Dear Folks, l have a 1973 T3 Squareback.Auto. Dual carby model. A problem has been bugging me for some time and l am mystified. Help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I descfibe the problem in point form. 1. When car has been running and engine is hot. 2. l stop an park car for anywhere between 15 - 60 mins. 3.l start car - it starts OK. 4. After about 300-500 metres. 5. Car shudders and engine cuts out. 6.There is no fuel going into the engine. l have worked out this is the time it takes for the fuel to be used in the carby float chambers. 7.When l undo the fuel hoses from the fuel pump there is no petrol. Also in the intake hose there is an air or vapour lock. 8. l am able to restart the car by drawing fuel up the intake hose with a large syringe and pumping it into the fuel pump outlet hose. 9. My very trusty VW mechanic says a new fuel pump is in order however l have changed to a spare and problem persists. Any suggestions Thank you Terry Murphy . Sydney.
