Former VWDieselParts.com Forum

I just finished up installing a greasecar kit in my Rabbit, and am having some problems that I thought this forum might be able to help me with. It seems like when running on veggie, the engine is getting very bad fuel injected. It clacks loudly, bucks, smokes, and generally acts very unhappy. I'm a...

OK, I'm serious now, the garage has become a problem. It's packed with stuff, and I'm leaving for school in two weeks and it all has to go before then. Take a look, I'll offer a discount for local forum members!

edit, just sold mine locally. good luck...

Hmm, weird, I've received PM's before. Hit the email (envelope) icon at the bottom of my post. If that doesn't work, I'll post my email address here.

FYI, the steering wheel, rearview mirror, hubcaps, axle shaft, and one taillight are gone at this point. The rest is still available.

Steering wheel and passenger's side taillight gone, everything else still available.

Also forgot to mention: Rabbit/Jetta/Vanagon locking gas cap, good shape, works great, key included. $5

Clearing out the garage, there's some good MkI stuff in here so check it out. -- The parts shown on this page are what remains of a 1979 VW Rabbit I parted out last summer. It was a red 4-door car with a gasoline engine and a 5-speed transmission. Most parts will also fit diesel Rabbits, or gasoline...

http://seattle.craigslist.org/car/151789075.html Not mine, no connection to seller, just ran across it and thought someone might want to jump at this opportunity. Looks like it just needs a belt and probably some head parts. I have too many projects on my hands already but it would be nice to see so...

Or here's another local one that was a diesel, broke timing belt, cheap:

Just saw this on craigslist: http://seattle.craigslist.org/car/151761110.html Looks like a fairly straight 2-door shell, and it's a German car which is nice. Motor is blown, doesn't say if it was gas or diesel. Pacific Northwest car, which means most likely zero rust...and Port Angeles is maybe 100 ...

Yeas I am using special ---supply ---NOT from main tank. I suspect he's running on free vegetable oil, from a second/heated tank. I do wonder how the lube stays clean though. :?: You may have answered your own question...if he is running vegetable oil, there's nothing in there to blacken the oil. W...

A couple quarts of ATF (auto trans fluid, any type) in the tank works also. Has saved my butt at least once. I must say, you'd be far better off running kerosene as a stop-gap fuel. Kerosene is sold in many of the same types of stores, and is cheaper. Best is to of course pack a gallon of fuel in yo...

I just figured this out tonight. Take an expansion tank and block off the 5/8 inch port, I used a rubber block off cap. Then connect a pressurised air source with a gauge, I used an old bicycle foot pump with gauge. Put the questionable cap on the expansion tank and pump the assembly up. On my 82 r...

FF/FN is about as good as you'll get, and is in most Rabbits so it works well. I think the only one with a significant advantage over it is the 6G or something like that. But none will have enough difference to really affect top speed or MPG.
