Fuel Filter Plug

Ahhh, awesome. Thanks for the explanation!

I don't drive much but was hoping I wouldn't have to let Morty sit around for 2 weeks waiting on a new sensor. I'll keep an eye on things until then.

Fuel Filter Plug

Can someone elaborate on the function of the electrical plug at the bottom of the fuel filter? I was swapping mine out yesterday and noticed one of the wires was frayed and hanging on by a thread. In my search for a replacement I've seen it called just a fuel sensor, a fuel temp sensor, and a fuel l...

Broken Glow Plug

Phew! Good to know Growler. I was nervous this would start a chain reaction of issues, but so far so good.

Broken Glow Plug

Welp. Found the culprit. One of the tiny split lock washers on the plate popped off without me seeing and made it's way into hole. It was just large enough to not fall all the way through. I was able to retrieve it with a little digging and an extendable magnet, but lost some shards of the broken ti...

Broken Glow Plug

Hey guys, I was swapping glow plugs this afternoon and the tip of the final plug snapped off while tightening it down. All the others hand tightened to a certain point, then needed a wrench to finish the job. This one hit a snag about half way down and after a half to full turn with the wrench, I co...

A/T Temp

Hey White Mule, could you link to where you ordered your A/T temp sensor from? Or post the part #? I'm having a similar issue and think the sensor might be the thorn in my side.

Thanks!

Glow Plugs Cycling on and off after engine start fixed with Temp Sensor

Sorry to dig up an old thread, but I'm having a similar issue with my 91 Deli. I have fresh glow plugs but haven't been able to track down the temp sensor. Do you remember the part #? Or could you link me to where you snagged yours from?

Thanks!

Re: Hello from a VW bus guy looking at Delicas

I just picked up a 91 Delica Exceed from Mendel's Garage in Philly a few weeks ago. They have 3 others currently and more on the way from what the owner told me. They were all really clean and had clear titles in PA. I was able to fly out one way with Frontier airlines for $25. Drove it back the nex...
