a jar of brake fluid is great for stripping old dinky toys. obviously remove the tyres and don't do any with windows and interiors.

all the breather hoses never had any sort of clip fitted even from the factory.

i dunno what you need, go figger it out!

it's a bit late now but i would've suggested fitting a new big 36mm nut as well.

of course other people will say this is overkill and i don't always use a new one myself on type 1 bus and bug injins.
i never had one fail yet but i do know of several cases...................

no.

well he denies quite categorically that his name is jean louis and says the cogs are sold and on their way to austria.

i did something similar 2 years ago: http://forum.club8090.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=37&t=117301&p=7882951&hilit=diesel+gearbox#p7882951" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; photos are here: http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=554838&highlight=transmissio...

they're TANDWIELEN and pretty old stock, he paid 25000 belgian francs for them.

i dunno either. :mrgreen: by the way, there's a belgian guy offering me a set of brand new 3rd and 4th gear cogs for the AFN box, he wants €400 if yer interested............ :P pics are on a swiss members only forum so i can't post them here, maybe the link will work for you? http://vwbusforum.ch/do...

well done aidan's brain!

i've never yet managed to find out where i can buy the little hat filters. in my experience (which is not extensive) about 50 percent of bad fuel delivery from injectors was this screen blocked up with tank sediment. See posts from me dated 16 May 2012 about half way down this page. You can see why ...

i'd hardly call the disc type "aftermarket", it's simply a different way of doing things and not some mega cheapo idea invented last week in bulgaria to soup up donkey carts. what i got were the standard pintle type and i got the last 5 they had in stock (ordered 4!). so as in the samba th...

? You can't just put a jubilee clip on them, the hose tail is supposed to be held on with a swaged collar. course ya can, how are they attached to the rail? :P aidan, yes a lot of the links are dead on posts from several years ago since they refer to parts then on offer by various companies. i foun...

240 injector has different hose connection which you would have to replace from what I can see the ones i ordered from FCP euro in the USA last year came with hose crimped on, but it was too long so i cut a bit off. hard work? :rofl All the google images for Volvo 240 show later O-ring type injecto...

getting them "rebuilt" is an urban myth, all they do is clean them. i'd rather spend a few quid more and get 4 NEW ones. avoid the "cult" hype with the term VW BUS and look for VOLVO 240 injectors. there's 2 types but it should be obvious which one is the same as a wasserboxer. :...
