It’s that time again where I am at a loss as to the randomness of the previous owners electro -mechanical skills 😂. These 3 wires, one yellow and black, one white and one yellow (the yellow one comes out of some black fabric tape with the no. 39 on it) were twisted into the headlamp loom near...

Hi all, been stripping down my injector pump (2.4d) to reseal/clean it and have previously read that when making a hybrid LDA pump using a NA one this pin needs to be cut off. Does anyone know what it does (ie why it’s there on a NA pump but not a LDA) one and if it’s going to have any adverse...

The timing is all set on the pump (and the cam), the new filter put on and filled and being as the fuel lines have been off the pump filled. It has been primed and there are no air bubbles in the return line. It fires up briefly if I pump the pedal like a madman but dies as soon as I stop. I...

Hi everyone, just after a bit of advice on this. I’ll be doing the timing belt this weekend on Indiana (weather permitting) and after searching I cannot find anything conclusive on what counterhold tool I need for the early v-belt type crank pulley like this I have seen the one available which...

Hi all, I've just had a slightly worrying experience in my T4 2.4D I hadn't driven it in about 2 months because of lockdown and just went to give it a spin. Engine started fine but could hear a flapping noise from the engine and had very little power. It moved but I couldn't get it up the ramp...

Hi Gang, We put about 1000 km on our "new" 93 2.4D AAB California. Unfortunately, the engine was consuming coolant and our local shop says the head gasket went bad and the engine needs a new cylinder head. The overall cost with labor and machine work on the head is going to be 2000 to 3000...

Hi All, I have a relatively new to me 1997 2.4d T4, the electrical system and battery have been going strong until recently (excluding an issue with glow-plug relay). Recently I had some welding done to deal with some rust on the floor pan and the van drove and started grand the next two days...

For sale, good honest LWB van in decent condition. I bought this to lug stuff about, with possibility of converting in summer. However, having a T5 on the drive already the other half wasn't best pleased, so putting up for sale. I can't tell you a huge amount about it, other than: Bought from...

I have a T4 1993 2.4D automatic lwb. The gearbox has packed in and the steering box needs replacing. I am looking a buying a donor van to change it over to a manual box. Just wondering if anyone knows anything that will help. Which model t4 will have the necessary parts that will fit and any...

Hello, I have been searching for a long time but not found an answer. i have a late 94 T4 2.4D. It has the clock with a mechanical speedo and no rev counter. Had the clutch changed a couple of years ago and pretty soon after the speedo became erratic.finally to stop altogether. Finally got round...

T4 2.4D standard backbox in good order (used 3k miles). Believe also fits 1.9D. Bought in error for my 2.5TDI £20. Collect from Salisbury.

Hi I've just replaced the 2 mid sections of the exhaust on the van (new mounts too) all good but noticed on the start of the back box section I.E before the silencer close to joint with next section. That there is a hook mount the same as the one on the previous section used to mount the rubber...

Does anyone know what these lines are? I noticed a smell of fuel coming from my 2.4. There was a little bit of smoke puffing from the underside of the rocker cover at these pipes. Are they part of the injectors? It looks like flexible push on pipes. The brading is saturated so looks likes its...

Hi all! Hope this isn't something I should already know but... Our 2.4D Caravelle had a new clutch early this year. All was good for about 3-4 months then gear selection became increasingly difficult. With assistance, I bled the clutch, which immediately solved the problem, though there...

I don't know what an LDA is - do I have one, do I need one, what does it do? 1996 2.4D (soon to be turbo'd)

Hi, My alternator pulley is offset (outwards) from the line of the pulley on the crankshaft damper by about 8mm. It does not appear to be adjustable. Have I got the wrong pulley or alternator?? thanks for your help, Geoff :confused:

Hi there folks, bought a van yesterday (1991 T4, 2.4D, 100k+ miles on this engine but 257k on the clock) so I'm excited to hit the road. I'm heading up from Edinburgh to north of Inverness this evening - what will be a straight run of 180 miles. I'd love to try sticking some rapeseed oil in the...

HI all, wonder if you can help me on this, am a bit desparate! Last week my bro in law was driving our 97 2.4aab down a slip road when the engine cut. Still electrics worked, but van wouldn't restart or even turn over. Just a click from the solenoid. There was reported and electric-ky smell too...
