AH! just found this on the wiki: VW_Electrics_fuse_box has it on fog lamp!

Could be the relay. (Its up inside on the left if I remember correctly).

Yeah, that is the only bit of fog light wiring there is but it only goes from lhs to engine bay junction box, where it just sits unconnected. There is nothing coming from the front into the bay that is not used as far as I can see. So am pretty sure I need to do all wiring from switch to fuse box to...

After 7 years or so I have just failed an MOT on a missing fog lamp. I have modified the RHS bulb holder and tracked down a dashboard switch. However, none of the wiring is there (I know some have it just not wired up). Does anyone know where I can get hold of a wiring diagram for the back of the fu...

Looks like he's bought the domain name but not got the website site built. If he's looking for a website designer / developer http://www.timpeat.co.uk I'd be happy to offer it in exchange for time taking a look at my clutch.

There is one in the "Kamper Manual Type 25 February 1982 to November 1990 1600 & 1700cc Diesel and Turbo Diesel".

You need a magnifying glass but its the only one I've come across.

I've just realised that my description of the problem as "juddering" might have been misleading. Its probably more like the bunny-hopping some people get when they first start learning to drive. I'll try to record it somehow to see if its consistent with a faulty clutch... Its gradually be...

Unfortunately new pipes aren't that readily available over here. I've tried every bosch diesel and vw parts shop I can find in Athens with no luck. I'll get some shipped out. Apart from the juddering the clutch seems to work fine. Apart from checking the mounts is there anything that does not involv...

Thanks for the offer of parts. I'm in Athens at the moment and have just been out to get two spares made up... although I might have to buy them off you if I keep going through them at this rate... I've had the clips on on two of the three occasions its failed (could not get them on the time I bodge...

The pipe from the diesel pump to no2 has snapped three times in the last year. It's getting a bit frustrating. Anyone experienced anything similar or have any suggestions as to what I can do? The pump seems to be mounted securely but there is obviously something wrong. The first time it snapped I pu...

No the van is behaving fine at the moment and coolant and oil look don't look too bad. I'm about to do a fairly big trip across Greece on Wednesday which should help establish whether this is a persistent problem or not. Not being used to running a vehicle, I guess I am a little paranoid about anyth...

Thanks for the advice. Can I just check what I should be looking for in the oil / coolant. I drained the cooling system when I put a new pump and pipes in about 1000km ago. I used the pink recommended VW coolant to replace it. What should it look like if thinks are going wrong? In terms of the compr...

Wow that was fast thanks, Sorry, stupidly I forgot to mention that the van started fine after half an hour cooling down - and has been running ok ever since. (I shall try to E D I T my original post.) On your specific questions: The fuel is getting to the injection pump and there was no air in the p...

Sorry this is such a long post, I'd appreciate any advice as to how to approach this. Worrying development in 1.7 diesel (KY) 1988 T25 high top (4 gears + reverse). This weekend our van lost all power when driving up a slight incline, which it would not normally have had any difficulty with. I was n...

I know there are numerous threads discussing oil type but I cannot find one that covers my specific request. I have a 1988 1.7D T25 and am driving it in Greece (i.e. HOT). Can anyone advise on which engine oil I should be using?
