I 100% get the “use what you have” theory.

But… what were they thinking!?

Really weirdly, for some reason I have an original vw panel which is the inside part of a window van for exactly that place. It has been kicking around the workshop for years. I will check tomorrow to see if I still have it. It may not have the same aperture as your window though but I can send you...

Ah, thanks. I’ve got a rusty tailgate, was wondering if I can chop that up to use the window surround. And yes, some small 90’ brackets will do the trick.

I got some interior panels for my van, however the panel opposite the sliding door seems to be missing what it attaches to! I’ve always thought the van looks like it’s missing something! https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20260315/72b35fe5c77325862cb45e925b1ee690.jpg It attached to th pillar here towa...

Good morning all. I’m Barny, I’ve been here a while and had a few questions answered but thought it’s time I did an official intro and say hi. I’m over in Ireland, don’t see too many VW’s this side. Had plenty of VW’s a Passat as my daily, a T4, two mk1 golfs and a Mk3 golf. This is my first T3. Kne...

Hi, I’ve been rebuilding my van for the last 12 months, it got delivered on a trailer and I’m almost ready for its first test. But I’m having an issue with the cooling system. Apologies this is my first t25 and I definitely jumped in at the deep end! Originally a 1.9 petrol, converted to 1.9 1Y dies...

Thanks,

I’ve taken the aux belt off, unfortunately the numbers are so worn it’s unreadable. I’ll pop into my local friendly autofactors and have a chat. I’m pretty sure the guy I bought it off said it was from a golf, but he said a lot of stuff… [emoji1781]

I have a 1900 1y conversion in my van and want to do a belt change on it. Unfortunately I don’t know the source of the engine. I’m looking at serial combi at the t4 1900 belts and they have 1991-1994 & 1994-2003. Is there a way of easily identifying which engine I have to ensure I’m buying the r...

Horn is all working again, thanks for your help.
