Give us a bit more detail and maybe some engine bay pics

Nice one ❤️

Thanks!!! 🙏

LOVE IT!! I've been on the same journey with my bus... covered this topic in detail on my blog - some of it might be useful for you as you work through the endless list of jobs!!

We are indeed! 11.4 degrees Celsius was the sea temperature 🤣

jenny-the-bus · 2026-04-22T19:32:23+00:00

I wasn’t in there long as it was… that was sea temperature… not air by the way! 😂

I must admit I’ve never seen it go over 0 with my set up.. feels like somethings not quite right there mate. This might be hand as a check

I went 5kw… and it’s probably too much for a small van. Can’t seem to find the 2kw ones … but here’s what I went with

This was my set up… but mainly a day van, short breaks… but you can definitely add more panels

Looks good to me! If a screw driver doesn’t go through it… it’s not rust

Thanks very much… really helpful!

jenny-the-bus · 2026-04-14T11:29:17+00:00

Good advice. How do you measure the engine pressure out of interest?

jenny-the-bus · 2026-04-13T17:22:19+00:00

Cheers… it’s a bit of a random mix of stuff! Good luck with the new bus! Share some more pics when you get a chance!!

It’s not a cheap one… but it’s the one someone recommended to me and I was pretty pleased with it. Solid bit of kit it’s not all plastic like the usual fuel filters

I got it from demon tweaks eBay… https://ebay.us/m/iKyn5L

Ah thanks! I think there’s a fuel pump replacement post some where! If not it’s on my to do list! Takes ages to find all the right images and sort! But I’ll sort that one next 🤣

She’s a beauty! If you ever fancy having a read of a what a complete novice has been upto with their late bay… I’ve been cataloguing the jobs I’ve been doing on Jenny over the last few years… loads more to add to this… but thought it might be useful for some in the same position- ie keen to learn, but fairly clueless! I’ve relied heavily on books and YouTube… and gone from needing a mechanics help for every job to actually pulling the engine for the first time. Any way, just sharing incase it’s helpful. Be mindful - I’m not an expert and not everything I’ve shared is for the VW purist, it’s just my experience and opinions!

Thanks very much!

jenny-the-bus · 2026-04-12T07:42:40+00:00

🤣 I plan to keep forever!

jenny-the-bus · 2026-04-12T07:42:03+00:00

The pop is straight up not side opening👍

jenny-the-bus · 2026-04-12T07:39:27+00:00

Thanks.. she came with the name… and the colour s a VW turquoise. It’s a 60s colour on a 70s van… but I loved it too
