I have serched the forum after noticing a very small diesel leak coming from the throttle arm on the pump housing. I found one post relating to this where a new seal was purchaed for just one english pound. I'm gonna ring the supplier in Poole on Monday. Is this a common fault and can anyone comment...

After that grey galvanising spray I used just a thin skim before prepping for paint.

I have recently repaired a couple of mine.I repaired pinholes with spot weld and bad bits with a couple of patches after using a spot blaster to eradicate all the rot first.
I followed up with a copious helping of wax oil sprayed inside the window housing.So far all is well...

I aquired a very good oil thrower from a petrol bell housing to relace my broken item and ordered a gen vw spigot.Thanks to Aidan who supplied a replacement input shaft ,input seal and input shaft clip. :ok :ok After a full day of prepping and with very helpful advice from Aidan I am all back togeth...

I did mine, but just did a patch job as i'm LHD as apposed to replacing the panel,turned into such a big job when I got the glass out I kind of wish I had replaced the lot. To do it properly you need the dash out as well as the glass.replace the panel,prep and paint then dash back in before the glas...

Here's the update... Shaft is toasted where it has rubbed against the remains of the thrower...The whole affair was being supported by the genuine vw oil seal on the bell housing so really glad I took the box out now. The remains of the oil thrower saved the bell housing and the missing piece of the...

Well I didn't plan to spend the day at home but it turned out that way.
Box out.Will take a look inside tommorow.fingers crossed

Here is the numpty question of the night. Do all our engines have cam belts ? .I have been driving mine for the last 12 months believing it would be a chain or something i didnt need to worry about.

Dont laugh too loud

Only the diesels have cambelts.

yep that's part of the oil thrower, chances are your bellhousing is knackered too, the oil thrower is an interference fit in it and must be absolutely centred; I'd expect the input shaft seal to be leaking and the bellhousing to be wet. The input bearing may also have failed or the engine may not h...

looks like the oil throw tube that sits behind the input shaft seal in the bell housing. you may get away with new bell housing , but will need to check main shaft bearing ect whilst apart. do you know the history of the box? has it always been in your van? any one done a clutch/removed the engine/...

Cheers for that,hopefully he will spot my plea or i will pm him.
