surprised how big it is. Way taller than the 914 and a bit taller than even then 997. What are the best forum(s) for these cars? VWVortex? Others? -Steve |

I tried to not make this a project!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) -Steve Coolant temp sensor possibly? The VW part number looks too boogerd up to read even when clicking on the photo. If you can clean up that pipe and obtain the part number, run it through Google to see what it is. UPDATE: Did some searching and came across a website with info on Cabriolets. Found said part 056-919-367 or 056-919-369 under the engine sensors, senders and switches section. Oxygen sensor thermo switch (K-Jet lambda) 1980-1983. It bypasses O2 sensor input during cold running for open loop fuel enrichment base on coolant temperature. Location: Left side of the cylinder head in one of the heater hoses. Original part is NLA there is an updated part is plastic and will require wire retrofit. per www.cabby-info.com/electrical.htm The replacement sensors which are available by themselves now are part number 025906041A.
