hi.my vw t4 2.5tdi used to have a vsr charger .i fitted a dc victron charger well have 2 now 18amp and 30amp dc chargers but recently they stopped charging to their capacity only getting about 10amps for both of them don’t know why.my 105ah lifepo4 battery needs mains top up every few days .i have parallel my old 12amp dc charger too with an isolater switch as i connect the 12amp charger to my other agm battery 105ah to my stereo power amps 2 kenwood .so get about 16amps when all 3 chargers parallel.seems like waste of victron dc chargers 300£😂i checked wiring seems ok.

@Joel's Stuff i. does this use more diesel or is it excess electric from the engine? ii. can this charge a lifepo4 leisure battery?
@JoelsStuff
@JoelsStuff 15 күн бұрын
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

great vid, I need to do mine so this helps loads. although when flushing it's best to use de-ionised water It won't leave scale build up in your cooling system. Regular water contains hard water minerals which can leave a build up of hard water deposits

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.

Personally, I found it is cheaper and safer to buy external battery, charge it when it is needed with smart charger the night before trip. All I need the battery for is lights and fan out of the SUV. So always look for what you need. Thanks

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!
