injector nozzles are flush to injector body A quick search on google images shows the nozzles protruding from the injector bodies. I can't believe that the nozzle should be the first bit to contact the washer then you torque down to 70Nm. This seems like too much pressure to put on the nozzle, sure...

Sorry about the really really slow reply. Got back from Cornwall about a week ago which throw up a new potential problem. Anyway back to the flame traps. The engine is a 1.9 AAZ with the newly refurbished injectors torqued up to 70Nm. The nozzles protrude 0.88mm to 0.93mm from the injector body. The...

Where on the injector should a flame trap seat? against the injector body or on the injector nozzle?  The reason why I ask is because while checking the old traps I found that 3 sat on the injector body with a gap between the trap and the nozzle, the 4th sat on the nozzle with a small gap (maybe 0.3...

Ta dah. Pictures I hope. And it's quiet enough to let it run while sleeping in the camper. Fan is 50mmx50mm £3.98 from Ebay. Dehumidifier was under £6.00 and the cheapest refill absorbent granules £2.50 for 2kg from Homebargains.

Just thought I'd share this. I added a USB powered fan to a "passive" moisture trap and ran a back to back test in my camper over the last 48 hours against a standard trap just to see if I was gaining anything.  As you can see the powered trap removed 208cc of water while the ambient only ...

The LED strips are used are something like these: LED OO HO O G QUALITY 9v 12v DC 3528 SUPAFLEX LIGHTING STRIP MODEL RAILWAY GAUGE | eBay Just measure your reflector and choose the correct length and colour temperature. The switch is something like this: 12V,24V Blue Led Rocker Switch 7-Pin ON OFF O...

Just a suggestion. In my Westy I stripped out the original 12v tubes and electronics from the lamps and stuck 2 LED strips on to the original aluminium reflector. 1 LED strip is a "warm" white, the other a "cold" white (i.e., brighter and closer to daylight) with a 3 way rocker s...

This is something I posted a couple of years ago, the PVM is still going strong (which is more than can be said for the diesel motor). This is the one I used, you need one with 5 wires to the rheostat which allows the unit to be completely switched off (unlike the first 3 wire one I bought which alw...

This is the one I used, you need one with 5 wires to the rheostat which allows the unit to be completely switched off (unlike the first 3 wire one I bought which always had a small draw). I removed and bridged the forward-reverse switch. Only fitted 4 months ago so I can't say how long it going to l...

You could look for an answer on the "Chinese diesel heater UK" group on Facebook

Yes it's doable, I'm half way through fitting one in mine. A 2kw heater just fits in the housing (FlowerW 2kw from Amazon). https://i.imgur.com/XZ94v71.jpg Will connect the original Ebersbacher hot and cold ducting but run the 60mm hot air duct up through the original 100mm duct. Cold air will come ...

Mustie1 loves his VWs. This is his resurrection of an 88 Westy. Loads of Beetle and split screen stuff with added motorbikes.

Can't help you but I followed your link to the camera and the second picture in the listing made me cringe, guy working with his head under the sill and the car on a small scissor jack. (shame there isn't a squashed hear emoji)

Stay safe

Proxxon have a good reputation in Germany. German quality.
I've not bought a sander but I have a spanner set and a couple of socket sets from Proxxon.

When replacing the speedo needle you'll see right on the edge of the speedo face at about half past six a tiny tiny white paint mark. the needle should be aligned with this, pushed home and then lifted carefully over the stop pin. https://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=292298 I fixed my o...
