My VW Adventure: Gears arrived, now to fit everything back
http://vwbeetleadventure.blogspot.com/2008/11/gears-arrived-now-to-fit-everything.html
Sunday, November 30, 2008. Gears arrived, now to fit everything back. Gears came, had them fitted and the whole assembly was taped up, ready to be pressed in. You can see tack welds we've used to keep the snap ring in, don't want it coming off again, if needed the tack welds can be removed easily. After it was assembled, everything seemed to work properly, no pop-out, all was good (or so I thought). Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Message Board, leave comments, questions here.

My VW Adventure: Finally a jig
http://vwbeetleadventure.blogspot.com/2008/11/finally-jig.html
Sunday, November 30, 2008. To try and save on shipping weight, the sender ( Turborail. We also clearanced some of the splines along what was a transmission case, this would enable us to clamp the jig in a vice during use. I later attached 2 small pieces of foam so clamping wouldn't mar the case. Another picture below. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

My VW Adventure: Stumbling AGAIN (A/C related)
http://vwbeetleadventure.blogspot.com/2008/11/stumbling-again_29.html
Saturday, November 29, 2008. Stumbling AGAIN (A/C related). PMed Keifernet over at TheSamba ( http:/ www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/profile.php? He has experience with Gilmore A/C units. Although not recommended for normal carb tuning, he suggested I screw the fast idle screw in a turn to bring up the idle. I did that, and could now bring up the idle speed to the proper range (800-900RPMs). Maybe I'll try tweaking the idle advance next. If anyone has any tips on how to fix this problem, do let me know.

My VW Adventure: Fixing transmission leaks
http://vwbeetleadventure.blogspot.com/2008/11/fixing-transmission-leaks.html
Sunday, November 30, 2008. To try and fix transmission leaks. I've created a little checklist. This only pertains to swing-axle type transmissions, I don't have too much info on IRS, but I'd think they'd be very close, and possibly less prone to leakage. 1 Check and make sure the vent hole is open, the gasket that goes between the intermediate housing and nosecone might be blocking the vent hole. On our self-made gasket it was, I opened the hole and used a little sealant (Indian Head) on the gasket.

My VW Adventure: Summary
http://vwbeetleadventure.blogspot.com/2008/11/summary.html
Sunday, November 30, 2008. So this is what we've done. Fixed transmission pop-out problems, this required a 4th gear set. Fixed stumbling problems, still have a richness problem I'm trying to solve with the carb and A/C combination. New rear wheel oil seals. New rear axle boots. New shift coupler bushings. Quite alot of new things eh? Really piles up when the Beetle can run with a few broken bits, but when a problem occurs, lotsa bits to fix (since you're there already).

My VW Adventure: Everything back together
http://vwbeetleadventure.blogspot.com/2008/11/everything-back-together.html
Sunday, November 30, 2008. After resting for a bit, actually an entire day. I got back to reinstalling the engine. Engine went in after 15mins, hah, getting good at this, have all the angles figured out to clear the alternator nut and intake manifold heat riser. Attached everything back on, A/C bracket, compressor etc. Car was ready to be driven. It would be a good 3 days later, before the Beetle was driven 'properly' and 4th gear utilised. All good here.

My VW Adventure: Mwhahaha Look at this
http://vwbeetleadventure.blogspot.com/2009/04/mwhahaha-look-at-this.html
Sunday, April 12, 2009. Mwhahaha Look at this. Look at what I got, and am messing with the past couple of days. OO It's the throttle body from the German L-jetronic setup. Here's the rest of the parts porn. The ECU (more specifically this is the housing). Manifold and injectors mounted, I have to test these out the car somehow, figure it out later. Throttle cable linkage, there's a ball joint thingy on the throttle body that links to the right end. For some weird reason my ECU doesn't seem to have pin 20...

My VW Adventure: Pop-out, again...
http://vwbeetleadventure.blogspot.com/2008/11/pop-out-again.html
Sunday, November 30, 2008. After a few days working properly, the transmission decided to pop-out again. Was looking through some tranmission diagrams when it hit me, I had the spring washer that fits on the mainshaft bearing installed wrong. It's supposed to exert pressure against the snap ring and mainshaft bearing, n00b me (again). Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

My VW Adventure: Stumbling X2
http://vwbeetleadventure.blogspot.com/2008/11/stumbling-x2.html
Saturday, November 29, 2008. Ok, now we tried a full tune up, checked valve lash when cold, and re-adjusted as necessary, had to get new valve cover gaskets, old ones were disintegrating inside, PO had sealant all over to try and stop the leak, not fun trying to remove all of that, not cool also if the sealant came out and plugged up an oil passage inside the engine. New fuel hoses were also installed. Everything from under the fuel tank to the rear was now new. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). If you...

My VW Adventure: 3.875 R&P?
http://vwbeetleadventure.blogspot.com/2009/03/3875-r_01.html
Sunday, March 1, 2009. Been awhile since I've updated, busy with personal stuff. (Has to do with an 'arcade cab' I found at a dumpster, took me awhile to fix the broken monitor and sound.). I managed to find a source of transaxles here locally. This is after a 300ishKM drive up to USJ in Malaysia to get one though. Now if it was a 5 speed. BTW you sand rail guys really should check out this blog. Http:/ www.turborail.blogspot.com. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Http:/ www.pixelatedbeetle.blo...Http:...
