Mine syphons back to the tank if I park on a hill! I can hear air being sucked in through the fuel pump pivot after the engine has been run. I havnt sorted it out yet though, no fuel leak from pump yet but will get it replaced. Ive seen non return valves for sale on ebay, thought that might be a goo...

It will be fine as long as you have the correct coolant mix.

Brake servo hose and various other vacuum leaks were making mine run crap. When the engines running, grab hold of the servo hose and see if the revs rise.

no way they will fit!

Yeah used to buy everything there but postage is unrealistic to me now hence shopping elsewhere, also that one is cheaper
As long as it fits and works il be happy, cheers for your help Kev

Will this one be ok?

Should it get to a point where I cant suck it any further? as at the mo I can keep putting vacuum through it endlessly. I can hear the diaphragm moving though, will take the dizzy off tomorrow and have a look to see if its moving.

that's the info I needed, thanks. Just want to make sure its right as it feels a bit down on power now ive cured a few problems. Pulls away lovely now those air leaks are gone, no more jerky low revs but not much pull on full throttle. Need to check my vacuum advance is working properly as I can kee...

Hi there I have an 86 1.9dg on a pierburg 2e3 carb, have just removed two large vacuum leaks -one from the brake booster hose and the vacuum advance pipes were leaking.

Bit bleak out there on the military road, literally in the middle of nowhere, but if you like that kind of thing then

Ive had an alloy wheel welded that's on my golf though not the van, that's been fine for a couple of years now, yours is probably showing you that the weight loading is wrong on the rim. Low profile tyres wont help either.

17 inches floor to base of seat then 6 inch to massive steering wheel!

Don't know what model mine are from but I kept the van rails and borrowed my t25 seat runners and made them fit the Saab seats, also cut the height down as low as we could get them.
They now fit in as per original seats will go out and measure floor to seat base in a mo.

Do you just apply that under the rubber seal then?
