Club 80-90 Forums

Three campers' earlier (my first) ran early pipes and original single tailpipe. And that ran absolutely fine.
The engine is sound. The autobox plus LPG robs a bit of power, and yet compared to my other camper, a DJ2.1 on E10 it feels very stifled.
I guess a compression test is the way to go.

My recently purchased 1987 Autosleeper DG1.9
LPG with autobox is running early manifolds and a stainless silencer twin tailpipes.
In your opinion will this set up gain or restrict bhp?
To my feel it is restricting.

Its okay... It's actually Steve you are correcting. :) Low Pressure Oil Switch hidden by push rods. Higher Pressure Oil Switch (Buzzer of Doom / Dynamic Oil Pressure) near the water pump. Unfortunately VW did a bit of daisy-chaining coloured wires to brosn wires too. Just to keep things interesting...

Sorry to correct you, Rob. If lm right, then normally... Blue/black trace wire goes to blue switch 0.3 bar. All petrol WBX T25's are fitted with this one between pushrods. Yellow wire to grey switch 0.9 bar under waterpump known as buzzer of doom fitted to engines (check serial number) after 1985. B...

I have gone off the idea after looking for parts availability online. No camshafts available, no std pistons and liners to be seen, etc, etc.  No, don't. We want an engine rebuild to umm and ahh over. You will be impressed with a 2.1. Even running on a carb. Presently, l have a DJ2.1 and a DG1.9 LP...

It's worth noting that youll be throwing a fair bit of money at a ground up build. If the heads are OK then you're gonna save about £800 or so, but you'd be best to check valves and guides on the current heads.. I think my build came in just under 3k... and that was without heads. For the money I c...

So realistically what is a 2.1 DJ with 150k miles an apparenty was seen running and in need of a full rebuild really worth? https://i.imgur.com/frK1pST.jpeg https://i.imgur.com/9uUtsWu.jpeg Not exactly well loved, is it? First check it is actually a DJ by asking for a photo of engine number. Any si...

A few enlightened don't even both with an oil cooler when converting..
This is my next project. I have a rough DJ engine sitting under cover at the mo; and l have a 1987 auto DG LPG begging for more ponies.

What? Me?.
Driving to you as l type. Helpful youngster!

Davidloft and a few articles on The Samba assure me it is achievable without removing dash.
Stay tuned for pictorial outcome.

Thanks, Steve! :ok Really, REALLY do not want to take out dash! First time l cracked the windscreen trying to release dash screws on top! The second time, for changing a seized fan, l cracked up. On refitting, l was looking for the aerial plug to reinsert into radio. Where the k'hell has it gone? Th...

Is it possible without removing dash in an automatic T25?
Haynes manual reads dash removal, master brake cylinder and servo out.
BUT this is for gear lever manual version. My Haynes manual makes no mention of auto tranmission version?

Answering my own question, after more internet browsing, apparently this is a pressure relief valve and is working as it should. Recently l filled up with LPG five miles away from home. This is to stop excess pressure in the leisure tank if ambient air temps increases and expands the gas. Will monit...

Not from bolt but coming from behind this plastic stopper.
What is behind it?

Seized fan. Have you tried cold air setting?
And yes, excellent customer service from Propex.
