Problem 2 in France. ..

Discussion in 'Mech Tech' started by SeanOC, Aug 9, 2015.

  1. It might do En France. We only have E5 fuel in the UK, but the French 95 is E10.

    Coil PN is 043-905-115/C - but pretty much any 12V coil for a points ignition system will work with Accuspark.

    What's up with the starter?

  5. At great expense they are fitting a new coil. And living in hope that cures the issue

    Irritated about the cost but just par for the course of not paying the extra 40 for parts and labour insurance. Still I will know better next time.
    Hopefully done this afternoon then back to smiles per mile
     
  6. Have you cleaned/replaced the dizzy cap too?
    Might have missed it.

  8. Decided (rightly) not to rely on the delivery of spare parts so jumped into the AA hire car (No. 2), a VW UP!

    And decided to take the french approach

  10. "IT" at the moment i suppose !!
    Glad all seems good and you`re not stressing over things , the French approach is very under rated in my opinion .

    The coil seems to have fixed it!
    For those who worry about Progressive carbs icing I drove to almost 700m with no problems. .. The sign says 740m to the top that was just above us
