Syncro Dos and Don'ts
From VW T25(T3)-Tech
Jump to navigationJump to searchDON'T, Bump Start in reverse, it will destroy your gearbox.
.. and an obvious corollary is that if reversing in a Syncro on a grippy surface, take it easy! High speed reversing and then suddenly lifting-off would put much the same loads through the gearbox.
DONT tow on a spectacle lift (with prop shaft installed)
DO Let your MOT station know that it is permanent 4 wheel drive, for the brake test they can use a decellerometer.
