Re: Horn - metal ring under the wheel

Horn - metal ring under the wheel

Hi guys, I just fixed the metal ring under the wheel which works as a connection between the horn button and the rest of the circuit. I just soldered the gap as you can see from the pictures. I didn't try it yet but it should work. The metal ring gets worn and at some point these gaps can come out. ...

Mann Filter W719/12 & some 15W/40 ‘mineral’ oil Brickwerks sell a good service kit, I recommend you do the other bits too. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200811/65997eeb88e8486ba2f8c85c8426ddcc.jpg Interesting channel. 74 subscribers and no content :) I have got some material about a paname...

Best oil filter?

Hi guys,
I cannot find on the forum any topic about it, is there any oil filter that you tend to suggest? I almost always have used Bosch but is there anything better or a type of Bosch that you think is better than others?

Thanks in advance

Re: Improving airflow in the engine room

Hello, A bit lost here.... :? Air-Cooled is Air-Cooled.... The barrels run at about 180 Celcius, the oil at 80 Celcius.. The turbine driven air system dumps into ambient air at -20 to +50 Celcius... There is more than enough margin to lose the combustion heat from a little 70 hp VW motor.. :roll: A...

Re: Aircooled knocking

How much more power do you reckon you get from these starting from a factory 79hp? Well it's a partially educated guesstimation, but considering increasing the compression ratio on the WBX 2.1 from 9:1 to 10.5:1 gave a claimed 17bhp increase from an otherwise mechanically identical engine, I would ...

I still don't understand what a milf dilf combo is, but it's fine.  :D Will it suffice to say it was from a Micky Flanagan show? Legend or barsteward? You decide.

Re: Aircooled knocking

Instead of big bore for a bit more power I'd recommend going for these https://www.heritagepartscentre.com/uk/029198075hc-barrel-piston-kit-type-4-2000cc-high-compression-94mm.html and a new/good used head.
