Will investigate tomorrow.
Thanks

Wrong! After 400 miles over the weekend, there is a bit of oil pudding below oil switch.
Will sort it out



And l've lost a tail pipe too

Hi Ian,

No leaks and dash oil light works perfectly well when oil is warm? So l'm certain l can dismiss earth issue. But will add one tomorrow and post findings.

By the way we were in Addlestone today. Refuelling with LPG opposite the derelict pub. 78p a litre. Result!

Anyone else have one of these kits in their van? A year after installation, when putting in a rebuilt engine, l'm still having issues. The one l fitted only works when van has been driven for about five miles. It's as if the oil is not staying by the blue sender switch, now moved from between pushro...

Note at bottom of link the other bits you may need. Almost half the price compared to JK.

Yes. A bit of small pipe. Jubilee clip over oil cooler outlet spigot. Small bolt in the open end of pipe and another jubilee clip.

Cheaper to buy from Brickwerks the 2.1 version and block off oil cooler outlet.

What engine? For a WBX.... It is impossible to catch it all. Lots of old bath towels and flattened cardboard is the answer. Release rad bleed and thermostat valve. Remove blue cap. l release pipe attached to either the rad return or feed. It drains two ways, from radiator and from engine. So have a ...

Anti tamper tube. Break it off if necessary.

Idle adjustment. It has a slot inside for a narrow screwdriver

Parts supply for some critical items such as thrust washers, crank bearing shells and camshafts have been a problem for a while now. Do a costed parts list for a rebuild, its a reality check! How much are new cam followers now? Can you get rocker screws? Followers about 15 quid each. 10mm rocker ad...

I have a prefectly fine 1.9DG in my van but it does lack a certain get up and go! A second hand 2.1DJ has appeared near me and i am very tempted. I would do a full rebuild so it would be a winter project. Question is, will it be worth it? Power and torque figures look much better but i just wondere...

IMO, its the difference is between a van that has adequate power, and a van that is a bit sluggish. You can run the 2.1 on the DG carb and everything if you want to simplify matters - the 2.1 will run fine on the 1.9 stuff. Depends how irritated you are by how slow the DG is, and it's in good healt...

In Broadstairs, East Kent. A company called Victoria VW.
They did the job correctly, once l supplied the data for rear wheels. And what a difference it made to the running. It felt as if the old girl (high top auto camper) was gliding along.

Is it leaking coolant from the waterjackets onto the ground? Does the coolant expand and flow over when blue cap is released? Only try this when engine is stone cold. I would do compression and oil pressure tests first. That will indicate to you whether just changing the water jackets will suffice o...
