[Vwdiesel] How to loosen the bottom injection pump bolt?

[fudny at aol.com]

 I have had it since 05, just used for post office runs and local food shopping never very far. I don't know the whole history of it but I first looked at it maybe 16-17 years ago. 

Its light so what it suffers in shape it makes up in weight. I just put it on the scales and came in at 2120# no driver and 1/4 tank of fuel. So other than the rear bouncing off the ground on bumps its like driving the drive train without much else. Mine is a later model with oversized leaf springs as opposed to a Dasher rear suspention.

Up to now this year to make it safer and reliable I had a custom 1 3/4" exhaust from engine back from a opened up header pipe I supplied, brake hoses, valve adjust, fluid changes and soon to be resealed injection pump (occasional leak ???) First step is to have it run at it;s optimum before the next step...................... TBA

Thanks - Terry

This is  on my Grumman Kubvan and on a long trip this weekend it really

Oh fun!  How do you like it?

  I presume by "smoked up the hills" you mean it was smoking heavily  

rather than 

went really fast?

  First check your air filter, then injectors.  After that it's  pump 

adjustments (or bigger 

exhaust AND pump adjustments!)  :-)

  Had an air filter cause a loss of power in just a couple months, in  the 

spring, highway 

driving, non-turbo Rabbit.
