Hi all
I am after a little help with my mk 2 golf syncro, It won’t engage 4 wheel drive, I think it must be an issue with the freewheel system in the rear diff or vacuum issue. I dont have any reversing lights also, I have tried another gearbox switch but this has not solved the problem. Must be relay or wiring issue. As I understand it the reversing light issue wont affect 4 wheel drive in forward motion. When we had all the snow earlier in the year I traced the power wire to the rear diff solenoid and wired it up to a power source to make the diff engage as it would in reverse and the 4 wheel drive worked fine so the viscous coupling seems ok. This is my first syncro and I have to say that I was very surprised and impressed with how well it worked in the snow. Had loads of fun!
I would however like to get it working properly now as I am going to sell her.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Matt
