15:25 would be a highlight 😂, I was just touching the gas a little bit ( i didn’t even floor it or so )🌚

Smoooooth 👍

4th up that hill 6:48 too. Impressive

I wasn’t even pushing it as it’s not broken in yet. The DJ with Marcos efi is really wonderful:)

Hello, I also have the 2.1 DJ engine in my t3 and I will install an EFI, will it improve the fuel consumption in the t3?

[@Guentherthevwbus]

Hello . I sadly only drove it for 500km until now and it consumed around 12l on a very hilley area . Under normal conditions ( normal roads and a broken in engine, as mine isn’t fully broken in yet, which slightly reduces the efficiency) it should consume around 9-10l in my opinion. My carburated DF consumed 16l/100 on the same island FYI so I see a considerable improvement. I will ask Marco Mansi about the fuel consumption under normal conditions as he may know more about it :) I will come back to you as soon as I get an answer

Ps I also run the mansispeed injectors , I would also suggest you to buy them if you get the efi as they mix the fuel better with the air , they will decrease your fuel consumption for sure .

I didn’t forget about you, I will start my research in 2 weeks ( when I’m back in Greece )

[@Reeck-rack]

Hello, I see you are on vacation, but may I ask in which German region you are located. I am looking to establish a contact list, people like you who are proficient in WBX, for the future restoration of my bus, restarting the engine, not broken, as well as bodywork work... syncro 2.1 SR... thank you for reading me. Eric, in the Paris region. We can exchange by email afterwards, for more details, if you wish.

[@Guentherthevwbus]

Hello and thanks for reaching out to me ,i live in Saxony but all my tools are in Greece so I sadly won’t be able to help that much:/ I can only supply you with Infos in my spare times. You can just dm me on Instagram from more info @Guenther_the_vw_bus

[@Reeck-rack]

thanks for your quick reply. wbx experts are very rare in France, that's why I'm directing my research to Germany. The closest I've located is Doctor Digifant in Gerstetten. I'm also continuing my research in France, lots of aircooled specialists. Do you think that with all the documentation, a good aircooled mechanic can do a good job on watercooled?

[@Guentherthevwbus]

@@Reeck-rack it depends . If the aircooled mechanic is really good probably yes, the wbx is a little different and a small mistake can ruin the entire engine though ( for example , installing the late bearings the wrong way, which is actually Posible or using bad headstuds )
