For Sale - the van was imported from Australia about a year and a half ago. The colours are VW Florida Blue and Pastel White. It's at the stage where an interior can be fitted straight in and the new owner can choose their own colours for the door cards (door cards currently have foam with...

I recently took apart and cleaned / fitted new gaskets my twin solex 34-PDSIT-2/3 carbs on a type 4 engine. Power was never good previously, but since refitting them, I've got very little power (can't get over 45mph on the flat). I've taken the van to a garage to adjust the carbs, but despite...

I'm after a head for a 2 litre type 4. Not too bothered about the state of the rockers as it's to replace a stripped spark plug hole :roll: . Thanks in advance.

Has anyone got a spare choke element &/ordashpot they're willing to flog? (Type 4 engine, Solex 34 PDSIT Carbs). The choke element is for the left carb with the tab for attaching the wire facing to the right when the SOLEX writing is the right way up. I can't seem to find any in shops of the...

Can anyone suggest where to get either foam or horsehair front seat pads (walkthrough 71 bay)? I've tried Status VW who are out of stock for 6 weeks and SSP who will take 4 weeks from TMI! I've got new covers to go on, and a freshly painted cab to deck out - but no pads!! Thanks in advance!

I've just stripped down my front seats ready for a new set of pads and covers. Unfortunately all the thin wires that run across the seats were unattached (previous covers and pads seem to be the originals) - Has anyone photos of how the thin wires are supposed to be configured or do they just...

I've just rewired my indicators and full beam back to being on the stalk (previous Aussie owner had transferred them to switches on dash!). Here's the problem: Indicators work fine when lights aren't on. With lights on right indicator works, but left won't!! I've checked the earth for the left...

Well, I admit to using this site for months but without contibuting because I'd yet to get my hands on a van. A couple of weeks ago, we finally took delivery of our kombi having waited months for the slowest man in Somerset to paint the exterior. I've already spent hours trying to sort out the...
