T5 Transporter Rocker Cover Gasket

The issue with the accelerator cable and pedal WAS a bloody Toyota van.

Ah, well. What luck.

I wonder what is the most reliable people mover from Europe? If I cared not for the planet, my wallet or fit/finish I would buy an F350 V8 12 seater. Not much can go wrong with a car that is still using technology from the 70's!

Couldn,t agree with you more if you do some research on American vans [not Dodge any more they are now only Mercedes ] a fully loaded Ford or Chevy van with 6cyl or v8 will set you back a miserable $30 - $40 thou . But lack of RH drive is the killer for us .

What are the torque settings for the rocker cover bolts? Also, any tips for accessing the rear bolts?

[Transporter]

Remove the air filter box to get more room from the side. The torque is 15Nm. Make sure you clean the area well before you remove the rocker cover, to prevent the dirt entering inside the engine.
