Club 80-90 Forums

Hi just been having a look in the engine to find any tell tale signs of what might be wrong. I have a 1.6TD, 1989 and it's overheating and the cooling system is pressuring, hoping it's not the head as it was done little over two years ago, but the water pump and thermostat have been replaced and the...

Hi all, I have a white 1990 VW T25 on 50mm avo dropped springs. Looking into getting some BBS alloys, black with a chrome rim. Just wondering what I'd need apart from a large wallet to get them onto the van. What kind of spacing/adapters should I go for and where from? As well as this, size matters....

Hi, I have a 1.6TD 1990... it seem's to be increasingly burning more oil, recently had the head gasket done and it's since then it's been going through it. Filled it up with oil to the second dot on the dipstick, took it down to falmouth and back (1000 miles), averaged around 60-65mph so not the eas...

I've been photoshopping a photo of mine to see what would be a good colour and lime green or pearl blue look really eye caching, or a pearl white with a stripe down the side.

Hello all, I have a 1991 vw t25 1.6 td, it has done roughly 90.000 miles. On a trip to the lakes around 4 months ago it constantly overheated when on the motorway, usually on an uphill section. After we got back the engine started tappeting a minor amount when under load and kicking out a lot of smo...

Yeah the paris beetles sunroof's pretty nice actually, work's out at £350 (ish) or £440 lined, only thing is it'd look a bit wierd with just your head sticking out on a beach or campsite wouldnt it??? I don't want to pay £1000 to stand upright in my van and the ebay used one is a bit, well, tatty, c...

Hi again, the roof is now gone, leaving a 42" by 50" (roughly). Does anyone know of a smaller less intrusive pop top just to give a little more headroom over that hole???? Thanks again for all the help and information, Liam

Well the original black pop top was ruined, it was leaking and when we went to close it one day all of the solid side panels fell away as all the mountings were all rotten, so we decided as, seen as though a proper replacement would be £2000 to £3000 we would have a go at making our own, we made it ...

Thanks for all the info, I think we have decided to go agead with the conversion, we are not sure of the cost yet but of coarse we want to keep them down! Does anyone know how hard it is to take off an autohomes pop top conversion?? Can it be done with just one or two people with basic tools?? If an...

Hi, Thanks for the reply Aiden and J188, Yeah that would be great if I could have his details, I live in the Isle of Man, the ferry goes to heysham which is 20 mins away, and I'm always popping over to the mainland anyway. Thanks a lot for your time, Liam

Hi all, I currently have a VW T25 1.6td Autohomes Kamper pop top conversion.

Thanks for your time, Liam.
