I bought an inline dial type pressure gauge for the fuel flow that you “plumb” in the fuel line - I believe you are looking for 2-3 bar but that should probably be checked! It sounds like you have other issues as well as the fuel unless they have been resolved now?

I was thinking you might have too much fuel pressure if the float and needle valve weren’t faulty?

I’m in Clevedon and Moores motor cars are a good air cooled vw specialist here - let me know if you want their number- usually very busy but may book you in sooner due to the issue you have

Have you changed your fuel pump recently? Can you check the pressure?

Hello my T25 is air cooled so I’m not familiar with your model but the valves should be adjusted when cold. At the risk of sounding very dim, you are slackening off the valve by 1.5 turns?

Thanks for that. On the same basis should I drive until I run out of petrol or fill it when it gets low?!

Thank you very much- I thought I was losing the plot (not that I ever had it) Sorry to be a pain but do you know where I can find the procedure for greasing the wheel bearings? I’m not new to air cooled vws believe it or not but have never undertaken any work on wheels/steering myself previously Tha...

You can access a limited amount by removing the stereo I seem to remember

Hello- firstly apologies if this has been covered before- I have looked but couldn’t find anything. Secondly, apologies also if this is a daft question but are there any grease nipples or areas that require greasing on a 1980 type 25? I have a haynes manual and none are mentioned and have obviously ...

Hello Howard I will try to take a look later today- I have a 1980 but I don’t recall a heavy duty green wire from memory I’m afraid

Just a thought but have you checked the plastic ducting under the dash is connected to the screen vents? Mine came off at the "grille" end and is, obviously, an easy fix. Would be worth checking if you haven't already.

Hello - I have the same engine and the same issue when stood for a month or more - have you tried running it and taking roundabouts / turning in a car park sharply? I have been told to by my local VW garage and it does work - best not to over rev when the engine is making this noise and it's the hyd...

Yes definitely petrol - I was reading another post and will try fuel down the carbs

Just a thought - does anybody think it could be anything else other than dodgy filter or pump failure? Could it be stuck float or similar in the carb? I doubt it as it's twin carb but am struggling a bit - have changed filter and bypassed the cut off and still no joy - I have a spare electric pump o...

I will give that a go - do you think the filter could be faulty? I have another new filter I will also try - thanks for the responses
