Hello everyone. Seems there is an issue with Telstra (possible others) blocking email from our server. If you are trying to sign up I would suggest a different email if possible. If you're trying to reset your password and it fails please use the Contact Us page:

Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

  • Our T3 Syncro Camper

    Hi this is our T3 Syncro camper and one of his cousins our 61 split screen Michael. We have quite a few friend's with T3 Syncro campers who live on the North West Coast in Tassie. Here are a few snaps of one of many group excursions around the state.

    How come there are so many T3 Syncros in Tas? Do you know who would have purchased them new? Were they ex Government & then converted? I have been to Tas on several occasions & at the Salimanca markets there was always a T3 Syncro with a galv. step as a rear bumper. I think it might have been an ex Telstra van.
    Nice to see your photos.
    Understand how it works, troubleshoot logically BEFORE replacing parts.

      T3's

      Hi
      Our syncro was privately delivered new, having been converted by Trakka in Bondi Sydney. It has 161000 km and it is in great shape. Two of the syncro's in the pics were indeed ex Telstra, but there are a number of private delivered oned in Tassie. When I lived in Adelaide in the 70's and some of the 80's I bought a few ex pmg and telecom vans, these were always a good buy and usually with low km.

          I think you might be right about T3 Syncro's being used by Telstra. I remember seeing a few T3 Syncro's being used by Telstra when I used to live in NSW.
