No its definitely the thermostat and the cable runs via a wheel into the engine bay.

BTW the thermostat doesn’t move at all so I guess it’s u/s.

My previous comment was about uploading a photo rather than unbolting the thermostat.

But I suppose cutting the cable would have the same effect?

can unbolt the thermostat with it still in its bracket and it should toward the flaps opening them, Wasn’t quite sure what that meant. Do you mean if I unbolt the thermostat that the flaps will open. If so I’ll try that - Thankyou. Mind you I’ve just tried to put the Just Kampers cover in it because...

Thanks

I’m afraid that’s beyond my skillset but hopefully my description is adequate

I have a VW T25 air cooled with 2 litre CU engine I don’t think the thermostat is working and I had read that when it fails it does so in a safe position - presumably with the flaps open so the engine does not overheat. I don’t seem to be able to attach a pic but I hope this description suffices. Th...

Nice One. Thanks.

Went out and fiddled with the connector and sprayed a bit of WD40 and with a bit more wiggling it works. Hopefully it will last.

Dash binnacle in serious need of repair though - just one retaining lug still intact!

Have got an MOT coming up on my 1982 T25 2 litre air cooled. The direction indicator tell tale light on the dash is not working although the indicators actually work and you can hear the tell tale. Not entirely sure whether this is an MOT fail or not but would like to put it right in case it is and ...

OK thanks

Just a further thought. The seal between the plastic pipe and the later tank is where the pipe enters the tank ? However, what I'm not sure on is whether any additional hardware is needed at the other end where the filler cap is or is there a new seal required at either end of the plastic pipe? Be g...

dont mess, just swap the fill pipe to late too, or youll be doing it again..... Ok cheers that works for me - so use late tank with late pipe (48mm plastic)? In case anyone else doing this, this appears to be the seal to allow a 48mm pipe to be used in place of 68mm https://www.justkampers.com/251-...

I've read that early T25 petrol tanks such as mine (1982 2.0 A/C) have a 68mm metal filler pipe and that at some that was changed to a 48mm plastic pipe. Pretty sue my tank is leaking and just wondering if it is possible to use a later tank (I can source a good used one) either with my original meta...

OK thanks will have a go at that -but also see below. Bit of a development today in that the van started and kept going. I didn't drive any distance as I didn't want to be stranded. But it did occur to me that the issue may be connected with the coil and/or the ignition amplifier and that when these...

Thanks - will check the hose but how do I check the diaphragm without removing dizzy? Suppose it's possible that diaphragm in original dizzy went and now this one is going or gone?

Got a problem with my 2.0 air-cooled Devon.It was running fine last week when it suddenly cut out. Restarted it but just kept cutting out. Eventually it just wouldn,t start at all. rac came out and he thought it was a duff distributor- it's running the original spec electronic set up with hall sende...

Travelling down the M5 today heard a might metallic bang. Turned out the frontmost U shaped latch receiver on the pop top of my T25 Devon had been ripped clean off. Upon inspection it looks like the two holding studs have sheared off. Therefore I'm thinking of trying to drill these out and put new s...
