Many Thanks Fritz, can you suggest any, I am in Redditch, Birmingham Area.

Thanks Terrywill, like you say may help someone else and good to know for future reference for all, my part arrived yesterday and hopefully will be able to get the van sorted next week, finally. When I was taking the old one off, the return pipe around the top of the engine bay was corroded, has any...

Hurrrayyyyyyyy, finally ordered the part, after several e-mails, frusrating time zone's, sorted procedure for purchase, and hopefully the part will be here by Friday, cross fingers.
Thanks again vanwesty for the info.

I had a similar problem, I was fine whilst moving, but when I stopped at junction's or services all the water would get thrown out into the overflow. The AA found that the Blue pressure cap was not holding any pressure, so Just Kampers came to my rescue at Bug Jam 2008, as the van kept overheating a...

Thanks Vanwesty, you are an absolute star, I'm going to get straight onto that, and it sounds cheaper than a second hand part over here.
Awesome !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cheers kevtherev, thanks for the advice, I will have a go at that, and see how I get on.

What a nightmare to take off, wow, horrible. Part number is as follow's :- 251.121.438. I also now need the metal return pipe that run's around underneath the lip of the engine bay as the end that goes onto the distribution pipe was badly corroded and fell off when trying to remove the flexi pipe be...

I'll try and get it off and have a look, will come back to you soon, many thanks.

Just spoke to CJ, no joy unfortunatly, he's got the later type but not the one i'm after.
However he did give me info on how I may be able to get around the problem by fitting the later water pump and pipe system, so well worth the call, many thanks.

Thanks for the info.

yeah, but it stands upright, like a drain pipe.

Can anyone help ? The distribution pipe on my 1986 T3 has burst and don't seem to be able to find one anywhere. Have tried the likes of JK, VW Heritage etc...., even GSF, but no joy. I have also tried one of my local contact's, Lee at Volsmagic but he only has one and it is the type from Oct. 1986 O...
