Hi and welcome!
I've moved your post to the technical section of the forum (Electrics) so hopefully you'll get some helpful replies soon (not everyone visits the Newbies section regularly).
What things, if any, have you tried so far to remedy the problem? Even if the hazard switch is dead, the indicators should still work. I'm thinking relay. Hopefully someone else can add…

This could well be due to a faulty flasher switch [the dash one] . Quite common . Switch is still available .

But have also seen water in the fuze box and wet relays causing the same thing for location see  The Mk1 Golf Owners Club

This will sound so basic, but it happened to me the other day.  It was the fuse!  just have a look at the fuse on the box, it may just need  changing.
