Hi,

Looking for help please.

My ludite bro has a Volkswagen 1996 T4 and is trying to fit a fasp seat swivel. But he's not very practical either, so he's struggling ith what order to fit everything as he says he can't swivel the seat because of the seat belt thing! Can anyone send me some instructions and hopefully some photos so I can go and help him sort it please?

Thanks in advance of any help :)

Hi folks -

I'm happy to say that although everybody's memberships expired last year and the committee was never reinstated last November, we now have made a fresh start and have elected some new blood onto the committee so we can start afresh.

We will be writing to those who have been members in the last 2 years inviting them to the latest club meeting so they can re-join if they wish. The next meeting is Thursday 17th May.

There will be more detailed information sent to those on the New Lancs email list in the next week or so, before the club meeting on Thursday. If you want to join the club email list, please email me with your full name and email address.

If you are already on the list, you will have had at least 2 emails from me this week. If you haven't then I don't have your correct address, so please get in touch and let me know.

Hello, this is the problem we're having. My friend goes out to turn her car on in the morning, (2001 VW bettle) and it starts up but then immediately turns off again. I know very little about cars so I wasn't of much help to her, but I know how to ask people that do have some knowledge of her particular car.

I have a 1988 Caravelle Syncro with the 2.1 Water Cooled Engine. Sometimes the Engine 'labours' and then after a few minutes, cuts out as if by Fuel Starvation. Turn off and wait about 5 minutes and it starts and runs with no problem. Sometimes it will run for hours and hours without cutting out, other times after running for 1/2 hour the enging labours and cuts out. It does not seem to be ambient temperatute dependant (as I initially thought). I have been told that it may possably be an overheating fuel line ? Has anyone had a similar problem ???? Can U Help ?

Can anybody figure this one out? I got smoke when I replaced the glow plug relay with the engine running. The replacement had seven prongs and the original had like 5. The secondary (solenoid) contacts apparently fried instantly. 5 seconds later the engine quit. Now engine wont start--lights on Instrument panel light then a second later shut down and 2 seconds later fuel guage works and engine light on. Saw all lights on initially for a brief. Original relay put back in but no apparent damage to wires or fuses. Interior of relays lok good. Interior lights work as do door locks. Any idea what the H... happened and what I can check to fixer? I will try vag com if I can find my cable. niner3d

Hi, I am sorry to report that I have 1972 1300 Beetle that I must sell. The car was inherited from my father in law 3 years ago and has sat in my garage ever since. The car has no tax or MOT as the floor pan needs some welding amongst other things. Sadly I do not have the funds to get it back on the road and therefor I an looking for a buyer who will offer a good home. The car is stunning and with a little work and tlc it could be even better. I will accept any reasonable offer. photographs available.

Can anyone please tell me what the problem might be ? ... it has only just had a complete head rebuild after the bottom pulley came loose and the cam belt jumped, but the recent noise sounds like it comes from the top of the engine !! i must confess to being completely stumped.

I've got a 51 reg ex AA Transporter & I'm looking for interior trim for it as it's a bit grubby & the dash is Swiss cheesed with screw holes.
I'm interested in are:
The whole dash panel less the clocks & heater controls etc. That means everything else that forms part of the dash, glovebox & brackets to make it fit, the panels down to the floor infront of the gearbox, black surround for the clocks, the lot.
Both front door trims/cards.
A base for a single front seat, must have sound foam but otherwise condition doesnt matter (I'd take a full seat)
The front section of headlining.
The cover for the heater intake above the battery.
The fuel filler flap.
I've heard much of the stuff inc the dash will fit from an earlier T4, I'm told the later clocks & controls will swap over.
Email me with anything you have, I check my mail every day.
Thanks, Kev.

[ Edit | View ]

Date Posted: 07:43:26 09/06/06 Wed

Hi all

Does anyone know anything about the oil pressure warning buzzer and light on the T25s? Mine has started to go off regularly when driving, when the revs fall below a certain level in all gears. I can stop it only by revving harder. It's been to three garages, had the pressure tested, new oil/filter, new sensers etc and no-one can tell me what's wrong. The auto electrician suggested a new dash as it could be the circuit board, but the revving thing makes me think this isnt the case. I had to retap and fit a new sump plug as the thread went, and the new pl;ug may protrude slightly into the sump (only a few mil) - again someone suggested this could be causing it (seems unlikely, but what do i know).

Any advice very much appreciated

cheers

andy

Hi there, I hope no-one minds me posting on this forum, but I am desperately trying to track down my VW camper and am posting in as many VW related forums as I can in the hope that someone may spot her.
Lily was stolen from Stockport, South Manchester in the early hours of Thursday 12th October. It's a 1993 high top T4 transporter. It's a Holdsworth Villa XL conversion and is in pretty good nick, with about 81,000 miles on the clock. There is a recent photo here: <a rel=nofollow target=_blank href="http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d41/Zanettie/Sept2006/DSCN2333.jpg">http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d41/Zanettie/Sept2006/DSCN2333.jpg</a>

The reg no. is L677LHE

There is a Ricon wheelchair lift fitted beneath the van, and it has a stainless steel exhaust that has been modified to fit below the lift, so it is a bit of a noisy beast.

If anyone comes across a van that might fit the de!--ion I'd be really grateful if they could let me know. I have also posted on various other forums including VZi, Kamperchat, 80-90 club, Volkswigan, Madbuggers etc., also on camping forums & message boards.

I hope no-one minds me posting here. Please feel free to email me for any additional information: zannettie@googlemail.com

A relative has a 1300 beetle for sale lying Runcorn. Think he wants £500 for it. To my knowledge it does not require any welding. It is M.O.Td and taxed (exempt). but battery is flat and dyno U.S. Runs O.K with a fully charged battery. Inside is tatty. and outside needs respray. Steering , brakes , and chassis sound. A spare dyno, 2 solid front and one rear wings included. Tyres good. However it is up to you to inspect and verify.
If any one interested email me at cliffordleach@yahoo.co.uk and I will put in touch.

All travel expenses would of course be refunded, you would receive a token fee, a 'with thanks' at the end of the film, as well as an end copy of the film. It is to be broadcast on both BBC4 and BBC2. If interested, please get back to me as soon as possible.

OK so here goes...

I'm not looking for much......
.....But!

I'm looking for a tax exempt VW campervan within about a 100 mile radius (or if right a bit further) of Keighley. now the even more difficult part

I want one with a solid chassis and good body work (no rot)

to bring the price down and to allow me to make it mine I want one with a scrappy or no interior. But i would prefer it to have a pop top with bunks.

I would also be interested in one with no engine or one that has had it as a engine rebuild or replacement isnt out of the question.

I would consider one with no/poor engine and no/scrappy interior but the price would have to reflect this

I have cash waiting but i'm not in a rush to buy but i want one sooner rather than later. as i want to use it next summer

thanks

hi im having allot of problems with my 68 bay, ive got to the point now where i just cant figure it all out,
Im so close to it being MOT ready i cant belive it, so to get it done, im willing to pay somone to sort it, all was working fine untill i got involed and broke the fuse board, so if your in the preston area PR3 3SU and wont charge me a fortune,

at the mo, things that work are,

indicators,
side lights,
brake lights,
headlamps,
wipers,
all really's are fine too,

Things which dont work,

no indicators while any of the lights are on,
theres no wires going to the dash lites for all the warning lights and all the lights on the dash actually,

no main beam,

everytning else that i cant think of proberbly works, ie it starts and charges, but its the technical stuff i cant seam to sort, ie why the indicators dont work when the lights are on, it also does'nt have a hazard swich which *should make it a bit easier,

its LHD 68 bay, ive got a good wiring diagram, but id say from where the front and the rear wiring looms come into the back of the fuse board thats where the good wiring stops! the fuse board wiring espcially to the back of the clocks is a right mess,

it needs a few lengths of wire, about 20 connectors,including a few of the really small ones fo the back of the dash lights, and about 3hrs of head scratching if you know what your doing, which i dont,

let me know as it needs sorting ASAP i want it MOTd as soon as possible,

cheers

Hi -

As we're all very busy these days it's getting difficult to find the time to put newsletters together and mail them out, so most of the club communication outside of the regular meetings is happening via my club members email list.

Hi.

I’ve just had a phone call from an ex-club member called George Chisolm from Kendal.

His beetle has just failed it’s MOT (maybe heater channels, maybe floorpans, can’t be sure just by going from his description.)
It is a 1976 1200, George has owned it from brand new, and it has just 51,000 miles on the clock. It is all original and he has all the bills and history. It has always been garaged. The last few years he has averaged 1000 miles per year in it.

He is open to offers.

Sounds like a good restoration project or spares donor car.

The car is in Endmoor, Kendal.

Phone – 01539 567127

He's not on the net, so you'll have to give George a ring if you're intrested.

Instead I would like to use a brand new unleaded engine but it will have to be a VW to fit the trike. Can anyone point me in the right direction for a new 1300 or 1600 engine. I'll leave the original engine and bits to you guys' and gals' who appreciate the vehicle rather than just the engine.

Just wondered if anyone in the club or elsewhere, may be interested in taking over my faithful old G Reg' 1990 Audi 100 Saloon, my daily driver until I got my Passat TDI last week. So it has to go,(it's either that or lose the Beetle project car).
The Audi has the 2 litre, 5 cylinder, one of the last of the non-catalyst unleaded petrol engines, 115 bhp with K-Jetronic Fuel injection, has 150 000 miles on it, (I drove it for 60 000 of them ), and still drives well, (cruised German autobahns at 110 mph), pale metallic blue, with grey interior. It's reliable, comfortable, clean and tidy, has 4 newish Avon tyres, regularly serviced with genuine Audi parts (not as expensive as you may think, if you get them from shows etc.), has run on VAG Synthetic oil for the last 60 000 miles, ever since I got it in 1996. Cambelt replaced 30 000 miles ago, lots of history, receipts etc., no rust (galvanised body), factory steel sunroof, electric windows, Witter towbar and electrics, remote central locking and alarm. factory radio cassette, and everything works.
Taxed and MOT until April 2006, it's far too good to break for spares. Can supply photos if required.
I'm only asking about £380 or make me an offer, as long as it goes to someone who can get good use from it. I'll keep it insured for a couple of weeks, so it can be test driven.

Its a belter but occasionally it runs really rough, wants to stall, has no power & can only be kept going by flooring accelerator pedal. OK ish when doing 60 but an absolute pig when manouvreing - need to keep dipping clutch etc.
Occasionally was every 2-3-4 weeks; now is neary every time.
Have checked & tested & replaced & adjusted all HT bits in the past. Just checked everything again - all OK
Im concluding it is fuel side - just cleaned carburettor with Wynns magic spray, checked all vacuum pipes, changed inline fuel filter.
Im down to Carburettor; a Pierburg 2E with more tubes & wires coming off it than I can understand; or a box of matches

I have a mark 3 golf gti (8V) and I am having a few problems with it. Whilst on a trip upto the lakes it cut out on me, everything went dead and I was coasting over to the hard shoulder. It them started up again and I thought it might be something to do with my immobliuzer but I have since replaced it. Since then it is running fine but I am a bit scared of taking it on a long run and the garage cant find anything wrong with it. Has anyone else had this problem and if so how do I fix it so it doesnt cut out again.

Cheers

Katie

I have a 1959 Bug and although it has been restored I never messed with the rear suspension because I knew nothing about it. Just recently I have been driving everyday on the freeway. Now, everytime I go over a small bump or even the driveway the rear of the car makes a loud bang as if I had gone over a huge rock. The noise comes from the drivers side rear end. Is it the suspension? I have moved the car up and down and side to side and nothing happens. Its when I hit a bump. Please Help!

Hi, we import Volkswagen’s from California and have been into them for years. We heard about a product called Rust Bullet, a new rust prevention product, and decided to try it for ourselves. We loved it so much we have imported it from America!! An LA inventor designed Rust Bullet to protect U.S. Air Force jet wingtips from abrasion during flight. It is now used on everything from cars to ships. Rust Bullet requires no preparation, just 2 coats to clean or rusty metal. As an excellent adhesion it doesn’t peel or blister away and can be painted over. It resists mechanical abuse, chemicals, abrasions, UV & weather in all climates and below seawater. It has been tested scientifically for 3 years against leading rust and corrosion control products. If you would like to try it for yourselves contact Megan 07966026978
Or check out www.rustbullet.com or contact mbeadman@orange.net

Hi, a friend at work has his sons vw corrado up for sale but isnt on the net and doesnt know what its worth so i said i would have a look around. Wonder if you guys could help in reccomending a price to adevrtise it?
Its a 1992 1.816v in canary yellow
approx 100k miles
Interior good for age, no rips/tears fag burns etc
No rust but not mint, has been stood in garage for around 12 months though still runs perfect (no smoke or rattles)
Has no tax or mot but he will get one if need be.
Have not viewed the car myself just going of what my friend has told me.
Would it be worth anything to an enthusiast as it is or would he be better of getting it taxed and mot'd and putting it in auto trader/ebay?
thanks

Oil/fuel filters and a wheel bearing kit going free cos of demise a while ago of my girlfriend's 1990 golf TD. I can't remember for absolutely definite that it was a 1.6 rather than 1.8 (but we often got overtaken by women pushing prams). Anyway, just in case they're any use to anyone, they are:

2 x Halfords HOF233

2 x Mann W940/25

2 x Hengst H70WK05

Wheel bearing kit no. 73674, replaces 191 598 625 (only does one wheel, includes stub seal & dust cap)

Should also be an air filter somewhere but I haven't found it yet.

All going free. To simplify things I'll pay the postage.

Cheers

Recently I've been have problems with the running of my 1970 beetle, it's not starting first time like it always did, the engine sounds a bit off and today it cut out completley at a roundabout!! I eventually got it turning over (which took a couple of minutes but seemed like forever!!), but everytime I had to stop at lights I had to keep my foot on the gas so it wouldn't cut out again.When I eventually got it home, everything in the engine bay looked fine, I left it for a couple of hours then started it up and white smoke came out the exhaust!! I've had a word with my Dad who seems to think I may have a blockage in the fuel line.

Can anyone help!!??

There are already holes for the centre stalk and top part of the seat belt, but I am missing one for the black box where the seat belt coils up into?! Will I have to drill a hole? and if so where?
