Just search ba4 eber manual n should bring it up

I've gone with tightening n now have another years ticket. Plus a brucie bonus of finding out some intere info this week which has resulted in Barb being reclassified as historic vehicle

I've used google translate for a few german things lately and it's good enough to give you the gist to understand it

See, if I had the money and time. I'd want a tdi scooby in mine.

How did it go? I have one side that needs doing. Was thinking of just tightening it up. But if you found it smooth enough to replace, I think that'd be the better route.

The 412.... She is all mine I lent her out last year when they were filming. My fella won't take me to the pictures coz he knows I won't be able to help myself but shout n point

Hang on, you didn't mention coming up any other time before the set dates to me?! I've just read back through this thread and it quite specifically sets a date and time. No I haven't come up at other set weekends as at that point the sills were promised to someone else. I was chuffed to of finally "...

I was under the impression of being promised the pair of 411 sills since November, however someone who can get there Saturday has pipped me to the post as I originally couldn't get there until Sunday this weekend. If by some chance they don't get picked up(yeh I know it's a long shot! :roll: ), is t...

Might have to come in his Golf then

I'm deffo going to be along Sunday. Will be in Barb if it's warm. Also, I don't suppose you know if there's a lot of steep hills from the south coast to Bath? Clutch is still slipping . In the bf's golf with a trailer if not

Don't know if it's of any help.....
But, I had a return spring go on Barb. I've replaced it with one from elctrotrade that is intended as a furniture spring and it works lovely. Bit fiddly to fit, but was still able to get it in there.

Just thought I'd offer the idea as I had similar probs on a beetle and was scratching my head till changing that bit ( coz I have no idea otherwise )

Keep posting

idle control whatsit? (the little gold cylinder thing on the carb bottom middle left)

Like that
Hullo btw

I've been thinkig of doing this so Barb might be there

Shall I resend the list of what I'd like?

Evening, I'm pleased to say I didn't need the cable after all. In daylight the problem was obvious and an easy fix. The return spring on one of the carbs had broken. Who'd of thought that would sound so expensive when it went huh

Thanks Shawn. I think mines stuck in the channel underneath somewhere, my guess is it's got a little caught or something when the engine was out. Fine at carb n pedal end, but stuck n revving the nuts off

Which cable is it for a 73 412 please? Can't see anything listed on the parts compatibility list. Thanks in advance

It's a a bit Marmite. I can't quite decide
Good to see another one back all the same

I forgot to mention the exhaust. It's not a stock exhaust. I can't tell you what sort it is, but I can get a pic if it helps?

I'm not knowledgable, just need to get that out the way...... Barb('73 412ls running 1.8 a/c) is running stock solex twin carbs and a vacum dizzy. She runs beautifully like that and will cruise at a ton quite happily (on my private roads of course). She pulls away and drives through the gears nicely...

Thanks for the heads up. The old seized calliper I took off last year is now sitting in a special bath to de-crud it ready for being re-built

Did you get my pm list Peter?
