Type 1 powered air compressor Posted: Thu Jan 03, 2019 10:46 pm     Views: 20      Rating: Not rated

A friend of mine uses this VW air compressor for his sandblasting setup at his fab shop. He asked if I could give it a tune up, oil change and re-seal. Oil cooler and seals are messed up. Fresh stuff going in tomorrow.

This thing uses the 3-4 cylinder bank to compress the air, and the 1-2 bank to run. Had to turn over the engine to watch the valves move to set clearances as the plug wires run from what would normally be the 3-2 spots on the distributor cap. Not sure why.
