Very nice.  I have one of those too
A 1.9D '84 T25 (originally a 1.6D)

Here is the '79 Bay Westy mentioned in my other post.

Oh,and a '71 Bay Pickup

A '70 1200 Beetle

Two more beetles, '72 1200 & '73 GT, and a rolling chassis from a '74 
beetle...
You may have guessed, classic vws are a bit of a passion of ours...

With regards to yours, looks ok to me.  Water-cooled.  What engine do you 
have, and what year is it?
Looking at your earlier posts I see you mentioned '79....this would be 
HIGHLY unlikely....the first couple of production years for T25 were 
*air-cooled* only...and yours is most *definitely* water-cooled, so anywhere 
from '83 onwards.
That interior is going to need some serious work if you're going to any 
extended camping it.

Here's some pics of my T25 interior, which hopefully should give you some 
ideas of what can be made to fit.

And here's a pic of the bay window's interior.  Slightly less room, but just 
as workable.

Also, if you're heading away in April.  Try to get as much camping under 
your belt as you can before you go.  Its only by using it for your intended 
purpose that you work out what extras are needed, whether the interior 
you've set up is workable, and what bits are superfluous.

yup. got a couple of ideas and will go out locally and see what im missing 
or what i think works better

That doesn't seem right, as from the pictures it has the bottom grill which 
was for the watercooled ones. Are you sure it is not the Watercooled 1.9 
petrol?

Also agree that the 1983 date would seem to be the one.

well its petrol :-)  i was only going on what the Oz guy told me (it was his 
German girlfriends and paperwork in her name)  and she didnt know the 
differance.

The engine reciepts from 05 for 2300eu (breakdown of all parts, inc 1000eu 
for L and R cylinder heads), i can understand a bit, but a lot is 
handwritten and cant make out sod all...

Im off to my local mechanice on Thur, so he will be able to tell me...

thanks...i can tell a early or late car, which year..spec etc on 70 and 80's 
Celica's cos  had loads, but this being my first VW etc  its all 
new...learning bits as i go along, so please dont think im stuuuupid :-)

No, its *definitely* **NOT** air-cooled....You have 2 grills on the front, 
and if you look under them you'll see a dirty great radiator...this I 
promise!
Air-cooled vans don't have the lower grill, because they don't have a 
radiator, and don't need the extra grill
Its is most definitely a *water-cooled* van.

If for some extremely bizarre reason someone has done an air-cooled 
conversion I'd walk away from it as fast you can, preferably after you've 
pushed it off a cliff!
>
> 15.05.79 datum zu K

They didn't make water-cooled T25's in '79.  Even if it was manufactured in 
'79 and registered later, its would NEVER have been water-cooled, and  would 
only have *ONE* grill on the front.

Someone has either hugely dicked around with this van or you have false 
paperwork.

The information you are giving me is throwing up *HUGE* warning sirens in my 
mind!

yes i looked...i can see a big rad behind the grill...in the engine bay 
seems to be lots of water pipes.

i opened the rear hatch (broke key inside barrel) from the inside after 
taking the inside panel off and took a look at the engine.

It has a tag, from the garage who fitted it (tells type of oil to use etc 
etc) the date and some info and it matches the paper work, which matches all 
the chassis numbers (number plates have changed as its been in W and E 
Germany)

\Where would i find the chassis number?  i found some FAQs online but didnt 
tell me this

Im a little drunk...me and next door was sat inside it (on the drive) 
exploring it and playing around...

Where would i find the rear fog light switch? someone as you can see, has 
fitted the 2 front fogs (found that  switch!!)

I found a fog light switch on the dash, with a little LED and a 2 throw 
switch....only seems to work the fronts.

The guy flew back to Berlin, then drove it over for me last week (hes 
working here for a year, hence wanted a English car, and with a new baby and 
here, no use for the camper)

I know the headlights, and if has a single fog light, that needs changing, 
oh and the broken locks for the MOT

If you look under the front just behind the front wheels you will find the 
Chassis number stamped into the chassis, think it will be on the UK offside, 
passengers side for your van.

Probably be an aftermarket switch as German vans of that era didn't have to 
have to have a rear fog light although UK spec ones did. I fitted a single 
one from Halfords on mine.

You can pass a mot with beam benders on. Not sure at what year you need the 
fog light for the UK, but easy enough to fit one.

It seems pretty simple to fit, i know if it was fitted to only one side in 
Germany, it has to be switched to the other side...but not sure if it must 
have one if none at all, i had many oldish cars that had none as standard 
and was fine..

thanks..

This morning i called in at the local GSF and there was a guy with his T25 
so i asked him to look over mine, he was well impressed how origonal it is, 
condition etc etc..

I then had to go and collect a camping loo from a freecycle person, she has 
one too....and she looked at mine, i took her for a drive as hers is having 
a new clutch fitted and she said her mechanic has worked on them for years, 
so he took a look...agian saying its solid, just a little tatty inside and 
everything else is fine....says its worth a damn site more then what in 
effect it cost me..

Staying on this rear fog light thing , am I not correct in thinking that the 
one rear fog light had to be positioned on the off side (drivers side) of 
the vehicle.
If the above is correct, how the hell do Peugeot 206's (I think that's the 
car ) seem to now get away with placing it right in the middle of the car ?

Centre is allowed see my link to the MOT manual two post up. Extract here:

The inspection of rear fog lamps is confined to the one rear fog lamp which 
is required to be fitted to the centre or offside of
vehicles first used on or after 1 April 1980.
Note: On some vehicles the front fog lamps need to be switched on before the 
rear fog lamp(s) will work
.
Note: A rear fog lamp is permitted to operate independently of headlamp, 
position lamp or ignition systems.

Thanks for the link to the MOT
makes for an interesting read.

A good site, but I suspect that some of the data on the MoT station finder 
is incorrect, four of the addresses for MoT stations in my area have wrong 
post codes listed and when you click on their addresses to find their 
locations on the maps they ALL point to... somewhere in the good old USA.
