1990 TSI Restauration

[neuralracing]

Just got a 1990 TSI from the shop. I bought the car and dropped an engine in it. Now I am working on resolving som eother issues that it has...

1) One head light does not pop open.
2) Wipers do not work.
3) Fog Light switch is stuck in... will not pop out to shut them off.
4) Passenger Window leaves its track when on the way up (So I have to guide it to close).
5) Horn doesn't work

Can I get a Reference to start resolving these issues?

Any advice from anyone? Please help...

Your head light motor is dead, I got one PM me if ya wanna buy it
2) Wipers do not work.
check fuses
3) Fog Light switch is stuck in... will not pop out to shut them off.
somone rigged it cuz it was broken simply pull it and it will turn off the fogs
4) Passenger Window leaves its track when on the way up (So I have to guide it to close).

So its one headlight motor per headlight? How could I check to make sure its that before buying a new Motor?

 

[Mike1992]

i dunno how to check but yes each headlight has a motor with an arm attached to the headlight

 

[neuralracing]

I wonder how easy it would be pull the motor from the one that works and putting it on that side just to check

 

[Mike1992]

that wont work they can only mount on one side, first of all check to see if its plugged in

I wonder if there is a VFAQ on this so I can look at taking it apart to verify.

headlight - pull off the arm that moves headlight up/down , now have a buddy turn on lights , look and see if motor operates . if it does , you need some wd40 to spray the hinges on headlight . you will need to remove the plastic pieces from around the front of headlight.

My brother was in front of my car yesterday and he was playing around with the head light and he pulled it open with no force at all... does that mean that the arm is loose? I left it open and hit the switch so the other one doesn't close...

sounds like your missing the arm from motor to headlight looks for missing pieces
