On the subject - what about fuel cutoff solenoids? Has anyone experience of using them? I was thinking it could be fairly easy to jump one off the coil +ve so that it was only open when the ignition was on, and shut off when the ignition was off. Does such a thing exist and/ or sounds...

Ditto mine - in fact less than 150 in my case. I strongly suspect there is a bad batch doing the rounds...

Washed the van - attracted some unwanted attention from the Police...

new fuel pump fitted - running nicely. oil level noted - watch this space! How to get rid of a load of oil with petrol in it - and THIS FAR from bonfire night too!!!

If it's anything to go by, that's the type I've gone for, yes, (only from VW Heritage where they are a bit cheaper.)

I'm having this exact issue at the moment: http://forum.earlybay.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=71056" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; My carbs seemed OK, next stop Fuel pump - new one on its way...

Noted - thanks for that, very helpful dude, as always! Have ordered a 'top quality replacement' rebuildable one. Not one made in a certain South American shortly to be Olympic state. Which is what my current one is/ was. In its defence there does appear to be a drain hole in the lower...

Will check that, cheers! Have just done the carbs in case the floats were sticking, all seemed fine. New fuel pump, or are the diaphragm bits available separately? Bearing in mind its only 150 miles old....

Getting closer - re-checked the oil, which I had thought was only down to a tiny drop - very carefully - turns out it was brim full right up to the very top of the dispstick - hence couldnt see a 'line' Reason? - oil was full - brim full - of PETROL! So - oil full of petrol - sticking carb...

Thanks - yep, all over the RHS of the engine bay... Level was fine when it was parked (i know cos it was just back from a tune-up!) - and wasn't topped up until I moved it. My worry is that it seems to have vomited the entire contents , down to near zero! Will check out pressure valve... - Ta!

Brilliant info and epic material!!

Rats. Have worked out total distance since rebuild is certainly less than 120 miles and MAY even be sub-100... :suicide:

Here we (don't) go... [/url] [/img]

Will see what I've got - it wasn't overfilled, and had driven it about 20 miles absolutely fine before I parked it for ~6 weeks... After 'the event' the Oil light came on ( obviosuly wasn't on previously), and there was just enough to wet the end of the dipstick... Will post pics soon when...

Hi all, well, new one on me. I have a newly rebuilt engine in my van - well, built about a year ago but less than 150 miles since. Anyway, van has been parked a while, whilst I did some interior work, but I put a battery on it to move it yesterday afternoon - all was well - apart from I...

Old-sih thread, but I remembered it when I came across this... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-T2-BAY-DORMOBILE-CAMPER-BUNK-BED-INTERIOR-/401123452077?hash=item5d64d224ad:g:Q1AAAOSwGW9XPekW" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

You might be able to tuck the carpet behind the wondow seals... I was replacing all my wondow seals anyway so popped them out before it was carpeted (and drove it over on a fine day!)

I had mine done is stretchy carpet from Rob at Van Wizard near where I live in Belper (Derbys). Looks lovely. The one bit we struggled with was the 'dip' (when viewed from inside) between the two glass windows, so we cut some board to fill that gap and smoothed it over - it was too much of a...

I also understand that unleaded burns fractionally hotter then leaded used to, so engine temps may be a bit higher than they were first designed to be, for prolonged periods...
