Club 80-90 Forums

Sounds like a 90a you're having trouble with. Trouble is that "New" 90a alternators have a hole (for the long bolt) for 10mm whereas the bracket and the original alternator are M8. You put an M8 bolt through a hole designed for a 10mm bolt and the alternator cockles over to one side and t...

Hey, The alternator belt on my 1.6td Westy has snapped 6 times in the 6 months I've had the van. Starting to lose patience to say the least! Assumed 1st belt I had fitted at a local garage had been fitted wrong, so took it to a VW Bus specialist (Just VW) and then after the belt they fitted snapped,...

Hey, I'm in desperate need for some wheels for my Westy as the wheel trims it came with are horrendous. I haven't really got the tools to be swapping out for longer studs and want to do this fairly cheaply as I already get enough grief for spending money on my other car and the Westy is joint owned ...

Hey, I want some new wheels for my Westy and like these: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/16-alloy-rims-5x112-ronal-mercedes-oem-audi-seat-skoda-ford-vw-vag-rare-retro/142910837776?hash=item2146265410:g:oDQAAOSwo8BbGrI5" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; I'm guessing will need to get...

Hey, I recently bought a 1990 Westfalia and the people we bought it off never used a leisure battery, but we want to wild camp so need one. My dad found a wiring diagram for it, and it looks like we are missing a battery charger and the loom for it. I also want to be running the lights/fridge off it...

Hey, The button for mains hook up does not stick down, so won't run on mains hook up unless we tape the button down. It sounds like puling the fridge and getting the switches out is tricky, and I don't want to steal the mechanism off one of the other buttons as I want the full flexibility. So is the...

Hey, The belt snapped on my alternator yesterday and I'm due to go away this weekend, there is a spare one in the van but it doesn't match the size of the one that snapped. The one that snapped said it was 10x910, the spare in the van is 10x875mm. According to Just Kampers you can't get a belt thats...

Thanks for the replies. I think the blower at the back has had it, trips fuses out all the while and power getting back there.

Sounds unlucky to have both blowers fail though?

Hey, I've recently bought a T25 Westy and need cup holders for when I'm driving. I bought a dash tidy from Just Kampers, but it didn't fit because I don't have the flat sloped dash. I saw these on their website and they look ok, if not a little expensive, so wondered if anyone else has used these be...

Thanks for replies and advice, I didn't end up going for them in the end, they sold for about £85. What's involved with getting the bolt holes opened up? A drill and someone who knows what they are doing? Sounds like something I could easily make a mess off to be honest

Hey, I've just bought a T25 Westy and it's got some terrible wheel trims on, so want to get a set of alloys, seen that people fit Mercedes Wheels on and found a set of these: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Standard-alloy-mercedes-slk-200-wheels-and-tyres-5x112-et-37/113037650428?hash=item1a5191a9fc:g:g6...

Thanks for reply.

There are two switches and neither do anything, should have mentioned that. I'm guessing the other switch is for the back?

Guessing it will be the motor then. I've bought a manual from Just Kampers, hopefully it's in that!

Hey,

The fan on my T25 1.6D isn't working, doesn't blow anything at all hot or cold. The guy I bought the van off said he changed the fuses, any other ideas?

Thanks,

Chris

Thanks for the replies! We absolutely love the van, hoping to get away again in it for a few nights in a couple of weeks. As soon as we picked it up we took it away for a night and thats raised a lot of questions, so will no doubt be asking for lots of advice! I've ordered now, worst case it's £17 d...

Hey, My and my girlfriend have just bought a T3 Westy (thread to follow once I get some good pictures) and want to change the stereo for something with bluetooth. But want something retro looking ideally, I've found some mega cheap ones from China on eBay and wanted some advice on if it looks any go...
