Club 80-90 Forums

Hello all. New to the site and to T25 ownership.

I have a 1982 T25 Camper with a refurbished 2l Golf engine. The coolant pipe has a big leak and I'm struggling to find a replacement. Any help would be gratefully received and any advice and warnings on fitting would also be welcome. Anything in particular I should look out for or any specific bits of knowledge that would make the process easier?

Please bear in mind I'm a mechanical novice. My wife is the mechanic in the family but we're currently separated and I've inherited the van.

Cheers in advance.

There are a few coolant pipes. Can you be more specific? Is it a pipe in the engine bay or one of the front to rear pipes?

Brickwerks list any specific Golf engine conversion parts seperately on the webshop.

Original VW rubber hoses usually have the part number repeatedly embossed into them but it can be faint.

Many thanks both for your replies. It's the front to rear coolant pipe. The leaking adaptor is sitting just forward of the engine inside the left rear wheel. I'm assuing the original pipe is 15mm but I can't get access to take it off and measure both.

Many thanks for your responses. After trying to track down the specific piece I did a bit more testing. A few more small leaks so ended up replacing most of the coolant tubing which meant getting a full kit.

Between this and a replacement fuel pump she now runs like a dream, albeit a wonderfully noisy dream filled with the sound we all know and love so well.

Thanks once again.
