Re: More Type 3 Parts For Sale
OK, there is definitely life in the dynamo. I put my meter onto it and gave the pulley a spin and I got a reading but I'm not sure how to test it properly.

Re: More Type 3 Parts For Sale
I have never used this dynamo but I will see if I can test it today and let you know. If it works £20 + postage.

Re: Fastback Filter Question
Yes, I can't see anywhere it would fit. It's far too small for the tank filler hose and too big for the overflow connection. It's about 4 years since I stripped the car down for the restoration but I have no memory of that part from then.

Fastback Filter Question
20240424_084941.jpg I'm slowly rebuilding my 72 fastback and I'm at the stage of fitting the petrol tank and all the hoses. Amongst the bits and pieces I found this small shuttlecock shaped filter. I haven't seen these parts for about 4 years and can't remember removing this filter and I can't see ...

Re: Type 3 Washer Bottle Hose Wanted
It`s just the Black Windscreen Washer Tubing used on Beetles, Type 3 etc. Cut to Length from a Roll. Usually cheaper on ebay than from Heritage VW and other suppliers. Yes it does stretch to that size to fit. Or are you missing the Plastic Nut as well ? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/232282624728 2 met...

Type 3 Washer Bottle Hose Wanted
Hi folks,
I'm looking for the washer bottle hose that fits onto the bottom of the washer bottle on my 72 fastback. It's the one with the nut that screws onto the bottom.
Cheers

Re: Wiring Diagram Type 3
Another issue I have related to the wiring is, my car has been fitted with an alternator so, no control box and it has electronic ignition so, I'm sure there will be redundant wires kicking round, which adds to the confusion.

Re: Wiring Diagram Type 3
The wiring in my car is a bit of a shambles (explosion in a spaghetti factory) and the wires shown on the wiring diagram are not always the same colour as the ones in my car. I was trying to get back to basics. Ignition to starter, how many cables, which colour and size Etc.

Re: Type 3 Thermostat Fitting
Going by the Haynes Manual procedure the thermostat should open to 46mm at 65-70c my one only opens to 42.2mm however the flaps are opening and closing, not as wide open or closed as they should be but I may just go with it as it is.

Re: Type 3 Thermostat Fitting
Yes, the flaps are totally free. The thermostat is fitted into the bracket OK with the bottom of the thermostat fitting into the semi-square hole in the bottom of the bracket. Any idea where I can find a copy of the set up procedure?

I have checked the thermostat and it appears to be working as it should i.e. filling the gap within the bracket when hot. My problem is that the moveme...

Re: Gasket Set
Hi, It's the engine gasket kit and it has all the gaskets numbered then the descriptions for each number listed below. It may have been someone from the Type 3&4 club or the Samba who created it. It's very handy when you don't require all the gaskets in the kit and where there are similar gaskets e....

Re: Main bearing question
Pressing the bearing into the casing isn't an issue. I can lay it in and move it back and forward about the same 1.8mm as the end float before I took the engine apart.
