I have broken down in Paris with my type 2 1600 beloved VW camper van. Does anyone know of an air cooled specialist. Engine runs fine when cold but cuts out when hot. Have just had full engine service before leaving London so maybe valves / timing / tappets need adjusting. Have tried numerous VW garages no one will touch it - please help!! I can get the van to anywhere in Paris.
Thanks yours desperately. Luke Campbell 3 young boys and Nancy the suffering wife about to blow her own gasket!

Sounds like a fuel delivery

Sounds like a fuel delivery problem to me. I am very familiar with Paris, but unfortunately do not know any early VW specialists.

Try "Sunflowercampers". They

Try "Sunflowercampers". They are a French based company and may have a lead to a Paris based mechanic. +33 (0) 243056013.
