Re: t25 running lumpy / kangaroo
that sounds similar to the problem I had. I pretty much changed everything and lastly the Distributor. Have you checked for any electrical leaks? you may see them by looking at the engine in the dark with the engine running. You could have a cracked distributor cap or dodgy ignition leads.

Re: t25 running lumpy / kangaroo
I had a similar problem and it was the Hall Sender in the Distributor.
Can you tell if it's electrical or mechanical/Fuel problem? If it's electrical, switching the engine off and on again might solve the problem temporarily. Then that might point to a dodgy distributor.

Re: Don't these vans drive you nuts?
I've owned my van for 13 years now. Over the last 6 or 7 years I've had to spend a couple of hundred pounds a year repairing and replacing things, like the suspension parts and exhaust and earlier this year, I repainted the whole van with a roller using Cellulose for about £50.. bargain! I did take ...

Gearbox Tool VW 381/14 anyone?
Hello lovely T25 people, Just on the off chance, does anyone have this tool available to borrow for a Month? I am having problems with my second gearbox now, it is not going into reverse. The original one from my Van is in bits and most likely needs the 3rd gear hub but I cannot access the insides, ...

Re: Manifold Heater problem. 1.9 WBX early
I've already checked many things and found the voltage drop coming from the relay in the black box. The relay that triggers the Manifold Pre-Heater. Then I disconnected the Pre-Heater directly and that solved my problems. When I connect the Pre-Heater directly to a live, it makes a spark and voltage...

Re: Done a whoopsie. Help needed in London!
btw, I had to replace all of the Hydraulic Tappets and that seemed to resolve my engine woes. Amazing how much difference a new set of tappets make and they are not that difficult to replace or that expensive. My Push rod tube covers are holding up for now. Tip: DO NOT use synthetic engine oil think...

Re: Manifold Heater problem. 1.9 WBX early
Hello, The voltage drops to below 8 volts and it is coming from the main cable. So far I have found it seems to be coming from the Manifold pre-heater pad that is screwed to the underneath of the manifold. When I connect a live to it, the voltage drops like crazy and there is a spark from the connec...

Re: Manifold Heater problem. 1.9 WBX early
Or I suppose that relay could also supply power to other things, like the auto-choke possibly. So I will just disconnect the Pre-Heater only.
