Reverse Sychronizer is worn. You need a transaxle rebuild.

These CIS vehicle are tempermental. Best thing to do is change the air filter, clean air flow sensor plate(Spray gunout on a rag and lightly clean it ) Gun out throttle body and a slight idle adjustment. Finallyonce a month put some fuel injection cleaner in the tank. See how this works before we start testing items.

Bring it into VW the shifter has to be reset and the hard plastic bushing that make the shifter work have to be replaced. There is a special toolVW uses to reset the shifter on these vehicles NOT ALL SHOPS HAVE IT. This is a no brainer. If the Dealer is gonna ask a fortune to repair it(Which they shouldn't) You can purchase this tool on line and with the shop manual you can do this yourself.

Your fuel injection distributor does not use electrical power as such---it only needs fuel pressure from the fuel pump. There will be no fuel sent to the injectors until the air coming into the engine when it is turning over raised the airflow plate which will push the plunger up into the fuel distributor. You have a fifth injector called a cold start valve which squirts some fuel to crank your car and this will start the fuel injectors working as I described. The cold start valve is activated when you turn your key over to crank position only if your coolant is cold, it does not work if your car is warmed up. You need good cranking speed to start the air flow to start injectors working. Make sure your fuel pumps are working by cracking the line to the cold start valve, but be careful of fuel.
