Cracked Engine Head!

Post by vweddy69 » 4th August 2017 - 4:19pm

Turns out I have a cracked head on my type 4 engine, not the best news. Anything out there?

Just to add to my woes the dynamo has failed and will need to be repaired, any advice on this?

On the alternator front you should be able to source a replacement or get yours repaired by a specialist.

You could try a wanted ad on here or search ebay / samba for a replacement head
