Sorry if this is a daft question. My new speedo cap (square hole in centre) has fell off never to be seen again after only doing about 5 miles. It didn't seem as tight as the original which had fell off the week before. I tapped the new one on with a rubber mallet but thats not made it stay on. Coul...

After some head scratching and I now have four forward gears plus a reverse again thankfully. I ask myself is it a tighter shift gate after spending over £130 on new parts, answer I don't think so.

https://i.imgur.com/usDPHLo.jpg The slop in the gear change finally drove me to go for a refurb.  As I have an early van with a 12mm gear stick, air cooled manual,  I selected the below parts I thought would help fix the problem from Brickwerks.   What has thrown me now  when its all apart is my sh...

Just to let you know Aidan Talbot's fix to fit his oversize thrower worked a treat and me plus a pal had it all done within four hours. Thanks Aidan once again.

I have a 2 ltr air cooled with a four speed gearbox and was wondering does the box have a breather valve and if so where should I be looking? Cheers

Sadly after parking up after returning from Dubs in the Dales this weekend the dreaded leak has reappeared. So the leak stop didn't work after all. Just ordered a new seal tonight however was wondering since the leak only returned after a long journey if there was a breather and it was blocked could...

I added both the Wynn's and Barr's leak stop treatments to the gearbox then topped the gear oil up on Friday (yes both but I am desperate). I then drove 5 miles and checked for leaks, none apparent. I then drove 8 miles and stopped for 40 mins, small leak the size of a Viscount biscuit. This was sti...

Coming back from the VW event at Elscrick at the weekend my gearbox sprung a leak which I guess is the input shaft seal. While over the last two years the engine has been out more times than I care to remember I was wondering what the easier way to change it A:engine out or B: box out? In the meanti...

Got van back on Friday after a professional full respray. I looked great on Saturday my friend opened the sliding door and it jumped the runner and crashed on to the road...... My perfect bodywork is now not so perfect as it bent the bottom edge in and and cracked where the lower repair panel had be...

It has R6657 stamped on to the base lip which when Googled some else says its "looks almost identical to weber". Question still remains which rebuild kit do I buy?

Sorry I should have said I know its Weber but I believe there are DGAV DGEV DGV types etc out there but how do you ID them?

Could you please advise before I buy the wrong gasket and service kit, please see attached photos. Thanks

I have a two ltr CU petrol, idle ignition stabilisation unit and a Bosch Dual Vacuum Dual Advance Hall impulse distributor with a worn shaft currently. I can't find a distributor for sale on the usual VW special sites that looks like mine however can find lots of SVDA without the Hall sender which i...

Good guess. Its a air cooled 2 Lt petrol

Weber 32/36 progressive carburettor is fitted and as above once its warmed up it dies. Then won't start, any ideas?
