Before you do anything drastic with the fuel tank I'd check the Voltage Regulator behind the dash cluster. It is a 10V regulator, and is often the culprit with this sort of thing. Here's the Wiki Info to start you off. :ok http://wiki.club8090.co.uk/index.php/VW_Electrics_Non_working_temperature_and...

When mine failed (2.0 CU), I would just be driving along and it would suddenly die, randomly to begin with. After five minutes it would restart. Eventually I could only travel a mile and it would cut out and then take longer before restart. I can 2nd that, this is exactly how the problem manifested...

Just a little update, I was window shopping today online and saw that Brickwerks now sells this bush for £10.92p :ok https://www.brickwerks.co.uk/gear-linkage-guide-bush-t3-early.html https://www.brickwerks.co.uk/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/fb92cc03449b3a3f4af43a3c96e9bb3d/t/3/t3711207.jpg H...

Kinda depends if you still have the original mechanical pump, or an after market electric pump. I have an electric pump and it is under the van screwed on to the chassis around 30cm-50cm from the fuel tank. There should be an in-line fuel filter before it too. Can't really help you with the location...

Ever wondered how many litres the gauge is actually showing in the tank. Useful stuff :ok Here's some related info that I recorded whilst tracing a fuel gauge fault a while ago. 3 points across the fuel gauge and the required voltage for that point. Might be useful to somebody ? http://i909.photobu...

. . . . . . . Oh, and in your forum account settings change your signature to be your van details/engine details.

Then when you post with questions and queries other forum users won't need to keep asking what you are driving.

It's probably nothing serious, but better safe than sorry.

Over the weekend I discovered a number of electrical gremlins when I tried my headlights for the 1st time in a couple of months (Having been fine when the van was MOT'd) Seemingly a random set of electrical faults to do with the headlights & indicators. Headlights blinked when the hazards were o...

FYI using chrome browser theres a little icon in the address bar that will translate the site for you into English.It translates very well :) :ok I've now fitted the replacement bush that I ordered from Germany and it fits/works just fine. Much quieter gear selection. :D http://i909.photobucket.com...
