Is this part the same as the "throw out bearing?"

I know remote diagnosing is tough and often impossible but getting ideas to the possible causes is helpful. As to quality parts. AA transaxle in washington did the rebuild on the transmission. All the interrior parts were replaced main shaft gears exct...IT was completly wrecked or worn. They have a...

I did not do the job, I am unsure. The clutch job the year ealier was done by a perfectionist and the clutch was good. But not after the tranny was removed and replaced

Hi folks, I have an 86 vanagon with the jx turbo diesel and manual five speed transmission. The transmission was completely rebuilt last year, after the mechanic put it back in (and commented on my shiny brand new clutch from the year before) I have been having issues. The one I cannot figure out is...

Well thank you all, this is indeed why I posteed this here. These may be standard issue in europe ( my van is a euro spec van) it is not stadard issue in north america. Many a mechanic has told me I cannot find a replacement and yet you refer me quick because it is standard.....thank you so much. It...

Ok yes I am interested in pricing and shipping. Mine has the second light in it. the center bulb and then a side bulb.So over hear this is not standard and I cannot find any replacement.....Am I missing something and getting bad info?

No luck posting closer to home actually. I have had a few parts I needed to order from abroad. Where would you go to get this part? I will check them out

Thanks,

Ok folks, a rock hit my headlight and it has a giant hole in it now. It is a 1986 multivan weekender from somewhere in Europe . IT has the jx engine and 5 speed transmission and round headlights with two bulbs inside. Hella brand h4 E1 20. Other numbers on the headlight are: 14551R7, 14551R20, 34495...

I appear to have the wrong crank pulley for sure. Anyone have part numbers?

It was the cv joint and expensive too. old one was dried out apparently...should I keep the old part?

Not sure what you are trying to do here, connect your LDA? I have experience with this part, I had mine fail here in Canada where I may have one of only a dozen or so jx engine on the continent. I ordered a new part from Germany and it took 2 months to arrive. I will tell you it is important. withou...

Well, I dunno what the heck. 2 days driving and no noise. The temp dropped below -20 C . We will see when it warms up I geuss.

wierdest thing

Have you tried all the regular stuff? Starter the kill switch wire on the injection pump . I have removed this a dozen times to mess with pipes and forgot to plug it back in or the connection was bad and it goes crankety crank crank forever without firing till I plug it back in How was it running be...

I will see about recording the sound...good idea The mechanic who most recently failed to diagnose the problem told me he kinda grabbed and hung on the connected pieces to the CV joint and could feel no play that was not normal for a ball and socket joint....his words not mine that said....I could n...

We jacked it up took off both rear tires and the brake cover then checked it all for play, noises excetera. There was nothing but a small amount of axle play. After that I had a shop do the same on a hoist and check the bearings and generally try to diagnose it. I was told they were unable to diagno...
