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.

Really useful video, doing mine next week

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.

FSM!! Welcome brother

Excellent explanation now I understand much better.

I had the same problem..., unfortunately was more expensive that I thought . in the end was the injection pump

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.

As some said rivets can be drilled out

Great video, took my flooring up today and the 3 main rust areas are in the exact same places, for reference what were you charged for the 2 suspension areas?

I hate to say the obvious but only doing 3 is a bad idea for the long-term reliability. Plus those plugs didnt look bad did you test them? That 540 should start a diesel no problem.

My light stays on

Hi ive same problem. You said blue coolant at the end of vid ?

what a great informative video for a novice like myself. thank you

Thanks 😊

Thanks for the explanation and great use of graphics and equations of physics. Here why u should seek an expert advice ruclips.net/video/TAEzCcayI0g/видео.htmlsi=_lVkdJ3y3_x0hbgG I like the last part of the video, some times it is not needed. 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

Great video, best I've found on the subject, thank you so much!

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

Got both mine to do. Eeeewwwwee. Lol.

What electrics can you power off that ? Must you buy a pure sine invertor to power bigger stuff ?

You can also remove it non-destructively by drilling out the rivets with a 4.5mm drill bit, for example!

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!

This helped me a lot today. Thank you so much :)

Great video thanks for sharing

Hi mate can you tell me what gauge/thickness yours wires are going to the fuse board from leisure battery,and from lights etc thanks 😊

should be g12 oat coolant bud

Excellent video, thanks. I have exactly the same problem in my 22 year old T4. Didn't know about pushing the key but will do that until the replacement switch arrives. Thanks so much for your clear and concise remedy to this problem

Getting the 3pulley bolts off is a twat.

Very useful to known mines started playing up. Fixed it What a bugger to get the screw out .. defo need offset Allen keys Thanks Joel interesting and informative

Good job you are so stupid 😂😂😂

Turn the wire feed down it'll work better

Another little cracker. Cheers Joel.

Just bought a T4, so, have a sub and I'll be no doubt going through every 1 of your vidz. Happy days.😊

Hi Joel, Just entering the "interesting" world of T4 ownership and looking forward to all the wee jobs I have to do! :p Can I ask how you bent the metal for the flooring? Is there a handy wee trick or something to bend it round? Cheers man!

another nice video joel and if it wasnt for it i wouldnt have known about the difference between green and red fluids either so its great that the community are sharing their knowledge on here. watching this really makes me wanna adjust your driver door though, that swaige line not lining up is really annoyying me🤣

Had a flashing oil light on my 98 T4 it was the spade connection onto the oil pressure switch on the oil filter housing. If its not that try a new oil pressure switch.

great to see people still driving these and keeping them alive. just picked one up for £500 and it's serving me very well :)

Thank you. I have a Skoda Yeti and made one with a groundsheet/tarp; was ok but prefer your material. So will be getting......in hope that it is the same...... I am more primitive and use cable ties to secure to the roof rail. Looks like it really is waterproof. Thank you again

Hey guys. I changed the saitch and it still doesnt work. It gives contact but wont start… I have it hotwired and when I give electricity manualy it starts… Could it be some rellay?

spot on that, cheers mate.

Got same problem after watching your video, think I will put mine in the garage many thanks for making the video

Great video its been really helpfull thanks alot

genius idea! Thanks for sharing this! :)

Does your alternator have a slip pulley or is it a fixed pulley?

Можете мне подарить...

thankyou sir

I want to add some speaker in the rear, but i dont know if there are already wires connecting it to the radio

Brilliant Joel! Really clear and easy to understand. Thanks for sharing!😊

@strongandco what about the rear side speakers did you fit them also? as most fox's dont come with the rear ones fitted that was an extra when buying the car...

I used to regularly use concentrated Ribena juice, it goes further and is cheap. It needs simmered for around 15 minutes or so or apparently' it won't ferment. They must put something in it to prevent it from fermenting, I can't remember as this was around 30 years ago. I left it (all the wine I made) in the demijohn until 100% clear before bottling, this could take up to 3 to 6 months, always left in the dark too. The nicest wine (more like a Port) took 6 years to clear. well, I gave up checking after 3 or 4 years tbh...a plum wine with super strong 17% yeast; amazing flavour! I used to make wine in those 5 gallon containers as well as demijohns...beer too; now I rarely drink and drink little...I had enough 'fun' 🤣Oh' now I prefer the odd cup of Irish coffee and/or Irish cream, too much is sickening...I like that, it's like having brakes on a vehicle, it's easier to stop; I can't stand hangovers.
