    1:00 Why do you have to release the hand brake when you are on level ground in the garage? I would never pull the handbrake in these conditions. You only risk it freezing up. More of a problem for the drum brakes, but anyways. Nevbertheless: the 2CV is one of the best cars to drive in winterly conditions. Just remember: downhill, no more heating...

      We did and it wasn't successful. I would have improved it and made a video about the improvements, but it was right before we emigrated and I just didn't have time. The biggest issue was the gearing. It needed two sets of reduction gears. Second biggest issue was the brakes, those needed gearing down as well. The thing was so heavy, it was frankly quite dangerous.

    If it runs lean change the jets - I think you don not understand a 2 CV they DO NOT use vacuum in anyway or means

    • @corrieb74
      @corrieb74 3 місяці тому

      Any car that's not forced induction creates vacuum in the intake. If you have a vacuum leak and 5% of your intake air is not passing through the carburettor, you'll be 5% leaner. However as I found out subsequent to this video, the intake on the 2CV has a small hole in it that was blocked, so in that respect you're correct - it shouldn't have been able to hold a static vacuum. These videos were about the process of me learning the 2CVs quirks. Not a "how to" guide.

    In Spain, during the 2021 Filomena snowstorm (the one that left centuries-record heights of snow and covered in snow even places that had never been snowed over since the XVII century), a couple vids became viral; that of an old 2CV (proudly bearing the name of the local ironmonger's bussines on its side) performing mountain rescue of stuck cars and then _literally_ driving circles around them to show off, and that of a modern 4WD off-roader trying to navigate 50 cm of snow in the street and getting stuck - while another old 2CV chugged along merrily, overtaking it. So yeah, not surprised at all.

    I remember my first ride in snow with my 2CV6 in 1988. All other cars got stuck at the hills, no matter if BMW or Mercedes. The Michelin X tires were really good in winter. The major problem was just the freezing inside of the windshield ...whenever I had to stop. So I decided to buy a blower motor for about 25,- to solve that problem. Some poking around to mount it , but after that it worked fine. Greetings from Sauerland.

    The 2CV is a stunning example of how far ahead of the rest of the world the French were (and still are) in terms of transportation technology, and how simple solutions are still functional, many years later. The 2 CV's capabilities are why they had such a hard time every time they tried to stop making them. They jus do so much, so well. Viva la France !!
