Your link doesn't work for me, maybe you can upload some pictures of the piece of plastic on both taps? (Use the black "i" above the text you type)

Are they different from other hubcaps? I bought mine secondhand. Most general suppliers of T3 parts sell them as well.

I still have my original CS. Can send you some photos of the engine bay if it would help?

I'm impressed. Lots of work done on this restoration, with lovely result!

This one:

Although it's probably not there on vans with windows all around?

I had water there too. It was the air vent higher up the side, to the rear of the sliding door.

Hi, I have never used a forum before so maybe I’m doing something wrong but when I tried to start my own thread I get a message saying ‘error: your post contains too few characters’ and it automatically deletes the text I have written?  Hi! Try writing a longer post :) Maybe a small introduction ab...

I bought a generic poptop that you have to make fit to you van yourself. As the roof of a T3 is more curved than average and has some humps I needed some wedged spacers. Had a guy at my work d3 print some with uv-resistant plastic, works a treat. It consists of multiple smaller pieces that connect l...

Oh noooo!!

At least I heave really enjoyed reading about it. And learned something as well. Good luck with the sale

Is there continuity between the relay and the bulb holder? (Or voltage at the light, same)

Interesting read! I was wondering about the change in legality of running LEDs on the 1st of april 1986, as you mentioned. Is that based on a physical difference or just some weird law-thing?

@Rik check Andy's signature, both are Syncros with either a TDi or a 2.5 scooby, he has the power and torque - the TDi has a gearbox that is specifically rebuilt to suit the engine Of course I understand that comparing his vans with mine is pointless. It is more that my van was delivered with a gea...

Sorry, I don't fully understand your question. I understand your engine is running poorly, can you elaborate on the symptoms and how it started doing this?

You can directly upload photos with the black "i" next to where you find the emojis.

It is probably by far the easiest to do a straight 1Y swap, although I have looked for them as well and didn't find much. Please, anyone correct me if i'm wrong, but the 1Y and AAZ should be very similar engines, but the AAZ is turbocharged and the 1Y is not. They should therefore be fine with the s...
