VW T4 - Changing the Speedo/Dials Cluster (VLOG)
Переглядів 24 тис.3 роки тому
UPDATE: The flashing oil light was caused by a broken wire running from the “W terminal” on the alternator to the instrument cluster. This lets it know how high the engine is revving, and it uses this information to choose between using the high pressure oil sensor (above 2000rpm), or the low pressure oil sensor (below 2000rpm). This could also explain why the rev counter did not work, but I di...

    I bought my aab t4 as a non runing barn find. Imediatly changed the diesel filter, good service, repaired the alternator and starter motor, 4 new wheels and tyres, treated wing arch/windscreen superficial rust... after 2000km she burned 3L of new oil, had to rebuild the engine and now it's doing that cold nightmare. When we rebuilt the engine we already changed thw most difficult glow plugs, now that seems to be the problem. i read in one of these coments that somebody replaced/upgraded the glow plugs wires... got me thinking and problably will do that too. Thanks for the helpefull video and reaction coments Joel.

    Best way to do this is pretty much the same, except, have both wheels off the ground (not on ramps). When the pump is taken off and while the high pressure line is not connected, turn the steering wheel from full lock to full lock left to right a few times to bleed the rack of the old fluid. When you refill, do the same to get the new fluid in and the air out. Do not let the pump run dry when you top it up and start the engine.

    using a car battery is super dangerous. They emit hydrogen as they charge. You have it in an enclosed cupboard. If theres a slightly bad connection in there it will cause a spark and that van will explode. In NSW Australia alone, 24 people die per year due to this happening.

    Th fuse is to protect the circuit, not the appliance. T 2V power socket is, I think rated for 12A. You could plug one dual-socket USB charger into it, or with ana adapto, two or more. You wouldn't put a higher rated fuse each time. Think of house wiring. I have a fuse for my over, and another for everything else. and I regularly plug 2400W power boards in with four and more outlets

    Don't prise panels apart like that , you will distort them. Drill out spot welds, to prevent distorting the flange of the panel, there are special drills for this that just drill one side out, or if you have to drill through , then use a piece of 'non ferrous metal' such as aluminium or brass, behind when rewelding. The weld will only attach itself to the steel!
