Hi everyone,
I'm in the same process of moving from internal insulation to external one, I did read on here that you use silver screen ones.
Are they still in shape after few years?
Where can I buy them?
Any experience with truck style mirrors?

Thank you

We reach this result today and we were then stuck for the cranckshaft play once the flywheel is in position. Trims and shims on the cranckshaft were ok, we checked with the manual and a friend (and we had...

Do I need to do ...

WOW thanks for your reply. I'm trying to contact Thomas Koch that is selling some nice parts for our VWs and looks like he has the DJ cylinder from Kolbenschmidt. When he'll replies to my emails or phone calls I will have some news... About the camshaft I had red the thread but couldnt really unders...

Uhm... how should I fill them?

Hi, thanks for your reply!
What do you mean filled before fitting?
Aren't they meant to fill up once the engine starts?
