Can anyone explain the basic differences between the DG and the DJ engines, apart from cc. I was considering replacing my knackered DG engine with a Golf GTI lump, but due to the extra complications because mine T25 is an Auto, I've been told by the garage that I'd be better off sticking with the bo...

Hi Russell, where can I find you on FB ?? Dg lump buggered, so looking for an economical alternative to fit my T25 Auto transporter.

Hi Rob, I know it's been a while, but I thought I'd give you an update. I've had the van for about 7 - 8 years, in that time it has been serviced, usually when I get it MOT'd, so about once a year in a VW garage, I mentioned this problem to them and they didn't really know what to do about it, I'm n...

How did you mange to reach it through the engine bay ?! you must have very long thin arms !

Yep. especially when going down hill, approaching red lights !!

Thanks, I'll see if I can get to that

Ever since I've had my T25 auto, there has been an issue when using the kickdown, occasionally it sticks down, ie, the pedal won't come back up, which means when you've speeded up and are expecting to go to third gear, it doesn't, so the engine starts reving high and drastic measures are required, i...

Thanks guys that's given me some hope

Is anyone on here running their T25 on winter tyres ?? I've tried several places and got told you can't get winter tyres that size for a van ??

After more breakdowns today, stripped everything back and found that the stem of one of the filters had a crease in it which must have restricted flow, it's running ok now, though it'll be a while before I can trust it again thanks for all the suggestions.

does that include pierburg carbs? the info on the regulator says that for webbers it should be set at 2 PSI, I was told by Just Kampers, where I got the bits, that if the pressure is set too high it will damage the carb, so I have been playing it safe, regarding fuel blockages, the only time I've ha...

Cheers, I don't know much about these carbs, I'm assuming excess fuel goes from the carb back to the tank ??

Well the new filter by the tank looks clean

I've had loads of problems with my T25 breaking down due to fuel problems, I've replaced the mechanical pump several times, including the push rod, having got fed up with that, I've fitted and electric pump and a regulator, it worked fine on Friday when we tried it, but today it cut out when going u...

I have decided it is time to upgrade my T25 from it's gutless DG engine, to something which will get me up a hill ! I have been looking on the alternative engine forum, but am still confused as to what would be the best engine to get fitted, can someone please tell me what is the easiest conversion ...
