indicaters
Just getting my 73 square ready for roadworthy.
The indicater lever does not flick back after turning. Having never owned a VW before, is this normal and will this be a problem with getting a
roadworthy?
Can anyone help with how to fix it? Parts etc?
Cheers |

They all did it originally, but the pissy little plastic hooks that hold the spring snap off real easy.
Also most aftermarket steering wheel bosses dont have real good tab parts that operate it, heaps smaller than stock wheels

I guess mine is broken too?
I didd'nt know if they had self cancelling either but now I know they did so Ive got stock original broken self cancellers.
I think you should just take a chance on getting it over the pits.

Depends where you get a roadworthy...mine passed and only one of mine self cancels... but... it is a road worthy item. You can buy parts to fix it but
probably see if they pick it out on first try...

Are the fragile self-cancelling indicators almost up there with the stupid pneumatic windscreen washers in terms of VW design faults? They would have
to be close.

It is not a legal requirement for the indicator to self cancel.

No indicator cancel for me. Passed blue. Never been questioned on a pink.
The washer used to work then put electric in, the motor died so now don't have washers either, but I have more boot space.
