First the front tire must be removed. After doing this the rotor and break caliber will need removed, then the last step is using a impact wrench to take the large bolt out of the center of the axle.
The timer relay for glow plugs on a 86 Jetta is under the steering column. It is located in slot ten.
One or a combination of things, Bad vaccum motor, bad vaccum lines, and or dirty axle lubricant. After market shift motors are now available that use mechanical shifting means and replace the very failure prone vaccum motor.
Two wheel or Four wheel drive?
Yes, but you'd be better off with a 2003 Jetta
There are three weights used: GVWR and FRONT AXLE and REAR AXLE. For each vehicle this information is located by opening the driver's door and looking on the door jam (near latch) for the empty weight. My GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) for my '87 Prelude is 3340 lbs. Front axle weight is higher than the rear axle due to the engine up front.

Replace the exaust manifold with Turbo charger and dont forget to install the oil line to the turbo otherwise u will ruin the turbo as of dryness.

Should be slightly in front of the rear axle, passenger side I belive. Has a cover plate underneath it, 3 ? bolts holding it.
No. 85 was the last year for straight axles.
I ASSUME axle code " 86 " is the same as it is on the ( 1996 ) Ford Ranger ( 3.73 gear ratio , conventional / non - limited slip )
Open the drivers door and look for an information sticker , you are looking for the axle code . Submit a question with the axle code and I'll see if I can find the ratio axle code 86 axle tag s3708
