My 1.9dg 2wd van never did this it very rarely came on, just seemed odd that this one has always done it.

2.1 MV Van works fine with normal driving but overheats when ticking over for a while. The radiator fan kicks in when the temp dial reaches the led in the middle only happens when stood in traffic and then cuts in and out every few mins, until we get going again. Any ideas on the process to follow t...

Hi All,

Does anyone know if the 2wd petrol pickup has the same rear water pipe as the 2.1mv syncro pickup.
I caught mine when working on it and know it leaks, it's the water pipe that runs around the rear, small bore and has take off,s to the engine.

Anyone got a good one for sale ?

Hi Guys,

Cheers for the info.

I did the same as kriss, drilled and tapped out.

Hi all,
Does anyone know where you can get hold of the drop side pins other than VW, anyone doing stainless steel ones.
I have a syncro pickup and have replaced the rail's that the drop sides pivot on but had to cut the old pins off on the drop sides to get them off as they where rusted solid.

I do own 2 syncro's and have been under them once or twice, but never to look at what would be involved in grafting a bay on to a syncro.
How do you think he did it. ?

It looks like he has grafted the bay floor pan to the syncro somehow. You can see the sill line of the bay in the middle section and front section it contnues through. There seems to be a vee shape between what would be the syncro sill area and the bay sill area accounting for the difference in widt...

That looks like it has had a bay grafted onto a syncro to me. Shame we cant see more of the conversion, especially inside the cab area. Confirms what i thought though, syncro is wider than the bay. Bit of arch flaring required. :lol: There is another video of him cutting up the syncro, so it has bee...

Daft question , but is it possible to fit a bay body shell to a Syncro.
Other half came up with the idea and i am warming to the idea.

Has anyone done it before here or abroad, links please if it is possible.

I have fitted the subaru charge cooler behind the rear light

Thanks for the info today, i now know what to do. :ok Put the vagcom on noticed a fault code for the pedal, realised the earth wire was not right so corrected that and the fault code disappered. Reved the engine a little and it was showing a percentage change, pushed the pedal all the way down for t...
