Club 80-90 Forums

I am using Castrol Transmax Manual Transaxle 75W90 in my 5spd.
It helps a lot on cold 2-3 gearchange compared to other oils.

I am using the cheapest chinese copy blue KKL usb cable with the 409 VCDS from the cd.
It is fine for these old tdi engines (1Z/AHU, AFN)

My guess is that you have some mismatched pulley set, as the 10x643 should be a good fit for the crank to water pump on a two belt system

Do you still have the old belt?

OE partnr for diesel battery is 191915105AB. (278x175x175mm)
You can fit quite a wide range of sizes in the engine bay. Even 190mm height fits.

OK, then there is possibly a short somewhere.
Either in the wiring or in the controller unit itself

I had luck repairing dead flat batteries with cheap pulse charger from aliexpress This kind: https://a.aliexpress.com/_EyWUMnf I would try to charge the battery first out of the van. If it is dead, then replace it. If it keeps blowing fuses even with a new battery, then the charger (or alternator) m...

It seems like standard motorhome door seal if I understood your description

Search for the partnr on the web. You can find it even on ebay.

It is a mercedes part
partnr 1163340372 or A1163340372

IMO 2K industrial coatings are fine for non-metallic colours. They mix the laquer in the paint so it can be shiny. You can even choose stronger hardeners in specific brands.
I think those are closer to the original paints VW used in the 80's than todays water based automotive paints.

Thanks.
On the end I got an even cheaper (possibly chinese made) Denckermann branded one locally for around a tenner.
I will see how it will hold.

I am not sure what is changed in the compounds, but todays rubbers are crap. They fall apart in a short time.

The german Cohline that Brickwerks sell seems to be better quality.
I had good luck with Gates too. Gates 3225 used on diesel. Bought it from my local autopart store

Hi, is there any info on the quality of Graf/Metelli water pumps nowadays. They used to be OEM for italian brands. I am a bit low on funds and here it is less than half the price of other big names like INA or the KS/Pierburg that BW has in stock. From the pics I can find, the impeller is pressed sh...

This pic is from the german factory repair manual.
E is intake (Einlassventil)
A is exhaust (Auslassventil)



So Exhaust, Intake, Exhaust, Intake, Intake Exhaust, Intake Exhaust is the order from the timing gear.
