I need to change my front seat belts as my current ones take ages to retract and are looking a little bit past their best. I've looked around and I can only see the Securon ones that are sold by companies such as JustKampers. I have a Securon seat belt in the back of the van and I am happy with it, ...

You are looking for a 25 year old design :shock: but have you looked at http://www.vwbusshop.de/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Cruz, thank you for your reply. I had checked their website and didn't see that they offered this pattern, but I have just sent them an email. I ...

Hi, I have an '87 Westfalia poptop and the rear seat has worn through. It didn't look too bad for a long time, until my 2 year old daughter decided that it would be a great idea to pick at it and so now I need to replace the seat cover, as it has a dam great hole in it. I've done the standard and go...

I am currently trying to find the hose that goes from the dalek cap, as I can't seem to find it on VW Heritage. That hose is not under any pressure, so any "rubber" (type) hose that will fit will do just fine. Your local motor factors will likely have summat suitable for very little money...

You can read the build thread here https://club8090.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=37&t=80287 :ok MM Wow, now that is a project, I will bookmark it, as I found it a really interesting read and thank you for documenting this as you went along, as I am sure that a lot of people will find it very int...

Trouble is Ghost, your right so its difficult to add more :) Sensor on the expansion tank shouldn't leak, but it is worth drying the area and checking where the water comes fom - the sensor is in a low area so if you have a leek for example from the blue cap it can run into that area and make it lo...

£1000 to "not" sort a coolant leak :shock: :shock: Ummmm... Others may wish to comment ;) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Yes you have the "T" pieces correctly identified. I would check all the thin pipes are clear. Yes I would replace the Dalek cap with a Brickwerks one ( I bet they sell ...

Would it be worth me stripping down the cooling system and checking each individual hose for blockage then? I would for sure check all the thin ones and the "T" pieces by blowing water through them (a hose pipe) I am currently trying to find the hose that goes from the dalek cap, as I can...

The other question, of course, is why your engine is pressurising the cooling system so much that coolant's not just escaping but escaping under so much pressure that it's getting past the engine lid... Have you fitted a new (decent make = Brickwerks) "Dalek" cap (the blue one. These some...

Not seen a switch like that either, i am guessing it isn't original as the t piece is held in by jubilee clips not the spring clamps the factory uses. Can you run the engine up to temp with the lid off and (carefully) look to see where the coolant is escaping from? The system should pressurise, alt...

hi i had a problem for ages with water leaking in my expansion tank i replaced the sensor and sealed it more times only to find there was a small split in the tank very hard to see until tank taken out.a new tank and no more probs. Thanks for the reply 'Hammy44', I have already got the expansion ta...

<shrug> Nothing like that on our DJ. I'd just swap that for a straight hose without the T-piece added in, and forget it ever existed. The other question, of course, is why your engine is pressurising the cooling system so much that coolant's not just escaping but escaping under so much pressure tha...

Hi, I appreciate that there are a couple of cooling issues reported on this forum, but I've had a good look and I can't seem to find one that answers my question. I have a '87 Westfalia 2.1L DJ, which has got a cooling issue. I've taken it to a couple of garages and they have replaced the radiator, ...

I've upgraded the leisure battery and have not really thought about solar, although it's a good thought. I do have a little solar unit which just trickle charges the main battery when it is parked up, but doesn't do anything for the leisure battery.

Have you done these upgrades to your van?
