 |
|
Dear Samba,
Friend of mine is down with a broken diesel engine (JX) in Orleans France.
Need links, numbers etc to people and places near Orleans that knows the T3 and can help him back on road.
Any help is appreciated.
Happy driving
Jens Jakob

Try www.t3zone.com, it's the French t3 forum. If you can't figure out the French send me a pm here with the text and info and I'll put it up there for you.

what thor said.
it's a golf engine and there are plenty to be found used in france although it may all take time. i know a few good mechanics in france but not near orleans.
bon chance. |

Yes - he is in the hands of Charlie from Orleans - sound like good times.
Engine is busted, so he will probably park the car in Orleans, fly home, with his pregnant wife and extend the family, and then return later to Orleans for an engine swap.
But thanks a lot to all who helped.
Happy driving
Jens Jakob

Sounds just like T3nettet.dk in Denmark - remember that URL if you ever need backup in Denmark

Hi Alika,
The rear sliding window?
I have never seem them IRL.
But, somewhere I saw a description on how to cut up a sliding window from the mid-windows, and make it fit to the rear windows
I'll see if I can find that guide somewhere.
Happy driving
Jens Jakob
