Hi all I have my pb lump in the va now but need to know how to plumb it in. Does anyone have any pictures? I cant afford diesel pipes but am handy with a welder....so was going to make some Ts up...i had a chat with the man with the gti doka at vanfest so if he has some pics thatd be sound! oh also ...

Cheers for the offer but i have everything apart from the bolts. Now its all together i can measure how long they need to be...

Cheers aidan appreciate that, ended up cutting my petrol one down in the end!

Does anybody know? Ive just took the one out of my WBX and its the same as the diesel one i got sold can anybody make it clear for me what the length is of the right shaft. So much for putting the gti lump in tonight

Hi all ive tried the wiki but had no luck. I have a diesel bell housing but no bolts...so im a bit stuck. Anyone have any ideas of lengths and thread.
Cheers

Evening all I have removed the heads from my 1.9 WBX today, not a bad job (all studs are intact :lol: ) however when removing the heads the liners seemed to come out with them which im not sure they were meant to as i have no idea how youd get the pistons back in the liners/cylinders without a strip...

Hi all
In the process of doing the head gaskets on my van. Has anyone got any info on setting the valve clearance and what position the engine should be in? Its a 1.9 wbx. Thanks

I see what your saying just seems a shame to put a hole in it. Will it work just receiving 6amps of power and just not perform quite as well?

Hi all, Im at a stage now to fit the 2 way fridge in my panel van. It seems a shame to put holes in the side and floor of a perfect panels so my idea is to use one of these http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/240V-12V-TRANSFORMER-RECTIFIER-coolbox-mains-caravan-/170420909895?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_Campervan_Carav...
