Changing the language in ETKA
1) open ETKA,
2)Click on ETKA starten (Blue box, lower left)
3) there are now a double row of boxes (top right) there is 1 which shows a printer, & right below this a box with a lot of horizontal lines, click on this box
4) a small window will now open, scroll down to Sprachauswahl, mouse over this, a second window will open click on the second line “Englisch”
You are now in English!
Is it done with scotchlock connectors of 1 of the rear light units? if so it is very likely to be the earth connection.
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
http://www.volkswagen-classic-parts.de/bestand/index_e.html
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.
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.
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
This may help
