Would this also cause my tacho to play up?
The needle sits at 2000 when the engine is off then operates from there like its the new zero.

I have the same frustrating problem!
When I got mine it didnt have an air mass sensor as it had been taken out to fit an air podfilter. I reinstalled a sensor but it pushed the filter down near the...

My bus sits about 2" lower than stock which although looks cool is a little impractical (and a waste of a syncro) so Im looking at the 35-45mm lift sprngs they sell on egay.
Are these any good?...

How did the T4 in the back ground go? Im keen to give mine a test but coming from a 4x4 background (sierra with toyota diffs and diff locks with 33" tyres") Im not sure what to expect.

As the others have said, glad you enjoy and use you beach. I dont understand why they didnt take off. The original air cooled is an icon for many reasons maybe its the cost factor?
I loved my T4 and...

I went to VW today to get an idea on pricing.
$1300 for the top hinged (complete unit) and $1200 for the factory sliding window.
Ouch

So it was an original item? So probly cost lots but its worth a call, never seen one before.

Ive been searching for bonded sliding windows for my T4 and arnt having much luck.
While Im waiting to hear back from a U.K. company I found a bonded style top hinged window....

Spoke to muller & muller they said its the lack of a syncro in reverse the tooth gets chipped.

Im contemplating changing the oil on my T4 how hard is it?
Im only asking as when the oil cooler lines burst (run into the filter housing) it was a biatch to fix took my hours to fix as it so hard...

Thank for that :) is that with the tyre and lift you described? Looks good!

Thanks for the ideas. Mine is so low at the moment that the rear axles go UP to the wheels not DOWN.
Im waiting untill I finish the interoir before I play with the suspension so I know how much...

Im just debating it at the moment. Its going fine but to get underneath I need to jack it up alot which is a pain.
How does it ride 40mm over stock (which would be 85mm over my current height)
With...

Im thinking about taking out the -45mm springs and installing +40mm springs and a taller more aggressive tyre and Im chasing pics of anyone with a similar setup and comments on how they perform....

Gee when you put it that way...and Im sure I do more than 20000km a year!!
Its one of those paper and wire mesh pods. But now that I tink about it when I went to buy the van from a car yard they...

Sorry its a 2.5 petrol syncro. Id take the pod off but I cant afford to fork out for an airbox set up yet (its all missing) besides It needs the belly pan replacing thats gone too as well as the...

I got my T4 awhile back already modded and was talking to a vw mechanic that said I should ditch the pod air filter as it messes with the air mass sensor? I just got it back from getting the timing...

I got Climair ones for mine, someone on here sent me the austrailian distributers number cant remember it
though. I think they were about $120 delivered for a pair of tinted ones.

Ok I got the smaller ball on...after removing the linkage from the van.
With a quick boil up in the billy the ball pushed on easy.
Once back in the van I installed the cup in the metal ring and...

Thanks Nik
