Problem with the gas bottle...

[Poolhorse]

Hi there,

I am not really a beginner anymore, as we did a 6000 km/5 week family of four trip in the summer - with two little kids. Surviving that, must qualify me as being at least one step over entry level

Anyway, love the car but I have a small problem with hooking up the gas bottle.

I have attached a picture with the R907 Campingaz bottle (the one the manual calls for) and the California's gas pipe... they just don't fit!

Does anybody know where I can get some kind of little converter to screw into the bottle - or anything else that will make it possible to hook up the R907 bottle and subsequently use the cookers?

Thanks in advance

Best regards,

Michael

Was it new? If so, go back and ask VW for one - it should have come with it!

Nope... used. 2006, with 200 000 km on the clock and I got it in Germany - so won't be going back there for a while ;-)

Anyway, if it's just a little part they have at VW, I'll just go and buy one - before the American lawsuit bankrupts them ;-)

Thanks!

almost the same problem.
You need a tap and a safety valve....one who sells campinggas botles normally also sels these parts...if not go to a campershop with your gas botle and ask for the parts.

When bought new i feel this parts must be standard....
If bought 2nd hand at least the seller must give you intel....
