If you mean the front of the engine, between engine and transmission housing, then you have probably a worn oil seal. It's not a big deal, i had this problem...
My own personal opinion is that patience is the answer. Accept that you will experience baulky shifting for the first few minutes while your transmission oil...
I was able to find one at a local Auto Zone / Checker that fit for like $4.95 (non locking) Actually was chromed and looked pretty custom, like it was made for...
Dan, I saved one of your earlier posts: "For all you people looking for "U" joints, the NAPA part number is 813. Dan Fleming" 80} See also: NEAPCO 1-0321 ...
I swear I had read several times that people fit 215 75 15's in the front under-carrier. Well, the Michelin LTX 215's I've got don't seem likely to fit! I...
Larry Chase had his 215 75 15 LTX under the front. He removed the wire, used a bold. Aired the tire down and also ground the frame rails a wee bit. I saw it...
I got the Volkscafe.com modified carrier. I then put a couple hinge-extensions on to drop the rear of the carrier, where it hinges, and got a 225/60R16 in...
Thanks to all for the responces. By replacing the fuel filter [dirty] and cleaning the injectors the van runs good. A local german guy named Sid did a fine job...
Not really a syncro specific post but I'm trying to rehab the driver's side power window of my '89 syncro westie. I've got the motor/regulator partially...
... might just be stuck? dunno, mine came off after removing those two bolts (which was rather tedious) I have a bottom door panel speaker in each lower metal...
Ok I cant seem to figure out what this seal is called. Which seal do you ask? Its the one in the tranny right behind where the drive shaft is bolted up to. The...
Part # 094 311 189 I'd call it an output flange seal. Try Derek, AA Transaxle, Weddle, or a VW dealer. Where are your SDMe photos? Karl ... Ok I cant seem to...
So I talked to Dennis Haynes. He told me what the seal is called. He also told me to check that my tranny vent tube is not blocked.... WELL AFTER LIKE THE LAST...

Yesterday I helped my friend Mike put a Westy poptop on his 87 passenger Syncro. The top assembly was one I bought at a junkyard a couple years ago, from an 83...
Last summer the new number was: (813 has been superceded) NAPA 250-0070 for the U-joints 26111106113 for the rubber disc (ordered through Ken at Vanagain). ...
Yay, Mark! Please post the photos - can't wait to see them! Thanks much, Vee ________________________________________________________________________ Message:...
I liked getting this message today, it is helping me with the decision to do the same conversion. Having looked at doing the full on Westy bed conversion I...
I just measured the hole that the previous owner cut and it is 72 1/2" +,- x 48" +,- wide. Is this whole to big? Is it a waste of effort to just cut the tops...
The hole size I suggest for the easy small hole method is about 42.5" x 42.5". This leaves a level lip all the way around slightly more than 1" wide at the...
Kraig is correct ... sort of :) I did have a Mich LTX 215/75R15 in the carrier and now have a BGF TA 215/75R15 up there. But it has been modified by Seth...
Last night we took the TriStar TDI and the camera to the Quesnel River and we had some fun! Today I learned about MS Movie Maker software and made a 30 second...
Thanks all for the sunroof feedback during the week. I think if I am to cut a hole in the roof it might as well be for a poptop conversion so I will hold off...
Mike's new poptop is DONE and beautiful. It turned out very professional looking. We are really happy with the decision to finish the roof opening edge with...
