Thinking of buying an LT35 -82 with engine problem

You could have a look at the technical manual.

LT28 1979 2.0 Pampas Nevada Camper LPG 93K, 1980 T3 A/C Camper 98K,1994 RRC 3.9 LPG 120k , 1998 Audi A6 Est 2.5 V6 diesel 127k

?Have you used the Image search rather than Web?

http://https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=Pierburg+1b1&rlz=1C1CHFX_en-GBGB435GB435&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=-Hh0U9GVDs-S0QXAp4DwDg&ved=0CC0QsAQ&biw=1920&bih=985

I find that quite often there are images which have links to information the websearch did not throw up, or it was so far down the list of pages.

VW LT Camper not Cramper

....at least the roof is not rusting away....

The manual is there, trust me cos I uploaded it ages ago and checked before I replied.
Same carb fits LT's and Passat using different jets.

Edit:-

Just checked now to be sure LT Manuals - Petrol leads to Engine and Carb manuals.

AndyT; Thanks for all the replies, i will have another check in the manuals - maybe i overlooked it.

LTCamper89; I did try several google searches before asking here, i always turn to forums as a last resort. But thanks! :)

Edit: Was too fast with the reply.

Haha! :D

To go even further off topic;

We do the same in swedish. Put words together and voilá - this means something completely different!

Not entirely true, but the other way around, if you mean something and don't connect the words, it can be hilarious.

For example;

"Giftorm" = poisionous snake

"Gift orm" = married snake.

And yeah, we have the same word for marriage and poison over here. :)

First, please bare with my lacking in english mechanical terms...

This friday me and a friend changed the timing belt and discovered that the old one was mounted one kog wrong... With a new one fitted and fitted correctly my LT now runs a lot better... More power and runs smoother! Thumbs Up

Since how hard we tried we couldn't find the ignition timing marker on the flywheel trough the hole in the gearbox bellhousing we had to resort to basic or "default" (+5 degrees said Haynes) setup and then did rolling ignition calibration on the road with my friend sitting behind the front seat and adjusting the distributor cap to make it run as smooth as possible. LOL

It runs best with a bit more pre-ignition than the basic setup. (?)

Problems with stuttering on lower rpms with half throttle still persists, but now it doesn't need to have choke applied to even run... When a small amount of choke, small enough to only close the air inlet a bit, is applied it runs better and the stuttering stops, but higher rpm power is reduced.

My thoughts are still with the carburettor 1, being incorrectly adjusted, since it was adjusted with the timing off... or 2, that it still needs to be replaced.

Any thoughts? It seems strange that it runs best on more pre-ignition, anything related to the 2.0 litre?

And are there any ways to set the carburettor in "default", unadjusted, mode and see if it runs better?

Thanks,

Widar

Hi fellow LT'ans!

Back trying to fix her again.

I'm trying to sort out a broken vacuum pipe t-piece and started wondering if i ever got the vacuum hoses correct before.

Does anyone know what the "damper" nr1 here does?

I don't have it on my LT...?

Thanks! But.. that doesn't help me. Dunno if it's the english or that it's monday. I just can't get my head around why it's needed. Why is a vacuum valve needed to divert air?

Care to explain like I'm 5?
