Ziggy Posted March 1, 2020 Report Share Posted March 1, 2020 I am restoring my 1972 mk4 1300 spit and have noticed three 17amp fuses in the fuse box, yet the Haynes manual state they should all be 35 amp, which I will now fit, any ideas why 17 amp were fitted? The car has not been running the two years I have had it as its in bits, and not on the road before that since 1980. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clive Posted March 1, 2020 Report Share Posted March 1, 2020 17A continious are 35A blow, so correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Lindsay Posted March 1, 2020 Report Share Posted March 1, 2020 Those can be hard to find these days, I had to buy online. Your fuse box should have a couple of slots for spares and they're worth carrying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Lewis Posted March 2, 2020 Report Share Posted March 2, 2020 and any replacements beware the ones with a strip metal fuse inside are not rated by the same standards as the 17/35 wire ones and you can head for a melt down before the fuse gives out .
