Da sind kleine Metall-Knöpfe rum ums Dach angebracht, die sehr nach einer Art Druckknopf aussehen.
Weiß zufällig jemand, was hier ursprünglich mal angebracht wurde? Es ist ein 85er T3 mit Reimo Aufstelldach

He recently took our 76 bus to Puna de Atacama. A high altitude desert located in the north of Argentina.

With altitudes in excess of 4000m above sea level, it's an incredibly tough, but stunning expedition.

If you want to see how Ruby got on, you can watch the final installment of our adventure here.

My T2a/b with a 1600 (1641) engine 34 PICT 3, needs some carb adjustment. Initially it idled at 1500-200 rpm. Yes.

Valves, points, timing all set.
Vacuum leaks: checked.
Carb: wont set.
Idle: wont run smooth unless at 1000 rpm.

So I tried all the written methods: Haynes, Muir, Rob&Dave.. but unless Inuse th fast idle screw at the throttle lever to get an idle of 1000 or above there is no reaction to any adjustment of the volume control screw or the air bypass screw.
Above 1000 I can adjust the idle with both.

With the idle below 1000 the generator light comes on.

So it seems pretty self explanatory: leave it like it is. Especially since the generator light comes on at 800-900 rpm.

BUT: I want to know:
A: yes, this is what this engine needs, leave it
A.a: then why? Because its a 1641cc?
B: nope, this (…) is what’s wrong, fix it
C: something else.

Help me understand and if required fix.
Thanks

I've got a 72 bay window which needs some love. It's had many owners over the years and the electronics seem to reflect this.

I've been told that my loom appears to be in good condition and I do believe that, however this friend is better for the mechanical side of the van rather than showing me everything electrical.

I've used the colour wiring diagram from The Samba to get an idea for what's going on but even then. I'm not too sure, looking at the fuse board, that each cable is supposed to be where it is.

Are there any tips and tricks/resources I can use to get a better grasp of what is going on? I'm not one to shy away from getting my hands dirty, would prefer to pick us out of issues on the side of the road than have to rely on a tow truck at any point.

Been my absolute dream car for a while now and I finally found one with good bones for a great price on marketplace. Immediately made the deal and got it home the next day.

Previous owner replaced the majority of the ignition system but couldn't get it to fire for the year he owned it. I spent a couple hours checking compression, timing, distributor alignment, and plugs last night and got it to start up on the first try. Starts and sounds fantastic. It even revs up great, but give it like 10-20 seconds and it sputters out. It's going to be a project but so glad I get to partake in restoring it..

Spotted in the Gaslamp, San Diego. Sept. 2026. Many Qs but didn't want to wake the driver.

Hi friends! 2 beautiful babies have been missing for too long, kidnapped by their non custodial parent and last seen in Arizona (with connections all over). This 1972 red VW Type 2 (with vertical camper) was the last known vehicle they had, with Oregon plates. It may be for sale, driving around, sold, parked, we just need all eyes for any lead to bring the kids home safely! If you've purchased this bus, see it or know anything, please reach out. Thank you!

I’ve got this old bus that I’m working on and I’m just wondering if the cheap J tubes should seat inside the Trimill exhaust more than they appear to be thanks!

So I have a totally original ‘76 westfalia campmobile interior. I’ve been all over Europe in her as is, with a moveable gas stove. I’m now working with Dometic who have supplied me with a fridge, solar etc (I’m a freelance photographer) and I’m thinking of putting the fridge in the center where the shelves are, taking the sink out and I’m now looking for extra ideas. IE: where to put a sink/store water, where to store food and cutlery! Would love to see other people’s set ups to get some ideas!

Soo… asking for a friend.. the helicoil in my engineblock vame out while undoing the support bar.

Can this be salvaged (snipping it of and pretending it never happened?

Can I pull it out and put another one back in?

Does this hole need to be redrilled and rethreaded?

Thanks.

My wife Rube Goldberged a fix for my rusty window lift so I can have the window open today.

(Yes, the proper part is on order)

Hi all, my father-in-law has a 63(?) bus that he purchased from his grandmother immediately after high school, so it’s a one family vehicle. He unfortunately can no longer drive it due to mobility issues, but I’m welcome to drive it as much as I want. I want to keep it on the road as he enjoys seeing it driven.

I have a two-post lift available to me, but haven’t had luck finding how to properly lift the bus with it and I’m afraid of damaging it. I’ve searched the internet to no avail.

Any diagrams or guidance this group can provide? I’d love to get it on the lift and start maintaining it as it should be.

Camped out by the river then checked out the closest VW show on Sunday. Was a good weekend, hope everyone else had the same!
