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...

    Can this same method be done with a lithium battery? Cause I’ve done this exact same method but only difference is that I have a life po4 200ah lithium battery. It worked for a short period of time, but now my voltage drops from 12.8v right down to below 11v within 10 mins of using anything that’s wired into it. I know sweet FA about electrics and this battery cost me about £400. Which if it only worked a handful of times, seems to be a complete waste of money. I need help 😩

    • @JoelsStuff
      @JoelsStuff 3 місяці тому

      Hi, It’s just using excess charge from your alternator, at least with my setup (the belt is constantly running the alternator so no extra load is on the engine if you connect a second battery). If you have a smart alternator then it might switch on more often if it’s charging a secondary battery. I don’t know much about them I’m afraid. I’m not sure what a lifepo4 is so you would have to investigate that one

    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.

  • @EpicSqu1rrel

    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.
