Title: Haunted 1985 Jetta?
Post by: dyoungen on April 24, 2010, 07:47:17 pm
I have a couple of questions. I have a 1985 N/A Diesel Jetta with the 5 speed and also the clock. The clock only works when nobody is around. By that I mean as long as I"m driving it, the clock doesn't move but when it's parked, it works, not enough to keep time but the time is always later than when I parked it Another thing, there is an arrow at the top of the instraments that glows red when I'm driving it with the gas pedal down cruising at speed. I only notice the red light at night as it's very dim. What does that indicate? Everything seems to be working but

That sounds pretty normal for these cars.

the upshift indicator never works completely it seems. ive seen mine work about 10 times, then nothing for the last 2 months.
