I was only outside for an hour or so. Thought this thread was over!
Well not sure what the conclusion is as to what models they come on but mines a1.6 driver and has them

 

Well I would not like to boast but....

I have four electric windows, heated/electric mirrors, leather and wait for it..... factory air con.

Did I also mention I have a nice blonde fiancee!

1991(H) VW Golf G60 Fire & Ice Dark Violet Pearl Effect, Petrol, LHD




ANYWAY I've got G60 in dark violet pearl effect with 73k, Recaro interior in grey velour, with original Fire and Ice alloy wheels (Estorils), SUPERcharger, 190bhp tuning kit, and sports steering wheel. And it goes like sh** an' evryone turns to look as it goes past in a cloud of dust, and, and.....

Ahem...I rest my (very fat full of banknotes) case.

PS/ It's my third car

 

Oh well you win then I guess.......but I still have a fit blond fiancee!!!

 

did I mention my 36-20-38 Italian girlfriend, how silly of me - I was thinking only of my cars.....

 

I've a can of deicer in the winter that you can spray out the window while doing 70 on the M1 to defrost the screen on the go.


But I really miss the heated mirrors to clear them of water in weather like this weeks.

 

yeah but its left hand drive!

 

i also have leccy heated mirrors, and who said they were rare!!!

 

i use an ice scraper

 

sorry to open up an age ol thread but.....

just doing the same coz one of the pipes has busted.

What do the little circles do that are between the actual jets and connectors.......


coz I lost one.

 

Wish this thread had been bumped half a day ago.

I just ordered replacements for mine cos when I measured the resistance at the connectors one was infinite, the other a couple of kilohms, not much heating potential there.

I assumed (cos I was too lazy and cold-fingered to explore) that they wouldn't be mendable...

 

OMFGG, for a second there........
...i thought .......my digital temp display connected to the intake through a little hole above the carb actually read -9.8 !

HAHAHA must be b****cked

No chance of carb icing there then...



anyhoo...

Just fitted em back on and oh yes they work lurvly.

Used a bit of mekkle instead of the little circle

but

it's waaaaaaaaaaaaaay too warm tonight for any multimetering about, will go and sit in my nice cold living room and play GREEDINC.

 

Are you taking the mickey out of me?

 

nah man!

Just can't beleive how cold it is.


I wanna find out how they heat up and if they are working and if it needs to be when the rear window heaer switch is on!

NO way am I fiddlin with the m'meter tonight, I am like you, too lazy and cold fingerererreederd!

 

Oh, I see.

I thought maybe you misinterpreted my line "I just ordered replacements" as "I'm too rich to fiddle about". (Not the case!)

What I really meant was " I have just ordered replacements (after a struggle to justify the cost to myself) and wish I hadn't now that this thread leads me to believe I might have been able to fix them..."

As said somewhere on page 1, they come on with the ignition, all the time the engine's on, so a lickle tiny waste of power most of the time in the UK.

I measured the 12V feed as being OK last week, and even cleaned up the connectors inside the housings as they're not sealed in any way, and were quite corroded, but still no joy. Hence measuring the resistance looking for a 'heater-ish' value.
