Will this do you any good? https://www.volkzbitz.com/

Now that there is a cost involved, how do we work this? Its to far out for me to know if I can be there or not.

Chances are it wont work exactly the same, but the difference will be so small you wont be able to tell.

Please someone help Peter. I've let him down as I can't get at my car at the moment!

Yeah thats the crankcase breather. A good rule of thumb, if VW thought it was worth fitting one. its important. As your engine gets hot, the gas an oil inside the crankcase expands, this causes high pressure and will force oil to leak out. That hose connected to the airfilter, the cars are sucking, ...

Thats great news! So happy we can help!

You are correct regarding the mixture change.

If you want to get adventurous, there is a further improvement you may need. Where are you now venting the crank case too?

If im not working, then ill be there. But I wont know for a few months yet.

Very much agree, upside down is the correct way up for OZ when viewed from here

One of these two diagrams should help you https://www.thesamba.com/vw/archives/info/wiring/type3_6870.jpg Key https://www.thesamba.com/vw/archives/info/wiring/type3_6870_key.jpg https://www.thesamba.com/vw/archives/info/wiring/type3_71.jpg Key https://www.thesamba.com/vw/archives/info/wiring/type3_7...

Glad to hear the running has improved, When you say you found out you cannot move the distributor, what do you mean? Yours is stuck? Because you can advance and retard it. It it sounds rather like your timing does need adjustment. Coil wise, you should have a green wire on the negative to the conden...

Luckily all the parts only fit one way round, the Emuulsion tubes become obvious once you see them.

Hopefully this helps. Let me know if you need any more help.

We would need to know a little more about it first. What heads, what crank throw, what bore, what carbs, what cam, what flywheel? A few basics. Find a rolling road and simply have the fundamentals checked and a power read out, then, if there are any issues they might be able to rejet, adjust carbs a...

Enjoy your trip! Have a merry christmas.

You're pretty close. But you change your current emultion tube with thr f6 tube, and the current air corrector jet with the 170. Sounds like you've got the right idea though. And yeah, it's not particularly hard to do, just a bit fiddly. Let's hope that company can help you out. We have a photo post...

It's inside the carburettor. All of those parts are. I will find you a diagram later. I buy my parts from euro carb. But that probably isn't much use to you on the other side ise of the world.

The tube you describe is the balance pipe, for future reference

Its a real easy fix, take all the jets and emultion tubes out and throw them in the bin. They are desgined for a beford CF van. Replace them with the following. It isnt the "right" answer. But it gets you somewhere close. You may need slighly bigger or small jets from these sizes. Depending on many ...

I was alluding to the fact that it got burnt out in the film, having seen that page too! Might be worth tracking down Dave mcdonald to see if He knows of it? His username was "BT Justice" Here & on Youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V_uARzbbzWQ I assume it was a dummy car, as the program is fr...

It looks like it was last taxted in 2002, then changed owners in 2003 Date of last V5C (logbook) issued 18 February 2003

Ive done a bit of googling, I assume you have too, found people talking about it on a film forum.

The reg rings a bell to me, but I cant think why.

Glad the forum is a great resource and helped solve a problem

Nice to get all caught up, that engine looks exciting!

Good to know the car continues!

Unfortuantely ill be at caffine and machine.

Very well done!

Good to see youre on the road after the medical issues! I hope youve got many miles in this summer
