Id like to be a part of this, but I cant be sure the car will be done and it falls on the other halfs birthday every bloody year and this years an important one!

I assume the car is stock? and a type 3 sqaureback? If that's the case then the dimensional info is in a Bentley manual IIRC. Ive got one at home which I can check tomorrow night unless someone beats me too it.

They arent huge jobs, easily manageable withing a few weekends. Plenty of time to be ready for summer, Id still go for a jet wash though, salt is a real killer, its nibbled at one or two of my poor cars in the past and made me lots of work. Glad shes straight and true now, ive got a 944 and know how...

lovely job, jet wash the salt out the arches quick and your all set for summer

That looks like a wonderful early square, peaceful on a sunny day sort of situation

Cant help you in that neck of the woods unfortunately. But regards the carbs, this is posted in the service section. I don't know if its still current.

I have never used them so I don't know the standard of work. I tend to do my own.

oh dear, so its none of us herbets then

Did you all miss the forum this morning?

If its just the carbs is it worth just removing them and having them overhauled? I expect that's all a garage will end up doing if that is the issue.

At least that way youll have them sorted and safe, giving you the option to drive further away if you decide it still wants more attention

They do say that two shorter sleeps a day are better than one prolonged sleep. I experimented with such at uni. Sleeping 1800-2000 0100-0800. I always felt more awake and productive. Whether it actually worked I didn't look into it that hard. Much harder to achieve working full time. Though I have m...

Or if you wanted to get more technical, something like this. https://xdnbug.ch.files.1drv.com/y4mPUWvfoTMcpnqCYM6f-Pl1aDSNsnlJ4gusNku_kCneViNQmqUzY3Jsf2zKE-MCuU8i3hb-_G1O455YAhydJnoS5TRqAnIIy_VggEfqM4chh-BBunzQ72lDDDSidplkRDP8ogJ943xrGyJt3ZB4YM40NIzIS71b7uKY396DMeKM_JNwi2e8LrGwl3ek8MoadwbYdDrUosV2eB...

will we ever find out any more?

That isn't too painful in the end, at least it was all started and finished in one day! How happy would you be to drag yourself down there today?

And its all gone in with minimal mods, looks like you done well there. How was the test drive?

]Very kind of you! Lets try and bring this nonsense up to date then. I started welding the panel in and trimming sections as I went. https://nylghw.ch.files.1drv.com/y4m0i9ryPjeHFSOy12VHrvo6Hx3Y1bDLKnxndJwxzjZLwkgc-QTH_uYm697jck62wvH8NgADx39DFmxcqSvqYZJP9qZx1STdjrF5c_wF4g3rrecXiIaAusDMgRwF4iMBM16Wpt...

I think you could easily make something from some threaded bar, washers, nuts and tube

Split hose or holed tank?

3 hours is a long time to get that off, what was stuck?

Now these cards do not work out of the box. They never will. They originally fitted a bedford CF van. Someone many years ago took one of the CF van carbs and got Chinese company to copy it. Unfortunately they copied exactly with the same jets and tubes in. That is what gets supplied today to VW own...

ah, i knew his thread had been moved there. but as i cant get in I couldnt see how id posted :D I looked in here for how to sign up. http://www.vwtype3and4club.org.uk/forum/viewforum.php?f=34 But couldnt find anything. Ive since found this http://www.vwtype3and4club.org.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=...

How have I managed to post in the members section?

I don't ever recall being a signed up member. But I think its about time I was. How do I do it?

Im also assuming your running a stockish 1600?

No bother, still hacks me off the major players are still selling like that, its been years now!

Now then, what jets are you running?
Main
Idle
Air correction
Emulsion tubes?

Why did you put webers 34s on? they arent really a very good carb for these engines to be honest.

These are things ill be excited about next year. this year i want to get it finished to a respectable standard and shaken down. ready for my 10th year of ownership

I'm very much heading towards not bothering with these. I can see them as more of a rust trap that anything. I think ill just gaffer tape a pillow to the steering wheel
