Hello all! Having been a silent lurker for about 2 months, I am proud to
announce the new aquisition (spelling?) of a 1982 westfalia with a 86 jetta
diesel engine. I am pleased as punch with it, having just sold my 70 westi
baywindow. Although I am fairly familar with the beast, having read most
of whats been posted here over the last few months, its still a little
wierd to open the lid and see such a different engine from my old 1600
air-cooled. Sounds a lot different too!
Anyway, I flew to Portland, OR saturday morning, paid the man, and drove it
770 miles back to Utah without so much as a hiccup. Averaged 26-31 MPG at
about 60 MPH.
However, midway back here, I noticed a fuel leak. Seep actually. Where
the fuel line connects with the injector 3rd from the back (dont know if
that is properly numbered 2 or 3) there is a small amount of fuel that
leaks from this connection. Any quick fixes?
Also, I am in need of a Bentley manual to take care of my pride and joy.
Any good sources?
Cheers,
Kevin
