I thought I had a DG engine - turns out it is SP.

All I can find out if that it is some sort of quieter/more efficient (?) version of the DG, with even less power.
The Swiss really know how to make things boring.

Can anybody point me to some more info about the differences?

No more starting problems with this setup, in case anybody finds this thread with the same problem.

I have tracked down a rear window leak, and have found some info on changing the rear window seals.

Can anybody tell me if a standard rubber will work with the westfalia double glazing?

Are they any recommendations for suppliers? Or are the ones from the usual suspects all good?

I have swapped to a facet posi flow pump, and it seems to be working much better.
Previous one was a pierburg which I thought would be a decent enough name to be good.

Hopefully driving up a mountain this weekend for some stress testing.

the saga continues...

I can hear the tone of the pump change when electric items are switched on... e.g. the indicators, reversing light, headlights...

That's not right is it?

This is the wiring diagram i followed:

I've been running it for the last couple of days, and it has started perfectly every time. Not sure what was going on there.

Need to do some stress testing next...

Thanks for everybody's help on this one. Will report back after our next long trip. Hopefully not from the side of the road.

Which pump did you get ? A pierburg. I think it is a bit much for this application, but a german "vw specialist" assured me it was right. I think I should have ordered a facet and waited a bit longer for it to arrive. I may still swap if it causes problems. Like this one: https://www.auto...

I have fitted an electric pump. And also replaced the bit of hose that I couldn't get to previously (the hard line into the engine bay) So the installation all went well - i.e. I had all the bits and didn't have to order the things i forgot, which is what usually happens... Now when I start it, it s...

we are back now, and it started when it had cooled down, but still required some start spray to get it going. Until now, i was convinced that it was the pump, but having taken the top off it while trying to start it, there was definitely fuel in it. Which makes me worry that this isn't the problem. ...

Just broken down after stopping for fuel in Obergoms.
Sat outside a Garage waiting for it to cool down.

It started up after a few seconds. Then cut out 100m down the road.

I am going to fit the electric pump as soon as I get home.
If that doesn't solve my problems, it's going in the bin.

Update on my problems... I have replaced the fuel pump push rod. Made no difference. It has been into the garage to get the carb set up properly. I tried, and my patience failed. While there, the tip came off the distributer rotor arm, so that got replaced. It was also due an emissions test, which I...

Ok, next question for the hive mind... We are at a cross roads with our van (high roof westfalia). We have potential rusty roof issues: https://club8090.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=171696 There are also some slight rust patches around the van as well, and I have cleaned them off. Mostly I h...

https://alanhschofield.com/ourparts/prod_3998591-Gutter-Repair-Section-1250mm-Length-8592-251817310A.html I've been eyeing those up... If i had my garage at home with all my kit, is have a bash myself. No way I'm paying to do it it here. Would bankrupt me. Only option is to take it back to the UK a...

Ok, I'll try that next time I am looking at it

Off on a non camping holiday today, so will be a while before I can try it...

front right is bad. and worse, it has clearly been botched in the past as the flap of metal is not even present as rust.. it has clearly been taken off and a load of sealant lobbed on top. http://zoona.co.uk/files/JOY/rainrailfrontright.jpg I don't have the time, the space or the tools here to do th...
