Club 80-90 Forums

Folks I+On my recent trip to Cornwall I noticed that the engine was running rough (in a kangarooing style) around 2000rpm, but smoothed off above 2500rpm. Bugger i thought - will post a query on 80-90 when I get home. Then I noticed that there was a speed related vibe - which I (correctly) put down ...

Got hom, emptied the van and left it for a week - came out to find the fridge still running off gas - ...

Ideally I'd like a rear view mirror that mounts about 4 to 6 i...

Download yourself this, and marvel at the wonder of the switches and what they do.

Folks

Many thanks for your responses - the manual that Jake pointed me to has the answer - the LPG pre-heater for cold weather. I would never have guessed that.

Thanks

T25 Hitop, Westy trim. http://www.sorebums.net/VW/controls.jpg Switch B turns on the level meter lights for the water and leisure battery. Switch A turns on light C. But I have not idea what the signiciance of that switch or light are. I guess its something obvious. Is it the 50mpg switch? Simon www...
