No carb, its an injection model. Recently put some Wynns cleaner thru the system to get my HC level down. could this have shifted gunk somewhere?

Hi. I've got a DH engine 1.9 petrol engined wedge which is doing my thre'pennys in! The idle is playing up a bit and can go anywhere from 1100rpm to dip as low as 800rpm. Mainly the idles at about 1000rpm although I've attempted to adjust it to bring it back to 900rpm. Recently theres been a couple ...

I've even ordered a brand new switch. So the way I see it, the switch works, the fuses are ok, theres no relay that I'm missing, new bulbs fitted also. The side lights work and the main beam works. So from that I can safely assume that the lights are getting power, and the switch (at least as far as...

Sorted - 12mm socket, whacked on with some welly did the trick! Thanks for the assistance everyone!

Evening all, I've a 1985 1.9 wbx with a DH engine which failed it's MoT a week or so ago. In an attempt to bring it's HC emissions down I've serviced it and run Wynns engine cleaner they the oil. I ran the engine at a fast idle for a quarter of n hour as instructed and then set about emptying the oi...

I've had a butchers and it turns out its a DH Engine. Anyone any idea which spark plugs I would need for this. Just Kampers sell WR7DC which they say is suitable for all VW T25s. The Haynes Manual gives a variety of different plugs for different engines, but not a DH engine. The sensible side of my ...

Do the headlights use a relay?

Hi I've got a T25 Left hook caravelle that has just failed it MOT with a list of biblical proportions of faults. Some of it I'm going to sort myself, some of it will be done by my friendly neighbourhood extortionist (mechanic). The headlight dipped beam isn't working on the L & R sides. Have gon...

Tbh I'm a bit of a novice. How would I find out if it's a DG engine?

There's no O2 reading on the print out that they left me with. CO2 reading is 1.63%, which is well within tolerance levels.

Hi, I've just had my 1.9 waterboxer fail its MOT. Its a 1985 German Lefthooker and the HC Emissions have come in at 1237 ppm (pass would be 1200ppm). Its not the only thing that its failed on, and it has a lengthy list of fairly minor issues, including headlamp not working on dipped beam, tyre, and ...

well if he don't need them ya more than welcome .. but sounds like he's in need if things split n gone "boobs" up.. if near enough i'll fix a mount etc and repair ya exhaust Thanks v much - if you have some exhaust mounts I'll gratefullyy take them off your hands. Are you sure that you do...

CovKid wrote:I always fix somewhere to the engine, that way as the engine moves on its mounts, the exhaust moves with it and therefore not under stress. I had a similar prob on mine but used a bungee attached to a clamp around exhaust box.

Any pointers for a good spot?

Evening all! I've a 1985 T25 left hooker with an exhaust problem. To get my van thru its MOT I had to have a new silencer fit to the van. The guy at the garage had a bit of a moan about how difficult it had been to hang the silencer, although "he had managed". Two weeks ago I was on my way...

Apologies, its a 1900 petrol!
