Replacement tap

Hi All,

I have a VW Topaz Autosleeper with Whale tap fittings(fold up sink) i've just discovered that there is a split in the spout of the tap.

Does anyone know if I can just replact the spout or it has to be the whole unit ie, the taps as well. Also would anyone know how i gain access to the taps, would it be from the front or do i need to take the panel of the back of the van and access the taps that way.

Any help would very much be appreciated.

Many thanks

Alex

Hi,

I replaced my 'elegance' 'spout' using a replacement from the seller on ebay for £19+. It is genuine. In the caravan shop the same one was priced at £26+.

Mine had split as well and this is quite common.

Simple enough job.

I took off the mixer taps by undoing the four screws. I then lifted the mixer from the unit. It's then a matter of loosening off and then pulling the old spout off. You get a new sealing washer with the new spout.

If I remember rightly you get instructions. If like me you're a man, It's important that you don't read these until you've finished the job or found that something doesn't fit the way it should!

It will fun for me trying to replace them but at least i have some guidance now. I'm a female but never read the instructions!
