Club 80-90 Forums

after a week of leaving the fridge on and making copious cups of tea the gauge still read 95% - until i tapped it with a spanner and it went down to 80%. Job done! the only thing i dont understand is that it says in the handbook there is a safety valve not allowing it to fill over 80% anyway.... sti...

thanks again - very useful info - i'll get on to it this weekend.

thanks Camperfan - i found that one too which led me to the 1975 date - surely i cant have a 1975 T25! i will take a visit to a vw dealership as i understand that they can get the colour from the chassis number.

hi. first post so forgive me if this is obvious. i have a red westfalia camper 1986 and would like to get some touch up paint. i have found the code - L36Q which does not accord with the codes on the wiki here or lots of other places on the net. I have found out that this is a 1975 vw red but how do...
