Thanks both.

Scottbott - did you keep the 'hard' nylon pipes from fuel filter back?

Hi All, As the age and provenance of the fuel hoses on my van are unknown to me, I am going to do the prudent thing and replace them all. I have read the Wiki and performed various searches on here, but am still a bit unclear on diameters and type of hoses required. To assist my (and hopefully other...

Just had a poke around and found what is likely to be the cause of my leak...



Definately worth seeing if you have something similar.

The OP's story sounds very familiar to me. I picked my van up two weeks ago. The fuel level was very low, so I drove 2 minutes to a petrol station down the road and filled it up - doing my usual of letting it click off, then rounding it up to the nearest pound. I took the hose out and noticed fuel p...

Thanks Simon. I'll have a ring round some scrappies and see how goes.. will post back here with how I get on.

Cheers,
Stu

Thanks Simon, do Brickwerks sell the whole unit?

Hi all,

The rubber top part (that the oil cap screws into) has split in my 1.9 DG and leaks slightly as a result. I've Googled hi and low and can't find a source for these - usual suspects don't seem to list them.

Can anyone help me by pointing me in the direction of a supplier?

Many thanks,
Stu

Thanks for that. I'm going to make the fuel tank etc the priority - don't want the new purchase up in flames! So, new fuel lines and close inspection of the tank and connections. Mine was exactly the same - filled til it clicked (£67 - ouch!) and then OCD kicked in and I tried to round up to the nea...

Thanks all again.

Yes, original coil is in the bag too. Will let you know how the refitting goes, and will deffo shout if there's any issues

Thanks again Em - I noticed JK listing that dizzy, which then made me think "wonder whether it's a known problem if conversions are sold by them"..!

Will deffo try make a meet. BTW - my folks are in Strood - so you might see our van around, look for the orange glow!

Have you got the original distributor?

Yes, that was in the bag of bits.

I said to my Dad the comment about "you know where you are with points" - his reply was "yes, you do, normally at the side of the road"!

Thanks both

Hi All, The previous owner of my T25 converted the ignition from the original electronic ignition to traditional points -saying that "you know where you are with points". This seems to me (as someone with zero old-VW experience) to be a bit counter-intuitive. Is there a known issue with th...

Ah, right - thanks Ian.

Excellent - thanks very much both.

Hi All, Firstly.. new to T3 ownership having picked up my '86 1.9(DG) panel van (Christened 'Jasper' by my better half) this weekend. Thanks for an awesome source of info :ok There are a few things I need to work on - but these are in hand thanks to searching on here. One thing that is a mystery, is...
