Might one of you enlightened lads or lassies be able to suggest the best manual for working on the kombi. I suspect it might be Bentleys but not sure. As I am fully up to speed on type 3's fastbacks variants and beetles, I just want to make sure I,m sourcing the finer points of type 4 info from the best source. On another note I am working with vw's since I had my first one at 17, and am now pushing 70 . so less hair, fewer teeth, a touch grumpier , but love everything VW.
Bentley is very helpful (there is a download for a pdf on here somewhere). Haynes is also good for cross referencing and sometimes ease of a quick piece of information!

It is not really compatible to German production M-Plate. And I could not find a simple decoding instruction for this South Africa plate. Also searching at this forum: https://www.aircooledvwsa.co.za First line looks like part of the FIN. 056 could be similar to German a steering lock. The red color and brown interior I expected something as 140 for red and 57/53 (see https://www.aircooledvwsa.co.za/viewtopic.php?f=89&t=36641 ) Looks like to decode this is still a challenge... regards,
Now that I have introduced my self, should I be starting a thread on my bus in some other part of the forum if I need to discuss different parts of the forthcoming resto, so that I dont clog up the intro thread with resto information. And if so, where would that be, thanks,.
I’ll attach a few links for your perusal. https://thelatebay.com/index.php?threads/buying-a-bus-vw-type-2a-and-2b-novice-guide.55487/ https://thelatebay.com/index.php?threads/things-new-vw-bay-owners-should-know-thread.19058/ You’ll be as wise as us after reading those two. We don’t know a lot
