Iirc tyre pressures given in the VW T25 handbook varied a bit over the years. You may find that air cooled vans have different TPs than water cooled. The tyre pressures that I was given on this forum last year when I still had my a/c van are:-

185R14C FRONT: 3.0 REAR: 3.7 SPARE: 3.7

205/70R14 FRONT: 2.1-2.5 REAR 2.8 SPARE: 2.8

ALL PRESSURES IN BARS

Manufac label on door pillar of my van says 3.0bar front and 3.7bar rear (185R14C tyres).
