71 Auto won't start
Hi. I still can't get my bug going. The coil seems to be getting power
when I chuck the voltmeter on it, and so does the auto shift from the
coil. I have tried putting in a coil from another car and...

71 Auto won't start
Hi guys. I thought someone may have a quick answer to this before I
test everything. Me and my son were sticking some spotlights on my 71
semi auto, 1302s. All was good until i went to start the...

Auto don't engage so well
Thanks. I haven't stuck a voltmeter on it yet but the light seems to be
steady on. Thanks for your advice. I'll give it a go in the weekend.

Auto don't engage so well
I am pretty dumb, but it felt like the brakes were stuck on because,
well, the brakes were stuck on. I had to rekit out the rear wheel
cyclinders cause there was a small leak and the brakes were...

Thanks. I'll try the adjustment.
There is heaps of oil in the tranny. Previously overfilled so I guess I
should drain that.
Thanks

Auto don't engage so well
Hi All
I have a 71 auto 1302s which has trouble when I first take off. It sort
of feels like the brake is on and then after a few trial revs it slowly
grabs and I take off. Any ideas what that is? Is...

Fuel Smell
That's a good idea, presurising the system for leaks. What sort of
pressure(psi) should be used?

Am I missing something on this generator?
Thanks for that Robert. I go to a metal work nightclass occassionally
so maybe I'll try and turn a spacer on the lathe. I think the shaft is
a bit long, about 5ml? I dropped a plumb line from where...

Hi
Thought I would start a new thread since I got the nut of the generator
shaft. Doesn't look like the pulley is sitting in the right spot on the
shaft and I'm not sure why as it looks like all the...

Generator Shaft not locked to pulley - can't undo.
Thanks for that. Think I'll give the back nut a go if I can find a
socket that big!
I guess if i have to resort to sawing I might as well pull the
generator out and try vice gripping the thread first...

Generator Shaft not locked to pulley - can't undo.
Hi all. New to this group and VW's. Just picked up an 71 1302s 1600
auto a couple of weeks ago and it didn't have a generator pulley, so I
stuck one on to get me the 2 hours drive home. I noticed at...
