'78 VW TYPE 2 SHIFT COUPLER?

Torque setings for cylinder head on t25 16d camper
It depends on the bolt type.
6pt bolt head (m11) - 1st 35 ft-lb, 2nd 50 then 3rd 65. warm engine and re-check at 65. After 1000 miles turn 90-degrees.
12pt (m12) 1st 29 lb-ft, 2nd 43, 3rd turn 90-degrees, 4th turn 90-degrees, warm engine and turn another 90-degrees. After 1000 miles turn ANOTHER 90-degrees.
Vw camper ignition timing
If it is really a 1986 the spec is 5 degrees before top dead center at idle.
Much better (and easier) to set at 35 degrees BTDC at 3000 rpm.
On my vw t25 the brakes are very poor and needing
this is caused by a fluid leak in the braking system, either the master brake cylinder, brake lines/hoses, or wheel cylinders/calipers. Inspect or have a professional inspect it for you and replace as needed. brakes are nothing to be stingey about. Hope this helps.
Steam out of exhaust no heater working bolt
You will need to re-post with better symptoms. ON a cold day the exhaust will steam as much of it is water vapor.
However, if the exhaust smells of coolant (sickly sweet) then you have a dying engine in need of a rebuild/replacement.
No heater? In what way is there no heater?
What is a "working bolt?"
Heater blower on vw transporter wont work
First check fuses. Then check wires. Then test switch.
After all these are exhausted you can think about replacing the fan. It ain't easy.
Get a Bently Workshop Manual as it is quite involved. Also get a fan replacement clip set for reassembly.
In a nutshell, the fan is encased in the air distribution box (clever, eh?) and that is buried behind the dash... which must come out!
Then you have to split the box by cutting it open at the seams, replace the motor/fan, and reassemble with the nifty clips and then reassemble your dash.
If it sounds like too much fun, you are right. I lived without a fan for years for this very reason.
1976 VW Van Battery
The battery should be under the front passenger seat. Move the seat forward as far as it will go, and you'll see a metal plate (may be under the carpet), which comes off with four Phillips screws. To actually get the battery out, you will need to remove the seat.
Vw camper T2 bay ignition problem
Please re-post your question as it sounds like you are talking about the later vanagon and not the bay-window type 2 since the bay-window units did not have fancy idle control and stabilizer units.
Installation of a air flow meter in a 86 VW
I looked it up in the manual, but it says that your car is not equipped with a MAF sensor. You car is before OBD and computers were put in to run the car. It uses old fashon tech.
Replace fuel tank seals VW T25 vanagon
Dropping the fuel tank is rather involved. Beyond this sort of Q&A format.I suggest you get a Bently Workshop Manual and a seal kit from gowesty.com or similar.Also plan on replacing fuel hoses and a new filter would be a good idea.One word of caution. The plastic overflow tanks in each wheel well have nipples for the fuel lines that become quite fragile so BE CAREFUL! The tanks are not available new.
I have a vw type 25 diesl combi 1987 1.6 .the
More than likely it needs the "cup" part on the transmission as they are prone to failure. The part is available and the job is not too awful.
The Bently Manual is a much better reference and will walk you through it.
Combi motor
you have a lazy o2 sensor on one bank that is leaning out the mixture too much if it has a twin port intake manifold. if it is a common intake assembly,then check for an exhaust restriction like a bad catalytic converter on one side.
What engine oil should i use in my 1970 kombi
Any 5W30 will work fine, however because the oil coolers in 1970 and pre 70 VW were so marginal it is a good idea to put a full flow oil filter on and if you really want to do it a service you should consider a remote cooler or a post 70 VW dog house cooler that was larger and added to your oil capacity by about 1.5 qts and you can extend your oil change to 3000 mi. I am an avid Amsoil fan for proven reasons... I have a hard working F-350 power stroke diesel with 240,000 miles on it and still as strong as new thanks to Amsoil 100% synthetic. One thing about synthetics that will help your 70 is that they tend to make your engine run cooler, but be warned if you have an oil consumption condition now it will be aggravated by synthetics so in that case stick with a good quality name brand Dino oil like Shell or Esso etc.
