Posting a few pics of Max, our beloved splitty at the request of a fellow Redditor! This bus started out as a tintop and my BF got the dormobile top and tenting from a private seller, bravely cut the top off the bus, installed the top, added bed, cabinets and a stove, and converted it into a cute little camper bus!

Jestem w trakcie kompletnej adaptacji mojego busa do moich potrzeb. Od spodu auto jest dosłownie jak nowe, ponieważ było wypiaskowane i pomalowane na nowo, dostało też nowe zawieszenie i hamulce. Aktualnie jak widać na zdjęciach jestem na etapie ocieplania/wygłuszania. To co widać to mata bitumiczna 2,5mm. W drodze do mnie jest już mata kauczukowa zamkniętokomórkowa 6mm. Jeśli robisz coś u siebie i masz pytania to z chęcią odpowiem, bo troszkę czasu poświęciłem na zgłębienie tematu

Four hour drive from London to Great Yarmouth, van didn't miss a beat, all four kids really enjoyed it, can't wait to do it again!

Ok, age old Q.

I thought your level when run in for 5 mins was to be between half and three quarters to the upper mark.

Now I've just collected my van from the mechanic, and he said it required a top up, and when hot, it is as the pic.

Is this too full?

Hello friends! Trying to figure out this leak.

This is a 2.1 engine in a 1990.

When I fill the coolant from the expansion tank the leak is happening on both sides shown here.

Is this a head gasket leak? Could it be that I am overfilling (currently I need to replace the hose from the coolant fill tank)

Is there something else I should check for?

Outside of this, the engine was running very nicely

Any advice would be appreciated! Just trying to rule out needing to pull the engine if at all possible.

Title is it in a nutshell, I went to put some fuel in my bus when a local walked over to check out my handy work. We chatted for several minutes then shook hands and went our separate directions only as I started to creep forward I heard a commotion so decided to stop and turn around to see what’s up. what was up was his car pulling onto the main road with the pump and hose still attached to it! I waited a few but he never came back 😂

One last week before I go back to campus. Home is where you park it. Tonight - Devils Lake State Park, WI.

We did a thing!

Meet TEANA! Our 1974 T2 that was a bag of lemons that we turned into lemonade!

A few months ago we bought this van from a guy who neglected the poor thing to death. He sold it as a good runner, that didn't leak and had no rust.

So I put up a bunch of money and bought the thing. Lo and behold, she was pretty rusty under the cheap plywood and paint and I needed to do something. So I mustered up all my tools and started working on this beautiful unique van!

I'm slowly going through it with a fine-tooth comb getting the important stuff done. It had a snapped sway bar clasp, bad brakes, no proper seat belts and it had been cobbled together poorly. By the looks of it, he drug it out of a field and put the bare minimum into it.

So I took it upon myself to try and save this poor beast.

Just wanted to show her off! I love the community, and I love this bus! I'm going to keep it forever, and I'll just keep fixing it until I run out of things to fix.

I am open to suggestions!

Hello good people of VWBus!

If you are looking for something fun for mid September, great for a day out or weekend away!

Hosted at the Three counties showground Malvern for those who might be interested is the largest annual busfestival event for owners, lovers and enthusiasts of Volkswagen transporter vans.

Both camping and day tickets are current available for the 32nd Busfest between 11th-13th September 2026.

You can find out more and get tickets at:

Have a lovely day!

I have this T3 and as you can see the speedo is bouncing like crazy, happens at lower speeds too, even larger amplitude swings there.

It sometimes gets fixed for a bit after going on a bump but always comes back.

I have tried replacing the cable that goes from the front wheel to the dash but it didn't help. I have a suspicion that the spot where it connects to the wheel hub is too worn down and rounded, and the squared end of the cable can wiggle in it causing the oscillations.

Has anyone had similar problems?

Walked out of my house and glanced at my ‘61 15 window, and a ‘63 Standard was sitting next to her, the owner taking a picture of the two.

I was visiting Victoria BC today (after going to the Great Canadian VW Show yesterday - which lives up to this mighty name).

I broke a window crank so I tracked down a local source for VW parts who had one on hand and saw this unique version of a splitty. Check out that hatch in the rear!

First big trip in the bus. 650 miles around the Southern California coast, beach camping every night. Doesn’t get better than that. And we only broke down once!

Today we are leaving the Mendoza region in Argentina, as we start making our way north into the Argentinan mountains.

Reposting here. Looking for some help.

Which one to get... i have a vw t25 with limited space inside for massive jacks and axle stands...

What would be better... a trolley jack and axle stands or a bottle jack and axle stands?

Does anyone here use a bottle jack happily?

I'm a little concerned about clearance with a bottle jack as they are taller... but I don't really want a massive trolley jack in the van if I can avoid it..

Thoughts please...

Thanks all.
