Can't find out how much my 1986 VW camper van is worth ?Went everywhere .all sites just want to sell.I just want to know the price of what mine is worth.

For a vehicle that is 28 years old, the red book value would be close to junk value. However if you advertise it, it will be worth what some one is willing to pay for it. . Place the add in publications that cater for the traveller / back packer age group for best results.

Try engaging the lock handle or button and while doing so, pull latch down.

Try on-line parts store like gowesty.com, van-caf?.com or busdepot.com
Failing that, a junkyard like "pick n pull" or similar is a very good source for items like this.

There is a small round metal wire that comes out of the front center of the seat. If you sit on the seat, while depressing the wire down, and pivot using your body weight, the seat should turn. Sometimes spraying the black seat mount is necessary to lube it. You may have to remove the seat if rusty or very dirty. To do that, slide the seat as far forward as possible, then lift the small metal lever on the left side of the seat, to release the lock on the track allowing the seat to move forward off the track. Note: both the passenger and drivers seats should turn on your model.

I don't know about a caddy engine but a very successful transplant is the 2c toyota turbo engine.

how to wire a tachometer to a 86 vw golf diesel?

If it is really a 1986 the spec is 5 degrees before top dead center at idle.
Much better (and easier) to set at 35 degrees BTDC at 3000 rpm.

Hi try club 80-90. Its the best site on the net for t25s

The battery should be under the front passenger seat. Move the seat forward as far as it will go, and you'll see a metal plate (may be under the carpet), which comes off with four Phillips screws. To actually get the battery out, you will need to remove the seat.

try the front left wheel hub
