I have a Volkswagen Polo 1979 (26,000 on the clock! :P with full history) I have been experiencing a very strange problem in that my car will usually start with no problems just buy giving it alittle bit of choke, now i havn't used my car in awhile and was intending on using it for a big trip...

Thanks for the reply guys, there isn't a CD inside the headunit, i've checked, it's empty. Is there anyway of checking the laser e.t.c? I really do believe that the laser is just dirty, i brought if off a friend Very cheaply as it was a spare he didn't need from fitting a better, newer one...

Hi all, i'm pretty new to this, my headunit has been playing cd's fine up until recently, a few days back i tried putting in an album i brought and it wouldnt play, the disc goes in to the headunit, and then just pushes it straight back out. The car is turned on and the radio on the headunit...

I was gonna say it sounds like the alternator, but after uve said that about the battery (which i didnt know about) i have a question: I've got a 1980 Volkswagen Polo L, its got a tiny battery and the only real electricals it powers is the lights, 1 8W speaker, an basic 1980 incar radio, and 1...

I do not have the manual for my headunit, nor can i get one for free, so if i cant do it myself ill just pay an extra £10 and get someone to install it for me.. (£20 for manual to be ordered). Anyway ive been trying to figure out the wiring layout of my ISO Connector/block that came with my...

thanks

Whats the difference between 1 through to 8 ohms in terms of speakers, quality, Decibel levels, distortion e.t.c? I had someone tell me that most car speakers are 1 or 2ohms, but more is better? They didnt say why.. was just wondering if they were wrong or right and if so please explain..

OK, right because of the previous post i have searched and searched to try and get the info needed, and so in the post i have a wiring diagram of the ISO connector that i recieved with this CD Tuner - which will help me wire it big style anyway, i found this in the archives of some dead car...

Well, i am completely lost now, i have a wiring diagram of the ISO connector (the extra wiring harness i previously called it) on its way to me in the post free from pioneer. I'm going to get a friend from a local garage to have alook at what needs doing once i have that and then face facts...

oh and my headunit is rated 4-8ohm and my 6x9s are 150W RMS @ 4ohms if that helps - doubt it..

ok, well i have a voltage meter and have turned the ignition on and measured the Voltage of each black wire (as to determine Positive or Negative, which i now know, hence i have connected my two 6x9s.. so thats not the problem the problem is that i have a modern Panasonic DEH-890 CD Tuner /...

Yes the black i believe is the 12v power, and the green is definately ground. The brown and red cables i have no idea what they are for, as in the pictures you can see that there is some black wire which has some Red connectors half way through it, the other end of those connected to the...
