It’s all back together and… well… it didn’t solve the problem. Fuel coming out of the return line when pump primes so deffo all good in that department. Whilst staring into the engine bay in despair and starting to work through testing for spark I took the distributor cap off. Well it was a mess in ...

So I take it mine is the 1.9 carb, not the fuel injection model as I was told. Sorry I’m really not mechanically talented haha https://i.postimg.cc/3RP5kZFG/IMG-2189.jpg That bit in the middle under the black plastic ‘pancake’ is your carburettor. Probably a pierberg 2e3. They are great when set up...

renew the breather flexis while you are there, check the grommets, filler neck hose etc.. clean the earth connection on the body for the level sender and clean the electrical connections, put some Vaseline on the earth when you reconnect Thanks Aidan- I’ve just done the breather flexis. They were p...

If you don’t mind me asking, where did you get your new fuel filter from, I ordered one for a 1.9 FI from heritage parts and it turned up, well it won’t fit as it’s about ten times the size as my existing one. https://i.postimg.cc/8cxHpQZL/IMG-2184.jpg Ah - you’ve got a filter for fuel injection en...

I’ve dropped the fuel tank today as was running badly symptoms of poor fuelling so having done a new fuel filter. Fuel pump is pretty new, wiring to fuel pump renewed with fuel pump, I made the decision to clean out the years of crud and rust flakes etc from the fuel tank. That done and the tank dry...

Hi folks, what experience have you had of compressor fridges?

Ideally make, model, price and if you would or would not buy again….

On my radar are:

Boo 50L (as on Coombe Valley Campers)
Alpicool CR50X

Open to people making a case for chest style fridges too.

It’s the earth for your horn. It attached into the other side of the coupling as per photo below (taken from https://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=263625 ) https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20260419/c35d3c143b7e2c46e44452dc6ca02d58.jpg I can’t remember how it attaches in there Im afraid i...

All done and dusted. Working like clockwork now. Bring on the rain!!!!

For @shinnster here’s a wee video I made:

video of wiring to rear wiper

Heya Shinnster, I’ve not videoed it Im afraid but it’s fairly straight forward. A decent crimping tool and something to get the spade terminal out of the connectors teally help. As you I pulled the old stuff out i used electrical tape to attach some string so I could feed it back the same route. The...

AFAIK the wiring goes in the left grommet and only the washer pipe in the right. Done it! Thanks for the tip. I was too zoomed in to think of that. Extra cable on the way to route the wiper power the other way. And a new wiper motor. The old one appear to be completely seized. The rear demister is ...

AFAIK the wiring goes in the left grommet and only the washer pipe in the right. Thanks ZsZ interesting to note. It would help. The old wiper wiring I have replaced certainly my went through with the washer pipe. Bit of a pain as I’ve not got enough cable of the right colours to make the longer run...

How do people get the wiring from it for the washer hose and wiper wiring to seat in properly? I’ve been at it on and off all day. Swearing cajoling. A range of tools. Asking it if it wants to talk about its feelings. Nothing. The de mister side is done. Easy peasy. The other one. F@%* no. Tips welc...

Tapatalk seems the easier way to post pictures….
