Thank you for the reply David. I'm glad to hear it is still working well for you. That is one strong vote for paying a lot of money for..... foam. Still can't believe it. 
Did you go with soft, firm, extra firm foam?

Interior! / Heater is blowing foam
« on: August 12, 2015, 12:47:42 pm »
Well, my heater is blowing foam out the vents. I've seen a couple "how to" pages online to fix this problem. This one is probably the best: http://1705.net/archives/1085. I believe the person who wrote it up is even on here. I was going to do a basic copy/paste on our van. I started by ordering up the foam from McMaster Carr but when I saw the total I hesitated. A little over $200 in FOAM!
I'm looking for a little feedback from those that have been there/done that. Some of the other write ups suggest an aluminum tape. How's that holding up? How about the originator of the 1705 post, how's that foam holding up? I don't mind paying if that's the best option. I just want to look at my options first. If there is a cheaper, quality way to do it, I'm all ears. However, I rather pay $200, than do it again next year.

The caliper bracket mounting bolts are also larger than the early T4s. Grab those as well if you can.

Weird that they have such different styles. Also disappointing to hear that the fitment is so frustrating. Thanks for the info, back to the regularly schedule Dylan build. :-)

That three window tent looks different than the other 3 window tents you have been installing.... trying a new supplier? I like the looks of this one from the outside but the big "v" side windows on the other tents might be nice from the inside. I'm going to need to be purchasing a new tent soon so I'm just looking at the options.

I really like those Dokas. I wish we could register them here in the US. I still have a few more years to wait.....

« on: July 10, 2015, 04:26:18 pm »
Gotcha! I'm zero help with that. Sorry. 
The B4 is pretty plug/play. I had to add a couple wires from the fusebox to the cluster plug to carry the signals from the sensors VW didn't include in the EV.

Sorry, I'm a bit confused. Are you using a B4 or MK4 cluster? I used a B4 cluster with MFA when I swapped in the TDI.

Shiny things you no longer want / Re: *SOLD*: Upper ball joint puller for VW EuroVan/Transporter
« on: July 08, 2015, 02:08:52 pm »
I've been considering both options. Another person asked to buy the kit also. I'm kinda leaning towards rental though. They do rentals quite a bit in Europe for this tool kit and it seems to work out. They rent the TDI timing belt tool kits here in the US and it seems to work out.
This tool kit is something that would make all our lives easier, and not something any of us are going to need for very long.... I have a 10yr old son that would love to send and receive this tool kit all over the US, I might just have to see if that works. First I need to put them to use here though.

Tires and wheels! / Spare Tire Upgrade
« on: July 07, 2015, 05:54:06 pm »
This is probably an unusual upgrade but someone may benefit from this information. I have a '99 that came with 15" wheels. I upgraded to 16" wheels and larger (01-03) brakes. However, I still had a 15" spare until recently. The 15" wheel wouldn't clear the larger brakes so if I had a flat on the front, I would have had to swap around wheels until I could use the spare in the rear. Luckily, that didn't ever happen.
Recently I found an 01-03 getting parted out. I took all the spare tire stuff hoping that it would fit my '99. I found that it was really easy to do. The spare tire "tray" and the spacers/fasteners at the rear are needed but that's it. They fit just like factory. It was quite easy and I'm glad to not have to worry about the tire swapping I'd need to do if I got a front flat. :-)
