Confidently says “Thank you for watching, catch you on the next one”. The VWT4 - the next episode is never too far away.
Great work, as always. 🤙
Thank you mate, glad you are enjoying the channel. And yeah the next episode is never more than a week away lol 😂🤙
Omg, am i so glad to come across this video!! Thank you so much! I'm going to give this a go.. wish me luck! 🙈😂
Hey bro im chasing a capasitor for my 97 t4, from aus
Great vid brother
Awesome video mate. What voltage was the capacitor you ordered?
Awesome video. Got 1 spare of these clocks with this problem and had to pay £380 for a replacement clocks as these are getting like hens teeth. Gonna give that a go so my van shows the correct millage and get the original back in.
Only thing I'm struggling with is how does the clock, fuel and temp, millage clocks come out.
Great video watched all ur t4 vids
Wow that's a lot of money. But they are getting rarer and rarer I suppose. Definitely worth giving it a go mate. The caps cost pennies, and it's a straightforward job. I have posted on a previous vid how to remove clock faces. But it's just a case of gentle pressure under the needles and they will slide of the pins. Then the clocks will be free to remove mate. Let me know how you get on 🤙🤙 and thanks so much for supporting the channel, we really appreciate it
Hi dude , top video i must say... ive got the same problem on my 96 t4 and im hopthis will do the job.... where abouts can i order the replacement part from please mate?
I switched out the capacitor, plugged the cluster back in and all the dials were back to normal except for the fuel gauge. Turns out I had pushed that one down a bit too far so there was too much friction against the clock surface. Backed it off and all is well. Thanks for this great video!
That's great news. So pleased the video helped. And yeah I did same thing. Fuel gauge never moved as I put it on too tight. 🤙🤙
@@valhallavw It was fine for a couple of drives, and then the van sat for a few weeks. Today the dials are going crazy again, could something else be causing the capacitor to go bad, or was my soldering job inadequate?
@@HaroldThePumpkin hello mate sorry for the delay in replying. That's a tricky one. I've had no problems since mine was done. Touch wood lol. I would try again, maybe dodgy capacitor or soldering not quite right. Give board a good clean. Did you use flux solder ?
@@valhallavw I didn't use flux, even though I thought I should. I was working with what was in my dad's garage. I'll give it another try with flux and a good cleaning!
@@HaroldThePumpkin yeah definitely use flux as this will clean the connection as its being soldered and give a better /proper connection.
How did you remove instrument dials and arrows? I have the same cluster, with cluster light not working. I cannot remove the arrows. Tried pulling them really hard. Really don't want to damage the cluster.
Thanks for help!
Cheers.
Hey man!
Love your videos,super helpful!!
I have the same issue,what voltage spec does the capacitor need to be so I can order one?
Cheers
Thank you mate. So glad you are finding the videos useful. The cap needs to be 470microfarad and 25v 🤙🤙
Hi, great video, i have a 94 with the same issue will i need the capacitor or toe re-soulder the six conectors? Wanna be ready before i take it appart.
Hi mate. Sorry for the late reply. Vw have a habit of putting whatever they like in the dash assembly lol. Well they do when it comes to mine. Mine was in a changeover year so I have allsorts of random parts on mine. Once you get the back off you will be able to see. The capacitors are relatively cheap to buy. And in either case you will be needing a soldering iron and some fluxed solder. 🤙🤙
So glad I’ve found your video! You have given me new hope for sorting the clocks on our t4 (same as yours) so….how do I go about purchasing one of those capacitors from you dude? Cheers.
Glad you found us and hope the video helps you. If you are on insta send me a dm on there and I'll get a cap sorted for you , just search valhalla vw 🤙🤙
Great video thanks, I've been looking for a capacitor but can only find either 10.5 or 16v what ones did you get.
Thank you for watching. I'm glad you found it useful. I bought a multipack from a well known shopping site lol. Here is the link amzn.eu/d/ix1t4Xd hope this helps 🤙🤙
@@valhallavw Great thanks, that is a multipack of different voltages so I take it you used the 16v ones which would make sense, Mick
Loved your video. Spot on .one thing you maybe able to help with .turned over to look at the solders.and was greeted with 3 small cogs lol. Do they go on the back off the temp fuel and speedo. Or should i put them on the small pin on each gauge. Hope you came across this lol .10,10 for videos
Hello mate. Thank you for your kind words and glad the vid helped, the small cogs are the gears that turn the needles. I presume your casings came open when you removed the needles. They go on the small pins in the needle housings. 🤙🤙🤙
My display went walkabout a while ago, watched your videos and had it stripped down a couple of times with no luck. Went on fb marketplace and got ripped off by some lowdown scrote for £95
So your latest fix looks good I’ll order one
Great stuff my friend keep it up 👍
Sorry to hear about your Facebook experience, seems common nowadays. Thanks for watching the videos, we really appreciate the support. I ordered mine off amazon was an assorted pack for 8.99. Let us know how you get on 🤙🤙
Spot on my mate that’s sorted it well done 👍😁
@@malbancroft1932 that's great news mate. Glad it helped. 🤙🤙 Happy we could share the knowledge 👍
Top work, man. I really respect that you took the time to do the necessary research and then share the info.
It is so satisfying when you sort a problem out yourself, not to mention the money saved. Add to that the fact your hard work is going to help many other T4 owners. T4s! The content creating gift that never stops giving. 😂😂 Well done, sir.
Thank you for the kind words mate. It's a problem I've had for nearly 2 years and I'm sure others have too. If we can help that's amazing, it's more than a van it's a brotherhood. We are so happy this vid is already helping out t4 owners. I'm sure the next problem won't be far away haha 😂😂😂🤙 thank you so much for supporting the channel, we really appreciate it 🤙🤙
Hi there great videos I got same clocks as yours,problem I got I had a half shaft go on me,took it to a garage to get done.now I got no speedo / fuel/temp or time clock working I took van back,all he said was it needs new clock,s so I got van back off him now I’m driving round with no clocks have you come across this before ,cheers kev.
I had the same issue ,only mine wasn't due to drive shaft. Have you tried swapping out the capacitor yet ?
@@valhallavw thanks for taking the time to reply,your a top bloke I’ll try that 1st over the weekend thanks again 👍
Sorry to be a pain but where did you get the capacitor from,cheers Kev
@@KevJones-n3w no worries mate. I ordered mine off of amazon.
Hi there again I took clocks out,I got someone to solder new capacitor in which I supplied the capacitor had 470au 25v but it was half the size of the one he removed when I reconnected the plug smoke came from around capacitor,any suggestions please thanks again for great video
Great video...I have the same problem on my T4 1993 vintage.....would this fix work for me.....cheers
Would obviously depend on the clocks you have mate. But it's worked on mine and a lot of others. You'll need to remove clocks and see what you got. There are other options depending on clock pcb pattern glad you found video useful, let me know if I can help. 🤙🤙
Sorry forgot to mention the digital clock still works 🤷♂️
Hi there again I’ve got my clocks out my van don’t seem to be able to get actual clocks out sorry for being a pain
How far have you got mate. Have you opened the cluster up ?
@@valhallavw hi mate it’s nearly out but something is holding the clocks and circuit in
@@KevJones-n3w there's a connector on back. That will need to be undone. Then cluster should come free mate
I’ve managed to get clocks out it’s the clock faces I can’t seem to get off do I need to pull the needles off cheers again kev
@@KevJones-n3w hello mate. Yeah needles need to be prised off. I used a spoon. But be careful. They will be quite tight to get off.
I cannot get the needles off. I've tried pulling hard with my fingers as well as using a trim removal fork to provide leverage. Has anyone got any tricks for this?
Edit: Finally got it, it took a lot of pressure and wiggling.
They are a nightmare. Feels like you are going to break them doesn't it lol. Glad you got sorted 🤙🤙
@@valhallavw The second time around I found that using a hairdryer for a few seconds helped a lot.
