Right.....hey everyone, new to the forum & new to T4 ownership. What a journey so far 😅
Bought the Camper converted 1991 1.9d 1x H Reg VW T4, now knows an TED in April, as a lock-down toy. It had good service history, 118,000miles on the clock, New gearbox & all the goodies (auto-Manual conversion), Plus other typical service parts in the last year. 👍🏽
Now, A few months later 121,000 miles on the clock, we bust a coolant hose whilst climbing a hill in Exmoor. We loose the lot (Pisssss), engine gets nice & toasty.....split coolant flange & blown head gasket. Yippee 🥳
Get the van home & replace;
Coolant flange, Coolant hoses, Water pump, timing belt, head gasket, head-bolts, crankshaft pulley & belts, alternator, gasket for inlet & exhaust manifolds, glow plugs, new oil & filter, fuel filter & a few sensors to be on the safe side.
Now it starts (a little stubbornly) runs rough as hell with blue smoke & then once I take my foot off the accelerator and get it to idle, it cuts out.
Anyone have any suggestions of possible causes? Before I strip it apart again & rebuild. 😅
Thanks in advance,
Gregor
