Kombi Campers Cheat Sheets
modulus - March 8th, 2004 at 04:26 PM
At the Aussie Kombi Campers website, you can now print out one-page tuning and troubleshooting information for your 1700/1800 or 2 litre Kombi; we
call them "cheat-sheets".
Visit:
http://www.aussiekombicampers.com/cheat_sheets.shtml
to get one.
I'd be eternally grateful (well, OK, grateful for a few minutes..) if somebody would:
- critique the sheets that are there and/or
- prepare the information for the 1200 - 1600 engines...
Enjoy.

Darn, I thought you were talking about cheet engineers reports so you can re register a camper that has been out of rego for a while.
I just went through all that, flaming do good bureaueucrats make it near impossible with out a $500.00 engineers report, sux especially when its been
registered as a camper from new.

Should the tappet clearance be 0.006" not 0.008"?

Well spotted, grouch.
According to my Haynes manual, 1700 and 1800 engines after chassis number 213 2210 554 have sodium filled exhaust valves for which the clearance must
be .008. The manual concludes "if you are in any doubt...set the valves to .008... there may be some tappet clatter but you will not burn the
valves".
I haven't got room for that story, but thought it better to go with .008 than risk someone burning a valve.
Thanks for looking carefully...

Now those I could sell, rather than give away. Did you get it through with all the seats counted?

my gregorys says .008 for exhaust and .006 for inlet,for the 1800 that is.2l should be 006 for both.apparently 1700's had a bit of either
depending on engine nos.HTH cheers

Yep I got it passed, there's more than one way to skin a bureaueucrat, and thats all I'm saying :thumb

Thanks guys....
I'll try to find a way to phrase it accurately, but with all the replacement heads/valves etc. out there it 's a little tricky.
Not something to lose sleep over, because if you ask 5 people to set eight clearances at .008 and another five to set eight clearances at .006, while
lying on their back under a Kombi and manipulating a screwdriver, spanner and feeler gauge, you'd be hard-pressed to guess which group was which
from the end results.
How about :
.006"
(.008" for sodium-filled valves)

hi there modulus just wondering if the stats for a 2lt fuelinjected motor are the same as the 2lt carb motor?:o:o:o

Hi Blue Bus,
The only thing 'carburetted', so to speak, on the 2 litre cheat sheet is the idle speed. For the FI engine, this should be 850-950 rpm (or
900-1000 for automatic g'box), slightly higher than for the carburetor engine.
Other than that, the data are the same.

Any offers for collating the 1500/1600 information?

Thanks for the cheatsheet. You've done well. Cheers.
