Ok have found out that Aircooled mechanical fuel pumps are obsolete!!!! Apparantly best bet is to fit an electric one instead. Any ideas on how to do this or where I might find a guide on how to do it. I have 3 days otherwise I'm off to bug jam in a Mitsubishi people carrier which is not something I...

Definately petrol unfortunately thanks for the reply. Guess I might be off to GSF tomorrow then.

I have a 82 Aircooled bus . I've noticed a fuel leak underneath my engine today, whilst working on another engine prob. Tracked it down to the area around the fuel pump (was dripping off the lower torx bolt which connects it to the engine. Immediately consulted the trusty manual and guessed it was p...

One more thing, van did always making a high pitched whirring sound when starting for a split second ? Could this have been a sign of a starter motor on the way out???

Hi all I have an 82 Aircooled 2 litre auto T25. Have had no problems and have used it every couple of weeks for weekend fun. Having been very busy have not used it for about 4 weeks. Came to start it and nothing just a click from the motor. Lights come on dash and headlights dim when I turn the key ...

Cheers for all your replies guys very helpful. Problem now solved which was two fold but very simple. New bulb required and some cleaning up of the connector in the rear light cluster and hey presto instant light. Booked in for MOT next Monday fingers crossed

I have an 82 Aircooled bus (auto), The rear fog lamp has never worked and with the man from the ministry due to give it his seal of approval in 2 weeks time I need to get it sorted.

Hmmm now I'm confused two opposing views???

Does anyone know if later sliding door handles will fit my 82 Aircooled van? I have seen a lot of later handles up for sale both second hand and new but can't seem to find any early ones anywhere. I was out on a cruise this weekend and got to look at a few later T25's and other than being slightly s...

I have inherited a rather nice set of 15inch VW alloys. Does anyone make adaptors to convert the 5 bolt pattern on t25's to four bolt. If not I'm gonna sell em and just but some 5 bolt alloys with the proceeds but would be a shame as I really like em.

Anyone know of any t25 friendly bodywork specialists in the midlands. Preferably as close to Birmingham as possible. I dont need any major work (cab steps, a bit of sill welding) but want someone I can trust and recommendations are always a good thing to have.

Hi all

Can lowered springs (60mm) be run with standard shocks. If so what effetc will this have on the ride quality. I really want to get my bus lower but can't run to the cost of shocks and springs at the mo. Any advice would be a great help cheers in advance

thanks guys lots of useful info as usual guess im going shopping this weekend!!!!

I have an 82 bus (not camper) the middle row of seats had been removed before I got it but I still have the rear set which I plan on retaining and probably converting to a r & r bed. MY question is would a van of this age originally come with rear seat belts. It currently has none and I need to ...

Need to get a jack for my van but unsure whats the smallest I can get away with safely?? Am I ok with a 2 tonne or is a 3 tonne the only way to go?
