    I'm after some information regarding replacing an engine in my T4 800 special. In my previous post you'll see that the crankshaft pulley bolt sheered off twice within 3 weeks. We rebuilt it the first time it went, but 3 weeks later it went again and we came to the decision that we'd need a new...

    My 2005 1.9 5sp diesel was Pendle remapped a while back and when it’s cold it’s an absolute swine to start some of the time: I’ll cycle the ignition a few times but the car doesn’t have any glow plug indicators on the dashboard so I’m assuming they’re working? It’ll turn over for ages sometimes...

    I'm new to this forum. I own a 2007 T5 1.9 TDI Engine has been rebuilt and was then rebuilt again as first rebuild was unsuccessful. Original fault, engine knocking noise, diagnosed as camshaft and cam lifter problem. Repairer decided on a full engine rebuild. Left with excessive oil...

    Hi guys I need your advice ...Bought T5 (1.9L 77 kw) AXB 2006 with couple issues and trying to sort it out. Car doesn't want to drive but fine when left just on idles. Revving around 1000-1200 rpm get bit rough but after fine and can hold nicely or would die after revving up and down. Scan the...

    I’ve just bought a 1.9 T5 T32, and given my current levels of mechanical ineptitude was so focussed on checking fluid levels etc. that I missed this cable tied bodge on the top of the engine. I think this is a bodged EGR valve bypass, but I wanted to double check. I can see two spots...

    Hi, This is my first post (although I've been reading the forum for a while and the information available is next to none!) I have a quite but constant whistle coming from my van (T5, 2009 1.9TD) , which i believe to be the turbo. I have attached a video to this thread for confirmation. If it...

    Firstly I know that there's lots of Q&A on this subject and I have tried to search them all. My dilemma is that I can't seem to get a belt that fits. My T5 is a 1.9 BRS engine but has the modified engine mount, so has the tensioner that mounts with 2 bolts instead of the version mounted with 3...

    Hi folks My van is a 2004 1.9 T5 85, and it's just passed 190K miles. Recently, it's not been starting when hot, and even more recently, it's been stalling at certain moments when hot. It happened quite infrequently at the beginning. Once every week or so. I'd stop at a shop and it wouldn't...

    Hi all, Long time lurker of the forum, and for years never had any problems with my T800 special. It's just thrown a conrod, and put a hole straight through the bottom of the engine- so now I need to find a replacement. At this point, I was wondering whether there were any other options than...

    Hi everyone, I'm looking for a bit of advice. My T5 2006, 1.9 TDI AXB Engine is slowly giving up on me and breaking my heart :/ . I gambled on it when I bought it, it had 235,000 miles and has 280,000 miles now. I have spent a lot of time converting it to a camper and have spent a lot of money...

    Hello everyone, I have a BRS engine which must have been rebuilt at some time in the past and it is serious stiff to turn when changing the timing belt. Any ideas what could be wrong? Has anyone got a BRS engine in good condition for sale or a suitable block to replace my current one? Regards...
  15. Engine & Gearbox
    I posted an original thread relating to thinking it was a fuel line issue of some sorts. But I think its more electrical and may be something others have an issue with. The van is a 1.9 Diesel T4 and it basically stopped while driving and now won't start again. Video below tried adding but...

    Hi all, i've got a 1.9D powered 95 Reg T4 Camper. I'm looking to increase the power and was wondering what the best way to do this was. Is it best to get a turbo, put in a non turbo 2.4cc or is it possible to go the whole hog and get a 25 TDI set up! Any information would be awsome as new to...
