Is that a fairly common problem? Also, any idea which Weber I should go for? I can't check it as I abandoned it near Lyme Regis yesterday outside a garage who said they'd look at it when they get round to it :( If its non-injection and a Pierburg carb that's likely the problem. Swap it for a Weber.

Hi all, Just looking for some help on my old Polo Coupe S: It's cutting out / running on 3 when it reaches a decent operating temperature, particularly on a constant throttle. It feels like it may be fuel starvation or something similar (it has a fuel filter fitted, clean) but does anyone have any e...

Hmm, van flambe........ would save money in the long run

I ask as I tested an area under a wheel arch using the pressure can & pump and the stuff still hasn't dried. Should I use a heat gun or something?

Cool, don't forget photos!

So, having taken the instrument thingummy off (no sign of any circuit board, so I assume no buzzer) before the journey to work, I set off and waited until the noise started. Sure enough after a while the buzzing started so I waggled the speedo cable about a bit, gave the dial a smack or two, that so...

Okay, thanks for all the help guys, I shall try and analyse what's going on when it happens. One thing that hasn't been mentioned is the speedo when it happens. The bussing seems to come from behind the speedo, is that right? Also, the speedo itself seems to bounce about a bit when the buzzing occur...
