I have just bought a 1980 T25 with a replacement 1995 VW Passat 1.9tdi engine (1Z) installed and there is no bottom cam cover fitted.
Having just had the cambelt and tensioner changed as a precaution, I obtained the part no. from VW Heritage (028109127J) but my mechanic says it doesn't fit.
I was wondering if it's OK to drive around without a bottom cam cover (sounds like it's asking for trouble to me) and was wondering if anyone else has ecountered this.
Also looking for a T25 specialist local to me in West Sussex.
Thanks in advance.
