My 1987 1.6TD has failed it's MOT & now I'm left with a major decision. My wife thinks we've invested to much money into it already. Over the last 2 years I have bought; New Fuel Injection Pump New Turbo New Gear Lever New Alternator New Starter Motor New Battery New Timing Belt New Fuel Filter ...

Thanks guys Akjsimmo- I've pm'd you re the manifold

Thanks itchyfeet

I have a hole coming of the exhaust manifold. I posted a pic of it on VW T25 Facebook forum and was told on there. There is oil all up the air intake hose. I can email the pic to you

It was advertised as a 1.9 TD when I purchased it around 6 months. A couple of weeks ago I noticed that it's registered as a 1915cc petrol on the logbook so I couldn't actually tell you the engine size. I can't find the engine number either but I know it's a Diesel engine, sorry

I've been told my van is missing the oil pressure relief valve. Anyone know where I can get one from. Cheers
