i recently purchased a 96 cabby 1.8 ghia and the heated window and mirrors did not work on investigating the fuse box found a wire going from a fuse to a relay when i removed this the car would not start and the fuel pump would not work,replaced said wire and it started so i was wondering if there was a common fault and also where can you get a new fuse box other that main dealers as they are costing in the region of over 300.00 any ideas any one and what do you replenish the motor for the power hood with as it is on minimum?

These are easily repairable, just requires a bit of soldering. If you look in the technical section I have a how to guide to fix the 'box. Avoid second hand, the problem is common to all mk5 an mk6's due to poor quality manufacture.

 

It cost me in the region of £7 in solder and spray.

 

Fluid for pump can be had from any vw dealer for £7 per litre.
