oil seal replacement
i did a 440km round trip to dalby today in my kombi and when i got home....YAY, the main oil seal behind the cooling fan on my T4 2 litre is gone, can
it easily be replaced in the car?? (82 van)
I have a haines manual for it, but its about as useful as just going at it with a hammer and seeing how it turns out.
its not too bad, it only lost a little oil, not even enough to bother toping the oil up, but its kinda messy and im wondering if i should do it before
Dubs by the humble pie this weekend or not (if i can even get a seal in time).
[size=4] '59 or Kombi?....feeling confused [/size]
'59 bug
'68 bug
'82 import T3 BUS. aircooled
