I would assume they would tell you how to add beam benders on the packet.
That said as most things like this put of China there is almost no information provided.

Hhaha ok my bad.

Jet us know how you get on. Autodoc, whats wrong with Brickwerks ))

Any grease is better than no grease. But you want bearing grease. New bearings come with grease but its not enough i think. They need packing then slathering. Palm of the hang greased and presing grease though by pushing bearing down. The bearings are goosed - they need changing. You have had metal ...

A temp fix is a temp fix. Something to get you from A to B before a final permanent fix. Dont get me wrong, me personally I would always be looking at a supergllue fix to see if it is holding up. Exposed to oil on one side, extreme weather temps and wet. I have never found superglue to be a superglu...

As above, barbyou need to check of grease has hot on the pads. If Y you need new pads also.
Your garage has overtightened the nuts. As said the washer is moveable with a screwdriver.

Is that a nail in the nut in the pic?

In all the it takes you to to do a bodge like a split boot it will take probably 2-3 longer doing it properly.

If in a rush and for a temp fix before its done properly then a split boot is the only way. Hope it holds for your travels.

Hello Aidan. Most kind of you. Probably explains why mine had some kind of sealant on it instead. There was a weep hence why the change and questions. May I PM you ? I have the seen the O rings in Germany for very little. Baxter has them as part of gasket kit but not individually. I seen the rings o...

Funny i just done my rear one last week.

Sanded, washed, sanded washed.

2 coats of hammerite smooth with foam
roller. Let it cure then another 2 coats.

I got a paper gasket for the reverse light housing from BW.


But it protrudes alot. Closer inspection of the housing cover shows it should be a rubber o ring seal. VW pn 094 301 278 A. Any idea on where to get this part or will the paper seal hold up.

Glad you got it working. Well done.

Scamazon is such a rip off. Any electrical shops near you and those capacitors would have cost cents.

Being unfamiliar with old VW and not having the manuals and not being able to spanner makes ownership a world of (financial) pain.

I have done everything on my van myself over the years - bar the engine recon which is now with AW.

check your dizzy caps

Get the alternator rebuilt.

Ahh a good old oil thread.

These engines are so old any modern oil will do thats in spec. I use 10w40 on my JX.

In such an old engine mixing a mineral with ss wont do any harm.
