only way to reduce the revs is to have an engine that produces more power at lower revs VW (et al) went TDi, clever fuel injection direct into combustion chamber with a turbo to give it the air to burn more fuel more efficiently And mate that to a gearbox with more ratios closer together so the engi...

Vacuum brake servo came in in middle of November 1982, from chassis D004279, but some vehicles, for some markets, that had the hydraulic clutch upgrade still had no servo upto the end of July 1983, this may include some of the last of the early 1.6 diesels that had the 091 gearbox, rather than the l...

If you are keeping the engine then any of the diesel water cooled era (1983 model year on) 4 speed gearboxes apart from the ABH and ABS (1.6 TD 4 speeds) will work - going to a 5.83 or 5.86 final drive will mean it will cope with larger tyres (15" rims do not necessarily mean larger diameter ty...

just google diesel heater fuel pump, all the Chinese made ones that are used in the £100 (or less) heaters have one, as cheap as £6-10, connectors will vary - they are basically copies of the Eber made down to a price but lots of peeps are happy with them, the known issues are pretty well covered in...

Most technical info is pretty readily available to garages if the choose to avail them selves of the info, the good ones use things like Autodata to quote for jobs as that gives a guidline time and materials and other info - it all used to be printed tyre size and pressures / steering geometry poste...

that's your problem with 1,3 and 5 selection then

You do not need a relay in the starting set up, just have it as factory and sort the original wiring if needed, wiring diagram is readily available, the connection from the fuseboard should go directly to the starter

is the rear bush plate mounted on the front side of the boss on the gearbox ?

I don't know if there's a Bentley manual for T4 but wwiring diagrams are available, Google came up with this straight away on Ebay Link to electronic manual

and Brooklands do a petrol T4 manual which is probably most useful thing to have if you own one Amazon listing for petrol manual

Tom you don't say what year van you have so I can't tell you pin numbers But basically you need to measure the resistance to earth of the pin in the 14 pin connector that is the gauge signal from the tank - this reading varies depending on fuel level - full is around 35 ohm and empty is around 270 o...

I pm'd op with my phone number as easier to talk than post, and he was online at the time, but he didn't read the pm and logged out, so I'll add a bit here I have a good used LHD steering rack in stock, complete with track rods I suspect the rack play isn't the only issue however, if the rack shaft ...

okay the selector ball on the gearbox is stuffed, the rust on the metal part has split the collar of the ball and the ball has pushed up the steel shaft so the shaft is interfering with the bottom of the cup you can either buy a whole new ball assembly 251 711 221 F, but usually cheaper and better i...
