Hi, CU engine twin solex carbs Starts fine when engine is cold but not so good at starting when warm. Looked in top of carbs after engine run for 5 mins and one was dry but with wisps of smoke and the other was dripping petrol into the bottom of the carb. Any advice? i am not mechanically minded tho...

oh the oil filter btw was the one from JK for a 2lt Aircooled CU engine

Thanks for the reply. What i am thinking of doing is delaying my holiday until i can get hold of a new seal and repalacing it. So is it an o-ring that i need with the size being 77x4 ? I was thinking of taking the old seal to GSF tomorrow and seeing if they had one. Other than that what is your opin...

Hi, does anyone know any vw camper specialists that might be open today (sunday). Would be preferable in north of engalnd but anywhere that could give advice would be good.
thanks

The plate at the back is the oil strainer cover. that other one is a mystery to me as it's not listed in vag cat. The plate (Cover with 2 bolts) is the Oil Pressure relief valve, there should not be any oil leakage from here, as said before garage, or who ever has mistakenly undone or removed by mi...

Yes i rang just kampers yesterday to see if i could buy a gasket for it but they had no idea what i was either. I dont have a rev counter so i am not sure how i can compare the oil pressure with the revs when driving. Would you think that 1 drip of oil every 15mins is a problem if i was wanting to t...

yes it does have a spin on oil filter like a canister which was replaced about a month ago with a new one from just Kampers. This leak does seem to have started since i had the oil change but cant see any leaks around sump or filter.

Sorry not very good at engine stuff. Its a 2lt Aircooled CU engine in a 1981 T25 Westfalia Joker.

thanks

Oh sorry meant to say that the one that is leaking is the one closest to the camera with 2 bolts in it

thanks

Hi, Hoping someone can help me identify the part where my oil is leaking from, what sort of job it is to fix and whether a drip every 15 minutes when engine is cold constitutes a problem as i am hoping to go on holiday tomorrow. the oil is dripping from underneath the engine from a round circular pl...

Hi,

My battery charger wasnt working either when plugged into mains hookup. I unscrewed the 4 screws which hold the black plastic cover on and found that the fuse had blown? Works fine now i have replaced the fuse (replaced with 2A radio fuse).

The dual pipe thing which i was considering connecting it up to could possibly left over from an old porsche engine which was in before i purchased the van. There is also a fan inside the pipes which are not connected. Sorry this may sound a bit thick. But i am trying to learn!! Trying to do a bit o...

So it may be beter to just leave it if it wont improve the running of the engine? I thought if it wasnt connected up it may cause the engine to become hot.

thanks

Hi, this photo is taken from the back of the bus. It shows the offending pipe on the right hand side passing over the altenator.

Hope this picture is ok. Much better than the description anyway :) <a href="http://s589.photobucket.com/albums/ss338/allisonfirth/?action=view&current=phpECqHxrAM.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i589.photobucket.com/albums/ss338/allisonfirth/phpECqHxrAM.jpg" ...
