Hi all!

I write here as my German language skills are limited to reading (and ordering beer in a pub ;) )

After searching for original Westfalia poptops for years (which are rare as hen's teeth here especially affordable ones) I bought a Westfalia hightop roof.

I decided to put on as a Mosaik Joker one as it involves the least cutting/welding. I searched through the internet and found the original manual for the roof itself and some other good blogs (like ) about installing the roof but...

Ok, but return to T3 :mrgreen: first T3 arrived in summer 2009 - typical orange Doka 2WD, nothing special

Bought them with engine in horrible condition soo I decide to put inside AAZ + 3H

But :mrgreen: i see another T3 in advert, so I remove engine and sell...

Hi Folks,

... I have a problem!
No more Fahrvergnügen with my beloved T1 Splitty for nearly two years now. Fact is, the drivers cabin doesn´t fit me properly anymore Now that all belly-reducing-attempts failed, I am looking for a technical solution. Anyone here who knows about smaller - like "racing" steering-wheels or driver-seats that might give me some more 10 to 15cm room for all of my body? (..and may get our germans MOT´s "okay"...?)
If you know about dealers for...

Hello VW bus lovers!

I couldn't find a place to post photos of VW shows so seen as I speak English I thought this section would do. Last weekend was Beautiful Budel, The VW Aircooled Festival in the Netherlands. The weather was perfect, the atmosphere was brilliant and the VWs were Beautiful!

Here's a few pics of the weekend. The old Beautiful Budel atmosphere is back!

Hello everybody!

I am trying to find TÃœV papers for Borbet A in VA 7,5x16 and HA 9x16 or Penta in VA 8x16 and HA 9x16.
The reason for this is that I am putting on Lorinser LO in VA 8x16 ET22 and HA 9x16 ET10 and I have to convince the Norwegian "TÃœV" that similar dimensions have been used before 8-)

I would appreciate any help!
Thank you in forehand and regards from Norway.

Hello all!
I am upgrading my JX motor to an AAZ, and I want to upgrade the brakes too.
I am thinking of THIS setup.
Does anyone have this installed yet? Does anyone have the TUV paper?

Hi everyone,

I wonder if you can help. Our 1989 vw t3 multivan 1.6td is in Munich. It has an oil leak and also a strange noise coming from the gearbox. Could anyone recommend a good garage that we can take it to in Munich please? We think it needs to be somewhere that specialises in vw t3 and which speaks English also!

Many thanks in advance.

Rob

Along with my shopping for a T3 Syncro camper I've been thinking about possibly just having one done by Reimo. It seems like you can still have them outfit a T3 with a brand new interior and hopefully a high roof. Does anyone know if this is still possible or even better has anyone here done that? It seems like I could buy a really nice standard Syncro for far less than in the states and having a new camper interior would be great. Just something I'm considering, I'd love to have something a...

Greetings all, I'm currently looking around in Europe for just the right Syncro T3 camper. I've been checking with Busman and mobile.de and autoscout24. I'm wondering if there is anywhere else people would advise looking? My ideal van would be a high top/poptop like the Carthago, Weinsman, Reimo style but I'm interested in other options if it's the right van. I'd also prefer a diesel. If anyone has any ideas or leads I'd love to hear them. I hope you don't mind us Americans trying to take some...

Hi guys

I bought a Whitestar with 1.6TD that was lazy, was eating 1L oil to 100km. I started to read the german section and saw that a lot of guy went with TDi engines. I wanted to stay with TD but with a little more power and Nm but to be in the "green" with the temps of oit and water and still cruising abobe 100km/h so i bought a 1.7KY block and cylinderhead. Started to disassemble the block, wash it and check everything inside. The crank was outworn, the bearings from conrods...

Hi to everyone, this is my first post. I am from St. Neots, in Cambridgeshire, UK and have owned five T3/T25's. My current one 'Wilma' is a 1.6TD California with 229k kilometres and she runs fine. I am trained in Graphic and Web Design but have just started manufacturing rear tables suitable for T3/T25 Westys. Not sure if I can promote my product just yet, I maybe have to get approval from the Administrators. If you want to make contact, feel free to PM.

Hi,

Does anyone know any good T3 garages in Berlin? Have a hire van there, they have a niggly problem with interior electrics which is probably straightforward but I've not been able to resolve over the phone. We tried yesterday but they are too busy to look at it for a week, and my customers plan to leave Berlin tomorrow...

Any suggestions gratefully appreciated!!
Cheers

Anybody know a workshop north of Hamburg who could weld some metal under the sliding door and round the mudguards?

Hello!

I am a native English speaker in Darmstadt, and just bought a Dutch '79 T2 with dormobile roof and original westfalia interior. My German is not terrible, and hope to be able to offer as much help as I will no doubt ask for!

The dreaded TüV is tomorrow, so I guess after that I might have quite a few questions about parts and repairs! Probably "what is the closest T2 welding specialist" !!!!

I have been fortunate to win a VW from 1975. Only thing is that Im in no need for a party van. So I would like to sell it to someone who can appreciate this rather special bus. Is not relly suitable for camping but must be rather cool as party bus I reckon!
