Starting Volkswagen LT28D After 15 Years + Test Drive

1986 Volkswagen LT28D 55kW Camper

*Runaway is when the engine starts burning its own oil. In your case it is a blocked injection pump.*

She'll rev up till she explodes....I remember very well when I drove one of them...with oil leakages. She almost killed me in the cabin.

I agree

[@victor4837]

I have seen this engine in Volvo 740. And I was always impressed by how wide the LT van was!

[@bitelaserkhalif]

In brazil, they used it for trucks like VW titan, vw delivery, and VW worker

[@hoggmotorsport]

Good start and quick reaction to the runaway 👌 these were used by the Audi world rally team in the '80s, at the beginning of the Quattro era! Good van! Great video 👍

[@Drako9874]

Yes true 😎😏👍

[@michaelmazani]

It was running away and you saved it!!! I loved that!

[@michaelmazani]

Honestly! Most stand back and watch the engine destroy itself. Hahaha

[@carlbernard4197]

​@michaelmazani not a good idea, watched a video of a large Cummins diesel that dud this on the dyno and several people almost got seriously injured when thar Cummins tossed it cookies 😮😮😮

[@user-xt1bz8yp2j]

Лтха изначально не хотел выезжать, мол типа оставьте меня в покое, завели но уходит в разнос, нехочет. Машинка с душой. У самого 410d каждый день на ходу

[@Enix69]

i've heard at the first startup that's gonna be a runaway engine.... the ticking was so scary and familiar... i've seen many times in the shop...

[@MCI1392]

That's how a real car sounds. Love them D24's. Best engine iv'e ever had so far.

[@vlota]

Great old vans [I had 2 of the LT35 version].... as long as you don't want to go anywhere that involves climbing hills. It would be quicker then to get out and walk. Also a good idea to fit a non-return valve before the fuel filter [or always park facing downhill] as the fuel loves to run back into the tank, when parked up facing uphill. Leading to hard starting.

[@maxk7258]

In Germany we call those old bulletproof VW's "Eisenschwein"

[@11zagato]

Have to admit that the engine sound of the Nissan Patrol is very nice.

[@user-iq5kh3sg9k]

Фольксваген это конечно хорошо, но там рядышком ещё ГАЗ-51 и Т-25 вроде бы стоят. Хотелось бы на их оживление поглядеть.

[@maksymognianikov5757]

Olen sind algusest peale jälginud ja olen super põnevil, mida sa teed, aga mul on üks nõuanne.Kui sa video inglise keeles üles kirjutad, siis see teeb kirjutise kuidagi suuremaks, sest aru ei saada. Suur nagu

[@d-d-i]

My father's former employer used to have one of these as company van in the 90's, he did some trips with it to do some automation electricity works and repairs. He hated this thing so much and told stories about how it was constant cause of misery. He did also withness that runaway diesel situation, while in highway. Not a pleasant situation to be in when that happens. Thanks for cool video again!

[@miraydacruz2697]

TIP: the volkswagen LT28D was made in 1979 until 1993 due to a influence on the market for light commercial vehicles

[@joyosetube]

Amazing work once again, despite the cold and snow, you get to save and circulate a vehicle in an unfortunate state. I have spent a time entertaining it and I am waiting for the next video.

[@keshyaaldiano]

[@one_man_show1987]

It's nice ! I had one of them 10 years ago. It was a lt40 , but the engine was the same. There are a lot of rust in fuel pump so it trying to destroy itself. This ve pumps are very easy and can be rebuilt your own hands

Good job. Just found this vid by occasion. My new personal favourite, iconic with the I6 Patrol pulling it out. Love the patient and smart step by step work of you. The I6 diesel's (more or less all of them I would suggest) are simple and graceful powertrains, plain power and simple technics. Doesn't matter if VW, BMW or Nissan etc. Depends only how the driver treat's it it can last forever. Was concidering to get a LT as a camper in future, too, but I am planning to get a similar truck my father had in my youth. MB NG 1222 (My father had a 1422, but they are not that common, and as ex-firetrucks they are pretty available). I love the sound of the V6 NA, it is has a distinctive sound and also lives forever, the fuel economy is not the best but this is not that important for me, I wouldn't drive that much with it. Move on!

[@michaelshone2465]

[@mr.slaphappy3794]

I have an LT35 (facelifted) with the same body and engine as this LT28, brilliant van! Last month I used her to haul back my newly purchased Peugeot J9 (cool van aswell), bearing in mind the LT weighs 1.8 tons dry, the trailer 0.7 tons and the J9 1.7 tons dry, that makes 4.2 tons (+70 litres fuel, and 2 passengers, oh and a spare gearbox for the J9 which weighs about 250 kilos) so more like 4.7 tons, all that with the bone stock 73 hp D24 for 350 kms (one way)! No overheating, didn't skip a beat, only downside was the 1st gear crawl up at least a couple of hills (lol)

[@henktulp4400]

I borrowed an old LT some time ago to collect some chipboard apr. 100 km from my place..... some on the LT some more on the trailer..... I inflated all tyres to around 6.5 Bar but stil noticed how the tyres seemed low on pressure (?????!!!?)..... the LT had a bit of a hard time going back home.... on the scale at the neighbour’s place it showed a total weight of 10.700 kilograms.....

[@mr.slaphappy3794]

@@henktulp4400 Haha holy shit! I thought 5 tons was a lot🤣! Was it a turbo diesel or not?

[@henktulp4400]

@@mr.slaphappy3794 Yes,turbo.... but stil had to shift down to 3rd gear to make it up a (ever so gentle....) slope... Good thing the cops didn’t spot me.... the fine would’ve been huge!!!

[@mr.slaphappy3794]

​@@henktulp4400 Lol good thing you had the turbo engine 🤣 I was holding about 75-80 km/h on the flat motorway without too much struggle, but on even the slightest incline it was down to 3rd gear (like you lol). After the motorway I was going up some twisty hilly roads, and at one point I thought I was going to come to a stop, apparently first gear and full power nearly wasn't enough... Thankfully the road flattened out a bit after that😂 She flew past her emissions test 2 days later though 😅

[@henktulp4400]

[@jantrammelant]

I think the governor in your injectionpump is broken. Most of the times the little notch that slides the collar on the plunger snaps of. This happens when a pump stands a long time whitout fuel in it. The next time you should fill the pump and let it soak for 24 hours to loosen the collar.
