NO ADJUSTMENTS WHAT SO EVER!!! so apart from the solenoid, I am very very happy ( So will the customer ) ALso nice VW Key ring thrown in. I might buy a couple more to stick on the shelf, cheers Frank
Same problem, except car wouldnt start. Turns out the choke is not working correctly. Will look at the solonoid tommorow but seems to be running okay.
But overall happy with the service and promptness on the postage.
Faulty Idle solenoid will not prevent motor from starting, if you have a cold start issue, open throttle to free choke butterfly, look down carby throat and note position of butterfly, if its closed, the choke spring preload is working, turn ignition to "on" leave for a minute or two, once again, open throttle fully, if butterfly is fully open, there is no issue with your choke. On the other hand, if the choke never fully closed with the first time you opened the throttle, you loosen the 3 small screws on the choke housing, rotate inner choke assembly anti clockwise until choke butterfly just closes, tighten the three screws. Your choke is now properly set and as long as the choke opens in the first minute or two, your choke is fine, then look at fuel delivery.
I've bought a set of running boards from Vollks, ordered on the Tuesday night, recieved on Thursday. Crazy fast! Will hopefully be ordering an adjustable beam soon, just gotta get the cash together

If Adam from RAW recommends them, thats good enough for me (RAW lowered my 71 bug - awesome service).
I'll be buying my gear from Vollks from now on. 👍

Now where have I heard that before..........Ah thats right, CLASSICVW !!!
Next you will be getting complaints on a VW Forum.... then an ex customer will come up with the idea of creating a better online VW Parts shorp........and so it goes !!
I have purchased a few things from volks and no surprises, delivery was very fast price was exactly what was advertised and quality was spot on.
I have ordered things from 2 other suppliers and had poor service, my seat trim kit was $150.00 more than the quoted price. I ordered some material for my standard hoodlining which is only tiny compared to a deluxe it cost me $180.00 took 3 months to get and then was charged a second time. From another dealer I ordered a carby kit for a 28pict and took 2 months. every time I called I got a different excuse. from the same place I ordered a few other bits and only got half the order and had to make numerous calls to find out where they were.
I posted a question on the website and received an answer within a few minutes.
Put in a new order last night and have also ordered prior and received packages very promptly.
