Re: Faulty fuel gauge and rev counter

Bentley is copyrighted but I believe it is on the net somewhere - best to buy a copy as it invaluable

Re: Dash Foil/PCB Options

Any suggestions for a way of sealing off the tracks again as and when I have everything working(currently the clock isn't getting power). I suspect my self adhesive slug tape will need securing!

Re: Dash Foil/PCB Options

To be fair to the guy he has been around VW's for donkeys years and provides a good service( I been to see him and buy bits on more than one occasion) - some of the prices do seem a bit all over the place . For example: "Diesel T3 T25 Rev Counter with pod - just the rev counter and housing - Yo...

Switch wiring routing

https://i.imgur.com/zjHDtIr.jpeg Couple more questions . What is the order for the right hand switches? The wires seem a little tight in which ever way I fit the blinker switch and the fog switch?  Guess I could refer to the handbook? Also the steering column doesn't seem to butt up properly where ...

Re: Dash Foil/PCB Options

I have been looking at various options for repairing the foil, came across this via a discussion on the Samba https://www.serial-kombi.com/fr-FR/transporter-t3-t25-tableau-de-bord-feuille-nappe-de-circuits-imprimes-de-bloc-compteur-et-instruments-de-bord-1600cc-diesel-1/1981-7/1984-livree-avec-noti...

Re: Dash Foil/PCB Options

Ignoring them for now - what is going on with the two white wires? The two tracks at the bottom of them appear to be shorted. Frankly it looks a mess at present, too much solder and not enough flux on clean copper. I wouldn't use single core wire if it isn't secured, in a vehicle it will vibrate an...

Re: Doka - work manuals/guides

I think there's a lot of similarities. But when I looked through there wasn't anything on the Doka Rear seat/doors. The electrics section didn't show the battery in the engine bay, so I imagine a few of the junction boxes and fuse locations may attdiffer. I'm not that worried but wondered if there ...

Re: Swedish Syncro Doka - Fogs and Washer Pump

  I have got the bulletin - a more general point is how I can access the rear of the fusebox to check the wiring as its so tight - I can't really see what's plugged where? Disconnect battery earth then you can safely unscrew the screw on the bottom of the relay/fuseboard and lift it up and off the ...

Re: Doka - work manuals/guides

I've just received through the post the Bentley manual (I see why the postage was high now!) but after a quick glance through, it doesn't seem to cover the Doka. Are there other manuals or guides that cover the commercial vehicles? Most of the information is still relevant but there's bound to be a...

Re: Opening 1/4 light frames

you could delete the opening 1/4 light but that would mean changing the seal, glass and bar, but they are more readily available and cheaper - they tend to leak air and water less too, once fitted nothing to go wrong. If you have a Caravelle with the 'chrome' trim it might be less of an option Mick...

Thanks Rob - the van came with a replacement Bar but the frame itself has disintegrated.
