The second fusebox controlling primarily interior passenger compartment features is located on the driver's side of the dashboard.

Which diesel engines will fit into a 1981 vw pickup?

Short Answer:

Pretty much any four-cylinder, diesel VW engine intended for the front-wheel drive, transverse-mounted (and some older longitudinal mounted cars like the Audi 4000/80, Dasher/Passat, Vanagon) Golf/Jetta chassis will physically 'fit' within the bay.

...and the explanation:

However, the newer the motor design, the more skills/money one will need to be at actually making everything work correctly, be serviceable/drivable by anyone (possibly excluding or including the owner).

The 1.5l and 1.6l diesel, as well as various other gasoline engines, were the production offerings for the VW Truck in North America.

A turbo variant of the 1.6l motor was produced after '81 for Europe, but the NA market received relatively few of them, and generally not until later (about '85 or so). It's possible to bolt the turbo bits to the earlier motors, the results of which vary.

The 1.9l has been produced in several different configurations. They become progressively more complex, powerful, quieter and less of a direct bolt-in installation. The latest motors requiring more fabrication work and skill with parts swapping/matching.

After 1983 Volkswagen Rabbit gti sets for about 20min it is hard to start?

Check the check valve located at the inlet of the fuel pump for leaks. It sounds like the fuel accumulator has failed. get under car , remove fuel pukp and accumulator assembly.

Where is the fuse box located on a 1981 vw rabbit?

It is under the dash on the drivers side. You will need to move the drivers seat all the way back to be able to get to it and see the fuses. The type of fuse box depends on if the car was a early or late 1981. Also the North American cars had the later fuse box with the push in fuses. The early and German made cars had the old fashion ceramic with brass over it fuses that sit in a metal plate under a copper top spring loaded contact. Rabbits are known for a leak developing in the lower portion of the left side of the windshield, or in the rain tray under the hood. Both produce a leak that drips directly into the fuse box and corrodes the contacts with massive rust. So if you find rusted contacts, plan on finding the leak and fixing it first, then replace the fuse box. Good luck!

It is to the far left, underneath the dash.

Were can you get an electrical diagram for a 1986 Volkswagen Cabriolet or Rabbit?

buy a chilton's manual, and it will be in there. your local vw dealership service dept should be able to print one out for you...

I have, and am currently researching this issue. The Chilton's manual (I have a copy) does not reflect correctly the '86 Cabriolet. These were built in the Scirocco facility (years '85 thru '93 I believe). For correct wiring as well as other issues with your '86 VW Cabby purchase the "Volkswagen Cabriolet, Scirocco Service Manual" from Bentley Publishers.com, Stock Number VS93.
