Hello all, I have an 87 multivan 2 wd with an AAZ fitted. I think the time to replace my fuel tank is quickly approaching. I have seen an 85 ltr tank advertised on a German site, does anyone know if this size tank is available in the UK :?: That would be the South African tank. Any vendor dealing S...

I am using H&R purple springs (lowest they offer) on my 1988 2wd Doka (T25 crewcab). The ride was harsh due to the suspension bottoming on the bumpstops. If you examine the upper shock covers on the from dampers, you wil see that there are 5 washer like discs cast as part of the upper portion of...

Well I filled in the "Parts Request Form" page a couple of days ago but I haven't heard anything back since Jonathan, I spoke with Jeff. He said he saw your order and will send you a reply. Keep in mind we are on a different time zone. Your request came to him after normal business hours ...

Checked with my guy at: www.vanagonparts.com He sells the OEM generic ones as well. Just sent one to Scotland. Cost US$15 for the part plus $14 shipping. That's 15 quid to you. Go figure.

Hi guys I've done some searching and found this link http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?p=3108991 One of the users says he has fitted Merc CLK 320 wheels on his syncro without spacers.

$760++! Better get some weights and put on some muscle! I posted here for $300 though. No takers even at that so I sold them to some Kiwi's and Aussies. In the US a ne PS rack will set you back over $1700 outright/no core charge. I had one guy quote NZ$4300 back then. It was not much better in Oz. ...

Hi, can anybody advise on the best seats to go hunting through ebay for to replace the front seats in an '88 caravelle? Something that doesn't need any welding etc would be good. cheers. Recaro seats (with power height adjusters) from a Mk II GTi has sliders which unbolt. You can then take your old...

Hi, My VIN number starts W V 2 Z Z Z 25 which seems strange. Can anyone shed some light on the last 2 Zs? I've double checked and they are not 2s! According to the forum wiki and the webpage http://www.vanagon.com/info/vin/ the last two Zs should be engine series and restraint system. There are als...

We want to buy a crewcab tristar with the 4 doors etc but are struggling to find a nice one in the UK.

I know it soudns crude and possibly damaging to the bodywork but I have often removed them my placing a sharp putty knife and smacking with a rubber mallet. My apologies if I am not using the right name for that tool. Done this operation dozens of times and have never damaged the bodywork yet. On pa...

That is unless it's an auto trans. Then it's on the shifter box.
