Thanks for the reply Chris, Ill check out the relay etc, I take it this is regarding the lack of reversing lights and 4 wheel drive in reverse. This won’t affect 4 wheel drive in forward will it?
Is the lack of 4 wheel drive in forwards likely to be a freewheel issue?

I had the same issue with tyres rubbing on rear shocks as I used mk1 golf shocks on the back. I have just replaced them with a set made for the syncro off ebay. They cost £66 with free delivery and were gas shocks. Fitted them yesterday and all seems fine. They are still listed on ebay here.

I found that out when I went o see them the other day. Its going back together today so will have to be the bolt missing option for now. Ive got a spare standard one so may just cut it and tig it back up at some point. Thanks for your help.

Thanks Chris, I was told this and it is most likely what will happen, just thought I would post something to see if I could find correct bracket.
Thanks for your replies, thats great. Im going to get in on axle stands tonight and get under while its running and see if I can work out whats making the noise and then Ill come back to you. Where abouts are you based Danny?
Im very near to Gatwick.
What sort of money are we talking?

Hi
I see your post is a little old but thought it was worth a try, would you by any chance have a rear shock? Im looking for a useable secondhand one just to get my syncro through mot untill such time that I get syspension kit.
Cheers

Hi all
Ive have just bought a 1989 rh drive 5 door golf syncro. Seems to be in all original condition but has been off the road so quite a while. Def needing some tlc. I have put it in for mot and has failed on some welding and other minor issues. I have already upgraded the brake to 16v from some spare hubs I had laying around. The syncro dont seem to be working but have been reading through all your posts so will start testing things later.
My plan is to firstly get it on the road and use it while I fin tidying up my 16v and to find any issues the syncro has and hatch a plan for the syncro. The main issue I have for the mot is that I need 1 rear shock absorber.
Can anyone point me in the direction of a supplier of a standard item at sensible price? Im beginning to realise that this may not be possible!! Failing that anyone got a servicable s/h one that will get me on the road for short time?
I must say good job on the site guys, so much info on here has been very useful and inspiring.
Matt
