VWAR Old forum !

hello. i need some help with my -69 1500 semi-automatic.
the trans. works perfect except the engine stalls when I shift to reverse. I really need some help with this problem so I`ll be happy for every little tip

Sebastian82,
                 Got your idle speed correct (via a multimeter AND the A-S is slightly higher than a manual) and carb all thoroughly adjusted? Valves too? Plugs gapped?

I'll assume you have a 30 Pict 2?

Here http://www.vw-resource.com/30PICT2.html to adjust

That's a start

it was a short in the back-up light connector. I got a tip from a friend but I thougt it sounded weird. I disconnected the contact and shablaam!!! th reverse worked like a charm

Sebastian82,
                 Excellent work....an inexpensive fix (dunno about time taken to sort it  :lol: )!
