There was a good blopgpost about the different oil pressure switches with the description of the warning system on the Brickwerks page, cannot find it now, it seems like Simon removed it.

They smoked because the grease got hot. Which means it lost its lubricity. The bearing and the washer look black/blue-ish which means they overheated. The outer ones are toast for sure. Probably a new washer is also needed. For a temporary fix - like to get to the garage from home in a few miles - y...

Too tight bearing or not enough grease can cause this. If the spindle is not damaged then press in new bearings and good to go. Tighten nut while rotating the hub until it cannot be turned, then loosen and tighten it again finger tight. The big washer should be movable with a screwdiver. the method ...

I would go with a 1.9D setup with the 90A alternator and its bracket.

By default the factory black junction box has two relays on a JX. One bigger one, the glow plug relay - which is a control unit, not a standard relay - and one small relay for the aux coolant pump.

I just replaced my 15yr old brake hoses as a preventative maintenance (might be a bad idea with todays part quality). The new rear hoses are a bit longer than the old ones not much but they are almost touching the crossmember. Did not measure, I would say the difference is about a centimeter. The ne...

The main difference nowadays the fancy ones have displays and if the units itself are smaller depth if you don't want a high end one. Otherwise they are the same as the old ones. The ISO connector is standard nowadays, and most of the jnits are digital press switch on so you need battery+ for the me...

On some markets (and maybe in some time range in germany) vans also had to have tachographs. https://www.ilcats.ru/?brand=vw&function=getParts&market=RDW&model=T2&modelcode=65&year=1986&group=9&subgroup=957&part=149010&language=en https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/p8...

278x175x175mm the original physical size. It was 62Ah by factory, nowadays it is a 65-72A depending the manufacturer.
I use Exide EA722.  

IIRC 315x175x190mm size fits, just barely. 

They are "lifetime fill" by VW, which means no need to change in the designed lifetime of the vehicle. Which was around 10-15 yrs and 200k kms. Passed a long time ago... From the "common wisdom of the internet" the best you can do to your gearbox is to change the oil relative fre...

AFAIK the wiring goes in the left grommet and only the washer pipe in the right.

It is the spring of the locking rod.

Factory connection should be here, the wire coming through the hole:
