Hello,
I have the following problem: after changing the paper aircleaner back to the oil aircleaner I got a higher fuel consumption with approx. 2 liter per 100 km. (From 8,8 l/100km to 11,5 l/100km). Volkswagen changed the aircleaner for the 1972 model. I have searched all available documentation for some hints about a change in the carburettor set-up (other jets e.g) but found no clue.
The car is a 1302 superbeetle from 1970 with an 1600 AD engine from early 1973. The carburettor is a standard PICT 34 -3.
I have checked valve-clearance, ignition timing and fuelpump already and everything is exactly set.
Any idea's?
Thanks in advance,
Claus
