VW T4 2.5TDi ACV glow plug relay problem
zhlédnutí 10KPřed rokem
There are many causes of starting problems with the VW T4 2.5TDi. The starting point is always to check the pump timing. You can do this either using a dial gauge or using VAGCOM (VCDS) and the TDi-timing graph. In my case, the engine started well during warmer weather and the pump timing was correct. However, when the temperature dropped to below 10°C it became intermittent to start. Upon inve...

    Good video, I haven't had great results with the CA-DAB 001, infact I've fitted two that led to a message on the radio saying antenna error. Some info I found says turn the antenna power off, which weakens the signal but makes it work but a poor signal or constant drop off. Turn the antenna power on and antenna fault message appears. I tend to use the Autoleads one from Halfords, it's got a coax and single black wire to be powered from a 12 volt source. I've had the best results with these ones. The passive or active splitter ones from China are bad, just open the black box and see what the board and solder look like. I wouldn't want that in my car. Because of how the A pillar trim goes on, don't put the black box too close to the pillar, it makes getting the trim back on difficult. Good video

    Just repaired mine, Thanks!! My SMD IR was just weak or dead, bought a strip of 5 pieces (Kingbright KP-2012F3C, 940 NM, 0805) for ~1.50 euro, transport cost were crazy more then 10 euro 🤣 First time SMD soldering went very well thanks to some educational vids on YT😉. (good and bad vids out there on how to do it, use your brain to filter out the good and do it nice). I needed to buy the right super small tip (XT HX) for my Weller iron, very thin tin (0.2mm)😉, I also bought a new bottle of flux (TK83 no clean). Make sure you get the old tin clean off, because you need to seat it flat on the print, can recommend looking for some no clean desoldering wire (I used Techspray no clean). Using my phone as a magnifying glass was a bit clumsy but it worked, need to fix that problem in the future or buy a new pair of eyes like in cyberpunk 2077😇. My end total cost were below 50 euro and got my Fluke 287 back + new soldering tools + new skill level unlocked😜 Thanks again! and good luck if you have the same problem! Fixing your nice battery eating fluke is worth it😛.

      Also VERY important⚠❗ If you screw your fluke back together remember to turn the screws counterclockwise slowly till you feel it fall in the thread, after that you can turn them clockwise😉, because those screws will try to tap a new thread if you don't and you won't like the result if you do that to often!😉

    Very good video. I followed it and it took me 5 hours too as some else have mentioned here. I had 2post lift and i thought i will do quicker. Most difficult part was opening connections between condensder and hoses.Bolts were corroded into aluminium. And seals were stuck too.And second trouble was that condenser bracket which holds those hose connections and is fixed on coolant radiator's side. I bought cheapest condenser and that bracket was bit off from original geometry.

    • @bvqbvq
      @bvqbvq Před měsícem

      I was lucky, my pipe connections were not corroded. I don't know why they position them at the bottom where they are difficult to access and prone to corrosion. All of the VAG cars I've done are similar. I also find that the pipe connection support bracket on pattern condensers is never in the same position as the OEM one.

    Hi Kevin, thanks for this and other videos. I’m about to do exactly as you have done as mine. At first it wouldn’t start which turned out to be an ignition switch. I also changed the Stanadynes as PedroPickle mentioned here. Have not had the benefit of seeing their full glory as now i have a bad white smoke issue from the exhaust and back of the engine. Can’t accelerate as the engine dies and engine won’t go past 1500rpm. Not diagnosed the issue yet but starting with this video. Also mine is an AJT with an ACV plastic cover as PedroPickle pointed out. Back to problem solving!

    Thanks for this brilliant tutorial, it was invaluable, couldn't have done it without it. I replaced the whole regulator as I didn't fancy fitting a new cable and it wasn't too expensive for the whole new part. I found the trickiest part was removing the parts that hold the glass in place. If you're replacing the whole regulator as I did, it was very easy to run a hacksaw blade where the glass is held (flush to glass on outside) and cut off the plastic that goes through the hole. I was a bit worried I'd break the glass when pushing the clip but if you just saw through it then you can't really break the glass.

    @PedroPlckle Před 2 měsíci

    Hi Kevin. I have the exact same model and vintage. Even though ACV is printed on the cam cover, that's only because the ACV model cam cover is also fitted to this engine model - the AJT. Does the engine smoke white upon first starting after a day or two of rest? If so, the inlet air leak you refer to here is not the reason. Although a good idea to find a nice securing clip for that pipe, it is almost certainly the OE injectors of the 88bhp model - the Stanadynes - that are leaking fuel into the chamber after a rest that is causing any starting issues. I have a custom body and nozzle combination that you can get from International Diesels that are stamped "GERMANY VW Audi" - that are actually Bosch units - I can dig out for you if you reply to this comment - See Ron Rake on T4 Forum - he did mine for me but he's in Liverpool. Completely transformed the running of mine. At least 102bhp now and beautiful to drive.

    • @bvqbvq
      @bvqbvq Před 2 měsíci

      He is Project Power, and he calls my custom body and nozzle setup the "PP0.5". It's the largest flowing injector setup you can get without needing to remap the ECU. I nursed it once and on a long trip I got 76mpg. Yes, 76. Did a 310-mile round trip to Santa Pod and it used less than a quarter of a tank of diesel.

  • @muhindojehoiadapatience4455

    • @bvqbvq
      @bvqbvq Před 2 měsíci

      Ideally you need a code reader to see if there are any errors. If you crank the engine for a long time and then it starts then I think that this is an indication that the ECU is not seeing the crank sensor signal and it reverts to using the cam sensor to run the engine. If this is the case then you either have a sensor fault or a wiring fault. You will need to use standard fault-finding techniques to fit the problem.

    Hello Kevin, I am having issues with volume cutting in an out and believe it is the cord that connects to the ear muff.

    • @bvqbvq
      @bvqbvq Před 4 měsíci

      Hi, my advice is to handle the plastics very carefully, they don't seem to age well and become brittle. The battery box is easy to open, just the 2 screws inside and then you have to unwind the helical spring around the end. The cord to the earmuffs is just plugged into the printed circuit board. It might be held in place with some soft adhesive. I haven't ever disconnected the cord from the earmuffs but it is just a couple of screws and then it unplugs. It should be a straightforward job so long as none of the plastic breaks.

    The fuel flap is a slide fit on the hinge. Once you have levered the flap out, simply pull it backwards & it comes off. you can then access end of the actuator to release the hinge assy. Check the video by Tomas Dvorak. There is no need to break anything.

    Hi kevin, Franck from France, Owner of the AVCA1SE model for over nearly Two Decades now, my front panel started to turn blank intermittently. I had to give big bumps at the front top chassis to make it alive. Recently, It turned loose one more time and I do not want to "push it around" again. I do suspect a bad connection, BUT since you took a deep look into it, do you have any ideas to where this connection would be visible. I don't want to dismantle the whole pretty massive thing. PS : i Had this kind of issue you mentioned in your video a few years ago, ( flashing light and the Amp going on stand by mode) but turned it off completely, waited for a few secs, and it rumbled again with great noise. Cheers and thanks for your instructive video, you might be of good help for me sooner or later, considering this type of issue. FG

    • @bvqbvq
      @bvqbvq Před 6 měsíci

      Bonjour Frank. My advice would be to download the service manual (there is a link in the description). I would carefully disassemble the amp so that you can access the circuit boards. I would then power it up and carefully push on the cables, circuit boards and components with a non-conductive tool to locate the source of the bad connection. One you have found it you will be able to repair it. More than likely it will be a bad solder joint. While you have the amp disassembled, I would also check the solder joints that I found bad in my video. Even if they look OK I would redo them with fresh solder. A joint failure in this section of the circuit can result in blown components which will make it much more difficult to repair. I hope that helps.

    Brave speaker surgery here. Note, the cone also has to be centered like the magnet. To do this, remove the dust cover and insert 3-4 cardboard strips into the magnet gap so the cone sits snugly. Then glue down the spider (orange surround) and then the rubber surround, and the dust cover.

      I was able to line up the spider on the chassis in the original position and luckily this was sufficiently accurate to allow the coil to move freely in the magnet gap. If the magnet wasn't so strong it might have been possible to realign it without removing the cone.

    I know this has been up for several years but does anyone know if this applies to the AVC-A10 which mine is giving similar symptoms. TIA.

      I think that many of the Denon units of this vintage have the same problem. The root causes are single-sided PCBs and lead-free solder. My advice is have a look at the PCBs, wobble the components and resolder them as necessary before the broken joints cause component damage. The biggest part of the job is disassembling the unit and getting access to the PCBs. So long as nothing is damaged, it is a cheap and easy fix to do the soldering. Good luck!

    I’ve got mk3 estate and same issue. Have you replaced with the Audi part and did it fit and work?

    • @bvqbvq
      @bvqbvq Před 9 měsíci

      I didn't replace mine since the flap was damaged. The pictures of the Audi part look identical to the Skoda part except for the emergency release. If I was going to replace mine, that is what I would buy.

    I managed to open it.. I had to lock on and off my car.. and it does work after every 10 or 15 try with a push.. I wonder If there is some corrosion or smthing..what do you think?

    • @bvqbvq
      @bvqbvq Před 9 měsíci

      I don't think that it's corrosion. The motor commutator stops at the same place every time the central locking is locked. That means that when it is opened, the current spike on start-up burns the commutator slightly each time until eventually there is sufficient carbonisation to prevent the motor from running. I took my motor apart and you can see where it is burnt. It's not a very good design that is destined to fail eventually. If the motor stopped at a slightly different random position each time the system locked it would last a lot longer. There is no way to solve this problem without redesigning the lock mechanism. An emergency release mechanism would be a great help. I am not sure of the benefits of having a locking filler cap, it takes too long to syphon out a tank of fuel, it's quicker to steal a catalytic converter.

      ​@@27jezus, this is the part number for one with an emergency release for about the same price, 8F0862153E. I haven't tried it myself but it looks identical and that's what I would probably fit now.

    • @bvqbvq
      @bvqbvq Před 9 měsíci

      I would make a couple of measurements of voltage and resistance before you change the sensor. Take a look at the notes in the description. If you pull on the wiring whilst making the measurements then you can see if the values are changing. The fact that your problem is linked to heat suggests that it might well be the sensor itself that is faulty.

    Does the front power supply heat sink of of yours get warm/hot even at idle? Is that normal for this amp, it is generating a lot of power after all...

    • @bvqbvq
      @bvqbvq Před 9 měsíci

      Looking at the service manual and schematic it looks like that front heatsink is used with the voltage regulators used to generate the internal supplies. It is therefore likely to be warm all the time that the unit is powered on. It is the side heatsinks that are connected to the output transistors, they will only get hot if you play a large signal into a set of speakers. If your amp is working correctly I wouldn't worry too much unless that heatsink is getting really hot. If that is the case you will need to download the service manual and start measuring voltages and current.
