Thanks

Hi, does anyone know where I can get hold of a new ( or guaranteed working used) manifold heater switch? It's the one on the left of the thermostat which turns on/off the choke and manifold heater ( not the coolant temperature sensor). It's for my 1988 1.9 dg petrol engine with pierberg 2e3 carb. Th...

Cheers for that Ian. Hopefully the 'mild' weather will be here very soon!

Thanks Ian, sorry to sound stupid but what exactly is the warm air unit? I can only see the plastic warm air pipe in that corner but no obvious connection to attach the pipe to? Thanks!

Hi can someone tell me where one of the thin pipes from the air box of a 1.9 dg engine goes? One of them goes to the vacuum unit however the other has come off and I can't see where it connects to in the rear corner of the engine bay? It's the thin black pipe in the far right hand corner of the phot...

Hi, I am trying to get hold of a couple spray cans to redo some very minor repairs but am having trouble with local suppliers and even the local vw dealership being able to find my paint codes! It is two tone with light greyish brown on top and dark brown on the lower half. The dealers booklet state...

I was looking at this too but just for coolant temp. there is this fitting kit from Just Kampers - http://www.justkampers.com/shop/x11323003011-vdo-water-temperature-fitting-kit-for-all-t25-t4-and-t5-j13064.html but it seems pretty expensive to me - I've been told to go to Demon tweeks who will do a...

thanks for the suggestions - yeh my feeling is its either fuel mixture or timing - i had problems with the fuel mixture for the mot as it was causing high emmisions but the garage managed to lower it for it to pass, but perhaps in doing so it effected the mixture to cause the power loss problem? i'l...

Hi, Just had my 1.9DG 1988 t25 back from the garage (after having had new radiator and mot) and taken it out for a spin, but there is a real loss of power when approaching hills. basically if I approach at around 40-50mph in 4th gear, as soon as the hill starts the revs drop below to between 1500 an...

if its the one i'm thinking of i'm sure brickwerks have it as i got one from them a little while back

vacuum unit still listed from VW, note it's a T25 specific part, even though 2e3s were used on different vehicles the carbs are not the same, differnt jets, pull downs, cams for cable connection, vac units etc...vary 025 129 061 about £35 if it goes obsolete from VW then ask Brickie to get it from ...

ah thats fair enough. i know what its like, especially if new parts aren't available you need to keep hold of decent spares!

I will try and hunt down a secondhand one somewhere as I need one before i can pass the MOT

thanks

thanks for the quick reply kev

that sounds similar to what the garage told me.

you say you have a working one, is it available for me to buy from you?

cheers,Dan

hi, i've been told by my garage that i need to replace a part on my pieburg 2E3 carburettor which according to the haynes manual is the vacuum unit? its the black circular unit on the back of the carb (i.e. the side closest to the front of the van) what does this do? and where can i get a replacemen...

Called Baxter and as you can imagine they have no issues with a refund but are loath to send a new one out until they receive the original back, understandable to be honest, but as I need it asap due to now having the van in bits i've ordered the thicker one and i'll send the other one back as and ...
