Hi All. I have got coolant pouring out of my vehicle from the front to back rubber hoses that go to the heater matrix the hoses were not strapped and have worn through which is super annoying. I have googled and checked the wiki but have not found a how to for replacing just these hoses. Quick quest...

Hello, I am at the end of putting my van back together after fixing the bodywork and repainting with Rustoleum. However I used a satin finish of the Rustoleum Combicolor and it seems incredibly easy to scratch it. I am sure it is well cured, although maybe not fully, I am on the south coast and the ...

Thanks for your reply, the dimensions are useful.
I will get some made up and fitted to the van.

Cheers.

Hello. I wonder if anyone can help - I have made my van bodywork a lockdown restoration project. I have a slight issue - the RHS brackets for my sliding door track cover were so badly corroded they no longer exist. This is for the drivers side of my vehicle which does not have a sliding door, I cann...

Hey ZsZ.
Thanks for your response and your advice, the EKTA plan is super useful.
I have been digging for second hand parts and found one, the issue I have is the union with breather pipe at the fuel tank.
I am going to try and sleeve it with a plastic adapter and see if that works.

Hello. I am just about to refit my fuel tank after refurbishing everything. I have had overflow fuel leak issues when I fill up with a full tank of fuel and lived with petrol smells for some time now, so I have replaced all the grommets, float, breather pipe and valves etc. However the filler neck b...

Thanks for your responses - guess I am not doing badly then at around 22-24mpg.
All the best.

Hi All. Thanks for your help regarding these issues. I was getting so fed up with the poor running of my vehicle that in the end I invested in a reconditioned Pierburg 2E3 carburettor, manifold and pancake manifold from Roger at Bromyard VW. The quality of the workmanship is great and after a few in...

Thanks will do...

Quick update to my situation. I have replaced most of the fuel lines in my vehicle now, new stainless clips, which needed doing - but I still had the issue of non-starting. So I bit the bullet and bought a top quality Pierburg pump from Brickwerks. This has got the van going and got me to an MOT sta...

Hi All. Thanks for all your advice - sorry for not replying sooner but I was waiting on supplies and having the time to have a look at this issue. I have replaced a lot of the vacuum hoses and removed the fuel filter between the pump and the carb. I have also cleaned the old distributor contacts and...

Hey A1. Thanks for your reply. I have ordered some vacuum hose, distributer cap and a rotor arm and will also order some new fuel hose from Brickwerks. I am wondering if having 2 x fuel filters installed could be part of my issue and contributing to this sluggish running. I am also wondering if gett...

Hi All. I wonder if anyone can help with issues I am having with fuel pumps and lumpy running with flat spots. The history is as follows - I had issues in 2012 with what seemed to be fuel supply so I invested in a carb rebuild kit and a new fuel tank - this was fitted by a trusted mechanic and all s...

I am about to implement this fix with my van - I collated all the fix information from SKELL into a pdf - how do I get this placed in the WIKI?

Thanks SKELL.
