Technical Information Resource Links - Doob - 06-01-2023 Although I cannot confirm the accuracy of the content, I have found the following website links useful when researching technical information related to my Kombi. I know some of these links already appear elsewhere within this forum – but I thought it might be useful to start compiling them in one forum thread. ClubVeeVub – Based in Sydney – has a great reference section. https://www.clubvw.org.au/vwreference/ Rob & Dave’s Aircooled Volkswagen Pages – focus on Bugs rather than Buses but some great information here. http://www.vw-resource.com/index.html Ratwell.com website (based in USA) – massive amount of information https://www.ratwell.com/ Thesamba.com website archives (based in USA ) In particular, the technical section https://www.thesamba.com/vw/archives/info/ https://www.thesamba.com/vw/archives/lit/ For a great range of VW Manuals (mostly USA but includes a 1976 Sopru Owners Manual) https://www.thesamba.com/vw/archives/manuals/type2.php Glossary of VW terms https://www.thesamba.com/vw/archives/dic/index.php For Part Numbers and exploded assembly drawings https://volkswagen.7zap.com/en/rdw/ Go to typ2/syncro and select the year. Also, rawtell’s microfiche collection https://www.ratwell.com/technical/Microfiche.html For VW Solex Carburetor Types, Base Flange Numbers Matching BOSCH Distributor numbers and stock carburetor jetting data.

RE: Technical Information Resource Links - Doob - 11-01-2023 Also -  previous post by Adrian https://kombiclubaustralia.com/showthread.php?tid=29 RE: Technical Information Resource Links - Mordred - 11-01-2023 I agree that is a much more comprehensive list.  The Speedy Jim one below for fuel gauges is a big help. Ill add it here so it is in the same thread. Speedy Jim's Home Page, Aircooled Electrical Hints Electric Fuel Gauges (speedyjim.net) Adrian RE: Technical Information Resource Links - Doob - 14-01-2023 There is a Facebook page called "VW Dealer Literature Library" https://www.facebook.com/groups/664574928002723 Mostly German documents - but occasionally find something in English. There are some Australian dealership broachers RE: Technical Information Resource Links - Mordred - 07-02-2023 Another one I have come across. https://oldvolkshome.wetwesties.org/ The ignition Distributor Spec link is amazing for looking up settings and the type originally fitted to various engines. And a good ref for measurement for the RNR bed hinges. https://aircooledcommunity.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/rock-and-roll-bed-plan-hinges.pdf Adrian RE: Technical Information Resource Links - Doob - 21-03-2023 Cross reference to a great post from Adrian  https://kombiclubaustralia.com/showthread.php?tid=553 http://oacdp.org/ Obsolete Aircooled Documentation Project website RE: Technical Information Resource Links - Doob - 03-05-2023 Volksbolts is a supply company based in the UK. In addition to their parts catalogue - the website has a good Technical & FAQ section. http://www.volksbolts.com/faq.htm [ Also have a facebook page -   https://www.facebook.com/volksbolts/] Although the range of technical topics is limited - the depth of detail makes for some interesting reading. Topics include;    Stainless steel bolts Electrical Crimp Connectors VW Codes Fuel Hoses Combustion Process & Ignition timing Maintenance & modifications (mainly Beetle focused)  Some of these section links are referenced in other posts on this Kombi club forum.  Cheers, Grant. RE: Technical Information Resource Links - Wombatventures - 04-05-2023 I know I've put it in other threads, but if anyone wants a PDF version of the Haynes or Bentley's manuals PM me and I can email them on. I also have a heap of others covering T3/Vanagon and other non Kombi VWs. I'd rather share them around for everyone than hold onto them. RE: Technical Information Resource Links - Doob - 17-04-2024 Cross reference to a KCA post from Orangina a few days ago ..
