Re: Rear Wheel Bearing Type

Take it for a 30 min run before you go in.

1, the bearings will heat up & expand and won’t wobble so much

2, your emissions won’t be rich either as you’ll be fully off choke.

Re: Heavy Duty PVC Tonneau Cover for Singlecab Pick Up

HaHa!

Yeah - they are very expensive, but I guess you get what you pay for.

Any other ideas, what are people using?

What do you use for the support bars too? Bit of box aluminium?

Carburettor Problems

If the choke flap is fully open when warm, you can then unscrew the jets and give them a clean. Once you’ve done the above checks first. Definitely air or fuel issue, not ignition so don’t mess with the dizzy coil or spark plugs. In my experience it’s 90% air/fuel not electrical. Coln Engineering wi...

Re: Running rough after sitting for 3 months

Just let it run for 30 mins at idle, get it hot. The tappets just need some oil and it’ll settle. Then give it a good run, it’ll be ok.

Help identify a coolant junction

Does 7zap.vw still work? Get the part off the schematic if so.

Re: No output from Alternator to rev counter

My rev counter is fed from the negative pin on the coil. Not sure what the alternator has to with that signal. Could be a workaround for you though.

Re: Oil pressure switch

You’ll need a long 24mm socket. You can do it with normal length socket you just can’t ‘house’ the ratchet lever because the spade terminal from the sensor will be there.

Subaru conversion

Nice write up - looks good.

Stick some Bilstein B6’s up front - to reduce the lift.

They didn’t bleed it properly. Good guide on the old forum from Simon Baxter.

Yup. That’ll be it. Treat yourself to one of these if you’re keeping it for a while, £595 https://vwspeedshop.com/product.php?productid=16733&cat=476&page=1 Brickwerks do the mild steel system for £486.74 or you can just buy the individual part. https://brickwerks.co.uk/product/complete-exha...

Backfire/misfire sounds like its running on 3

Backfire suggests it’s running rich. £0, test the HT leads with a multimeter. Should be 600 ohms per foot. Test all 5. Clean the dizzy cap and rotor arm, that’s free to do too. Spark plugs should be a rusty brown colour. See Haynes manual for the pictures. £5 + clips, is the fuel filter clean? - cha...

Nice to get to the regulator, the untimely death of many a alternator unnecessarily. The heavens have opened but Club 80-90 are still building engines [emoji943][emoji1303]
