Hopefully added the two pictures I have. I will try and find out more info for you.

Thanks for the reply.

Hi, I have just bought a 1988 VW Transporter with a side tilting pop top (see profile pic). The assembly to keep the pop top up does not appear to be complete. It has the hydraulic arms at the front and back but the steel bar and rollers at the back looks incomplete. Does anyone know where I can fin...

I am loving your optimisim that you post what you think has fixed it after you have fixed it but before you have tested it.. of course if I start getting hot start problems again I will turn my nose up at the idle stabilizer unit or timing and try the fuel pump instead.. my moto was for ages always...

hiya i posted a message a while back about problems i was having when i was trying to start from hot..quick run down.......van would start and run sweet,i would stop then when i started up again shortly after it would only run for about 1 minute before cutting out , then i would have to wait about a...

hey guys, i have the same problem,starts and runs like a dream from cold but the little sh**e doesn't want to go very far when i start from hot.it does start but not for long,i seem to have to wait for about an hour tho when it cuts out. 1984 1.9 watercooled transporter....gonna clean up all the con...

was that the one near the tank.as these sometimes get overlooked.if one has been fitted near the carb.they get clogged with sh*te and cause fuelling problems.... and inline filter yeah i replaced the fuel filter next to the tank,that is the only one.there is a non return valve near the carb.confuse...

Could be the "cutoff" valve on the carb sticking.. or even fuel vaporisation in the float bowl.. how long do you wind it over for when trying to restart and do you use any throttle? cut off valve as in solinoid?i checked the solinoid by turning the key and removing the connector. when i t...

Hi, try driving/running it without the petrol cap on. This will release the vacuum. This happened on a Nissan van I used to have. If it runs OK drill a small hole in the cap. Anythings worth a try. Good luck :wink: yeah tried that too but no joy,same old same old.got a peirburg carb and manifold so...

hey folks, my 1984 transporter 1900 watercooled starts and runs great,been away last week to dollar then volksfling. prob is i have to wait for about an hour after i switch it off before it goes again.it does start but cuts out shortly after, then the waiting begins. i have replaced the fuel line an...

guys, thanks for all your help and advice, i replaced the fuel filter ( only fitted one next to tank ) and also the fuel line,the old filter was choked with dirt and the fuel line had about 4 joins.correct me if im wrong but if you replace the fuel pump surely you replace the filter in fuel line at ...

hey, someone else with a similar problem. i also have a 1.9 petrol watercooled (1984) got it running sweet but when i stop and start it shortly after it only drives for about 200 yards before dying on me,i have to wait about an hour for it to cool down before it will start again,i have bled the pipe...

futurecut wrote:Could be dodgy fuel cut-off solenoid or did you replace the fuel pump with a duff one? That's what mine did when it was dying.

checked the fuel solinoid and it seems to be working,the previous owner replaced the fuel pump the receipt suggests the pump was new.

cheers.
