Thanks yes i was a bit phased with repro quality and reading the small print saying you have to cut and fettle to get it to fit!!! Any recommendations on quality which to get I've looked at Heritage but will take a look around over the weekend and get something ordered mine has a pinhole rust...

Thanks all, mine seems as good as these guys I'm wondering therefore if I should be sticking and repairing what i have, would you know if the sections that rust out can be removed and replaced as that may also be an option? Thanks all

Bump for this year, as you can see not in a massive rush to sell, van is garaged we aren't using an awful lot but if interested then drop me a PM. Kids are older we sadly aren't using Ruby as much as we once were with our trips over to France, Spain and around the UK, that said it'll be soon...

The other thing i was going to ask, as that looks as rusty as mine. Do people replace the pipes on these rather than go with repro

Yeah spotted that what does the AH bit mean rather than the AE on my car...

Great so now to find one, would 113 129 701 AH work. Alternatively can you get new pipes and fit these thanks all.....

Bump - Still looking Can anyone advise what the AE means and what alternatives as CLEM says above can I just fit this part and block off the pipe?

No way could have popped in for a brew... Being honest I'm not sure what the Vacuum take off does exactly was it a modification would it benefit running over what I currently have on the vehicle. Thanks for advising

Fantastic and your just up the road in Glos. Mine doesn't have the vacuum take of (he says confidently :oops:) i'm down the road in Monmouth so could pop over and collect if you do have something Clem, much appreciated it has the VW stamp 113129701AE ....

Hey Rich hope your keeping well and the collection is still as healthy, PBP still going strong and the pics on this post with the original owner are a real nice addition so glad when they popped up! I'm after a new inlet manifold at the mo, would you have any ideas? Perhaps I'll get lucky at...

So we have Ruby out for a few trips a new MOT following fitting of new reard drums shoes and CV boots. Also been away for a few days on our 2022 hols, now needing a new inlet manifold pics to follow shortly. Once I work out how as I think photobucket is defunct / want ££££

Hi all, I've noticed that my inlet manifold part 113129701AE has a small pinhole. I'd like an original to replace as reading around it seems that new reproduction parts aren't a direct fit and need adjusting etc. Be grateful if anyone could advise / point me in the direction of a good (un rusty...

Wow thanks so much for posting these pictures, they are fantastic. Your grandfather took great care of her, I have a huge file of the vans history, MOT / Service Records and its great to see he took her over to Europe for hols :mrgreen:

There is Adrian at (Symonds Yat ish) Whitchurch MOT Centre who is nearer to you, he serviced my van a couple of years back before a big road trip

Dam i haven't been on here for a while, logged in at lunch today!!. Would love to see the pics of PBP116K the link isn't working, if you have these again and any more then please post so we can see. Thanks....
