Little Red Key????
Hi, I was wondering if any one knows what the little red key/knob is for
It has westfalia stambed on it but haven't found a home for it on the bus yet and only having a german owners manual, I'm a bit stuck. If anyone happens to have a spare owners manual for and 89 and/or the california supplement would be cool

If it has Westfalia on it, it must be part of the conversion, not the base vehicle.
Could it be the water filler cap?

Re: Little Red Key????
Is there a lockable cupboard in the van, or a floor safe under a carpet in a cupboard?
Re: Little Red Key????
I haven't come across anything like that, but I know what you're getting at. It's a standard grey westfalia camper interior.

Re: Little Red Key????
I might yes...!
You should find a detatchable tow bar on your van. Put key in, turn 90 degrees and it will come away from the rest of the towbar frame. Makes things nice and neat!
I hope thats what it is anyway!

Cheers!!!!. If I get bored or fed up of trying to sort out my engine issues, See other post if your interested "No Power and stalling!?!? ", I'll give that a whirl.
Re: Little Red Key????
Well I searched around the tow bar and found nothing, so I assume it's not a detachable one.

Re: Little Red Key????
