Having intermittent break downs with my 2 litre Aircooled bus, thought it was the coil so changed, now it still breakes down with a backfire and wont start for a while only does it when engine been running for a while. Now been told by MAC VW the flamethrower coil I got from GSF is too powerfull. I am running on electronic stock ignition. I tried another Bosche coil from GSF and the van would not start. Any ideas about the flame thrower. Steve at Gasure recommended it. I know it could be Hall sensor or the ignition modual too.???????????????

Are you sure this is not fuel related.

I don't know not checked the tank yet, but surely it wouldn't back fire if fuel wasn't being let in.

Backfire has a number of reasons
Mainly due to fuel
Weak mixture is the biggest

Sold it. Had enough T4 or T5 next

Quitter

Like T4's never go wrong

Yeah but any garage can fix them. Most garages near me wont touch Aircooled. And yes im a quitter but with a pocket full of cash.

Lend us a fiver.
