Hiya Billy, yes running on all 4 cylinders the far right plug was slightly rich running when changed. engine recently had new filters, oil, plugs etc, timing was also done. it's driving pretty much as it always have done, occasionally stalls when cold. Hiya Ian, have checked the exhaust over fully a...

The cable clip that ties the cable to the dragging arm, on the other side it looks like a kinda push fit ring that tidies the cable up. http://www.vwheritage.com/vw_spares_NCA ... try_GB.htm looks like it but out of stock. Yes I believe he took the revs upto 2000rpm. The CO reading was 0.080 max bei...

Hi all, well after a few years of care free MOT testing came to end with a bang! I have managed to rectify a couple of the issues but there are two outstanding. 1. and it's a minor one, is that I need to acquire a handbrake cable bracket for under the van, any advice where to source one or if there ...

Found the leak!!!!!!!!!!!! It's leaking from the old fuel pump that is still in situ even though bypassed to a new electric fuel pump! now need to get the old one off somehow and blank it off properly! See why not taken off originally as screws to get to are a bugger to get to!...............Relieve...

It's a 2.0l Aircooled engine, really can't see exactly where from, top all dry, leak seems to middle area but could be just run/drip point really difficult to see where from at the moment.

Have been running the van fine for the last week or so. Not had any leaks since got the van. Today went out after the van sitting for 2 days and it appears to have dropped the whole contents of the oil out onto the road...no warning leaks just a straight evacuation of all the oil! Cannot see where i...

I cheated after failing to figure it out about how to get in the bag even with the video and waited till the good lady of the house rescued me, although as it took most the lounge up gave me an opportunity to sit in it....as only way to watch TV this evening! The sad thing is she got all done in a m...

Thanks for sharing the info! well it arrived today and like a big kid had to put it up in the lounge...bugger its big was an after thought. Think its ideal as a...

Being very new and just getting my head round four wheels, one of my first purchases earlier this week was a Haynes manual more because of habit rather than anything else. Haynes I found useful sometimes for visual images and basic processes but hopefully Wiki & forum will be where the real info...

Great photos looks like you had a great time and nice sunshine, what great little adventure.

This is such a helpful thread for me, I think a fair bit of investigation is going to be needed first, then sort out the parts. Starting to realise it's going to be a labour of love this and my motorbikes are gonna have to sit in the garage on hold for a bit...even though they are easy to work on mu...

Right might wait until end of weekend and try and get a manual tomorrow and check out where to get parts locally.
