Title: Signal lights not working!!
Post by: Bolek on September 30, 2011, 04:08:03 PM

greatings all!    just bought a gorgeous 1981 maluch in poland :)    she runs good, but a few questions.

Signals not working...     however when i turn headlights on, and do signals, they switch to high beam??    Where is the fuse?    any tips for common problems that would affect signals?

General questions:

tire pressure?
fuel guage - how accurate is it - is empty 'empty' or reserve left?

any other tips or tricks of things I can 'tune' up with no tools would be appreciated haha 

i already topped up the oil , and burned my hand in the process - touched exhaust manifold while grabbing dipstick... ouch!!!


lloving the little car though :)

Try cleaning the bulb holders in your rear lights.

Tyre pressure: i put in 1.9 or 2.0 bar at the front and 2.2 bar at the rear. I think the factory settings are less....

Fuel gauge: it's not entirely empty on 0 as i've experienced. When the fuel warning light starts flashing (e.g. when starting and stopping, fast bends) then there's about 7-8l left, when the light is continuously on then there's about 5l. The needle was nearly on 0 (didn't overlap the white line enitirely) when i once filled it up and there was about 4l left then. So when the needle's on 0 then there's about 1-2l and the car will stop pretty soon (especially uphill) :)
