If you have a look at Justkampers and vwheritage they sell them all complete with pictures.

I think i understand what you mean, can you not drill some holes in the existing panel after cutting the bad bit out then weld in straight bits of metal creating a overlap for the new cut panel to rest on. With this tight up against the flanges you could butt weld it in then grind it down flat. This...

Thanks for the replies its a great help, getting a bit worried looking at Micks link hope its not to bad when i cut the panel out. Question for Mick, looking at page 1 of the link repairing around the sliding door runner, i take it at no point you had to remove the runner from the body, on mine look...

I had a similar prob to this turned out to be a rusted pin hole in the sender unit, when driving it was coming out on top of the tank so when the van was stopped it looked like it was coming out. Had to remove the tank though, good luck

Cheers Covkid i did look at that but was wondering what people think between the panels, JK etc only being a small lip to go into the crease i was wondering if it would be harder to get it to look nice when finished. The panel on Wiki goes up vertical again thurther into the crease. Just desperate t...

Really wanted to replace the sill side panel drivers side (RHD) a long time ago but never got round to it, Now it has to be done. There appears to be only two types available the ones for the LHD van (Heritage and Schofield) which will require a bit cut of it. The other is (JK etc) where there is no...

I dont know the resistance, it is not a variable device but a switch, the way to check it is to put it in hot water and check continuity. it should be a two stage where at a lower temp will go s/c to one pin then at a higher temp will connect to the other. 2 stage speed for the fan. I disagree with ...

Hi, i have a van that has been converted from petrol aicooled to aaz. Everything fine but managed to get a dash with a rev counter, the old dash was petrol and i installed a Led for the glow plugs using 12v from the glow plugs to the led. The problem now is the new dash is diesel and requires a eart...

If you mean the fan on the rad, then this will have no effect on this. The cooling fan is only opperated with the temp sensor switch on the rad it opperates independantly to the gauge.

This is right, this should be fitted to the cylinder head gearbox side.

Check the temp sender wiring, the switch has two wires one side should be earth, the temp sender is a resistor and gives a varied resistance to earth depending on temp. Make sure one side is earthed or it will never work. On the cylinder head it would be a oil pressure switch, but a simple one that ...

Sorry just looking at your info, does the level sensor wire only connect to the relay 43 thing and not to the dash as it's not on the wiring info? When i first converted i connected this wire straight to the little nut on the back of the temp gauge so it would make the red light work but did not rea...

Top man thanks for speedy and detailed reply, perfect when i get a few mins i can have some fun. It is from a diesel as has the glow plug light but i thought vw tachos had diesel writen on the face if it is a diesel but maybe not t25's. The dash is 1988. I agree i could really do with getting the pl...

Hi does anyone have pin wiring info for the speedo unit. My van was origionally Aircooled but now is aaz diesel, the temp sensor glow plug light etc is all wired up. But i have just bought a speedo unit with rev counter and digital clock and was wondering what each of the pins are for, so i can conn...

Thanks everyone this is a great help, pictures are fab.
Just one question regarding neil3965 pictures from the inside you cant see the vertical seams where you welded, i take it you can get access to this its just the camera angle. It looks like it is behind the strengthening pillars.
