Hi, a friend of mine bought one from vf as well, he has squarelights but still has screws on top for grille. We found that a self tapping screw on each side works to fit eyebrow/spoiler tightly although it needed a little filing out in the centre to fit snugly over his vw badge, so when putting the ...

I had identical problems, totally ruined my holiday in Dorset this year, however on return, I stripped the carb down myself while watching TV in my lounge one evening, my wife was not impressed, I followed online instructions and my Haynes manual and discovered a few interesting things. 1: at the bo...

I did exactly this recently, except using Brickwerks kit. Works Great. - Jason.,

Hi, thanks for that, I can see a single line of petrol being squirted down, with some pressure, it hits the wall of the venturi just before the opening of the flap at the bottom.

How would I remove this jet, to check if it is blocked or to clean it?

I have this exact same problem! I have no mid-range, just a gentle take-off in low range, then a few seconds hesitation, ride the clutch a bit and then sudden power!!. High End is good once going. But the Flat-Spot is a pain. I have fitted a new vac advance unit from brickwerks, new fuel pump, accel...

Wot he said! Weber dealer has agreed to a refund for the carb, woohoo! Reverting to original Pierburg 2e3 carb courtesy of a very quick sale by 80-90 member H34TON (cheers mate) I have since discovered my VAC Advance Unit on the Distributor is totally knackered. RESULT! I think the problem will be r...

Result! Thanks for that.

Desperately now after the three long mounting bolts needed for the Pierburg 2e3 Carburettor.

The ones that fit directly into the inlet manifold.

Anyone have three that I could paypal you, with next day delivery?

- Jason.

Hi, I am buying a Pierburg that should be with me tomorrow, which I am going to fit, but I am concerned that this won't solve my problem.

Hi URGENT HELP NEEDED, I am due to go away on monday (26th) and my carb is playing up, does anyone have some information that could possibly help. I will try and outline the problem, this may not be carb related?. It's a 1983 Petrol 1.9DG. Basically I think I have a major overfuelling problem on ste...

Hi, I have gone down the same road replacing with a weber 34DAT. I bought the weber conversion direct from a webcon dealer, with the fuel return valve on the fuel inlet pipe exactly as you have above. I have it all installed and has been running great, however... When going up a steep incline it cut...

Hi I Wondered if anyone can help, I am looking for a supplier for a pair of 1.9 DG Inlet Manifold Gaskets? Cannot seem to find any anywhere, GSF, or Just Kampers, Brickwerks etc, they all seem to be for Aircooled or diesel? Am I missing something really obvious? Any help would be much appreciated. -...

Hi thanks for your help, this is what the weber dealer said; The original Weber DAT's used had a return in the lid. These have not been available for some time & as a special type of DAT has to be used for the conversion Weber now have no choice but to use what is available. The last batch have ...

Hi Again, Found the Y-shaped Tunion with small restrictor on the end of one tube. Would you possibly understand whether this might be a solution? Seems funny to have a fuel pipe split with a restrictor to the return pipe? Surely this means the excess fuel has to return down the inlet pipe to be push...

Hi, I had a reply back from the supplier, he is a Webcon Distributor. I believe I have a webber DAT34 II, so it might very well be a modification. Here is his answer: "in the kit was a Tunion with a restrictor. This is put into the main fuel line & the return pipe connected to the restricto...
