T25 TYRE PRESSURES

Post by **Bowton Lad** » 25 Mar 2006, 18:38

Having just bought my van with no VW handbook & no helpful stickers
on the door pillars - does anyone know the correct tyre pressures for a 1980 Aircooled T25? Thanks.

Haynes manual for my 1600 w/cooled states 37psi front, 54psi rear.

sticker inside passenger door for my 1988 panel van 1.6 TD says 39 front, 48 rear for 185 R14 C standard commercial tyres.

Thanks to Mariner Man & Pimpdriverfor their help.
I thought that there may be some variation in tyre pressures according
the body type & also the particular engine fitted. Diesel engines are normally heavier than petrol ones.
I'm suprised at the difference in the rear tyre pressures stated. I would
still like to hear from someone with an air-cooled petrol T25 from 1980-
1982.
