[AxlFoley]

I'llstart with the bad news!

I took the valance of and found this

Looks like the bolt has been missing a while! probably before i owned it!
then i found this

another missing bolt, ho hum nothing to bad i suppose

on a plus side, looks like my heat exchangers are VAG!

Even if they are Beetle ones, my botch to keep this side open!!

the cable is there, just on the wrong side lol

So i thought i would check all of my pipes are connected, but this side wont go in

Probably as this hant been removed.

Any one know where i can get new cardboard pipe from the heat echangers?

Thanks

hey mark

1st id go through all the engine mounting bolts and rubber mounts for the engine as they are cheap from people like GSF , look in the mags or on tinternet. Then get a large screwdriver and remove the round disc in the top of the exhaust . Thats a packing piece and is supposed to be removed on fitting Im sure thats what the writing on the top of it says . You can then buy a steel collar from GSf that fits into said hole and thats what your air hose pushes onto . I would also check your heater levers and cables as these are cheap too and would make a noticable difference to the pleasure of driving the bus . If you need anymore Help etc just post up . Also have you had this bus long ??

yeah I will go over it all, and check the bolts, I have had it about 6 months, he engine had just been fitted when i bought it, I think it was a rush job, as it was wired wrong too.

It's easy to modify the h/e levers so they work properly from the cables. Do a search on here and VZi for threads showing you how to do it. Basically you make up a short lever from some flat strip and fix it to the existing lever.
