Well I ordered hoses, upper, lower and exp. tank were wrong ones from germanautoparts.com for my 86 Golf, will return and hope to get right ones. Hope fuel filter and tstat were right, havent had time to check. Plugs and wires fine though. Question, I got this great runner for $650 w/ 95K orig. miles!! Interior great, runs super, just needed new hoses and cooling system flush. It also most def. needs new struts, 1st gear is hard to locate, but works(bushings need replace?). Also orig. dist cap had shield around it that grounded to dist. body, but new one has metal tap where clamp attaches, is that ok? I'm trying to stay on a cheap budget, what worthwhile to fix and how much and can I do all myself - I have worked on cars for years, just not familiar with Golfs(can i do struts myself?) . Also seems really low geared???!!! Like I need a 6th gear??? And I'm getting about 25 mpg(is thast average?), I have the 1.8 gas motor, no AC and one fanbelt. is a great commuter(better than 99 tahoe 5.7!!!) Any info would be great! Thanks!
