Thank you for yr replies synchroandy&kevtherev. not rich & not looking for a struggle to make it work,just that I have this car looking at me;seems a waste! log book states year 2002 81kw & ident no.TMBAP21U528569594 Could it be fitted as a non turbo? I'm confused

I have a 82 t25 camper with 1.6d & a 1.9tdi (110bhp) out of a skoda octavia yr 2000.
does anyone have any experience of this,I would appreciate some info;

I know many of you will be fed uo with the likes of me & my problem. I have an 82 T25 camper resprayed & ready to roll(nearly)! engine 1.6d (skin on rice pudding pulling a challenge!!) I also have a skoda octavia 1.9tdi(110bhp) motor ,still in car yr.2000?(too old to accept universal chip ch...

these photos show the old gearlinkage that arrived with the 'old model' working g/box that I have now fitted. It also shows the gearbox end bits that are missing! :? https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-oWYbbCzZB18/Uj_vGVeny4I/AAAAAAAAFsE/2FE6uxcqBXI/s640/P9230129.JPG https://lh6.googleusercontent.com...

The plot thickens! after much scrubbing the codes on the broken g box is DY(10.82-84 ) 1.6D & the code on the 'new'fitted g/box is DM (78-82) 1.6D Yes,a diesel g/box!? there is a DN Aircooled(78-80) so can only imagine the same g/box was used for both? I also presume that the same early gear cha...

thank again Aidan & thanks to billy739 for yr info the the linkage shown is that of the original 1.6D,had a good look at it & its pretty heavy stuff so I guess thats its original shape. I'm in france(last 25yrs for my sins)& most transporters are diesel,so I may take up yr offer of a pet...

Aiden,thankyou for yr rapid reply. I have no probs with the instalation having fabricated/modded the front mounting. drive shafts etc all OK,I think. Am I right in thinking that I must now locate an early petrol g/change linkage to activate the gear change? I am in N.Wales in spring 2014 (for a coup...

I sent the links to the photos before I had written about the problem! I have already asked for advice concerning adjustment of g/change, could not locate all gears. Eventually realised the gearbox was duff(no 3rd or 4th) located another 4speed 1.6l D box.(all gears working!) fitted it & discove...

I have a t25 hi top camper van with a 1.6 diesel /4 speed & have been offered a spare gear box from a T3 air cooled 1.6 petrol 4 speed. Are they the same,or can one change the bell housing or something? What g.box's go with which engines? would appreciate some info.

wind nippy but a nice enough day to twiddle with the linkage! the bracket was indeed behind not in front of the casting. The gear lever now feels 1,2,3&4 but in reality the only fully meshed gear is 1st. Thankyou for yr info Aiden,I will muster the troops and give it a go. Everyone is occupied w...

thanks for yr comments & solutions. Its a 4 speed box(1st is forwards) so thats a relief. Dont need too many extra complications,there's enough to tidy & sort out already. I will fiddle with that bracket when it warms up. The high top wont go into the workshop without a lot of work moving st...

Have just bought an 88 1.6l diesel hi top camper. Has just had a new clutch& was missing drive shaft bolts & clutch slave cylinder connection. We repaired this,jump started her& checked for leaks,overheating etc. Engine sweet but no gear selection! Eventually I found 1st & 2nd over w...
