How did you insulate the metal?
@Adventure.with.RobbieАй бұрын
I only insulated the floor as the surface area of the sides simply wasn't worth it. I had a diesel heater installed, which kept the van nice and toasty in the winter. ( I actually had to have the windows open ) a diesel heater will also stop condensation with it being dry heat. Gas blow heating would have the same affect.

Absolutely mate. Most of my travals were on my own. There is lots of advantages of a micro camper too. One being you can get under hight barriers. 2nd, you can park pritty much anywhere as people don't tend to think a small van would have someone sleeping in it. And you can have all the goodies that a bigger van has with just a little planning. Not to mention cheaper insurance, lower fuel cost. Not to mention, if it's a newer small van no tax to pay

So on the box I see only two cables. On the green board I see three cable entrances. There is one cable sticking out of the solenoid. Do you endup with one earthing Cable going to the pump and one positive purple cable to the solenoid? That's what I understand but on the video I see you end up with ,4 cables* two and two? Could you clarify please? Thanks
@Adventure.with.Robbie8 ай бұрын
The wire you see left on the solenoid is just a cut of bit left over. There is only the two wires. One going to the pump/earthing point and the other going to the solenoid itself.

@@Adventure.with.Robbie ooh okay. I was confused because on the positive side you had a exposed cope wire ( or part of a wire ) and it looked like two. Doing this tomorrow morning. Cheers from being stranded stranded in Valencia parking lot in front of 16 Tesla chargers that destroyed my inmobizer 🤦 lol Also that one blue pipe with a fat screw to remove to get access to the solenoid is the fuel intake as far as I know and if you remove it it may intake some air that will have to be extracted . You didn't do this or did you? Big thanks

I believe the fuel system is a self bleed system. I didn't have to bleed mine. You can also put a switch on the dash and connect that up to then two wires for extra security. Meaning when it's turned off, the engine won't start.. defiantly worth doing whole you got all the front end of. It's also ideal to do the glow plugs at the same time whole you have easy access

Hi Robbie cracking video, I lost my T4 keys a few years back had a new key cut and the black box behind the instrument panel was "decoded" by a key guy, however the old girl never fired up, turned over really well and eventually burned the starter motor. Was thinking of doing what you have shown as a next step once ive fitted another starter. Do you think doing this step will bypass the ignition black box and send fuel to the fuel pump? The old girl been sat for a while now and really need to get it moved. Shes a 1.9tdi on a 1998. Thankyou look forward to hear from you.
@Adventure.with.Robbie10 ай бұрын
Go for it, mate. Absolutely worst case for you is the actual solenoid that has failed. ( common issue ) Which would mean the black box would have to be removed anyway to access that. Just be careful of the fuel pump screw when removing

Interesting. I don't have starting issue but I have a problem with the VE pump. It seems to have a timing issue as it's constantly lookig for proper timing once the engine starts to warm up. I also get misfiring and at certain times it feels like it want to cut out. And oddly enough I also have an issue with my k-line connection which prevents me from using OBDII port for diagnostics as there must be a short somewhere. May have to take a look at this black box.
@Adventure.with.Robbie11 ай бұрын
It could well be a faulty immobiliser. I think most T4s have had them removed. They can have an intermittent issue where it won't start and sometimes will. It wouldn't course a misfire, though. As for your OBD port, depending on which model you have from my understanding, not all obd Readers work on the T4s. You would need one for a T4 only. Or get a professional to scan it.
@CoreMaster11111 ай бұрын
@@Adventure.with.Robbie Mine starts fine, no issues there so immo seems fine at first glance. I have VCDS which should work just fine. I have VW T4 1996 7D, so the newer face lift model. But I can't communicate to any of the modules which indicates there is something wrong with k-line. Probably a faulty module or circuit. I have already done some diagnostics and immo seems fine as I removed and bypassed it for testing purposes. I have also ruled out instrument cluster and ABS module. From here I still need to test ECU and wiring to it but I also noticed while looking through wiring diagrams that this black box on the VE pump is also connected to k-line. Considered I have issues with VE pump and engine wanting to cut out then I'm also going to check this out. I just searched to see if anyone has experienced similar problem and I just happened to find your video mentioning immo and shut off solenoid.
