[Vwdiesel] Saga of the principle of unintended consequences OR?.

[Travis .]

My vote is your clutch if you haven't replaced it yet will go next since you are asking. My cruise on the first glow plug recall had issues as well. Second one cured all issues. I have a scangaugeII so I can see the actual temps. I don't trust the dash gauge after seeing the actual temps. 

Question from me-I can't remember-what is the amps on an alternator from the 81 year? Mine is the style with the "W" terminal on it that I run the tach's off of. I am asking so I know how many things I can or can't put on my JD Cozy cab that I was able to mount my spare alt on. Might as well use it since I have it. I still am looking for the plug for it though if someone has one. Otherwise I will have to cut the only off my rabbit and use plugs inline to connect back in the spring since the rabbits are summer only in WI where the salt flies.
