Got the new oil filler pipe, fitted it and took it for a test drive.....

Gushing oil everywhere Level is from full to below min in 4 miles

It looks to be gathering on the tinware below the fan.

Is there anything that end that is a know issue?

I'm thinking the crank end seal. That a good possibility?

2L A/C CU engine.

Doh

Why do they offer Type 4 in the Aircooled section?

So is the crank seal going to be the most likley culpret? I can't get it to bits till this afternoon.


Laurie is that code for a CU engine?

ok - if you want the Aircooled t25...it seems to be listed with the watercooled section - ie find t25 in the water cooled list - bung clutch in, and you will find the 2 ltr aricoioled listed with it.

Not sure what all the Aircooled related to...but all seems to be the early stuff - beetles (type 1) through to variants (type 4) I think!!

AHHHHGG!!!


VW car dealers don't sell comercial parts any more!! New rule as of 3 weeks ago

nearest dealer over 20 miles away!

FFS - if you want the thing running......get on yer bike and go an get it!!!!

20 miles.....not far, honest!!

Maybe ring first....mak sure its in before you undertake such a mammouth expedition!!

Em

I know its not far but the car dealer is only 1/2 a mile away!

Thanks for the usefull comments anyway.

we had the same problem after doing an oil change we started leaking oil very very badly.
Garage diagnosed the problem to be the rear crank oil seal.
They had to wash the engine to see where it was leaking from and found it to be the above.
After fitting a new crank seal the oil (touch wood) has stopped leaking
Gud luck in fixing yours

Ok, vw don't have em any more


GSF do!! \o/



Cross fingers i'm not replacing the wrong bit

Ta, it's not in a very readable format.

I always end up ringing.

A42X62X10 / CU,CV

It's just an oil seal .... 62mm OD, 42mm ID, 10mm deep (actually doing the sums it's 10mm square profile) I'd ask for 'Viton' ... it has a higher temperature tolerance. Phone a local bearing supplier and they'll no-doubt have one in stock.

type 4 is Aircooled, dont get your t4 and type4 mixed up,

all vans are type2,

Looks like I've fixed it!

New seal was loads tighter than the old which was baggy



Made a new problem at the same time....

I've snapped the bolt on the starter! left about 3mm of thread. I've relay cowboyed it together. Couldn't find any nuts with a longer thread to join the 2 halves together but spotted some of those bolts that sink into wood when tightened. They had 15mm of thread! Screwed it tight onto the starter and threaded the wires onto an m8 bolt, added another nut and screwed into and tightened the whole thing up.

Starts fine
