Are you sure it doesnt though when caning it?
Im near certain itll cure mine, if i lift off when i feel it cutting it sort of rectifies itself and can shoe on a bit again
Also hot starting is a pita i need to fix
Rust is a pain but looking can get 316 coupes with engine problems pretty cheap(not much more than scrap value so cant go far wrong)
Out of interest whats the bosch VE coming off?
You lot really do get raped for tax! £225 for the year here on anything over 1.5.
Mine cuts out when Im changing gears and let off the throttle with the clutch in the revs just drop to nothing. Usually letting the clutch out and flooring it solves the problem but sometimes i floor it, the mpg gauge goes to nothing but I get no fuel injected. Also sometimes at light throttle like 1500rpm in 5th cruising if i then put my foot down I get nothing. Occasionally itll stall and refuse to be fixed by flooring it and letting the clutch out.
The VE is off an old 524TD and they are rare, Ive never seen one for sale in this country. However the nose looks very similar to the noses on Vauxhall VE pumps. Once daren has done my VE6 10mm im gonna rebuild some of the VP into a vauxhall pump if the nose is close enough and put a 12mm head on it.
