THE PORTAL HUB - Pinzgauers, Haflingers, Volvo 303s and more!

The adjustments would be on the door side, not the body side.

It's been 22 years since I had a gas pinz, but look on the door half of the hinge, there may be an adjustment there. That's where it is on the front doors. Also, you may take the door open it a couple inches and lift up and down on the lock end of the door and see if the door rocks. You could have w...

Since 2001, Auto Club of Southern California has insured Pinzgauer. I have had my 710M., 712M, my Halflinger and 716 with them at one time or another, and willing to insure my 718K. When talking to an agent, you must tell them that the manufacturer is a Steyr, and the model is a Pinzgauer. That is h...

The Vectors are only a Pinzgauer chassis/drivetrain. The bodies are a totally unique structure for them and almost everything is custom. According to a BAE employee, the panels can be removed but the backbone structure underneath is supposedly to be fairly flimsy without the panels. Another problem ...

Andre, Actually that truck is not a 712W ( workshop ), rather a command or communication body (I don't remember the exact designation). It lacks the service doors on the side of the workshop body and has a raised roof through the center with Alpine windows for light. A super cool truck and is the on...

The top simply unbolts.
Basically the same I did with my 716k almost 20 years ago with a rusted top and removed it and made it into a 716KM

Hello all. Today is the 10th anniversary of my receipt of my 718K, RHD and 2.5 TDI . (only 7 Pinzes were manufactured by ATL in the UK with the VW 2.5TDI and in right t hand drive, all were 718s, 3 were K and 4 Ms). I had the good fortune to purchase it from BAE in Sealy Texas. The original manufact...

Check your charging voltage. If something's wrong with the voltage regulator or the alternatorr and gives out over 30 volts that will overheat your coil

I very much doubt that the LEDs are 12 volt only. Usually they have a voltage range of 12 to 32 volts or more.

As for Pinzgauers in 12 volt, there were several made in the late 80s/ early 90s, usually for municipal purposes. My old P80 716K was one of them

Why did you replace the battery relay? It is only a safety feature in case someone opens the main battery switch while the truck is running, it keeps the circuit closed automatically. That is the only reason it is there. Make sure you have the batteries hooked in series and not parallel.

You have two things that play here, voltage and amperage. Typically under 21.5 volts, your Pinz will not start. Usually meaning that you have a bad cell or more in one of the batteries or a short. Cranking amps are what is needed to start the vehicle. The three most power hungry parts on your truck ...

If the heater is off and the engine is off, that relay should be open and no parasitic draw. Look for a power drain on the positive side. That is one thing I hated about the gas Pinzes, the negative disconnect. Basically it means that you cannot run any cables directly back to the battery on the neg...

What that circuit is for is the same as for the engine.
It maintain the ground if the battery switch is open while the heater is being operated.

Unless you plan to use rocky off-road, on a farm, and never see a highway, the Maloyas are only "ok". They are an extremely old technology tire that went away over 40 years ago. Like NDT tires, they are hard as rocks and have little traction on wet slippery paved road. I've had 4 Pinzes in...

Those are the correct glass. Laminated for the windshield, tempered for the side.
