Cheers all.

MOT is on Sat morning, so crossing everything.

I am thinking that if it is running ok a trip to Gassure might be beneficial?

I have just re-fitted my engine which I have rebuilt over the winter. (2.0 litre CU air-cooled - Automatic trans) Engine fires up and runs but it is idling really fast. If I time it as per book (5° atdc) the idle comes down but it runs really bad (flat, no pick up/power). It runs ok with the idle hi...

Would be great if someone could recommend me an engine machine shop! Currently got my engine dismantled and want to get the big ends and mains reground. (2.0 litre Aircooled "CU" code) Not having a lot of luck with local engine shops. Getting a lot of "Oooh havent done one of them in ...

Hi All Am in the middle of striping and rebuilding my engine. (2.0 litre Aircooled, CU engine code) Got the case split at the weekend and the small white(ish) spacers that clip over the long engine case through bolts (on the inside of the case) have all cracked so am on the hunt for new ones. Does a...

I haven't to be honest. I'll get the WD40 out tommoz. Gut feeling says its worse than that tho

Mine clunks from D to R and vice versa. (81 Aircooled auto)

Always has done, even after AT fluid change. I just live with it to be honest.

BUT what's the small one on the bottom with a cut off piece of tube left on and where does it go??

Mine is the same, I believe it is just a breather of some sort

One thing I wished I had done when I changed the ATF was measure how much came out when I drained it ! Its a good reference point of how much fresh ATF to put back in (assumes correct amount of ATF in there in first place tho!!!) Especially as checking the level is quite invovled and tricky to get r...

I used Dexron II ATF from GSF in mine, but it is an early air cooled so your WBX might be different As for the final drive, I used EP 90 Gear oil. Dont think it matters if its GL4 or GL5 as its only a final drive. The distinction between GL4 and GL5 is only an issue in manual boxes. If your changing...

Ok - so ive dropped the fluid again ( for the sake of £15) Refilled with new Dexron II Same problem - Start van, engine revs gradually increase until engine is racing (about 2500 revs {est}). Returns to normal idle after 30-45 secs Its not the accelerator cable cos ive stood round the back and made ...

Great if you have kids

1981 Aircooled Automatic Changed automatic trans fluid and final drive oil in prep for long journey to Devon in a couple of weeks Since doing this though, whenever the van has been stood for as little as 10 mins, the engine races like mad on starting up for about 30-45 secs. Really disconcerting can...

Some sheets of cork gasket coming from Frost

Fingers crossed and all that!
