Ok, so I'm probably going to get flamed for posting this since it's probably somewhere in the vortex, but I'm lazy and this has been bothering me for a while, so I'd appreciate any help I can get.
I have a '92 Jetta 8v, and I've been having this problem for a couple months now. Sometimes when I turn the lights on, the speedo and tach won't light up. When I give the plastic a good tap (or even punch sometimes...) the guages light back up. I'm suspecting a loose electrical connection somewhere behind the guages, or bad wires. What I'm wondering is whether or not anyone else has had this problem, and how much work I'm gonna have to do to get behind the guages. Do I have to rip the whole dash off or what? Any help would be much appreciated!
One more thing, I have a leak somewhere in my fuel system. Water keeps getting in and screwing up my engine, so if anyone has any info about this as well, I'd be quite grateful!
