Sounds straight forward. Thanks Ian.

Hi, I drive a 1984 watercooled Auto Type 25 1.9L petrol I was working on my Type 25 today. the plan was to replace Drive flange oil seals for new shiny ones. Got cv joints disconnected. got access to seals, remove them to find out the new seal I bought were different (too big) to the old ones fitted...

Thanks guys.

Defo ATF for the Autobox but EP90 gear oil (according to Haynes manual) for the final drive.

Hi, I'm planning to treat my auto T25 final drive with some fresh and new oil. I've got already got some EP80 API GL4 gear oil but the haynes manual states that I should use EP90 API GL5!! Is there much difference between the 2 grades? Am I ok to use the EP80 oil or should I buy EP90 oil? What shoul...

I think this is the one I got from JK http://shop.justkampers.com/product_info.php/cPath/2_1024_1153/products_id/2750 I bought more grease as well (see wiki). It's a messy job but really satisfying once done. Strip them down (2 on either side of your van!) clean them, check them for wear, replace i...

Yep. they all look the same.

Cheers.

Carefully slip a greasegun end under the boot and regrease with a suitable grease .... this may cure the problem ... most likely in the short term at any rate. Long term it's new CV joint I bet. No problem BTW :wink: Ian. Thanks Ian. Are CV joints different for automatic vans? Where can I buy them?...

This sounds like cv joints. There is a quick cure for this noise. Do not take this diagnosis the wrong way. The grease around the balls has gone hard and allows them to knock together we find just pulling the rubber back and squirting a bit of oil usually liquidfys the grease to stop the noise. I c...

No clutch. It's an Automatic.
Actually, It could be the CV joints.

Hi, Just back from a 2 weeks holiday in France. The van has made it back but It has developed a knocking sound at the back!! The knocking only starts when engine is hot. (after approx after 1 hour drive) The water temp. is spot on. No overheating. And it's worse when I accelerate and turn right!! Wh...

Thanks. I will check all that.

The thermostat housing on my T25 is the old type. No plastic there, all metal.

Thanks.
I am planning a change of fluid very soon so it could be a good time to work on the thermostat housing.

Thanks.

Hi,

My van have just started to leak water from the thermostat housing!!

Not sure why!

Could it be the thermostat itself misbehaving?

Could it be a seal that needs replacing?

Or something else?

My van is a T3 1.9L petrol (DF engine)

The thermostat housing is the old type.
