Hi All,I have a few questions.All the pics for the
following question can be fould here:
http://sky.prohosting.com/~74thing/oilpump/oilpump.html
1. Oil Pump
The oil pump I pulled from my engine is not the type 4
oil pump pictured in any of my books.
Can anyone tell me what pump it is?
To me it looks like a type 1 oil pump.
Will a type 1 pump work OK in the type 4 engine?
There are no VW markings, the only markings I can make
out are on the cover & there are:
8MM
USA
2. Warm Air Blower VW # 070-256-051The Plastic
housing the surrounds the warm air blower fan attached
to the Alternator has melted on the bottom and lets
air out.
Does anyone know it it can be repaired some how or
should I find one in good condition & replace it?
3. Left Rear Engine Tin
One of the previous owners removed tha AC my westy had
& when they did they put this in for
the Left rear tin.
It is made of fiberglass and does not fit very well
and is badly cracked in a few places.
I want to replace it with an original piece. If anyone
haas one or knows where I can get one please let me
know.
