Old Post I realize but seems as good a place as any to post on.

The tank I got ended up with the 7mm outlet, it is going in my 86. I had a square pre pump filter AND the post pump steel filter.

I purchased my Rockford Boots back in 2015.

I did not clamp them to the axle shaft.

I just passed 5 years and almost 40,000kms ( 25,000 Miles ). No rips or tears anywhere upon recent inspectio ...

Awesome thanks for the link to that guy, I'll check it out.

I haven't physically installed my V6 bearing yet but cut the end off so it's ready for install.

I ended up using the old smushed up b ...

Ok, that's good to know, thx for this !

My load of seals and goodies just arrived from various sources to start reassembly of this motor and start all the wiring and fun.

hey Rev: Just to backtrack as I go through your pics.

You mentioned you had an Auto AEB. I see you added an extension onto the crank end to mimic the nosecone portion of a manual transmission. Did ...

OK good to know.

I already have the Weddle clutch cross shaft when I did my current conversion and all that.

I have that new Sachs stock Clutch disc. Maybe I'll combine that with my KEP St2 ...

Rev, I read you used the KEP Clutch / P Plate.

Did you choose the std type pressure plate and clutch scenario or something more beefed up ?

I asked because I recently purchased a used FAS kit th ...

Thats awesome, thanks for taking the time to upload those. I was able to find the diagrams elsewhere on the internet and got my wiring done. Those photos will hopefully prove to be very useful for ...

I believe I read a request here looking for pinouts. I purchased the Passat manual from Bentley ( although I read there were a couple errors in the pinouts labelling ! ).

I couldnt open door wide enough to the left to open the ice box.

Seemingly late to the party, I got a deal on a TF49 I couldn't pass up and did the deed.

Instead of cutting up my clean 86 cabinet I decided to experiment with an old 82 style cabinet I had lying a ...

OK so here's a tip while rebuilding and disinfecting your heater box

The back of the controller board has a spot for a 12V LED connection.

It will flash certain codes to tell you where a fault may lie.

Look up Truckfridge fault codes and it will explain somewh ...

Thanks for sharing !

I also had to fool around with the PPM setting to get better response as I also had the +- 5mph diff that drove me nuts, readjusted the cable a pile of times before i realiz ...

The control wire to the 120-902 should NOT be from 'ignition on'.
It should be from a source that is 'off' during starting but on when key on or engine running. This is easy to do. The fuse could be ...

I got the same clearance problem too.

I LOVE the idea of doing this but I haven't played around enough to try and get to the point of installing the fan somehow, yet retain the factory height o ...

Beginner here raising his hand too !

I also spent a lot of time perusing through SO many threads

I hope this isn't seen as a hijack ( not intended ) but thought maybe my questions may help the ...

I took my CLK rims into them, said I wanted the light Truck tires installed on my 1999 Mercedes CLK 320, they said "OK" and I picked them up a few hours later.

I knew going in they would ...

Good Day. I dragged home an 82 Parts Westy in Nov with an 84-86 Interior. I took the fridge out ( an RM182A ) and it fired up so nicely on propane, etc. and super clean everywhere.

Where the coolin ...

I am hoping my attempt at Xooo0oooX excellent 50 degree AEB documentation (clocking turbo and modding the oil return line) will work as straight forward is it seems.

I would hesitate to jump down t ...
