Brilliant thanks Simon

Hi,
I’m looking to do some touch up work on my van but just can’t find the colour code anywhere. Does anyone recognise the colour?
It’s a 1988 t25.
Any pointers appreciated.
Cheers
Pete

Hi all, Thanks o much for your advice / feedback. The engines only done £30k miles but it was installed around 20 years ago. The leak is fairly minor( I don't have to routinely top-up the coolant).  Following threads here and on theSamba.com I'm going to add some radweld and see how it goes. Thanks ...

Hi, I'm certainly no expert but I've been reliable informed that the pink powdery deposits around gaskets on the underside of my 1.9 ltr wc petrol T25 are signs of coolant leakage and the engine will need stripping and the gaskets replaced. Its a recon engine that has done 30k miles. Does anyone kno...

Thanks for the responses . Are you saying these lidl wheel trims will fit? https://www.aldi.co.uk/silver-14%22-wheel-trims-4-pack/p/802219426443200      (I won't hold you to it by the way but are these the ones or similar to the ones you've used?) My problem is I ordered a set of 14" online and...

Hi, I have always had 4 full size plastic wheel trims on my F reg T3. Unfortunately one of them went missing a couple of months back and i've been searching for eitehr a replacement set or a single wheel trim to cover over the now ugly and exposed wheel . I realise i need deep concaved ? wheel trims...

Hi todays been the first chance i've had to follow up on this. So the sensor with the boot removed is black. The connection has around 10.2V on it and if I short across the two wires the temp gauge in the van goes fully to the right. So I think this is the right sensor? I think this is a suitable re...

Thanks - much appreciated. I'll give it a go

Hi, I have the same problem with the tank overflowing when I fill it up. I've lived with it for several years now - I just don't fill the tank. I don't get any strong smell of petrol. My problem is I'm off on a big tour of France doing around 3000 miles and I've spent a lot of money over the last fe...

Thanks again.
I took a photo.
Have I identified the coolant sensor correctly ( circled in yellow)

Wow - thanks so much for the response.
I'll take another look later in the week - hopefully I'm getting 10V at the temp sensor.
Can i just check that I don't need to drain the system(coolant) to replace the sensor?
Thanks again
Pete

Hi
Thanks again for helping out.
Although my van is registered 1988 it did a a replacement/reconditioned engine around 2001. Hopefully if I've got this right heres a couple of pictures of the temperature sensor

Hi , I'm sure this must have been covered elsewhere but I can't find it. I've spent the day tracing several electrical faults on my 1988 1.9 litre petrol T25 (watercooled). The temp gauge isn't working but I have shorted pins on relay 43 to prove the gauge is ok and have measured 10volts on the sing...

Wow Thanks for all the feedback - really appreciated. So this is the second window thats split with almost an identical pattern. From your comments it seems that this window is possibly just standard glass and what i need is reinforced glass, cut correctly to size and check thereare no sharp edges o...

Thanks for the guidance - I'm new to using the forum. Hopefully this works
