Re: GTi conversion using automatic box

What did you decide to do in the end? I am in a similar situation but my DG has lost compression on no. 3 and needs pulling out. My thoughts are: to rebuild the current engine and stick with the underpowered feeling (German autobahns are a bit iffy!) and using it to your Europe is the plan. To ship ...

Re: Is there any difference between auto carb

Does anyone know what the jetting is for the auto?
I'm going to rebuild a spare carb and while I'm at it I'd like to fit the correct jets.

Re: Headlight issue

Not yet - I ran out of light and thought I'd seek out the wise advice on here.

Fingers crossed

Instrument cluster lights

Hi,

First post, recently bought a T25....

I had no dash lights on the speedo - wiggled the buld and it came back on. Turned on the lights yesterday and now theres nothing illuminatedon the dash - the headlights all work fine and fuse 3? is ok.

Checked the bulbs with a meter - any suggestions?
