Club 80-90 Forums

They are obsolete from VW and so (untill I can get some made) you'll have to post a wanted add in the Wanted Forum and hope a breaker has one available. Sorry, Ian. Not the news I wanted to hear but at least I know where I stand. Bit of a nightmare that I have a brand new engine with 95% new parts ...

Many thanks for the diagram Rob, the part in question is no 42 by the looks. Have you got the page that refers to that part number?

Ive got a split plastic house mount and I can't for the life of me find a replacement. The part in question is on right side of the pulley end of the engine. It mounts near the water flange and exhaust manifold and is a plastic elbow that bolts directly onto the block and is about 15cm long. It conn...

Where was I again?

So given it came with a 009 and Im assuming it was running on that what is my best option to put in there now if the WBX isn't good?

Can someone point me in the direction of a good place to pickup the required distrib?

while we are at it, where is "here"? put your location in your profile, someone maybe just up the road, who can help........ like CJ says, go look at your engine number, is it really a CU? There is no engine number just a spiral symbol and the letters CU. I've cleaned the area where it's ...

see now im wondering , you swapped the WBX dissy onto the CU .......... the wbx dissy isnt the same as the CU one i dont think, although the electronic ignition is, just the dissy isnt......someone with a better memory will be along soon...... awaits... :lol is it getting enough fuel, and are the c...

Actually it running well right until you try to drive it and there is little power there, even advanced a little it still runs with zero power. Yet it idles fine.

Any more gems of wisdom to fix this one?

I stand confused. The old WBX was electronic sorry but the CU is not. I'm gussing a straight swap of the electronic WBX to the CU is not going to happen? ---- Well to answer my own question it is a straight swap and the CU engine is running great now!!! I get the feeling that the engine I brought is...

why have you put olde worlde ignition on it? CU's are electronic ignition, there shouldnt be any points sounds to me like its timing way out from here......... Urm are you sure. I thought all the Aircooled where points?!? Certiantly thats what the block came with. Even the water cooled I replaced w...

Ok I've just installed a CU Aircooled dual carb in replacement of my water cooled and it's running bad, back firing all over the place and cutting out. I've converted it to electric fuel pump but other than that it's a standard CU with dual carbs etc. I've gapped the points and set a default timing ...

<welds U lock mount to engine and purchases 24 hour van surveillance/> :D :D U lock verses my plasma cutter, about 5 seonds...you've been saying you want a new engine anyway!! :D apart from throttle cable not being long enough, and the brake servo vac pipe being too long, and ofcoarse the alternato...

Ah ok that makes sense many thanks, I can stop panicking now

Any idea if there a pre-fab blanking plate for the pump anywhere save me having to make my own?

Ok well the first pit fall seems to be that the fuel pump on the 2.0 Aircooled is near the bottom right of the bell housing (rather than top middle on water cooled and my type 2) and so you can't join the block to the housing with it in place. Anyone know a fix for this? Am I going to have to grind ...

Hi, I've dropped out my near death water boxer and have my 2.0 Aircooled ready to lift in there. (Yes I know everyone will moan but I like Aircooled ;) its simple like me) I'm just wondering if there any any pit falls I need to know about before I start to save me time and money? Also if anyone has ...
