So I've managed to borrow a dti set and want to check the pump timing on my jx, My question is......Can any one shed any light on doing this, tip or tricks etc. I'm not touching the cambelt at this time, So does the exhaust still need to come off? Can the pump timing be done with the engine cold? Al...

Well I've had a further look into this sensor, I found the one in question, the wire was almost broken off the terminal so I replaced that first, went for a 2 min drive, then left for 5 mins and as normal no glow plug light and wouldn't start. So I removed the terminal from the said offending sensor...

Well guys I'm not so convinced about it being pump timing, I know for a fact mine will start by jumping from the positive of the battery onto the top of the first glow plug, which is just a case of the current being sent to all the glow plugs and heating them enough for the van to start. So I'm more...

Hi Simon, thanks for the reply, I know the sensor you mean and I'll have a look at that, I'm also getting my pump timing reset, so fingers crossed that'll also help.
Thanks

Hi peeps, My 1988 Jx powered Karmann Cheetah has developed a problem, when it's been left over night or a good 6 hrs you get a good strong glow plug light and the van starts fine, but when the engine has cooled off a bit after running it will not put any power back to the glow plugs and start again!...

Ok guys, my radiator on my JX powered Karmann Cheetah doesn't get hot to touch like my old 2.1 petrol bus did, When you open the bleed screw plenty of waters coming out ok, The heater gets red hot, best heater I've ever had in a van, The 2 main front to back coolant hoses get warm, the one from the ...

My old 2.1 dj had this issue, fitted a new afm and it was bob on after!

Thank you harrymann, yeah head gasket is suspect and being changed, I just remember reading about not using flushing agents on the 2.1 wasserboxer, did have a look in wiki but just wanted a second opinion.

Morning guys, just bought my next project, 1988 Karmann Cheetah, The previous owner had a new oil cooler fitted and was advised to have the system flushed but never did, And hence the header tank next to the battery is as black as your hat! What's the best plan of action to clean/flush the system?,I...

As Chris said it'll be the multi earth point up behind the fuse box, mine used to do this at least once a week,you can just about get your hand up behind and wiggle the earths around and they should come back to life, i recently fitted a clifford G5 alarm into my bus and had the fuse box out, i noti...

Fitting the big electric mirrors does the job, even at 140kmh they dont budge , problem with the standard mirros is the fact thier flat, and even if you crank the 10mm lock nut up when at high speed and a average head wind anything flat is gonna move!
