For those who own or work on Type 25s, this new product from VW Heritage will be the proverbial music to your ears.

Plagued by problems, the Pierburg carburettors regularly get a bad press, and up until now the only way to fix them has been a complicated and not always successful rebuild procedure. Brand new replacements have been impossible to source.

These dark days are now over though, thanks to the hard work of the VW Heritage Product Development team. In partnership with carburettor champs Brosol, they have produced a direct replacement 2E model that is box-fresh and just waiting to be bolted onto your engine.

Idle problems, misfires and general running glitches can be a thing of the past. Get £259.95 at the ready, pick up the phone and speak to the fine folk at VW Heritage; alternatively wave your web wand over VWHeritage.com and have part number 025-129-015 to hand.
