The tank's not that old it was replaced about 3-4 years ago before I owned it, its not rusted underneath or anything, looks in good shape.

I see a gromit on the diagram, perhaps that's missing or something.

I think powerhosing the crud from under the arches may have had a hand in i

Hi :D Think i've got some water in my petrol tank. Runs like crap. I attached a jerry can for a little temporary tank and it ran alot better. So I need the water out ! Any tried and tested methods for flushing out, I don't want to take the tank out if possible ! I don't think there's that much petro...

The old bus is running rougher than usual. Tryin to find out what it is at the mo. Tried the sucky thing on the vaccum towards the dizzy and i can suck and blow :oops: freely. Does that mean it's gone and i need..... http://www.brickwerks.co.uk/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=shop.fl...

My breathers are well gone, I can't fill the tank right up or it pours back out again over the top of the tank as well

Thanks !

Hi, The van runs on both gas and petrol, well sort of ! When on petrol, it'll go in 1st gear but when you change to 2nd it just looses power and stalls unless you ride it on the clutch, which isn't too good. Same if you give it a quickish rev, it'll loose power and go back to idle again. Any ideas ?...

The flappy thing seems springy enough whe I give it a poke

I was gonna try this: 18151 CARBURETTOR REPAIR KIT from gsf

Anyone used it, is it any good, what's in it !

Thanks

Have van running on gas at the moment and all was going well. On way back from Donegal over bank holiday it would almost feel like the accelerator pedal would be sticking slightly, cruise control almost. But I oiled and greased all the movey bits at the carb and under the floor and nothing was even ...

Give them a ring, there friendly enough. Tell them what kind of hinge is on it, could be a fit or maybe they got what your looking for.

Good luck

I've bought this, not fitted it yet tho. Might be of use to you and cheap enough.

You sure it's a fiamma roof vent you got ? I've got an 83 high top and replaced a ventline lid a while back, it was 360mm.

I managed to use a longer hose and sweep it away and back again to make the bend. Got a 2ft hose instead of a 6 inch one now !

Hi, I've had a few coolant hoses burst and split on me recently and am having trouble getting replacements from vw. Latest one to go is short with a tight bend in it, i'd have to run quite a long hose around a different way to get the bend without creasing the hose :? One end is bigger that the othe...

have a look at this, it's maybe under your dash

Thanks for replies !

New pump and rod coming today, hopefully get them in if the rain smegs off !

Cheers

could be worth a check on the vaccum diaphram on the dizzy! suck gently on the vac pipe and see if there is any resistance? if there is not this could foul up the vac advance and cause poor running! I've done this, I get no resistance I can suck and blow freely :oops: What's it for and problems wou...
