water fill

hi,

wondered if someone could help.

in the water fill up bit behind the reg plate.

is it best to keep that filled up with a mixture of antifreeze and water or just water?

If a mixture is best - how much of each is advised? 50-50?

Thanks for any help!

water top up behind number plate

Hi - I have a water cooled westfalia joker 1.9 petrol.

Seems I have over filled the small water tank behind the number plate - gone over the max mark.

Does anyone know how to empty it?

Any help would be great!

Thanks,

Fuel Gauge

hi there,

my fuel gauge on my van is very erratic - one minute it is half full the next it is nearly empty.

does anyone know if this would be fixable by a very green novice?

it is a westfalia joker 1985 1.9 petrol - if that makes any difference.

Thanks!

Re: fuel filler neck

thanks jim.

do you know if this would fit a 1983 westfalia joker 1.9 petrol?

Not sure if they vary from van to van?

Thanks!
