Areas that rust - Inner Sills

2009-05-04T16:06:36Z

Cruz:

'''Cruz:''' If your unfortunate enough to have rotten inner sills then they are still available from [http://www.vw-classicparts.de VW in Wolfsburg Germany]

As of Nov 08 I bought the left (nearside RHD) inner sill from VW in the UK for about £75. At the time they said it was the 2nd to last one in stock and I know for a fact someone bought another one so they may well be obsolete like the right (offside RHD) sill. (Obsolete according to UK VW Vancentres)

Never fear as if you follow the instructions on using the vw-classicparts.de website in the wiki [http://wiki.80-90.co.uk/index.php/Parts_Acquisition_-_Main_Dealer HERE] they have both sills in stock (INFORMATION CORRECT AS OF OCTOBER 30TH 2008). The offside sill cost me 100.78 Euros which is about £79 and that was delivered to my door within 3 days!!!!

253-801-251 left side member (nearside inner sill RHD)

253-801-252 right side member (offside inner sill RHD

Here's a picture of a very rare sight in the UK, both sills together. Like hens teeth

VW Electrics Fitting intermittent wipers

2009-03-15T14:19:23Z

Cruz: /* Early Van (Non-Blade style fuses) */

== Introduction ==
''NB. There are three contributions to this subject, dependent upon your T25's wiring standard''

== Late Van (Requires relay fitting only) ==

'''Matt:'''
Go to scrapyard; find vw; open glove box; pull out relay with No. 19 on it

Put in fuse box into position 10 (remove metal insert)

Remove plastic shrouds from steering column

Take out white plastic plug
"voila" intermittant wipers !!!

[[Image: Inter_wipers.jpg]] [[Image: Wipers_2.jpg]] [[Image: Wipers_3.jpg]]

Vans with wash/wipe but no intermittent wipers already have the relay, so just pull off the steering column cover and pull out the white gizmo from the switch, enabling your switch to move down a notch, and giving you intermittent wipers!

info from 80-90 users guz & rob; posted by lloyd:

No. 19 relay (part number 321-995-531A) is pre set intermittent relay. (out of old golf or whatever)

No. 99 relay (part number 357 955 531) is variable intermittent relay. (out of higher spec golf mk2 on and similar sized vw, relays fitted to Audi's don't work)

If you use the no. 99 relay you can vary the time between wipes!

To set intermittent wipe time, turn intermittent wipers on then off again. Count the seconds for the delay you want between wipes and turn back on again. The variable delay is now set.

[http://www.keithandsylvia.co.uk/tech%20pages/t25_intermittent_wipers.htm '''2. Keith&Sylvia's website: Wiring guide for early vans (Blade fuses)''']

== Early Van (Non-Blade style fuses) ==

'''3. CRUZ: '''Fitting Intermittent wipers to an early T25

[[Image: inter_wipe_6.jpg]]

One thing that annoyed me on my camper was the lack of an intermittent wiper option, especially when it was spitting. [http://www.peterkay.co.uk/ | (Everybody in. It's spitting!!!!)]

I could only put the wipers on continuous and I discovered that in their wisdom VW rarely fitted the option on early vans
and even ommited them from later vans even though they installed the wiring.

Here's a guide on how to fit the option to an early T25 (mine is a 1983 model with ceramic fuses).
There is a guide to the easier method of installing it to later ''blade fuse'' models [http://www.keithandsylvia.co.uk/tech%20pages/t25_intermittent_wipers.htm For vehicles with blade fuses See:]
First job is to get down to the scrapyard and pick up relay number 321 955 531A (as in above picture). These can be found on
most 1982-90 VW's, they also have a big 19 stamped on them. I got 3 from my local scrapyard for £5.

'''IMPORTANT''' Disconnect the battery before commencing and use properly insulated crimped connectors and solder

Remove the plastic steering column surround by removing the two retaining screws underneath.

Then remove the white retaining clip as shown in the next three pictuers. This will now give you a third intermittent down position on your wiper switch arm. 
[[Image:inter_wipe_1.jpg]]

[[Image:inter_wipe_2.jpg]]

[[Image:inter_wipers.jpg]] 

Right now for the wiring. I consulted the Bentley wiring diagram (fig. 4) which shows the relay as it should be incorporated in the system. Being lazy I couldn't be bothered to wire the relay up so it fitted in the relay fuse box so i wired it up next to the wiper switch on the steering column. 

[[Image:inter_wipe_8.jpg]] 

After removing the wiper switch harness (figs. 5 & 6) I noticed that the terminals were marked like the above diagram. 

[[Image:inter_wipe_3.jpg|frame|left]]
[[Image:inter_wipe_4.jpg|frame|left]] 

And from that I came up with the following diagram of what I was going to do. (fig 7) 

[[Image:inter_wipe_9.jpg]] 

'''NOTE:''' Position J in the indicator switch has no connector or wire to it so you need to create one. The easiest way is to purchase a 1/8" female lucar connector as shown below. This when crimped will push into the switch plug and lock in place. Feed your wire through position J (the way it would be if it were being connected to the indicator switch), crimp the wire to the lucar then push the lucar back into the J position in the switch connector block 

[[Image:lucar.jpg]] 1/8" female lucar connector 

Fig. 8 shows the relay wired up. Now all I had to do then is secure it to the steering column and replace the steering column cover (figs 9 and 10) 

[[Image:inter_wipe_5.jpg]] [[Image:inter_wipe_10.jpg]] [[Image:inter_wipe_7.jpg]] 

Reconnect the battery and you will now have intermittent wipers that will also wipe 4 times when you activate the screen washer. '''GOOD LUCK!!!

Areas that rust - Kitchen panel

2009-03-08T00:19:42Z

Cruz: /* Forum question */

==Forum question==

'''mhilton:''' Vendor is saying he has the panel behind the fridge painted every 3 years (from the outside)...

I can't help wondering whether it's rotten from inside out if it is the fridge.

'''Rozzo:''' Ask if he'll allow you to look behind the fridge? If it's horrendous in there you'll see it.

Trouble is it tends to rot the structural pillars that you can't see from the outside and this is very expensive to get fixed up.
(For the money you're talking about you should be able to get a very good one so don't rush into the first ones you see is my advice and beware of brand new paint jobs!)

'''HarryMann:''' Yes, it can be and very often is, if no-one has ever taken the trouble to kill it at source properly. It isn't uncommon that the whole panel needs replacing, and possibly down into the sill area.

No substitute for good drainage and ventilation in kitchens... some bonded insulation inside that panel would also go a long way to prevent condensation

'''Dugcati:''' I can vouch for that! the area behind the fridge - the whole lower part of the panel on mine and the posts were really rotten.... I have had weeks and weeks of welding to do on mine.

'''chippieshaun:''' Feel free to have a browse here and see the pictures behind my fridge!

[[Image:Behind_fridge_chsh_01.jpg]]

'''rick&ang:''' This is how bad it can be. Not beyond repair but it takes a lot of time.

When i bought mine it didnt look to bad but I soon found out that paint can cover a lot of sins! This is a picture of the inner sill (behind and under the fridge). The rest of the van was pretty much the same too but its sorted now.

[[Image:Fridgerot_RG_01.jpg]]

'''Cruz:''' Here's the mess my fridge made in 25 years

[[Image:Rottensillandfloor.JPG]]

[[Image:Os_sill.JPG]]

And here it is all fixed up and ready for a rustoleum paint job

Does your heater panel illuminate?

Well the bulb may have gone or the bulb holder is knackered. On mine it was the holder.

So here's what to do.

First order a holder from VW for about £1.20

Part No. 321-919-039

Now pull off the heater control levers. Gently pull them forwards until they pop off.

Remove blower switch knob*

*This is a good time to replace a faulty blower switch about £5 from GSF

Using a small flat screwdriver prise off the heater control panel

Remove wires from white cylindrical bulb holder, remove bulb holder

Put new bulb holder in, add bulb and wires, check it works by turning on the headlights.

Now whilst your here you may want to consider adding a buzzer to stop you leaving your headlights on. Details are listed just above the link to this page in the WIKI. Dead easy, just £1.50 for a bizzer from maplin, some crimp connectors and a scothlok connector (easiest way to tap into the positive wire on the bulb holder you have just replaced). Maplin sell all these parts.

Put everything back together and now when it's dark you no longer have to blindly fumble for the heater controls
