Ongoing Projects / Re: G40 out after 10 year

Last post by Rich_Royal - November 02, 2023, 11:08:56 PM

Nice looking car, is it royal blue? I was going through the register a few months ago trying to work out how many might be left on the road that colour, came to the conclusion mine was possibly the only one not currently sorn so it's good to see another back out and about.

Hi guys,
Sorry for my english.

I was wondering if there are people searching for the spark plugs W5DP0. For quite some time the spark plugs are completely out of stock here in holland.

No. I think something more extensive is the basis.
My battery drains 25% in 8h at night

nothing on https://www.volkswagen-classic-parts.com/ so I suspect non existent unless a new old stock one pops up on ebay.

probably best to get new ones fabricated, not particularly complex parts

I don't think they're available anymore. VW used to sell, have you asked VW? I'm not aware of any pattern ones.

Thanks

hmm, this plus your lights not working, I think you've got a problem with the wiring to the back of the dash pod. Take it out and have a look at the wiring. Are there any other issues with it? warning lights coming on, rev counter stopping working etc...?
