Also ill be doing a deep clean on the grimy interior and the transformation in incredible its hard to believe this has almost 250,000 miles on it.

please leave your comments they are very helpful ⬇️ Thank you
Fab vlog and then, right at the end, when I thought, nah, just another auto troubleshoot/repair vid, you mentioned your plan for the van. Got me hooked, liked and subscribed. Don't want to miss what you do with this one, after already achieving quite the transformation. Who would have thought what beauty was lurking under this tired and neglected looking 250k T5. Congrats and keep going!!
Thank you very much! Stay tuned it'll be back to it's former glory soon!! 🤞
You have done such a great job with this, saved it from the scrappy! Looking forward to see what you do with it.
Thank you 🙏 it's going to be nice in the end I promise
That deep clean was very satisfying to watch. Excellent result!
Thanks Lukas, came up much nicer than I was expecting!! 👌
Great job on the interior these are great vans and lovely to work on, it will make a great camper 👍
Thank you, I hope so 🙏
What a great turn round from a mobile health, hazard to almost finished article. I’d suggest you try. G101 for the seats (from autosmart) and dilute, according to severity as it pretty much seems to shift everything, both external and internal vehicles.
Thank you 👍 okay I'll look that up and give it a go thanks 🙏
Good job man and you got guts to taste the oil i love how you tackle things and you get results in you efforts
Haha thank you!
Respect working outside! great work fault finding 👍
Thanks Mike 👍

Great video mate! Nice work! We did our own restoration last year on a T4 - and it's really satisfying removing years of grime from an old work vehicle! 😊 looking forward to seeing how this project moves on!
Thank you Marco, hope the T4 is still going strong! 👍
Great channel, watched a few of your videos today. Just subscribed. Right up my street.
No bull, just to the point troubleshooting and fixing.
Thank you I really appreciate it 🙏
The quick connect boost hoses have these green seals that love to leak, especially if people have been taking hoses on and off. I’ve had so many issues with them. They are cheap to replace on eBay so worth going through them all. You might also be lucky and have oil spray patterns from the leak that’ll give its location away easily.
Thank you. Keep them coming. Want to see this van completely restored as a camper. Good editing on the video.
Thank you, it will happen 👌
Brilliant work so far, looking forward to following you as the project develops - good luck.
Thank you 🙏 many more projects to come as well 👍
Youv'e done well getting it for £500 as the prices for these are absolutely extortionate!! Going to be a great build
Thanks 👍 it's coming along!!
@@cashmachinecars you could do with a shelter building to work in
The loose rubber part spinning on the vacuum pump has seperated from the booster hose, you can pull it off and reinsert into the vacuum pipe :)
Great content looking forward to the bodywork and conversion..thanks for sharing
Thanks rich 👍
Had a binge watch of your channel 👍🏻👍🏻. Absolutely brilliant work very talented mate
Thank you very much 🙏
Epic job cleaning that up, I've found spraying traffic film remover on everything interior in a van then using a 20 quid second hand steam cleaner cleans them well
Thank you 🙏 I should get some traffic film remover!
Well done for everything done so far. In my humble opinion, it's a great candidate for a work-van but not a camper or passenger. Just economically not worth it to bring it back to the level that would look acceptable on a camper.
But it will be a great content and for sure we will all enjoy watching it.
Couple of things to note:
The end muffler has 2 skins. You can peel the first one and there is another one underneath that will be in a better condition.
The rusty bearing that you found in the glovebox is from the timing kit. I suggest to check the timing change just in case it hasn't been done or we will get a few more episodes on how to rebuild a T5 head :-))
Good luck!
Yea it's a bit beaten up for a camper but I can do it really cheap so we'll see how it turns out haha 🤦 yea the first one has gone I was welding to the inside one! Yes 100% I cam belt id on the cards to do soon!! 👍 Thank you
Can’t believe you don’t have more views, really enjoy your content 👍🏻🤩
Thank you really appreciate it 🙏 I'm happy making the videos no matter how many people watch them 👍
Hat off to you mate, tackling one job at a time is very satisfying. Just watching it go up a notch each time you get the spanner’s out. Well done on the interior clean, proof you don’t need all the fancy chemicals - this coming from an actual Detailer 😂😂😂
Haha I was very tempted to get a detailer in at one point!! 😂 Thank you should be getting the bodywork nice and sorted as soon as it warms up a bit!! 👍
@@cashmachinecars Looking forward to watching that one! I’m just catching up on your previous videos, glad I found your channel. You’re giving me some winter inspiration to take the dust cover off my BX and get a few odd jobs done. 👍🏻
Great save, crazy what people throw away
Thank you 🙏
I used a small spray of panel wipe when I had an oil stain on light grey fabric seat, helped break down the oil then I used some fabric cleaner, scrubbed and followed up with a wet vac immediately after, had to repeat it a couple of times but got the stain out.
Thanks I've got loads of panel wipe so I'll give that a go! 👍
Try some elbow grease degreaser out the pound shop on your seat. The stuff marvellous for cleaning anything inside or outside the van. Best stuff ever for cleaning wheels and tyres 😎👍
Thanks I'll see if I can get some 👍
In desperation sometimes when I was working in car sales we would clean seats and door cards with truck wash ( traffic film remover) just dilute it down depending on the severity of the stain spray on agitate with a stiff brush and soak up and wring out with a chamois, once had to do a whole Galaxy interior like this !
Interesting! Thank you I will see if I can get hold of some 👍
Great vids mate, nice to see someone being investigative and not afraid to dive in. Have subscribed and will keep watching.
Watching from London.
Thank you many more projects to come !! 👌
Elbow grease degreaser from b and m for the seat stains. Or i imagine any degreaser to break it down if its oil. Between that and isopropyl alcohol i removed dry pen ink from my t5 seats.
Thank you 👍👍
Love your videos mate..great viewing with feet up, cup of tea and biscuits! 😎..keep em coming 👍
Hahaha 🤣 thank you Arthur 👍
What about the cab filter when you were at the fan tyreshine is great on the cab mat keep up the good work
AHH damn I should have replaced that whilst I was in there! 🤦 Thank you Trevor 🙏
great series, subscribed.
Thanks for subbing 🙏
Great video and Work!
i would buy a set of floor mats, put power windows on it(100-200 pound job) and window switches and give it fresh new wiper blades.
P.S The seats need a deep clean, wet vac and steam clean.
Great little T5!
I like the sound of that power windows would be a treat! Yea the current wiper blades are useless! 🤣 I've got a mate with a wet vac might see if I can borrow it! Thanks
No worries! The Wiper blades are like 15-20 pounds and the door cards + regulators are mby 100-200 pounds! @@cashmachinecars
If there was a significant boost leak that engine will go into limp mode, so its unlikely to be anything serious. The bayonet type connections between the hoses do wear over time. you can buy replacement seals (green O ring), but in my experience the failure that tends to occur is the little metal bayonet ears wearing away, rather than the O ring having failed.
you tasted the oil haha, mental! great video again!
Another great vid. Keep em coming mate.
Thanks Julian 👍
G101 and steam mate, for mould on the interior.
Thank you 👍
Brilliant job! Very educational and well edited
Thank you Bob!! 🙏
Brake & clutch cleaner sprayed on a cloth & rubber gently should clean it off.
Thank you I'll give this a go! 👍
Unsure whether it would translate to your seat issue, but I've previously used high alcohol content hand santiser to remove an ink stain from clothing and after a few rounds, the stain was completely gone. Might be worth a shot!
Okay that's interesting I can give it a go Ive got some lying around 👍 thank you
Great job, looks amazing inside now
Thank you peter
Those are not the injector seals you are looking for. The ones that would put diesel in the oil are internal inside the injector. Those seals could only possibly cause a lean condition but it's actually the brass/copper washers that are do in the sealing so the o ring are probably mostly suspesion.
Hope you changed the cabin air filter when you changed the blower motor!
I didn't I completely forgot!! 🤦
Brake cleaner can be good for upholstry to some times. USed to use it fro removing windscreen sealant from a pillars and head lining.
Thanks I'll give that a go!!
Swafega wipe for your seat stain.
Boost leak, grab some brake cleaner and spray onto the various boost hose joints one at a time and listen for a change in engine speed as the brake cleaner delivers a temporary seal to a leak. Include the intercooler in your travels as they are a known weakness after higher mileages / ages.
Great thanks I'll give that a go! 👍
Check the boost pipes on each side of the intercooler, they may be slightly loose, common problem
Tip: I know on the T4's you could move the whole front end of the van forward by about 25cm just by removing 4 easy to get to bolts, it was called "putting into service position" if I remember right, it gave you A LOT more space/room when you were working on the engine. Not sure if you can do that on the T5's but worth Googling if you can
Oh wow that would be cool!! I'll look it up? Thank you 👍
Fair play to you, you done a great job 👏 maybe consider making a cheap camper, that would be interesting
That's the plan hopefully 🤞 think I've got a great way of doing also! 👌
Coming along very nicely
Thanks 👍
Loving the videos on the Transporter, I’ve bought myself a 2005 1.9 TDI like yours in white 👍🏼😊
Nice how are you finding it? Hope it wasn't as bad as mine 🤦
@@cashmachinecars haha no not quite 😂 it has had sign writing on it which has faded so it needs a good machine polish but other than that it’s ready to convert into a camper 😎
Loving all the content uploads. Another great video.
Thank you Chris! 👍
Smoke test the inlet side. The tester has a blow up bladder that you put in the inlet hose. Once you fill the inlet system with smoke, you will see if there are any leaks 😊
Thank you yes I'm gonna try the smoke test I think. 👍
smoke test on the intake/boost system, block off one end and pressurise it with smoke to find the leaks. you can get proper smoke detectors but i have seen vapes used which makes sense lol Check vacuum lines etc too.
You could go back to basics and spray brake cleaner on joints to see if the engine note changes or water and fairy liquid.
nice one! great idea I'll buy a vape and give that a go do you think a cheap disposable one from the garage will work or would I need a proper one? thanks 👍
@cashmachinecars not sure how good those garage ones are tbh as indont vape. if you know someone with a proper vape it's going to probably be better 👍
Try baking soda or white vinegar for the oil stain, Great Job so far!
Thanks for the tip! I'll see if that works 👍
great content fella.
Thanks David 👍
Great video 👍
Thanks Paul 👍
Good job, enjoyed your content.
Thank you 👍
Replace the thermostat and housing also
I’m sure I bought a black vw touran off you a few years ago? Maybe 6yrs ago
I think it was a 54 plate if I remember correctly
Loving your vids 👍
YOu need to crank at full throttle to purge the fuel system after working on it.
Wish I had known this at the Tim haha 🤦
Great video. I was suprised by the injector seals, not had that before and i have plenty of experience with that engine. Any more problems with the engine consider the pd130 engine swap. £300 for a used one with lower mileage than you have now and you definitely have the mechanical ability to do it. Keep going with the camper conversion, ive turned similar t5s into £15000 campers.
Pour baking soda on the stain leave it for half an hour and vacuum it up.
For stubborn stains, rub fairy liquid into the stain pour on more baking soda leave 15 minutes and lift out with a wet upholstery cleaning machine.
I just sneak the rug doctor out of the house when she isnt looking.
Hahaha I think there is some rug doctor in the cupboard 🤔 thank you
To clean oil off your seat just spray brake cleaner on it and scrub with a brush and wipe it with a micro fibre cloth just keep repeating until clean after that just use a carpet cleaner to tidy up the rest .
Thank you I'll give this a go!! 👌
Great work mate, looking forward to the other videos
Thank you 👍
Hello mate nice job, take the seats out and jet wash them then put them indoors to dry..
Good idea thank you! 👍
looking forward on turning this thing into a camper, cheers from bosnia :)
Thank you Ahmed! 🙏
Buzzing for the cheap conversion, id like to do one myself!
Thanks, it's gonna be the cheapest one out there I reckon!! 👌
well done your doing great.
Thank you! 🙏
Definitely needs cambelt.and I would go through every swap and gasket....check and replace.plus double check all boots and connections
It had one 2016 but definitely needs one! Yea it's still leaking a little oil I'm sure!
Great progress
Thanks Adrian 👍
WD40 to remove oil from the seat 🙂👍
Thanks 👍
More more more :) Lovin the van.
I’ll bet my life savings, at least 1 cup holder is broke :) let me know. I have a cheap fix 🤙
Thank you haha I'll have a look and let you know! 🙂👍
Loved that👍
Thank you Mike! 👍
You done great job with all of it , but one question... you spent so much on good parts and then you filled up with Halfords engine oil... can you tell me why 😂😂😂😂?
Nice one, have you seen the vids with people using graffiti paint to do the resprays?some nice satin colours.
patience good detergent and blot not scrub with a terry type absorbent cloth for your seats, if that fails , try a wet vac, or just take the covers off and throw them in a washing machine.
I have, could be a cool look! 👍 Haha I like the idea of chucking them in the washing machine... Not sure my girlfriend will like it tho haha 😂😂
Be nice to get updates on volvo and vauxhall 220 and is the vw finished
Great job , paint it in raptor paint,👍🏻
Great videos, keep it up. Would be really useful if you didn’t Timelapse all the detailed processes like how you removed the injectors and replaced the seals - at least on one of them.
Thank you yes I probably should have explained it better 👍
Nice work .
Thank you
Looking good, Harry. Nice job on the interior clean, too. Did the smells go away? If not it might be a case (in spring weather) of taking seats and flooring out and cleaning behind/pressure washing. For the oil stains in the seats - make sure they are dry first, won’t work if still damp - then use brake cleaner on them. Soak and mop up with soft cloth a few times then vac it. Maybe finish off with some laundry detergent mixed in a spray bottle. 👍🏻
Thanks yes sort of it's still there a little bit, yea that's a good idea! Thank you 👍
Wouldn't bother with getting rid of that stain, get some decent tailor made covers it will change the interior drastically.
Anyway, your videos are just addictive to watch, waiting for more and left the sub of course. Take care pal
I'm gonna try putting the covers it came with through the washing machine to see how they come up, if they're still horrible I'll get a nice set definitely 👍 thank you very much really appreciate it 🙏
Great content pal, especially with T5, ppl love it. Will you plan to face-lift it in future to t6?
Hi the oil stain on the twin seat try a dish washer tab worked for me.
Good idea! Thank you 👍
Great job with the engine. I wouldn't do the body work just yet as it's too cold unless you've got somewhere warm to paint it. As for the seats you could try some Swarfega, the stuff you clean oil off your hands with , might do it?
Yea it's freezing 🥶 I've got a tent and a heater but not sure it'll warm the car up enough (probably just be a condensation nightmare) thank you I'll try that! 👍
Good grief mate - whoever owned this before was a total pig - look at the inside of this great car. I own a 2022 Transporter and I keep it in good nick all the time - its super clean all the time.
They are great vehicles. Good job on the clean and the fault repairs.
I know! 🐖 Haha thank you very much 🙏
What did you use to clean the dash and doors that you agitated with a brush ?
It was just soapy water and a very stiff brush, probably would have been quicker with a degreaser of some sort. 👍
That plastic temp sensor pipe is a very common problem. I replaced mine after 100K with a new sensor and a new thermostat whilst the system was drained. The loom is a common failure as well. It gets brittle and need to be handled carefully😃😃😎😎
Thank you!
Great job mate enjoying your videos thanks
Thanks James 🙏
Maybe swap out the barn doors for tailgate, better as a shelter when camping, price up for a sliding door to swap out depending on how bad the damage is on it, the smell in there is more than likely under the rubber cab mat, might be worth taking the seats out for a proper wet vac, not a big job to get the rubber out to clean underneath, you can add a bit of sound deadening to lose the biscuit tin rattles
Thanks great suggestions! I'll see if I can get a tailgate that would be great for camping! The sliding door is pretty bad are they cheap haha, yea looked under the seat and it's pretty gross 🤢🤣
Take that bench seat out and pressure wash it🎉
The fact that the part number was on the original tandem pump in paint pen makes me think it’s been done before you bought it with a used one from a breaker.
I didn't even see that! Good spot! Thanks 👍
I was going to say the same thing. That looks like its from a breaker.
Nice work,the van cleaned up nice. has the volvo sold now ?
Thanks mike, yes I sold it an hour after listing it for sale, think I put it up too cheap 🤦♂️
must have been a bargain but its money back in your pocket for the next one.@@cashmachinecars
Try some wd40 on the oil stain it seems crazy but it definitely works
Thanks for the tip!
gut job
Something is kinda weird about this one... It looks like a 1st gen T5 but the rear looks T5.1ish as does the steering wheel. Front grille is also weird for this generation. This thing has been around the block couple of times it seems.
I thought I looked a bit weird, it's definitely been around the block!!
i'd love to get one of those for £500
There out there man but they are rough 🤣
Taste !? 😂 just give it a sniff
Go to be sure tho hahaha 🤣🤣
Use an extracter vacuum
Thanks I haven't got one but I should get one! 👍
only just found your channel, loving it so far. can't wait to see how the conversion comes out, as for paint have you considered rollering raptor paint on ? I thought about it with my T4 but most of my panels are in good nik so didnt but before i bought this one i was looking at one that was a bit rough outside and was just going to roller it haha
Thank you! I was thinking of painting it the original colour first and then maybe wrapping it black with cash Machine Cars livery?? Maybe or could raptor paint it black?
Tasting the oil for diesel is not a thing I'd thought of ever doing
Is this more common than I think?
You can usually just smell it to be fair 😂😂
what about the loose thing under the mech. fuel pump?
Thanks I managed to tighten it up! Really unsure why so many of the bolts were loose 🤔
Hello ,
Can u tell me how u use for cleaning the interior ?
Sorry for my english !
Nice vidéo
Hello from France 🇫🇷
No problem bonjour, it was just soapy water and a very stiff brush to get into the pattern on all the plastic 👍
mint video, not so daunting now seeing you do the injector seals, are you leaving it pre face lift or are you lifting it to 5.1 or 6, will be good to see how it comes along. 😍
Thank you 👍 I would love to do a face lift down the line if I can find one cheap enough!
Brake cleaner and some clean rags on that seat if it is oil..
I'll give that a go thanks 👍
