I was going to ask you whether you had the ET23 or ET52 wheels, but you answered the question by more posts in the meantime The Teledials proved elusive until I found these at an independent Porsche dealership just South of Middlesborough. ....... with a bit of wangling at work I collected the Teled...

How are the spark plugs ?

Sounds like it could be an excessive gap on the plugs. Do you know if the points were checked prior to adjusting the timing ?

What was the final solution then - so we all learn ?

Tightened dizzy holding clamp tried to start no joy , will pop and fart but not run. Help please cheers Mawsy : Looks like you disturbed something when tightening. Have a look round if you could have disturbed a connection, otherwise, back to basics, use a spare plug and see if you still have a spa...

If it's still in the outbox then he hasn't read the message yet. Kembiff was leaving as I joined so I don't know him personally.

You'll need to see if any of the longer term members know him and can contact through other routes, I'm a newbie at 5 years

That'll be "Fudge" then.

Have you tried sending him a PM - even though he isn't on here these days he'll likely still get the notification.

You have mail

Pretty sure that you'll have to pay the first registration fee, but you don't need certificate of conformity as the car is over 10 years old. I suggest you read this thread and links http://www.vwtype3and4club.org.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=9951 I have identified the corresponding information in ...

I'll be a bit quicker than Wolfsburg

Send me a PM with details of the chassis number, what spec the vehicle is and approximate date you think it is and I will see what I can do. Let me have an email address as well so the PM system doesn't get clogged up.

If you get to the point where you need age verification for a number plate put another post on here - I have the ability to provide DVLA acceptable information, no fees

That's good news, thanks for the update as we all walked with you up the garden path

Bit of a Holy Batman ! thread resurrection going on here but I recently saw an episode of The Good Life from 10 August 1978 and there was a type 3 for just a few frames, so here's a screen grab

Dave,
Just had a look in the my own PHPBB forum;

Try Admin Control Panel > Manage Groups, you should be able to see who is in which

Hope that helps, even if it's not daytime

I can see how lacking a garage or patients would make it more difficult though

Do you do medical work too I might book myself in.

Seriously, how long did it take to fab that inner wing up - a full day and how thick is the steel you are using for replacement panels?

It's not too bad chacking the battery voltage on a type 4. Backrest forward and pull the height adjustment lever; that will allow the seat to tip backwards and stay there.

Regular routine for me as i disconnect the earth when the car is not in use. Saves the battery discharging because of the clock.

Good job you decided to get the old wrist refurbed

16-17 mpg on average over the last six months.

When I had a 412LE as a daily driver I only used to get 17-18 mpg (generally enthusiastic driving)

Good news on the MOT

I think you may be on the wrong forum, this is for Type 3 & 4 cars. You probably want a T25 forum. Yep, you should head over to club80-90 There isn't a 2.0 litre petrol watercooled engine for the T25, at least not as standard. You probably have a 1.9 litre DG engine which has 78hp. Easiest option w...

Quick thought - are the injectors properly sealed in the heads, no opportunities for air bypass ?

IIRC the blower fan and Eberspacher are independent. Type 4 engines / heat exchangers are nowhere near as good at transferring heat into the passenger compartment as the vertical engines.

Sounds good

If I recall correctly hunting is an indication of an air leak, most probably at the auxiliary air valve

ETKA says the VW part number is 311 905 295 C or B. Cross referencing to Bosch part numbers the C item is the one ending in 220. Fit the new components by all means, but I suggest that you keep the existing condenser - Editors view I seem to recall is that the old ones are much better than the moder...

Narrowed beam means the piece of string method won't work. Alternate method is a long straight edge forward from the wheels and chalk marks 4-6 feet from the wheels. Measure the track "outside to outside", then get a calculator if you are setting by angle and use trig, or set in mm and ratio for the...

Stabil sounds like an equivalent of what the Yanks use for fuel stability and elimination of varnish revenues in small engines "Sea Foam" is the brand. Be careful with octane boosters. You might think that a 1 point improvement would move the octane from say 95 to 96 RON. It doesn't, I used to use o...
