The Kombi is in the NRMA workshop but they are too busy to work on it. Mandy & Steve have a place to stay, but unless it can be fixed, the kombi is getting towed to Port Maquarie on Wednesday

Hey they have to be back for the next club meeting in a weeks time!! 😀

It the fact that dubbers are there helping each other that counts....and the company on the side of the road at times like these...not that you're expected to be a wiz at fixing everything.....

It's so cool that your there astro...and 11cab alerting us all

I wish i had of found some internet access in hicksville...oopps i mean macksville(just joking to anyone that lives in macksville) last night.
I think it would have been much easier to go to a vw place in Coffs.We're now in Port McQuarie after being towed by a not so chatty tow truck driver......all squished up in the front cab..how cosy!!!:blush
Can't seem to find anyone to help....its sitting at a vw dealer at the moment but by the look of the place it will cost a weeks pay just to open the engine bay.
If anyones in the area & knows anything about 2ltr kombi engines please call me or steven.......0417 378 857......
Not sure whats wrong,she was cruising beautifully,sitting on 100 no probs until we hit some road works & we had to slow right down...she stared coughing & wanted to stall but i started going a liitle faster again & she was fine...didn't notice any probs as she cruised but as soon as i slowed down again she just wanted to stop...so she did ....she starts o.k but is coughing & sputtering quite a bit........she also seems to have a larger than normal oil leak??????

Rhys, 11CAB suggested the same thing. I checked them out this morning and all the rubber elbows etc seemed to be OK. I even managed to find that elbow which was missing off the tube on top of the air cleaner. Cheers for the help.
