Hi all a very basic question and a bit embarrasing after swapping from auto to manual gearbox, do I need to push the stick down to select reverse or just move it all the way over to the right then back as if selecting a 6th gear if it were fitted ? All the other gears seem to select nicely after...

Does anyone know the correct length of the driveshaft for a T4 ACV with an AFK gearbox on the passenger side? I have seen both 529 and 541 mm ones and do not know which one to pick. Cannot check on my car as the driveshaft I want to replace is probably not originally from a T4, but a Passat (I...

Brethren ... I’m looking for advice. 2002 2.5TDI Caravelle. Last week went to pull away from a standing start and it felt like it was going to stall, it did ... and then the gear stick suddenly when sloppy ... so I discovered on here that it was likely to be the gear selector bushes/balls...

Hi there, as most here I'd like to get a little more oumph from my 1993 AAB Westfalia Camper. Here in Canada, we didn't have the 2.5 TDI nor that the 2.4 D sold in the US ... So our power upgrades are limited. I've been reading posts here and there trying to gather the best option for : 1)...

Hi, has anyone ever tried removing their PCV valve completely? I'm thinking of replacing it with an oil catch can with a breather on it. I don't want hot oily air to get into my cold air intake, but I don't want to ruin my engine either. I know the air intake takes care of sucking the blowby...

Hi All Looking for recommendations for a 'specialist' in St Albans area. We have a 1996/97 LHD T4 2.5 Tdi ACV with turbo/power problems. Engine starts and runs ok, but lacks power - struggles uphill, and doesn't feel like the turbo is working. Replaced MAF and 2 pin coolant sensor, checked...

Afternoon folks. I've just put the engine back into my '97 Carvavelle post clutch and dmf change to resolve a leaking slave cylinder. It refuses to fire! I've research a lot of threads on here - most associate the problem with the glow plug light not coming on and a broken earth return from...

G'Day Gang, My Transporter has died :* not sure why. When my wife started it there was a bad knock/rattle in the cam belt area. It idled for a short time then stopped. Now it will not fire at all but turns over freely. The cam belt has been changed 15k km ago and with the engine being cranked...

Hi all A quick question or two. The turbo on my T4 ACV swb only cuts in at 2400 revs, sudden acceleration and much more lively. Could this be a hole in a pipe or something? If it cut in lower, I wouldn't have to change down for some of the hills around where we live! Cheers Miles

I've had a recurring leak with the gear box filler plug on my T4 2.5tdi ACV. Doesn't matter how tight I tighten it (as tight as two hands can) it still leaks, this will be the fourth time now! :confused: Could the plug (with washer) be loosening itself as it's damaged? Can't see any visible...

Hello all Im new to the forum so bare with me if my questions seem a bit silly. But anyway my van indeed died during acceleration i had about 70km/h speed and went on to switch for the fifth gear and car just died. I had driven car for about 5-6kms and engine was quite warm as my friend had...

I have a Vetech timing belt kit for sale that I got when I bought the van. However, I fitted both belts from a single kit so this is surplus. £50 plus postage. The kit comprises of timing belt, tensioner and bolt. The kit was bought for an ACV 2.5TDI but I believe it'll fit all the T4 2.5...

Hi all. I have had an oil leak for most of the year (yeah, I know I should have got it sorted sooner) & I want to get it sorted. Can anybody post pics of the rear of an ACV engine? I want to see what can leak on the back of the engine. I have tried to get pics of my engine from the side & my...
