Jeff <BR> <BR>I had the same problems on my ADY Sharan. Eventually, It just died. Wouldn't start on petrol or gas. <BR> <BR>AA were called out, by the time the very nice man located me deep in Snowdonia, I'd found the fault - coil pack. Amazingly he had one on the van but it looked a right pig to ...

John <BR> <BR>I was thinking that the backfire pressure wave was just too fast for the filter to cope with, but then I remembered that my airbox suffered all it's damage in the lower section, after the filter. <BR> <BR>The biggest problem i've had with a backfire, other than the airflow meter being ...

What engine is it? Where is the LPG going into the system? <BR> <BR>I ask because I've got a VW Sharan that also has the intake pipe upstream of the filter removed. <BR> <BR>My "mixer" was a nozzle fitted into the intake pipe bend a few inches upstream of the throttle. I had a few backfires, blowing ...

The current CountryWide price is 44.18 ppl, according to my latest invoice.

Just been out to have a look and used the mixture LEDs on the HKL to look at the mixture during the flat spot and it is rich. <BR> <BR>If I screw in the vaporiser screw to lean the mixture, the mixture at speed is also lean.

Can't find any pipes off, although the air pipe came off the mixer when it went. I think the backfire was a combination of a crappy ht lead (Lumenition 4 months old yet tracking) and my heavy right foot (family emergency at the time). <BR> <BR>This happened once before and I had to richen the ...

After my backfire last week, I had to richen the mixture on the Zavoli vaporiser to get enough fuel for the engine to run. <BR> <BR>It idles fine at 950rpm, the mixture at 3500rpm is fine and above 2000rpm it feels as good as ever, possibly better. <BR> <BR>But, at 1300 to 1600rpm, there is a BIG ...

Thanks to crappy Lumenition ht leads, I've had another backfire today. <BR> <BR>When I lifted the bonnet, the Air Mass Meter unit was sitting there with no pipes attached!! The airbox has blown apart, despite a pop off valve and now it won't run on gas, only on petrol. <BR> <BR>Tweaking the Lambda ...

Paul <BR> <BR>I've probably got the same engine as you (ADY) in my 95 Sharan. <BR> <BR>Never damaged the MAF, but blown the airbox to bits. Now I've got a backfire valve fitted to the airbox. <BR> <BR>It won't solve your problem, but it wall save your pocket!! <BR> <BR>I'm sure vastly superior ...

I called Norwich Union Direct today to buy insurance, I was with them before through a broker, but he didn't pay his bills! <BR> <BR>They had to go away for a few minutes to check with the underwriter, but covered me without asking for a certificate and no extra charge.

We used to run 100cc kart engines to 22k rpm, a 27 (Autolite i think) would be used unless it was raining, when a 31 was used, due to the lower rpm used, less chance of fouling. <BR> <BR>If it dried up, and you forget to change back, the hole in your piston would make it perfect for a light pull in ...

Thanks Steve <BR> <BR>It seems to be working ok now, changed the whole ht system and richened up the mixture on the co re gas system until the LED's indicated correct mixture. <BR> <BR>I've just got the VAG COM diagnostic system so set the laptop up to log the lambda output on a run and everything ...

8 pence per mile at 40p/litre. Currently paying 41.5p/litre so 8.3 pence per mile. <BR> <BR>VW Sharan 2l with Zavoli vap, <font color="ff0000">&#149;</font><font color="ff0000">&#149;</font><font color="ff0000">&#149;</font><font color="ff0000">&#149;</font> pipe bolted into the intake pipe mixer ...

I'm having a few problems understanding the instructions on the Lektron CO.RE.GAS system. <BR> <BR>The instructions say that the engine should be revved to 3000/3500 rpm and then the manual regulator on the stepper motor should be adjusted until the LED's alternate. All ok so far. <BR> <BR>Then the ...

Just been out for a tweak, richened up the Lektron solenoid mixture until it idled smoothly, then drove on gas with no problems. <BR> <BR>Thinking about it, there is a bit more induction roar especially on a loaded throttle, the air box is ok, so it must be the inlet tract somewhere. <BR> <BR>Need ...

Changed the plugs, leads, dizzy cap & rotor - still the same. <BR> <BR>The Dizzy cap & rotor were wrecked, so I mst be getting a better spark now. <BR> <BR>The Lektron Coregas controller is showing a green light. <BR> <BR>IF i can get it lumpily idling on gas, switching to petrol sends the revs up ...

VW 2.0 ADY engine, single point lpg system. <BR> <BR>One wet morning last week, it was a bit rough running on gas, then had a backfire, saved by the valve on the airbox. <BR> <BR>this morning, wet & cold, I couldn't keep it running on gas, so went about a mile on petrol before switching over ...

How come it's taken me 2 years to find this site? Apart from lack of imagination on search engines<img src="http://www.my90.co.uk/lpgforum/clipart/blush.gif" border=0> <BR> <BR>Had a small leak while "locked on" fuelling up last week. <BR> <BR>Bought a new screw to bayonet adaptor, seeing as the 'o ...
