Agreed on the likelihood of it being a diesel but I’m running a 2.0 16v ABF in my DOKA. This was an option in the passat.

I remember running a Polo filter on a 2.1 with a Speedshop exhaust a few years ago. Just looked it up and it was part no. 030 115 561

I believe it is m30x1.5

Cheap dies are available for around £15, either that or a thread file if you are careful.

This nut on eBay is listed as 18x1 and the one I measured was 1.0 as measured with a thread gauge.

What’s your plans with the spindle? Is it damaged?

I’ve just measured the pitch at 1mm and the od of the spindle at 17.9.
I’m going for M18x1.

On my Gipsy I reused the original enclosures and switch and replaced the innards with stick on warm white LED strips.

How long have you owned the van?
If it’s a recent purchase is it possible the wire was just to conceal the faulty alternator?

I’m thinking it could be the X relay?

I saw a rear seat and base at Busfest, Simon Davey was selling it. I think he used to go by the name of spannerboy on here.

I think the 2 terminals shown with wires attached are probably the battery +ve (m8) and the exciter wire (m6 bolt appears to have a blue wire?)
I think the spade may be a W terminal for the tacho feed on a diesel possibly.

These on eBay but Chinese so made of chocolate I’d imagine.

Not sure if this is the same but certainly similar. https://lpgautosupplies.co.uk/shop/motorhome-and-caravan/vapour-tanks-valves-and-fitting-kits/valves/manual-outlet-shut-off-for-a-4-hole-vapour-tank/ I’ve always found Tinley Tech great to deal with and they may be able to point you in the right di...

You should be able to get a voltage reading at the alternator on the stud that the big red wire is attached to.
You are testing the split charge relay with the vehicle running? Just to clarify.
