Brake problem and possible solution
Hello!
T34 has been sitting a long time (no-one knows how long) and its brakes stick if I brake, at three wheels: Left front wheel brake works as it should. If I open the bleed screw of a stuck brake, it expels a bit of brake fluid and then the wheel spins again, i.e.. the brake itself works and I can drive it if I don't brake. Old Beetle owners like me know that especially rear brake hoses are famous of breaking in such a way it forms a one-way valve and thus sticking the brakes every time you brake, so I bought new hoses. I didn't buy new ones to front at the same and that was a mistake. Oh well, yet another visit to local VW shop. (They know me by name there already. "Hello Thomas, what may we sell you today?" ) Haven't had time to replace those yet, but I can't imagine what else it could be as the 4th wheel works: If all four were stuck, then it would point to brake master cylinder or pipes. I've also new handbrake cables, I'll change those at the same time I replace the hoses. I dismantled and cleaned carburettors and now I have (a bit rough) idle and charging appeared when I installed springs for the carbon bits (what are the called?) as they were MIA. Some almost new pictures (added at 5th of September) at the picture page: http://kharon.suomiforum.com/www/ghia3/ -- Tuomas - VWs:'63 typ14, '65 typ34 & '61 typ2 |
