I have a bad oil leak from the input shaft on my gearbox, I had thought it was the engine and spent last weekend swapping the engines over with a spare Iv got. Been fine on short run's to work but took the van for a spin today parked and had a look started dripping then poured oil out between gearbo...

Trying to find a way of running the fridge on elec when out and about. I have a leisure battery with a split charger that works fine and have just wired a 19watt solar panel with regulator to help charge the batt when parked up. Gave it a try, took van to work parked up switched fridge on and left t...

I ran a topic on this cuple weeks ago, the only answer is to get the oil pressure tested, mine was intermitent so I fitted a oil pressure gauge (as I plan to keep the van even with different engine). My oil pressure dropped from 3.5 bar to 0.9 ish when hot engine ran great but for how long?. I need ...

Laurie Petit is recommended for rebuilds, others include Volkspares and VEGE, I think.

Ok no E.vw but VS are entered as a supplier of recon engines, now supplied engines by Evw.
Ill let this thread die just as quick as vs engines and backup.

Found a site on the net, I was right with the wire's. Wired up fitted to the high pressure switch and earthed the buzzer of doom. Works well pitty as it tellls me what you all know. Started at 3.5 bar cold went for a run 1bar just at all speeds when hot, engine temp ok not overheating. Not sure were...

I know in the long run it will proberbly be the engine and as I said I did buy two second hand units and this is the one I didnt hear running, but other than time and some bits it hasent cost me mutch and I can always put the other engine in and the oil gauge is good for all engines so wont be waste...

Box of bits from JK arrived today to fit oil pressure gauge, no wireing diagram :( on the back of the gauge I have + / - / S S I take it go's to the sensor single wire? But the + / - do I just connect to the vans mains and earth? The sensor has a warning contact. I was hopeing to connect to the high...

Funny that took my van for MOT today passed only advise on drivers seat belt, fraying 8) . Driving the van home expecting the buzzer to say hello at some point, but no so went the long way home via Bristol and M5 no buzzer. Now not that I am suspicious but stopped and disconnected the high pressure ...

Checked the timing with strobe/vacume off spot on, would'nt think hot oil as the run was only about 5miles before buzzer started, have orderd oil pipe from brickyard and will connect sender to high pressure switch with gauge in cab, then see whats going on.

I think the same Grun, Ill order oil pressure sender hose from Brck-yard, is it best to fit it to the high or low pressure switch? to get the best reading ? as for some reason I dont have trouble getting to the high switch by the water pump, took 30 sec to remove and replace the switch yesterday, an...

Ok changed oil filter, The old one was a Fram and I read on brick-yard that someone had problems with this type filter, changed the high pressure switch and new oil. Started the engine no problems, took for a short trip no buzzer :D Came back to sort slight water leak, took for long run. Buzzer came...

Thanks trickydicky, Iv got the parts from JK both switch's and filters as Im short on spare time to come shopping in Chelt and stroud is not good for spares. Ill have a look at my tool selection but will get in touch if I need a socket. How,s the engine going? I went down the second hand route broug...
