Club 80-90 Forums

Hello, In France and Germany, and probably elsewhere in Europe, the tyre regulations are being 'stiffened up'. From November to March winter tyres and snow tyres/ chains are mandatory from this year in 22 departments.. (the ones with snow :wink: ) My young VW T3 friend who is a MOT tester, says that...

Hello,

Glad to see you are making progress...

Hello, Here are your timing marks: Cage and turbine. https://i.imgur.com/8dVUT7f.jpg I take it you are running the original ignition system, but by your post, the 2nd vacuum pipe is disconnected from the dizzy. There is not much to go wrong with the Pict 34/4 carburettor. Check all pipes and flexibl...

Hello, We have  '80 and '82 CT's, both fitted with optional servo from new. Does this mean that the vacuum feed pipe from the left hand side inlet manifold is blanked, or not there... :?: Some photos would help. A servo type master cylinder and servo are all available, the most fiddly bit would be t...

Hello, My 2 euro-cents worth... :wink: When I am at a camping municipale in Winter, I use a (still available) fan heater from Lidl, about 25 €. I have a mains disjoncteur at 16 amperes. It will operate at 1000 watts, so ok on old 6 ampere outlets (rare) It will operate on auto at up to 2000 watts, s...

Hello,

May I suggest you look at the clip-on plastic badges on the tailgate. I had this problem, removed the badges and filled.

Perhaps silicone mastic would give the same result...

Hello, From your post these are the same problems you had 2 years ago... :wink: The engine should start easily even if it is disconnected from the fuel supply and run for a minute or so before draining the fuel bowls. Remove the air cleaners and observe a squirt of petrol from the accelerator jet wh...

Hello, Aaah..some Air-Cooled fun.. :wink: Although you want to this job in-situ, here is a video that goes into some detail on the fitting of the push rod tubes: h4dyMVu_8oc Do you have the wongly spring that holds the pushrods in place?? These must be in good condition and fitted correctly to stop ...

Hello,

From personal experience....Paul at Vantopia.com...

Did my custom CT box...

Cordialement,

Hello, Aaah....air cooled heaters.... :wink: OK, so the really important one is the middle. This pulls and pushes the stiff wires from the dash to the front end of the heat echangers. Make sure that the wires and swivelly things are all working. Make sure the flexy hoses are in place. You can do thi...

Hello,

As I thought, the 2L throttle cable has been cut down to fit the CT front plate.

The cable normally ends in a long lug to make attaching/regulating easy.

Cordialement.

Hello,

Ooh the joy of twin Pdsit's....

My guess it is the right hand side one....

This may help:



Cordialement,

     I thought it was the larger wheels, Wow...you are asking a lot... I run a modified CT (1.7 @ 65bhp) and am going to fit a custom box bought from Vantopia to get a lower 1st with higher 3rd and 4th. All the calculations are based on using  185 R 14 C tyres on steel rims.....like it says in the ...

Hello,

So you have got a long legged DK box with hydraulic clutch...

Take a photo please of the throttle cable where it arrives through the tinware to the single carb.
