hi all , thanks to everyone for their input its much appreciated. im on the south coast in weymouth dorset the engine in question is a remanufactured vege. which company had the water jacket problem???. our nearest vw specialist hk sheppard .seems in favour of fitting a new lump , or we have arnie l...

cheers miketaboo ive just looked on their web sight but i couldnt find my dj engine so im going to phone them tommorrow !.

cheers skell our local vw garage seem to favour a replacment engine over a rebuild .the engine its self is a replacement vege unit which has only covered 10,208 miles so i think a top end rebuild sounds good providing it doesnt open a can of worms.i do like the sound of a subaru motor please tell me...

my 2.1 dj caravelle rad heats from the bottom to the top also !!!

im in a position now where i think my engine has a head gasket gone . its a 2.1 dj motor has any one else had to buy a new engine and which brand did you use ive searched the web and so far remtec are possibly in the lead with there two year guarantee .
ANY INPUT WOULD BE GREATLY RECEIVED CHEERS !!!

hi rob is your cab hammock home made or is it bought either way its really good!!! cheers sarah.

there is a chap called dave who runs a company called futbus in newton abbot in devon hes an engineer and he puts all sorts of engines into t25s he could probably help you i will post you contact details when i find them hope this helps!!! photos are allways use ful too.

on my van there are two wires on the temp sender . which model and year is your van ?

it could be wired ok perhaps the temperature senser on the gti lump needs replacing,just replaced mine on my van coz the temp gauge went down !!!

can anyone please tell me which relay or fuse controls the fuel pump on an 88 2.1 dj caravelle cheers !!!

if you have a t25 manual and the golf manual check out both wiring diagrams then you can work out what goes where and mate up the electrics !how is the performance of your t25 with the gti motor ? would love to know , i have recently looked at one with a 2.2 five cylinder audi motor in the back .

cheers grun willl work throuth soon and hopefully sort it all out!!!!!!!!!

I found the water leak it was a small l shaped pipe behind the water pump wheel what a pig that was to change.still its done now,temp guage still not working ,the lscu is number 43 ive removed it and it doesnt seem to make any difference.mind you the red light wasnt flashing when i removed it .

had some water drippin off the end of my oil filter today got under neath but i could not see where this was coming from ,its a bit congested there im guessing it could be the water pump seal . it never rains but it pours !!!!!!!!!!

sorry chaps been busy with the kids this weekend not had a chance to remove the lscu yet but will try tommorow thanks will let you know how i get on !
