kritischen Thema Abmahnung durch veröffentlichen von Firmendaten oder Bildern umgehen.

Moin aus dem Maschinenraum,
aus aktuellem Anlass möchte ich nochmal die Gelegenheit nutzen und allgemein das Thema Urheberrecht strapazieren.
Ich habe gestern eine Abmahnung erhalten, weil ein User Fotos von einer Zeitschrift hier im Forum gepostet hat.
Die Forderung beträgt aktuell mehrere...
Ab sofort werden Leute die sich innerhalb von Minuten mehrmals mit verschiedenen Nicks anmelden, nicht mehr freigeschaltet
Liebe Leute, wenn ihr euch neu hier anmeldet habt etwas Geduld. Wir schalten die Nutzer von Hand frei, so wie es auch in der mail steht, die ihr bei Registrierung bekommt. Da ich ab und an mal nicht am Rechner bin, und auch nicht innerhalb von 1 Minute freischalten kann, macht es keinen Sinn sich nochmal mit einem neuen Nick anzumelden. Das macht nur zusätzliche Arbeit....
I have installed a short shift kit on my T3 with a JX motor and 3H 5 speed transmission. I know that the orientation of the gear selector housing is different on the diesels. As it currently is, the selector fork rests above the guides bolted on the bottom of the housing. Is this correct or should the forks be lower as they are in the original configuration? Here is a photo of what I am referring to.
I'm in the process of putting in a new exhaust. The previous owner welded several parts together, so I will have to replace all of it.
The nuts are of course very rusty, so block wrench somewhere between 12mm and 13mm kind of fits, but mostly I destroy them in the process, which leads to the prospect of replacing the stud bolts. Here is a link to them.
I also found similar on eBay.
Which ones are correct ?
Is it even possible to swap them?
It is time to change brake discs ony my van. The current ones were some noname italian made cheap ones. Lasted ~200k kms and 15yrs. With TRW pads it still grips fine, but it is near the wear limit.
I can get a wide variety of discs from a local parts store but Febi is one of the cheapests. Around 2/3 to 3/4 the price of big brands like Brembo, TRW, Ate, Zimmermann etc.
Listed to be coated like ATE.
I will be getting touch-up paint for som rust spots and am looking to verify that I have the correct colour code.
My van was manufactured 1986-08-01 to 1987-07-31 according to one source or 1987-01-31 to 1987-02-28 according to another.
The vehicle was sold 1987-03-20.
I think the correct colour is LH3D / H3 MARSALA RED according to this list
I would appreciate verification or if this seems incorrect.
My van has been sitting all winter, and the other day I did a little check-up on it.
The clutch pedal is no longer clutching :-(
The hydraulic / break fluid was very low, filled it up. No change.
The pedal feels like nothing exept the return-spring is attached.
Could this be merely air getting into the system, or could it be something else?
Thanks

Since radial all-weather tires are quite slippery on ice and mud, I'm looking for a more off-road type of tire. Maybe need different rims too? Any tips?
We are on the way home from our 3 week ostsee-nordsee road trip everything went smooth for 2.5 weeks, but I had a strange hiccup today.
I was driving on the highway, around 100-110kmph (~3000rpm) when the charge idiot light came on for a sec or two, the tacho dropped to zero then jumped up to full sweep. And then everything back to normal. Did it two times, then I slowed down to 90 and came off the highway.
It was OK since and it was before.
Tempreature was warm (around 26C ambient) the...
The spring for the carburettor broke. With some modification, I replaced it with a different spring. Is the original (or replacement) available somewhere?
Die Feder des Vergasers ist gebrochen. Mit einigen Änderungen habe ich sie durch eine andere Feder ersetzt. Ist das Original (oder der Ersatz) irgendwo erhältlich?
Hallo vom Biosphärenreservat Rhön
I have a green blinking light and have no idea why it's blinking or what it's indicating.
The manual says it should be the brake warning lamp, but this is not on the bottom of the dash, it's on the top.
The brakes also work perfectly. But should I look for and where?
Here I attach an audio clip from my van. Motor is WBX 1.9 78 PS. Recording was made inside van, with motor cover removed. As you can hear, there is a horrible rattling sound coming from the motor. Any clues is much appreciated.

My reverselights do not function. I've looked through the documentation but can't find where the switch is located. If anyone has a pic or a document, that would be greatly appreciated!
I am a recent T3 owner! My wife and I spent a month in Europe for our honeymoon where we purchased and drove a T3, I am in the process of importing it back to the US.
I am so glad to have found another forum with very knowledgeable people. One of my first priorities is to add air conditioning to our T3 which has a JX motor. I have searched this forum but have not been able to find any information on fitting air conditioning to a JX motor specifically. Would I be able to...
A friend of mine has his steering rack boots disitegrated. The remains of the boot are stuck in the teeth of the rack so it is needed to clean it thoroughly and re-grease then with the new boot.
E.T.K.A. shows a special VW seering rack grease with AOF 063 000 04 partnr for that.
Is there any other brand alternatives of that OE grease? Grease standards that work? Or just try to order it at VW?
TK-carparts has LiquiMoly MoS2 listed as steering component grease. I doubt that is good for...
It seems like I have some coolant problems.
On longer high RPM trips (like 1-1.5 hr highway above 4000rpm) pressure builds up in the coolant system.
I have lost a few hoses in the past years and now the rear heater matrix.
A bad coolant cap (relatively new Blau one) can cause this, or it is sign of a starting head gasket problem?
I had no such problems before the cap as I remember.
The engine is an 1Z mtdi with all JX stuff other than the diesel pump.
Has anyone tried to fit a VNT15 or other VNT turbo on a 1.6TD in the T3?
I'm investigating the possibility to have a more consistent boost profile over the entire RPM range. I currently use the stock K14 with a liquid intercooler and the Oetinger mods.
Not sure about VNT control either, electronic or manual?
Hi all!
Along my sufferings with the roof, my two month old (ran ~2000kms) Lemförder branded upper control arm bushings started to squeak.
Is there any proven rubber friendly spray lubricant that would work there?
I have read to use Fluidfilm on US forums, but in my experience fluidfilm swells up rubber, so I think it would damage the bushing.
Würth HHS 2000 said to be rubber friendly. Is it true?
Or use some PTFE or MoS2 spray?
Thanks!
I have a '86 Transporter (ex Caravelle, now Multivan interior) which I did put a Westy poptop on. (Club Joker roof with a Mosaik Joker install kit I bought second hand)
Here in Hungary modificatons on the vehicles have to be engineered and permitted. The engineer said that beside his technical description, the local authority would need a proof from the importer that there was an OE version of that car with the roof.
Unfortunately he said neither the VW...
I have read some threads here about bad quality brake parts from big brands especially bad quality drums. I will have to do a full brake job before the next HU, so I need some input on the qality of the parts which are usable and which to avoid as all should be good quality from the list below.
I can get parts locally from these brands, listed by the prices from cheap to expensive:
Hi everyone. We are searching for a T3 and feel a bit lost.
I found this one and am wondering what people think about it? There are three small rust spots which need to be repaired in order to get the old timer license. Do you think this one is overpriced? How much money do you think we’ll need to put into it?
Thanks a lot!
Here is a link to the van:
Gerade bei #eBayKleinanzeigen gefunden. Wie findest du das?
Hi! I really hope I am in the right place and the right audience will see my post.
We are searching for a T3 and found one we think looks okay, although needs a bit work done. The thing is, we know close to nothing about cars and would really love for someone to come with us to check the car out. Someone who knows a lot about T3’s and the sensitive areas of course.
I would also be happy if someone would look at the online ad with me and see if there is anything you can see from the photos...
does someone know of a car with such a roof? I'm owner of a such a T3 with a CS engine. I'd like to know how many are still in use. Can you help me please?
has anybody heard of above heater ?
They were long sold by Mikuni / Japan , later MV Heating / Southampton , took over - apparently with several modifications.
I am a bit desperate to find an OPOERATION MANUAL , since the unit is operated via two digital programming units/displays.
The heater was also used in the maritime environment and installed in boats.
Hello everyone. I have a problem with the ABS system. I have a Doka with ABS brake but it doesn't work. The ABS warning light is on all the time. I measured the resistance on the sensors and it shows approx. 1003 ohm. Both brake switches are correct. There is currently no front differential on the car but the joints are in place. Can anyone help me with any diagnosis? Thank you .
I would like to install an aftermarket heated seat with the OE switch and relays. As I know the factory setup use a thermistor in the lower pad to measure the heat. Is there any info out there which type of thermistor is used?
Partnr, type range, etc. Any info would be appreciated!
Thanks!
Hello again!
After a DISASTER of an AAZ upgrade (the motor blew after 1000km!), I want to look into an electric conversion.
TUV says it will be a nightmare (LOTS of paperwork!), but if someone has already done this, the door is already open.
I have a 1990 Syncro, and ideally, it would be a bolt-on to the transmission.
Gutentag all.
My name is Rene and I am new to this forum.
We own a T3 which was converted to a camper van.
We bought it in 2007, when prices were still reasonable I guess.
I enrolled to this forum because Germany is our vans home country, and parts and stuff are probably easier to find in die Heimat than elsewhere.
Our T3 is a white 1.9 WBX which was delivered in september 1990.
Kind regards,
Rene
I have been contemplating some sort of wrap or rain fly for the pop top on my Bus. (T251 camper conversion Carthago) my pop top.JPG . The problem I have run into is that everyone I've contacted for dimensions on such products say only fits westfalia . So, I would appreciate if someone could please post the dimensions of your Westfalia pop up tent so i can compare and contrast between the two? (see attachment for reference) Pop up Dimension sheet.jpeg
Hello everyone! I joined up yesterday and just saw that we have this English corner, which is fantastic with me being a native speaker! I come from a automotive background, working mostly with BMWs. I joined because I am helping this German friend of mine with buying his first car which will be a T3 van. We have looked at a couple and I must say it was very exciting to sit in a VW van for the first time, there is a nostalgic nice feeling to it. :sun
Hi guys, I have a couple of issues with my vw t3, one being the LDA for the turbo. Can anyone advice a good t3 mechanic, eventually someone who is specialised in these cars? I live in Munich. Thanks to everyone
So, I'm American/Chilean and I've been living in Germany for about 8 years.
Around 3 years ago we bought a T3 Postbus and we love it, warts and all. Thing is, lately I've been trying to get more and more into mechanics, repairing and maintenance, but sometimes the German language and mentality can still be a big barrier (no offense to any Germans reading -- I just come from a different culture :-)).
That's why I'm looking to meet any English speakers (or anybody else who wants to speak...
In the last weekend we visited the Bayerische Wald near the Czech border to do a bit of trekking in the autumn forest.
We were stopped by a covered police car just after Ludwigsthal and the car was thoroughly checked. They were checking manufacturing dates on interior parts beside the VIN and the engine nr. After 45mins they admitted that everything is OK with my car. They gave back our papers and left without saying goodbye.
Im curious what could be as suspicious that led to stop...

I am trying to find TÜV papers for Borbet A in VA 7,5x16 and HA 9x16 or Penta in VA 8x16 and HA 9x16.
The reason for this is that I am putting on Lorinser LO in VA 8x16 ET22 and HA 9x16 ET10 and I have to convince the Norwegian TÜV that similar dimensions have been used before 8-)
I would appreciate any help!
Thank you in forehand and regards from Norway.
Hello all!
I am upgrading my JX motor to an AAZ, and I want to upgrade the brakes too.
I am thinking of THIS setup.
Does anyone have this installed yet? Does anyone have the TUV paper?
I have a T2 bulli and i installed 2 weber 34ict carbs and in the near future i want to register the bulli and the guys from TUV told me that i need ABE for this carbs. I bought the carbs from belgium and the store cannot provide me with the necesary papers for ABE.
I write here as my German language skills are limited to reading (and ordering beer in a pub ;) )
After searching for original Westfalia poptops for years (which are rare as hen's teeth here especially affordable ones) I bought a Westfalia hightop roof.
I decided to put on as a Mosaik Joker one as it involves the least cutting/welding. I searched through the internet and found the original manual for the roof itself and some other good blogs (like about installing the roof but...

No more Fahrvergnügen with my beloved T1 Splitty for nearly two years now. Fact is, the drivers cabin doesn´t fit me properly anymore Now that all belly-reducing-attempts failed, I am looking for a technical solution. Anyone here who knows about smaller - like racing steering-wheels or driver-seats that might give me some more 10 to 15cm room for all of my body? (..and may get our germans MOT´s okay ...?)
If you know about dealers for those parts ..... or if...
I couldn't find a place to post photos of VW shows so seen as I speak English I thought this section would do. Last weekend was Beautiful Budel, The VW Aircooled Festival in the Netherlands. The weather was perfect, the atmosphere was brilliant and the VWs were Beautiful!

Hallo Bullifreunde,
It's been a long time since i've posted on bulli board.
I organize a Vw bus gathering in middle of FRANCE from 11th till 15th of July (next week :shock: )
Campsite with water and electricity is free for the gathering. There is plenty of place, so if you want to come to share with us food, drinks and fun from your country you're welcome.
The place=> St Georges/Arnon (36100 - FRANCE).
Best regards.

I wonder if you can help. Our 1989 vw t3 multivan 1.6td is in Munich. It has an oil leak and also a strange noise coming from the gearbox. Could anyone recommend a good garage that we can take it to in Munich please? We think it needs to be somewhere that specialises in vw t3 and which speaks English also!
Along with my shopping for a T3 Syncro camper I've been thinking about possibly just having one done by Reimo. It seems like you can still have them outfit a T3 with a brand new interior and hopefully a high roof. Does anyone know if this is still possible or even better has anyone here done that? It seems like I could buy a really nice standard Syncro for far less than in the states and having a new camper interior would be great. Just something I'm considering, I'd love to have something a...
Greetings all, I'm currently looking around in Europe for just the right Syncro T3 camper. I've been checking with Busman and mobile.de and autoscout24. I'm wondering if there is anywhere else people would advise looking? My ideal van would be a high top/poptop like the Carthago, Weinsman, Reimo style but I'm interested in other options if it's the right van. I'd also prefer a diesel. If anyone has any ideas or leads I'd love to hear them. I hope you don't mind us Americans trying to take some...

Hi to everyone, this is my first post. I am from St. Neots, in Cambridgeshire, UK and have owned five T3/T25's. My current one 'Wilma' is a 1.6TD California with 229k kilometres and she runs fine. I am trained in Graphic and Web Design but have just started manufacturing rear tables suitable for T3/T25 Westys. Not sure if I can promote my product just yet, I maybe have to get approval from the Administrators. If you want to make contact, feel free to PM.

I have been fortunate to win a VW from 1975. Only thing is that Im in no need for a party van. So I would like to sell it to someone who can appreciate this rather special bus. Is not relly suitable for camping but must be rather cool as party bus I reckon!
