Importing a T3 from Germany

Post by funkbus »

Hi All,

Will shortly be importing an ex German Airforce T3, with 1.6 Diesel + speed box (very basic !). Could someone please point me to any decent online workshop manual copies for the van and engine ?

Thanks,

Steve W

If you google for ‘Bentley Vanagon’ you should be able to turn up a link to download a PDF of the best manual for sorting out most mechanical situations.

I’ll drop you a PM with download links for the VW workshop manuals for the standard diesel engines.

A search on this forum should turn up a link for for the PDF of the ‘bodywork manual’.

Then you’ll be pretty much sorted for most jobs - anything else you can ask on here.

Hi Daniel

All downloaded - many thanks.

This is my first diesel (previously all air-cooled flat four or inline-6 petrol) - always something new to learn !

Regards

Steve

Here's a link to a the body repair manual if you hadn't found it yet.

The Bentley Vanagon is easy to find online.
