Is it done with scotchlock connectors of 1 of the rear light units? if so it is very likely to be the earth connection.

[Chris S]

It should be the same as the std 2wd Golfie.

The correct speedo head you need (p/n 193957033E) is available from here

http://www.volkswagen-classic-parts.de/bestand/index_e.html

it is the only head with the correct rating (1740) & was only fitted to the RHD UK Syncro

the 2wd speedometer heads are rated at 1505 for the 1050/1300 cc & 1540 for the 1600/1800 motors

I believe that this figure relates to the number of turns the speedo cable must make to record 1 mile,

or 1 kilometer as in a kilometer speedo as the relevent figures are 935 & 950.

These are the Rallye Golf Disc brake Handbrake cables

P/N 191609721H left hand & P/N 191609721K right hand

They are available at VW classic parts

You also will need 2 of the disc splash plates P/N 191 615 611C,

btw the Rallye cables are still available from VW Classic parts []

So, I’m getting less revs/kph, but due to the drive factors of the speedo, it shows more kms than I’m travelling!

Thats Correct

You need a RHD (Miles) Syncro speedometer & fit in your LHD speedo housing, make sure its the same make, Motometer or VDO.

[Chris S]

Yes, the smaller joints/flanges were supposedly fitted up to the end of the 1989 model year,

but in practice can be often found on later models, Clive’s 1991 Country being a prime example.

[Chris S]

The final drive ratio is different on the Country, as is the speedo calibration.

My bet is that you have taken out an(original Golf Country) AXR code gearbox with a 68/14 = 4.85 to 1 diff
(early type with 90mm drive flanges)
& fitted
an ARM code gearbox with a 67/15 = 4.46 diff,
(later type with 100mm flanges)

btw the drive flange diameters are not related to the final drive ratios.

Also the 220 Kmph Country speedo has a drive factor of 1100, the standard 220 Kmph LHD Syncro has a factor of 1080
While the UK RHD Speedo has a factor of 1740.

to add to the confusion there are also 2 different speedo drive cogs which can be fitted to the gearbox end of the cable,
1 has 15 teeth while the other has 16.

The second vacuum line is a breather & is usually placed in the wiring harness cover to prevent dirt etc getting i

Shinya, I have a centre console here if you want it?

[Chris S]

Nah, they will just come through the Tunnel like all the other illegals.

[Chris S]

You won’t believe the difference the Rallye rear arb will make, it totally kills the understeer, & without any drama the car just goes where you point it!
