Many thanks Simon (Brickwerks) for the images and excellent document - In the two Girling Brake Pressure regulators I have opened - my DG Transporter 1.9 1985 and from a spare I found in the scrapyard - they only had the pin through the intertia piston - with no spring The spring version may be a ea...

If any one has a image of the spring set and / or ideally a spare I can buy please PM

I assume a light spring would go between the piston and ball ?

I could not find on any forum a internal image of the ball / piston set up only on different versions

thanks

Some of the T25 /Vanagon forums suggest syringing in some CV grease into the CV joints - I will try this first before removal work You can carefully syringe some Moly grease with a thin stiif pipe and syringe under the rubber gaiter on the drive shafts carefully Surprised that you still have a clunk...

Local VW garage here has been using Valvoline Durablend semi 10-40 and for our T25 1985 1.9 watercooled camper

GSF and Mill Auto only seem to sell the cheap oils which we avoid -

Used Fuchs dex 2 ATF and Fuch Hypoid 80-90 for diff

quality oil means longer life in my view

Had some problems with GSF oil seals for diff for Golf and had to do the work again with original VW diff seals Some of the cheaper exhaust silencers from GSF had problems and returned Don't wast money on the cheaper oils now stocked by GSF /Mill Auto and source quality Castrol / Fuchs / etc from in...
