I saw some of these Elmos 10417A listed for sale.
Is this the Fix for a Dead 96 -97 B4 Cluster?
And or any confirmed shops that can actually repair one?
Thats still in Business.
There is nothing you can mount on a car that will push a 5 foot buck out of the way its like hitting a Brick wall.
Deer whistles are on every car in PA.
You know how it is once they are binded by Headlights they dont move.
Mount a siren the noise will scare them off .
I grew up in Bradford PA every one used deer whistles on the front of cars and trucks.
One got creative and used a Fog Horn at night to scare Deer off.
You hit a full size deer direct its going into the windshield of any car.
Best advice drive the passat in daytime only .
Truck with a snow plow...
What was the recommendation on replacement of the crank gear?
Some thing like after one hundredth and fifity thousand miles?
Or when the 3 timing belt change is due if i recall.
Any chance this so called 1997 passat still has the BK ECU With the fifth injector operating?
That would account for...
Plastic Gauge the Bearings clearance
Mains can be replaced with the crank installed
If to loose on the clearance 1 piece of newspaper on the bottom of a bearing shell is worth
1/2 of a Thousandths (old factory/machine's trick)
Possibly shim the oil pump spring to.
Have not checked yet about interchange ability.
But would like 2000 New Beetle Sub Shafts Work with the better wheel bearing design?
The patern is 5 on 100 same as a VR6.
It could be cheep Junk Yard available parts.
But i would love to see Garciapianos
Polo.parts conversion.
I am guessing there is no power going to the injection pump.
Do Relay 180 that he said is stuck control power to the injection pump?
There is some Great Experience Experts Here that Would Know
You need to use a test light to make sure power is there on both sides of the Fuse holder Hot one side Ground on other.
Even if fuse is not blown.
I would Suggest
Seams if the injection pump is not getting power to adjust it will be doing
What you are experiencing
Take a test lead from Battey + to the fuel shut off selonoid right above the pump injection lines.
You should hear it click then see if it says running with direct power going to it
The most safe would bite the bullet and get the tow truck.
The Bearing Race could have like allmost welded itself to the spindle.
Making a roadside repair almost impossible.
Also the rotor hub might be damaged were the bearings races just fall out now.
If the wheel comes off it could destroy...
Try Disconnecting Battery + Wire to
the Alternator. Sounds like length of time the Alternator would be
energized. And then denergized.
Could be one way diodes or other failed
There is no Lift Pump in our Beloved 1996 Passat's if that helps.
The stacking spacers was told to me from the (Manufacturer) of them.
So if some one needed a 30mm and a 5mm and 25mm stacking was a (Design) made into them from the (Manufacturer)
There is times when there out of one size for months so.
In my case i just purchased all of them.
You can get Spendel Spacers in.5mm 10mm 15mm 20mm and 25mm
And stack them even.
Like add 5mm and 15
Wide tires on back of a B4.
