Re: 2.1 DJ won't fire up after head rebuilds

I think continuous spray is wrong. I recorded a video in slow mo and could see it pulsing. It runs batched injection. If it sprays continuously then I would say that's a sign of the Digijet ECU being fried. The same used to happen on Digifant golf GTIs and it fills up the cylinders until they lock ...

Re: 2.1 DJ won't fire up after head rebuilds

Continous spray is correct. Try a squirt of Easystart to see if it fires. A quick spray via the rubber trunk after throttle body. Three things spring to mind: Hall sender faulty. ECU faulty. Does it prime fuel on turning key for half a second? If no, follow Bentley ECU test procedure ISU Idle Stabil...

Re: Resistor search. NON VW

Great stuff and many thanks to both. The top one at 0.25W but on 100k ohms will match. As the current resistor in my Dimplex heater has no continuity l assume it is dead? And the illumination bulb is toast as well, then? This failure coincides with a recent local power cut. So l reckon change the re...

Resistor search. NON VW

Looking for a replacement four band resistor. Brown/black/yellow/gold is 100K ohms. But how do l determine wattage? I've seen this four band resistor in 1/4 watts up to 4 watts and not sure which one to purchase. This is for the thermostat on/off switch illuminating the tell-tale bulb in an old 240v...

Re: Chicken Switch Question

Courtesy of Itchyfeet... but for late wiring petrol vans only, l believe. I followed this link fitting one to my 89 camper. Dead easy. Fitted mainly to combat the chaotic and slow traffic in the south east and we use The Blackwall Tunnel and Dartford Crossing regularly. Plus we tow a caravan. https:...

Re: Moped Racks for VW T25 Campers

Btw, most of my off-road 200-250cc race bikes
weighed in around 120kgs. That's a 'lumpy' moped at 115kgs.

Re: Moped Racks for VW T25 Campers

Thanks. I spoke to Dave Cooper. He has a solution, no problem. I need to have a flange tow bar fitted though, & that's proving difficult. A couple of places have told me they cant fit/dont make them for T25s. Do you know if that is true? Not sure. What is a flange tow bar? And what type/make of...

Re: Moped Racks for VW T25 Campers

Motorbike Racks (davecooper.co.uk) I used one from here for yrs, Trail bikes, Trial bikes and even a little PW for my lad. I had to adapt the 'slots' where the wheels went depending on how big they were, only disadvantage I found was lifting the bike on and off if I was on my own as you put the fro...

I believe nose weight is maximum 75 Kilos.
Unless you intend to modify and strengthen l suggest a smaller trailer. Or front wheel off and pop it inside.

Re: Timing For E5 And E10 Petrol DJ2.1 Engine Query

Just back from a four night trip to Eastbourne. No caravan this time. Bliss! Before setting off l put timing at 5° and used E10 over the 450 miles covered. Averaging around 21mpg of mixed driving conditions, often in rainy and windy headwinds. However, on the return home we visited someone in Fincha...
