Great work, don't suppose you would be able to lighten another ABF flywheel.

Macc the Scirocco Haynes manual gives a good write up on the roof.

Re: Leak after fitting new filler neck

Hi Mark
The problem with worm screw jubilee type clamps they never equally compress the hose your clamping on especially thin steel.
I take it that's the type you are using if so.
What I would use is either wire or the band type that have a proper nut and bolt they compress equally around the hose ...

Re: Leak after fitting new filler neck

Hi
The filler neck although metal is quite flimsy and easy to distort if you over tighten the jubilee clips. A better idea would be to use the metal wire type not jubilee clips.
Was the rubber connecting pipe a genuine part as I have had 2 off ebay and one was a nice tight fit the over was lose ...

Re: Ian Croucher - ianaudia4

I never got to meet Ian,
But last March I drove to his parents to collect a front bumper for my mk2, It was a fare distance but worth while because I got to meet a wonderful couple who made me and my wife very welcome with a cup of tea.
Unfortunately due to his work we did not get to meet Ian that ...

Re: Fuel Tank Pipe Bore Size

Hi Mark
If you are considering making the filler pipe then I recon it may be worth looking into using 1 5/8 pipe which is 41.27mm diameter for the lower 45 90 45 degree sections. then adaptor to 57mm for the filler neck with a 16mm diameter tube just bellow the neck.
I made mine out of 38mm but the ...

Re: Fuel Tank Pipe Bore Size

Tank inlet is
internal 38.66mm
External 40.20mm
Flange 42.10mm
The lower section of the fuel filler pipe is the same diameter of the tank inlet.
I have found you can use 38mm stainless exhaust pipe the link hose will grip the pipe but it is worth while running a step weld around the edge of the ...

Re: Rear Brakes stripdown - worth replacing drums?

Hi
The outer bearings are easily to change with a drift and I wouldn't bother putting them in the freezer.
But if you have trouble with them and can get to Basingstoke I have a hydraulic press at work and could do them one day in the week if you wanted to collect in the evening.

Re: Manual Choke 'Pulling(?)' Itself Back In

Check the vacuum linkage to choke Flap stop it may be a case the stop screw has gone out of adjustment so when you accelerate the vacuum is opening the flap more than 3.5mm or the stop screw between throttle lever and choke cam is out of adjustment.
Look from the passenger side and check all cables ...

Re: Oil change

If you don't want to use syntax silver any VW 501 01, VW 505 00 approved 10W 40 semi synthetic don't bother using a fully synthetic 5w 30 oil it will probably leak more, burn off quicker and run a lot noisier.
I have always used Mobil Super 2000 X1 or magnatec 10w 40 semi

Also I have a brand ...
