Re: 1.6jxTD water pump belt
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?

Re: Leisure battery not charging
OK, then there is possibly a short somewhere.
Either in the wiring or in the controller unit itself

Re: Leisure battery not charging
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...

Re: Best paint for respray?
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.

Re: More Fuel Pipe Issues.
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

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...
