What's people experiences with a4/ Passat gearboxes? Dose it actually work upside down? How dose the linkage work? What's the differences with flange sizes? I'm just playing with ideas, would like to do a pd conversion with a 6 speed one day. But also while my dg is still going well I'm thinking of ...

The speedo in my 89 1.9 wbx is giving me issues. The trip mileage doesn't click over, I've had it apart several times and know what has gone wrong with it but have never successfully fixed it and to top it off now the speedo needle is miles out. Dose anyone have any recommendations for someone who c...

I have just recently carpeted my panel van and no I just did the panels in the side door And I had a good chippy mate completely line the sides and roof. I would also recommend you put some insulation in under the panels, I used this silver bubble wrap stuff off eBay http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/...

Look for commercial van ply lining. its ok kev, I have a mate who is a top notch chippy, just need to get him motivated to come and do it :D and im going to buy a rock n roll bed fr...

hello!
im looking to convert my panel van into a "day van" sorta thing.
dose anyone know where i could find the measurements to ply line it?
have many of you done if before? what were the things you did?
is there any problems you overcame?

cheers, sam.

i was given one very similar to that, dosent fit, way to narrow, i have been playing around with mine for ages, made it wider, re spaced the slats ect but its been a b**tard to get to fit. so much so i have given up and hidden it in the workshop for now. so in a nut shell.. no it dosent fit.. unless...

Thaught that was normal tbh! My dg powered panel van did 59 at flat chat when I moved it to storage, mind u it was running like a bag of nails!
Now I have read this I will be setting the timing before I get her out for summer!

Pretty sure the wheel should hold the drum still once bolted down, and the 11mm bolts are only to hold the drum on when a wheel is removed, that's just what I know from working on cars and vans
I'd say you have had a lose wheel at some point
Have you removed the drum and had a look inside?

yeahh tell me about it! we use gsf a lot at work and are for ever getting the wrong parts but there prices out weigh it easily.
although i did notice that the part coming from heritage is also a hella part, im interested to see if this ones any diffrent

brought a hella fuel cap from gsf this afternoon only to find it didn't fit!
so i took the bracket off the filler neck and had a look and found that the tabs on the cap were way to wide.
so anyway i have ordered one from vw heritage with a new bracket.

anyone else had this problem?

excellent! thanks a lot
ill get some more posted up when I get started on it

thanks again sam
