Hi guys, Just a quick question, i notice my 1600 engine does not have any lower tins (the ones that cover the push rod tubes)... could someone please confirm these are the ones i need before i commit to buying?? thanks http://www.vwheritage.com/vw_spares_Lower-Tinware-kit-black-3pce-043119350KIT_act_shop.product_pID_101966_lang_EN_country_GB.htm
yes although being repro quality they won't fit and will leak hot air best bet is looking for German made ones at a auto jumble / swapmeet
I just fitted the JK ones, fit was not too bad, apart from a big gap along the left heat exchanger, although that may be because the heat exchangers are repro too. They did need some persuading to get on and one of the captive nuts broke away from it's weld while I was fitting them. Better than nothing I suppose, which is what I had before. I was installing a thermostat, I suspect that without the lower tins the thermostat would take longer to open, or not open at all at motorway speeds.
Try these guys, very helpful. Better to rin them though 8) http://www.partsemporium.co.uk/type%202%20vw%20camper%20bay%20window%20parts%20spares.htm
