VW Transporter

The gross weight of a 1969 Volkswagen Bus is 2,723 pounds. The VW Bus was produced between 1968 and 1971.

With hub adaptors yes

very well could be a bad switch.

FOR EXAMPLE, IF THE BLOCK NUMBER IS C2DE 6015 BA, THE FIRST DIGET 'C' MEANS THE YEAR, SIXTY'S C= 60'S D=70'S E=80'S SECOND DIGET IS THE YEAR, IN THIS CASE IT WOULD BE A 1962! THE 6015 IS A NUMBER THAT FORD USES! THE OTHER NUMBERS I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY MEAN, SO SOMEONE HELP ME OUT!!! THANKS; REGGIE B. The first digit is the decade, the second is the year, the third is the car line, the fourth tells you what system the part is for. E is an engine part, B is a body part, F is a fuel system part, etc.. with all factory replacement parts having a Z as the fourth digit. 6015 is what's called the group number. This means that it is some kind of an engine block. 9510 is a carb, 9425 is an intake manifold, etc... and the last one or two digits tell you how many times the original design of the part has been changed. The number given as an example is not an actual casting number that Ford used, since they didn't start using double digit design level change designations until the 70s, but, if it were a real number, it would be telling you that this is the first change of the second design of an engine block that was originally designed for use in a 1962 Falcon.

Auto Zone has instrustions on how to this. We however found it was easier to remove the passanger tire and go that way instead of removing the blets.

The tank capacity of a T4 VW Transporter is 70 Liters.

I'd like to know, also. It couldn't be very heavy, because, when one was blocked in by other cars on a street near the beach, I picked up the front end and dragged it out, so the owner could drive it away. I think that 6 guys could probably carry one.

First you have to remove 3 screws to remove the front/top cover of the radiator.

Then you have to remove four bolts (10mm) to release the radiator. Then you can lift the radiator up and tilt the top of it "out of the car". This will give you a bit more room to work.

I know people who remove the radiator completely to get better access. No matter what you do the glow plugs are hard to remove. First you need to remove the 8mm screws (one for each glow plug) that is connected to the power. Then you have to use a 12mm tool to get the glow plug out. You can use a long socket (12mm) to get one or two out. The rest needs another tool.

This tool can be bought cheap at certain hardware stores. They do the job. No need to pay a lot of money on a tool you will use every 5 -7 years..

Without this tool, it will take many hours. With the right tool you can do it in 45 min. If you have done it a few times it will take you 30-35 min. I used 1,5 hours the first time.

When you have replaced the glow plugs with new ones put the car together again.

You will most likely need a magnet too, so you don't loose nuts and bolts down under the engine. And it can be handy to use when you put the 8mm nuts on again. You can not fit your hand down anywhere on this car.

I have seen a speed mechanic on a video that changes the plugs in just a few minutes. But he removes the diesel pump and everything connected to the pump AND the radiator. But he has clearly done this MANY times. There is no need to remove these parts IF you have the right tools.

The VW Caravelle T4 is NOT the easiest car to change glow plugs on. I find it strange that the design of this car/engine have placed them so little service friendly.

It the engine had been tilted so the glow plugs was on top it would have taken 4-6 min max.

An omnibus is one.

The contents of the Volkswagen biodiesel statement appear below:

This information is correct at time of publication/review 3rd March 2010

Standard Forecourt Fuel - BS EN 590

Volkswagen Group does approve the use of diesel fuel containing up to 7% Biodiesel in all of their diesel vehicles. The

change to legislation on 1st April 2010, insists that fuel suppliers must use at least 3.5% Biofuel in diesel production. In

accordance with European legislation (Directive 2003/30/EC) the Biofuel content in forecourt fuel will gradually increase

over the next few years, to meet the objective to reduce the lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions produced by road

transport.

Filling station forecourts supply diesel (to the standard BS EN590), which can now contain up to 7% Biodiesel with at

least 93% Fossil fuel. The use of this fuel requires no modifications to the vehicle or changes to the vehicles'

maintenance schedule.

Important: BS EN 590 is approved for vehicles fitted with a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF).

B30 Biodiesel

Volkswagen Group does not approve the use of B30 Biodiesel in any of its vehicles. B30 Biodiesel is a blend of 70%

Fossil fuel and 30% Biofuel, derived from Fatty Acid Methyl Ester (FAME). The use of this fuel in Volkswagen Group

vehicles may invalidate the engine and exhaust system warranty.

100% Biodiesel

Certain Volkswagen Group vehicle models are approved to run on 100% Rapeseed Methyl Ester (RME) Biodiesel. 100%

RME Biodiesel compatible parts fitted during manufacture of the vehicle is denoted by the vehicle PR code 2G0, which is

found on the data sticker; however some of the older vehicles may not have this PR code. Always refer to the Owner's

Handbook and factory information regarding the vehicle's compliance with Biodiesel before using this fuel type. In

vehicles that are 100% Biodiesel compatible, Volkswagen Group has only approved the use of Rapeseed Methyl Ester

(RME) to standard DIN EN 14214. No other Biodiesel can be used.

Important:

• Vehicles that do not have the factory preparation for Biodiesel cannot use 100% Biodiesel.

• Vehicles fitted with a Common Rail fuel injection system cannot use 100% Biodiesel.

• Vehicles fitted with Pumpe-Duse injectors cannot use 100% Biodiesel.

• Vehicles fitted with a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) cannot use 100% Biodiesel, however EN590 containing up

to 7% Biodiesel is approved for use with DPF.

• 100% Biodiesel vehicles cannot be used in temperatures below -10°C.

• The use of 100% Biodiesel may slightly reduce the driving performance of the vehicle and slightly increase the

fuel consumption.

• The use of 100% Biodiesel may increase the frequency of the maintenance schedule on the vehicle.

It depends where or not the case has the hanger mounts at the bottom of the case, for the hanger bolts [universal case ] you can get an adapter that runs of the oil pump ,you will have to use the front tin wear with heater pipe holes from the kombi and the back tin behind the fan which clips over the back of the case ,this allows you to fit the big rubber seal which should run around inside the engine compartment Its very do able just need to keep an eye on the adapter bolts periodally

Assuming the US spec version with the 1.7l it will be 210mm, Countries that used 1.6l would have the 200mm.

The asr button stands for Anti Spin Regulation and uses the abs system to assist pulling away on slipery surfaces by putting the brake on of the wheel that is slipping hence all the drive goes to the wheel with grip.it also limits engine revs. By pressing the asr button you can turn this function off, giving the driver full control of the amount of wheel spin,and full throttle. Some trucks use this system and drivers use the asr button to disable the asr when pulling away on a a hill where they need to gain momentum with higher engine revs

Where is the fuse box on a t4 van

i take it were talking Renault here if so definitely not bent at best bent valves or worse could of done the piston in if you buy a french car eg Peugeot 1.8 2.0 etc same on a Renault 1.8 2.0 etc if people say tapets are noisey don't touch with a barge pole as this is a common sign of a cam belt that has snapped and hasn't been repaired properly and the most expensive and common fault on scenics is the gearboxs £2000 by Renault

Alternator is accessible from under the vehicle, a/c compressor needs to be loosened to get to it.
