what does dichtheit geproft mean?


SKEWtYpe3 - February 7th, 2003 at 11:48 AM

i translated it using babel fish but it only recognised the one word, maybe guess the other or visit a german pub ?

dichtheit = tightness

:bounce

As SKEWtYpe3 said, dichtheit = tightness. The other word, geproft , is "inspected". It appears to be normally spelt with one of those "u"s with the two dots above it. Hope this helps.

lol. so its inspected for tightness. how interesting. Its stamped on the vents for kombi rear passengers. The ones that go in the duct on the front doors.

I'm so glad VW is thorough. Just imagine driving around with a loose vent!

Hey, mine are round! Where are yours located exactly?

yeah there's 2 different types. These ones go in buses without the wall behind the front seats. Instead of the armrest/duct being tapered off at the end at mating up with the round duct, these ones are just squared off at the end with that vent in the end. I got these off the kombi I just trashed. I was going to cut the wall out and put them in my orange kombi.

The ones I put in HellbusII are round like yours are I presume. Like the ones in the smashed 72 pics from dave becker. Got them from a different junker.

Wish I had a digital camera so I could take pics of my spunky new door trims. Now I just need the front kick panels, the wall (wish there was a proper name for it), and a headliner.

Chris,

I asked an old german mate of mine for his version - "seals checked"
