Hello all. Type 25 1983 fuel injected. Running well 98% of the time. Fine when up 2 speed but occasionally when idling he will cut out but always starts up again straight away( apart from once). Im thinking change fuel filter after depressurising the system of course. Check the jets are spraying nic...

Not sure how easy it is to locate a carb in a country where most of the kombis are injected.then there is the cost of changing it and then the gas conversion. It might be easier and cheaper to carry on with fuel.
Thanks anyway

Hello all. Ive just emigrated to Australia and of course bought another type 25, 1983 fuel injected. If i could kindly pick your brains it would be apreciated.

Thanks everyone. Problem solved.

Anyone got any ideas where the leak could be coming from. It looks like it might be coming from the passenge...

Ive realised today that the noise is not there when the engine is first fired up and is still cold. It seems that when its warmed up it starts. If its any help the bloke i asked the bloke I bought it from and he said the noise has been present for a long time. Bearing in mind this vehicle was regula...

Thanks for the reply. As you say everyone has to start somewhere. Its definately not backfiring/popping under load , it seems to be running really well. Its not really loud but noticeable from the cab with the windows down. It happens at any time i light off, seems worse in lower gears. If im statio...

Thanks for all the replys.

I seriously need to spend some time in the engine bay to see whats what, a lot of what has been said so far seems a foreign language to me but i will get there.

thanks again
