Ok It is that time again to ask for advice from you guys, If you have a look in the picture you can see a fat brother..... But also a freshly removed engine. However on the right hand side of the picture it can be seen that the pipe to the heat exchanger is not fitted (black pipe coming over and down), there is no slot for it like on the left. Any light that can be shed on this would be very helpful. Also if i was to buy a new exhaust has anyone got any recommendations to fit the needs shown???
Also, For you guys who opt for an exhaust like so :- http://www.vwheritage.com/vw_spares_Exhaust-TQP-T2-4-1-7-2-0-EMPI_act_shop.product_pID_52674_lang_EN_country_GB.htm How do you heat your bus?? stop windows steaming up??? etc?? Advice please :-
Hard to see from the pic what kind of exhaust you've got, but it looks standard-ish. there should be a pipe from the exhaust on the right, which connects to the black pipe (which is for the manifold preheat). Fitting a replacement stock exhaust should sort it. Heating? Have a search on here. When it's sorted, the standard heating works well. PS Lose the chrome air filter ...
Ah, Its a T1 system on a T2... Grrrr Thanks though..... Whats wrong with Chrome?? ??? As to the other question.... what do you guys do if you chose not to use the standard heating etc. as stainless systems dont seem ti have the connection points ?? hmmm :-
You've got a type 1 (Beetle) engine, so even a Beetle exhaust should work. A standard Ernst T2 system will work. The heating system uses the snail-shaped heat exchangers to generate heat. Yours aren't connected. You should have have two flex pipes joining the spouty-looking black outlets from the fan shroud to the "pods" on the exhaust. The single carb arrangement on a type 1 engine is prone to manifold icing. Fitting a chrome air filter (which does absolutely nothing to improve the performance of your engine) means you've no warm air pickup from around the exhaust. You've also got nowhere for the crankcase fumes to go to, which you would have with a standard air filter. You're currently venting crankcase fumes from the little filter next to your oil filler. If you do get the heating working, it'll stink, as the fan will suck in oily engine fumes.
Hmmmm, Thanks for the advice, you can tell i am new to this. The reason the engine is coming out is for a replacement one. Stlll a 1.6 but twin with twin webbers also. Hoping to get a little more performance but still stay true. The twin webber doesnt have a standard filter either, hoping this doesnt have any detrimental effects. I have a ordered a new exhaust form heritage, and the pipes are on their way to fit the fan housing to the heat exchangers. Any other advice you may have would be awesome. Especially for the oil pipe hose vent (where does it go to if not just a little filter. Any pics would be very helpful) Here is a picture of the new engine :-
Hi, that looks like a weber progressive carb on the new engine not twin carbs, the vent from the oil stand/filler neck should connect to a pipe on the lower part of the weber carb air filter. Hope it all goes ok Ben
I think you are right. It is a progressive webber. I will look for a pipe and connect it. Thanks for all your help ^-^
You may need to extend the linkage on the carb and pedal end to get full throttle with the carb, worth it though, I really liked the webber prog carb I had (prior to twin 34s) and it never had any icing or other problems.
