Started a bit of the welding this week on the project t4. Started with the right lower inner wing repair, and cut out the o/s outer arch and sill. I made some templates, transferred onto metal, cut them out, cut out the rust from the van, and then welded in the new fresh metal.

VW T4 Rusty arch's inner and outer temporary repair
Hi there - great video. What age is your van? We are experiencing the same issue and believe it is the sender unit. However, been told it doesn’t have one. Our van is 2003 2.5 TDI. Thanks
hey, what rims are these? from what car? What size ?. Looks realy good ! Regards !
Hi Matt. FYI, That pitting WILL gradually turn back into rust in a couple of years, even after you've converted it with the best converter on the market (Dinitrol RC900). It is absolutely essential that you treat it with cavity wax after conversion. Choose any clear, beige, brown or any viscosity of Dinitrol cavity wax. ML, for example, is perfect for that application.
Hand made precision cuts feathered perfectly lol.... Twiggs your an inspiration for every restoration project! Keep going Bro 100% 🎉really enjoy your tutorial 100%
Good progress Dude.. if I’m guessing that if I did that you could add an ‘0’ on the end for the total amount of hours…🤔😳
What a brilliant Job
Nice one, just in the middle of doing my passenger side
Hello perfect 👍👍👍👍greetings from Germany 🇩🇪👋👋👋Kai 🙏🍻 EM England:Slowakei 2:1👍👍👍👍
Great work and content.👌👍
Hi twigs love your vids and could you tell me what is the rust killer you use please.
There’s a couple on UA-cam doing a type 2 who use ospho or something like that with similar results to Matt
I have 25 year's previous on rust proofing/conversion/prevention. Done my T4 to show condition. Learn about ONE brand - DINITROL. RC900 is the converter, then you need cavity wax over that - there are many viscosities - and depending on where it is, a final seal - e.g. 4941 Black. All cavity waxes and even the final 4941 (but less volume) contain the all-important CIC - Corrosion Inhibiting Compound. Read the spec sheets of the products and it'll all become clear. Do NOT use Hammerite/Finnegan's or anything that says Waxoyl on it. It's CRAP and actually poses a threat to your pride and joy.
Even the cavity waxes are surprisingly abrasion-resistant.
Well done I have a VR5 and need to do the same job, thank God for your sensible and easy approach, I'll be copying. If it's any help the little hoses for the fuel evaporative system get new ones and install them I recently did mine and fuel economy has massively improved from one point one litres per hour at idle hot to point seven let alone storming up a favorite hill was 13point 5 LP100k down to 10 at same speed n throttle. Thank you for your video.
Precision tuning of your welder Twiggs!!! Keep going my T4 is about to have a full rebuild, I need the extra Twiggs T4 magic lol... 🎉
5:07 I make that face every time I have to do work on my engine!! I know the feeling well.
The red and gold polo with the tunes is my boyfriends and we’ll be back for bugjam 37 🙌🏻🙌🏻
Thank you for this! 🙌
I have a noise from mine as well - the joy of finding it! What do you use to take the tension off the aux belt - I didn't get to see it in the video - I need one!
Excellent work
Didn’t show were he wired the blue
How much I I wish there were more mechanics like you. Impecable job!👏
Great job mate, appreciate all your effort making these videos. Really helpful for people like me who haven't got the knowledge you have. Thanks
Hi Twiggs, what gauge of metal were you using for the repair? Mines well ready 😅
Lush mate and timing is great as I fear I have this to do on mine! I will catch up with you over the next week or so for a cuppa and chat when its good for you. Great work as always! 🤙
Tidy job 🤙🏻
Lovely work mate, hope to see you at BugJam next month 🤙
Nice one matey
Attention to detail 🤩
Ah ha I always wondered what the point of those bungs were...to waxoyl of course nice one...Another really helpful video thanks for that!!!
Great work on show.👌👍
Hello a great video perfect job👍👍👍 I like it Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪👋👋👋Kai 🙏🍻
Got me out of an expensive, unnecessary fix ... Thanks
I had the dampener pulley replaced with my belt and the aftermarket pulley was ready to swap again with my belt about 40k later. Friends pulley lasted 20k. When they're bad they make the whole engine shake at speed and that jolting and jerking at start up, idle and switch off that you look like you're getting too. Not advice, just own experience. Thanks for taking us through doing the power steering pump Twiggs 👍🏻
Nice little homemade tool for holding that pulley whilst torquing, Matt..
Thank you, It’s also the right size to lock into the cam sprocket 👍
Hey man. Great content. Im an office wanker but gonna try do a few jobs myself since you have given me some confidence! Gonna start with egr clean and this IC clean as shown here. Just wondering, if you done it again today would you use petrol? If so, roughly how much did you use? If not petrol, what would you use? Bonus question. Best product for cleaning out the EGR once removed? I think i can do this!
Haha joker, office wanker 🤣 😂 I used gunk, I have a separate container to put the used gunk in so I can use it again, I only brought 500ml because it doesn’t evaporate, I then use brake cleaner in my air compressor.
@@TwiggsT4 Many thanks man. Any idea how much petrol I'd need for the Intercooler Clean? Just a standard can's worth?
Mine does this. I had the cambelt changed and all of the tensioners as well but alas it's still happening. Very irritating noise it I do say so. I lot of people are saying the crank pulley dampener on here. Are you going to change this?
Yeah I’ll change everything until I eliminate the vibration
Is there a clutch pulley on the alternator. If so is it seized.
Cracking Job 😊😊😊
Looks like that cambelt has rubbed through the metal plate .
My T5 was the alternator pulley…it makes the tensioner bounce and vibrate. And at full lock steering sqeal
Like most have said it could be the dampener in the crank pulley. It's basically a rubber ring which deteriorates and causes vibration on the crank pulley. Absolute worst case scenario is the crank pulley separates and can screw the timing belt. Common on these I believe.
just had my cambelt/waterpump/fuel pump done vw connections truro while i was on holiday .they said my aux belt tensioner needs doing .anyone up for it i’m in cheshire.😊i had a look today got as far as lowering engine down top mount bolts undone belt off but driveshaft was resting on suspension arm .
I have this problem and I also suspected the power steering pump but I replaced the idler and tensioner first, which improved things a lot but it's still there on start up shut down. Tbh I was hoping you were going to fix this with issue by replacing the power steering pump because because that was my next job. As that didn't fix yours, my plan B will be the harmonic balancer. If you do it i'll be interested in seeing how you get on undoing that big nut. That kind of puts me off.
Alternator freewheel pulley
not being funny but if you look close up you can see the damper is oscillating they often fail
Does the bottom pulley have a woodruff key? Looks like the pulley is going slower than the engine is idling..... Like the pulley is slipping or is it just my eyes 🤔 great video. Keep em coming 😃
Harmonic balancer planning to replace mine..... Love your work Twiggs keep going from Oz
Bloody hell, i have the same problem on my 93. Thanks for changing the power steering pump so I don't have to. Harmonic damper you say?
You can always send parts back
Mine was like that, the harmonic damper, sounded like bottom end at times
Maybe try changing the tensioner buddy. You’re right about the postage costs as they can soon mount up 😔
I'd look at the The Harmonic balancer. (Crank pulley). Look at the serpentine belt when you started her up.
