VW campervan killer lose on your forum...:(
Hi there -
I am an eager VW campervan owner with a beautiful blue and white caravelle. It took me ages and ages to save up for - I bought a 2001 model because I thought a bit extra spent would save me on bills later.
But then, in a hurry to pick up my son from school I filled its tummy with petrol instead of diesel and then drove it for ten miles. The poor vehicle died. The fuel injection pump was broken. It's a horrible situation and the guilt is pretty bad.
The poor van has now sat at the garage for about six months because I haven't yet been able to afford to buy a new pump/fix the old one/pay for the labour.
I'm about to put a shout out for a spare fuel injection pump for a 2001 Caravelle, which I am willing to spend a moderate (but not a ton) of money for.
If anyone knows of any Caravelle fuel injection pumps that are going spare.....
It's not a good way to enter a forum....I still love me van and hope to see it drive soon.
Hi there - it's 2459cc. I'll go and look on ebay immediately. The main problem seems to be the year, 2001 - it's an unusual one and the parts seem to be a bit one-off.
Thanks for your help - Sophie
Would you be able to send me the link to the part? I don't seem to be putting the right search in! PS I'm in the Uk so I'm looking on ebay.co.uk...
Right, found it on ebay. I've emailed them - and am hoping it's the correct year....
Thank you..
Sophie
Yeah the one I was looking at is item no. 290729781050 cheers.
