Just fitted on of these brackets to help support the alternator as I also have an iffy stud. http://www.gowesty.com/tech-article-details.php?id=113 http://campervanculture.com/shop/vw-t25-t3-alternator-bracket-2-1-1-9-perol-wbx/ Hopefully this will finally address the problem of a loose alternator. ...

Thanks for the reply - much appreciated.

I'll check those items out and give you a shout for any bits.

Good afternoon all. I have an old Webasto HL18b (Petrol) heater that I picked up last year. I'm after some advice and wisdom before fitting it to my Westy. First things first..... Is it really wise to fit an old heater? TBH, aside from CO poisoning, I really don't understand what other risks come wi...

Before you go replacing all your hoses it may be worth checking that your not leaking gas into the coolant system.

You have the same symptoms i had. Mine was due to cylinder sealing ring failure.

All the best

Could be exhaust hitting body due to weak engine mounts. Either way I'd try and get a good look whilst someone else fires it up.

Update on this issue as I finally got around to this again. I have never been happy that the gauge is sitting high. I have now replaced almost everything in the cooling system (Temp Sensors, Dash Gauge, Radiator, Coolant, Water Pump, Thermostat, Thermostat housing) , I also had to rebuild the engine...

Thanks for all the comments, I have decided to live with it until the holiday season is over, but I'll be keeping a close eye on it until then.


Kind regards

Hi,

Could be wrong... but I am fairly sure the sender points towards the rear. Something tells me it will foul the side before tightening if you try and fit it the wrong way.

Thanks Martin,

I'll probably take another look at the gauge itself at the weekend, may even try and recalibrate it with some additional resistance as a last resort!

No worries Ghost, any help and feedback is always appreciated.

Evening All Yet another temperature gauge question, a bit long winded, please bear with me. The temp gauge is sitting just shy of 3/4, there is no evidence of actual overheating, the engine "seems" to be at the correct temperature, fan kicks in and out as it should, however gauge reading i...

Hi Jocko

Guess it depends what you need the awning to do, LHD or RHD, Bedrooms, Toilet, room for table, Free standing cupboards etc, etc....

If you not busy, get yourself over to the Busstopover this weekend, bound to be loads there to see.

Hi Gary Had to undertake the same job on our Joker hightop, used 3mm ply cut to shape using the original boards as a template. From memory the original boards should pop out once the skylights and the front curtain rail are removed, fitting is pretty easy too, although I also had to replace the batt...

I've found a movelite xl pro kamper for sale locally. Anyone any experience with one? As we now have a LHD Westie, we bought a movelight XLF (very similar, I think) 2nd hand recently and whilst we have only set it up in the garden so far it does seem pretty decent. We did need to order the internal...

Hi David I think you that the fuel balance pipe that crosses the top of the tank is damaged, usually one of the plastic ends goes brittle and breaks, if you follow the breathers in from the expansion vapour tanks under the arches you'll probably be able to locate the issue. http://www.brickwerks.co....
