Hi There,

Just putting it out there if anyone has a VW Grundig ECU 1218 Tester (as pictured) that I may use, borrow, purchase to run some tests on the ECU on my '68 Type 3 Square.

Cheers
Craig

Hi Craig

No tester but somewhere amongst my technical book collection I have info on the early sistems,what is the problem with your ECU?

Hi Paul,

An enrichment issue on cold start. I have all the books and manuals and I've been playing with a few different temp senders, MAFs, etc, but the tester would just help to determine any wiring or ECU faults.

It appears tonight I may have found one to borrow, so looking forward to plugging it into my Square.

Cheers
Craig

Is running lean or rich on cold start ? If lean do not neglect vacuum leaks.
