Moving day in the T3 doka
A helping family move day in the doka. When I got it I was convincing myself that somehow it would be ‘useful’ that I ‘needed’ it…Actually is superuseful all the time… Filled the thing to the top three times over and then took it for a wash… A fun day driving old junk and helping…

3D print door protectors for T3
3d printing door protectors for the T3 Doka. Printed in Blue PLA, not sure if I like them, or if they’ll work…. I got the set up with tape and everything but after offering them up to the doka it just doesnt seem to fit right ? maybe the colour – maybe the fact that…

The elusive relay 99 – intermittent programmable windscreen wipers on the DOKA
After the hack and wiring install to modify the T3 double cab – its a 1983 so has the early style fusebox – and also the simple wirinng options- I cut and spliced the loom from the steering column switches – with very helpful info, wiring diagrams and a step by step from the tech…

Fixing the earth leak in the Double Cab?
Since I got the T3 double cab it has flattened the battery if left alone – some previous owner actually put in a battery isolator switch by the seatbelt stalk for the drive seat – they bypassd the original battery early strat and ran the earth via a chunky Hella switch – presumably rather than…

dont buy junk – dont sell junk – (another) roadtrip starter motor fail in the Doka
starter motor solenoid refused to fire after stopping in fuel station on the way back from a 350km roadtrip … hit it, short it , check it – remove it and test it.. put it back in, hotwire it with a spanner….then ask two random builders in a van to help bump start it. (Not…

Fitting up external oil cooler for the Doka
The T3 double cab runs LPG and petrol, the LPG is half the price and makes less pollution than petrol so it runs on that all the time. LPG burns hotter (and slower) than benzine so the ignition is about 7 degrees advanced and the engine runs hotter – constant running over 110km (70mph) and…

Laptop setup for the 02 sensor in the T3 Doka
Booted up a .Mac laptop in windows to reprogram the #innovatemotorsport wideband O2 sensor to display in lambda rather than AFR air fuel ratio – now it reads correctly whether I run the #vwt3 doka on lpg or benzine. Basically lambda 1.0 is stoichiometric – ie perfect fuel burn – irrespective of what fuel you…

Installing Wideband 02 in the T3 Doka
After new carb jets the #innovatemotorsports #mtx-l wideband and lambda sensor gets installed into the #vwt3 doka – will change the display from afr to lambda and it will meter both fuels without problem. Just need to find a windows laptop with a serial interface from somewhere to talk to the gauge?

Rejetting the T3 Doka
New upgraded primary and secondary jets installed into the NOS pierburg carb in the #vwt3 doka – it’s a 1.9 carb on a 2.1 motor so on lpg all is good but on benzine it’s super lean – going from 102/110 to 112.5/120 hopefully helps and a dyno session will dial it in
