alright after reading this thread i have decided to keep the f.i. on the 71 square i recently aquired. I am the proud owner of now 2 squares, my 69 when i bought it seven years ago that I've done a great deal of work on it and it shows if ya were to see it. well anyway the f.i. was ripped out of it by a local shop that i worked for at a later time. well the 71 i was told it was running rich i had it towed to my home when I started it almost all of the fuel lines were leaking or should i say pouring fuel. replacing fuel ines are not that hard, but can the crimped lines going into the injectors be aquired.

Gently cut the crimped "can" on the outside away. This will leave a pipette with a barbed end that you can slip the new fuel hose over and clamp it with a small hose clamp. Otherwise you have to buy an entire replacement injector with the short hose already crimped on it. Make sure you're using a higher pressure hose suitable for fuel injection. Wink

Hey Tram; I'd never seen this thread before. It's good stuff. If you ever get bored you should make a F.I. troubleshooting guide and have it turned into a sticky.

Hello everyone:
I'm new to type 3's and my buddy just picked up a good looking '72 square. The prob is that it sufered frome an engine fire. The damage was minimal IMO just that the car didn't burn to the ground or even melt the interior carpet, rear glass it gone though. I know NOTHING about F.I. and need to know where to start.
The engine is on the ground and seem to be all there w/ a few extra parts he picked up and never used i.e. throtle body,fan housing, injectors and some I cannot identify.
I simply don't know where to start.
Thanks for your time and I hope to get my Buddy on this site soon.

The FI trouble shooting guide is on my web site.
http://classicvw.org/gallery/Fuel-Injection-Manual

I use just standard Gas line for VW D-Jet FI. It is rated at 250 psi. And I have tested it to almost 600 psi, before it bursts.

I have lots of 914 Porsche wiring harness customers, but I might be willing to make the D-Jet Fuel Injection and possibly other Type 3 wiring harnesses for T3/T4 owners. I also repair the L-Jet harnesses as well.

Here is my wiring harness website for info, prices for the VWs would be similar:

Please contact me directly by email, I may not check this thread often...

I have seen one or two T3 FI harnesses come through my shop, but do not have any now. So if you needed a new harness I would need a sample to work from. All the parts are the same as the 914, just the configuration is different. Is there any need for T3/T4 alternator or ignition harnesses?

I am a long time VWT3/T4 admirer...I formerly owned a '67 Fastback ...it was and is one of my alltime favorite cars... Very Happy

If you knock off a connection to one of the injectors and try to drive the car, it will run like crap....

Just an FYI thing.... Smile

well i almost replaced all the fuel lines in the real of the car. one of the injectors i had a problem getting the crimpped portion off. it was thicker metal, the tip was yellow in color and the other three were mustard color so... i guess it was replaced sometime in the past. i finally got it off but was out of time and i'll finish it this weekend. thank for the heads up blankmange a bit late, i bought 14 feet for about $3 per foot almost $70. i spent too much time at the local autozone answering too many questions on why i need 14 feet of high pressure fuel line. thanks again for help to all. peace.

You people aren't going to want to hear this.
We are closing one of our plants. I knew there was a bunch of 5/16" fuel injecton hose in the warehouse. I asked what they wanted for it. I would buy it.
I found out today, that it went to the landfill. about 5000 ft of it.

I'm thinking 5000 ft. should be easy to find?

I checked on that today, and the waste management company won't say where they dump.
Also, the local landfill does not allow "rag pickers". They also bury stuff almost immediately when it comes into hte landfill, so it is probably 6 feet under by now. Crying or Very sad
