My T2 camper is stuck near Carcassone thats the largest near town Ive been to a lot of garages none of which know anything about an aircooled vw.Worse the main vw dealers from Nimes to Perpignan have a clue about any vw older than 2015 they said
Worse the virus and macron have made finding a garage difficult

If that does not help, contact Serial Kombi in ZA du Pruney (4 - 5 hours drive from you but in France) to see whom they sell parts to in your area.

Maybe put a shout on on VZi, I know Brian Burrows lives in France, he might have some contacts who can help.

Thanks i will try them.For now i rented a parking which i hope..in these strange times will be ok for a while.I had to pay for three month's
Shopping at Lidl i got a fuel leak,luckily it was where the line went into the carb. on the bend and there was enough pipe to cut the bad bit off...of course once a pipe is rotten the rest will follow..i have proper fuel line as the garage that changed the lines used their piping..which was air line..that was year and a half ago
I have changed one line but its a rotten job without a lift.
So im stuck Next ill see what a trailer or delivery cost is..if i can find one that's not only to get to a local garage
All the places i know are closed or closed permanently for retirement or just gave up leaving the workshop
I will make another post i just though i might get up towards Vienne dept 38..there was a good garage there auto passion i think at least he used to do a really good job not sure its still there or open

If 38 is near, Vintageautohaus in Cuzorn is nearer.
Not cheap from what I've heard but they seem to know how it's done
