This still here? When you say no heat from heaters, is there a thermostat fitted, or has it suddenly stopped for some reason?

The heater matrix is prone to scaling up in Mk2 Golfs and the heater bypass valve can fail on them too. I replaced one on my wife's old Golf with a Mk4 heater matrix. Its a fiddly job because you have to do it hanging upside down in the passenger's footwell and most of the dash has to come out but its not overly technical. It took me about 4 hours to do (in sub-zero January temperatures) and most of that was spent faffing around trying to remove the old matrix and fit the new one in the correct place.

when the mfa and rev counter stops working, disconnect the batt for about half hour. they get the hump when the battery goes flat. it hasnt got a loose connection.

when you say heaters were poor, do you mean in heat or power?

I'd put money on the heater problem being down to the bypass valves being blocked. Replace with copper pipe for a nice hot heater. *Warning* this carries a SLIGHT risk of the increased pressure causing your matrix to burst. Never happened to me though, in a few years of running like that.
