yeh i have the same problem, i've asked around about this because i have the incorrect dipstick in my 1.9 diesel transporter . . i think the best bet is to get the engine number and then find the correct dipstick to match . . but i havn't looked in to it too much at the mo because i'm out of the cou...

hi colin, i really don't think that is an option.. if i were to drive it, it would be over considerably long distances, and my clutch fluid would surely drain out every time i stepped on the clutch . . the guys at the vw garage did have it moving but then couldn't keep it going . . and also i think ...

hey guys!! . . thanks for all the good advice and co-operation, it's all really appreciated, sorry i havn't managed to get back to any of these replies for a while.. let me update you on the story so far.. last time i was on here i was stuck in a place near lake garda in north italy, biding my time ...

yeh i understood that you meant 'if it is the slave cylinder' . . thanks for the clarification.. the leak is coming from a bit forward of the selector i think . . just in front of the gearbox.. or directly above the front of it .. if that makes sense . . anyway . . thanks for your consideration ewen.

ewen.. thanks so much for the good words . . and the picture.. so i was looking in the right place .. but now i can go back and look a bit closer and follow that leak . . also good info knowing that it 'shouldn't' take more than an hour to refit etc . . that is crucial information to know in a forei...

well i got under the van this morning . . and tried to find the slave cylinder (or anything that might move when the clutch pedal is down) . . i couldn't find anything that resembled what google images shows as a slave cylinder . . i looked around where the pedal is (without removing any panels) and...

kev thanks for the reply . . no drama you think? . .really? . . you're getting my hopes up... but excuse the ignorance here.. i have no idea where the slave cylinder is or what i would be looking at.. what arm would move etc . . however, i can certainly pass on this information to the mechanic who w...

hello there fellow t25ers . . i have a 1.9 diesel and have been travelling extensively over the last few months when all of a sudden... my clutch has failed on me.. . or is it the gearbox?? all of a sudden i couldn't select any gears.. and when i could the clutch wouldn't work and i lurched forward ...

yes it is a 1.9 diesel [not turbo] but don't know exactly from which vw it came . . .

so would the quantities you provided, ian hulley, be correct for that engine?

thanks for the info guys!

i have a major oil leak . . but the incorrect dipstick? what is the procedure here?

any help much appreciated.

when i had air before, i could see it because i had a transparent hose attached .. . but the replacement the garage put on is not ..

what should i do to check or rectify the situation of air in the hose . . ?

thanks for your help kit.

would 'run back' be a cause of the stalling as i described?

yeh air in the line was the problem before (apparently) . . but now the symptoms are different . .

got a guy having a look at it later . . any more suggestions/thoughts would be good . . thanks

hi there, i posted on here a week or two back about power loss problems with my 1.9 diesel van, which was rectified quite simply with new fuel filter and fuel line . . however, since that time i havn't driven it much except for to the shop and back around the corner . . yesterday, i started it up an...

yeh i should've mentioned that it's a 1.9 diesel (non-turbo) . . i took it to a garage yesterday and was lucky to find a friendly english speaking chap in there who had a quick look at it . . he found a couple of things that he wants to out-rule before fully diagnosing it . . mostly the fact that th...
