    Picked up Sid, my new and first Camper last Tuesday and really excited to get out and have some fun in it. Mechanically it seems sound, 125k and an Reimo conversion with rear galley kitchen, captain seats and sliding rear seats which link to the font seats to make a double bed. Drove it back...

    When I start my T5 the engine temperature stays at minimum level for 10 or 15minutes. Then it slowly rises to about 70C during normal around 1800rpm If I drive at around 2200-2500 rpm it will rise to 90C, however if I go back to 1800rpm the engine temperature will go down to 70C I assume the...

    The water pump on my 1997 T4 2.5 TDI LHD Multivan has failed, and a couple of hoses damaged by oil. First a slight dip in water reservoir, then suddenly all the water drains in a steady stream, so I am stranded except to limp to somewhere for a replacement. Back home in England my very reliable...

    I have a '99 2.5 Auto Caravelle. The engine was replaced recently but there seems to be a "wee" leak from somewhere. Its loosing a good bit of water from somewhere between the back of the block and the bulk head. I've been looking but for ages but just can't seem to find the source. The water...

    I am , as the title suggests, drunk, but i was wondering if campers ever have hot water tanks fitted that are insulated and are heated by the engines own cooling system, just like the ones that many people have in their houses. ?
  8. Engine & Gearbox
    I only noticed this the other morning due to sitting in traffic for 40 mins at the end of a journey - and only then when the red light started flashing....... It seems the fans aren't kicking in, so I'm guessing either a dodgy connection or thermostat issue - can anyone give me some pointers...

    As far as I can work out my factory fitted Eber is designed to only help improve cold start coolant warm up. Does any one know if it can be converted/replaced with one that will give stationary heating as well? Thanks Martin

  12. Engine & Gearbox
    Was checking my oil and water today, no losses in either fluid, however I am more than a little concerned that there was a thin film of an oily substance on the inside of the oil cap and also some small black flecks of what appear to be oil in the water reservoir. Is this the start of something...
