Hello and welcome to our channel, im Rob and along with my wife Donna and our little premmie baby boy Erik we enjoy vanlife in our #VW #T4, We'd love you to join us on our adventures, learning about mending, modding and passing on our experiences of #family #vanlife. We have lots to do on the van, and some amazing trips planned. And we hope you enjoy the journey as much as we do (although sometimes it's sooooooo frustrating). We hope you find something of interest. We are already looking for our next project, as we already need a bit more space, and cant wait to get going on our next conversion. We also have a recycled clothing company that we run (Valhalla Boutique), and along with my older son Kai we also build bespoke vans for other peoples adventures, we believe family and adventure is priceless, and we cherish every single day. Thank you for reading, and watching our videos, if you like what you see please don't forget to Like and subscribe 👍🤘
Mate i was over the moon lol. Easiest job ever. Which probably means next one will be a nightmare haha. And thanks mate. Life's been a bit hectic with littleman. But lots more coming 🤙🤙😎
Would obviously depend on the clocks you have mate. But it's worked on mine and a lot of others. You'll need to remove clocks and see what you got. There are other options depending on clock pcb pattern glad you found video useful, let me know if I can help. 🤙🤙
Thank you for watching. I'm glad you found it useful. I bought a multipack from a well known shopping site lol. Here is the link amzn.eu/d/ix1t4Xd hope this helps 🤙🤙
Hi, great video, i have a 94 with the same issue will i need the capacitor or toe re-soulder the six conectors? Wanna be ready before i take it appart.
Hi mate. Sorry for the late reply. Vw have a habit of putting whatever they like in the dash assembly lol. Well they do when it comes to mine. Mine was in a changeover year so I have allsorts of random parts on mine. Once you get the back off you will be able to see. The capacitors are relatively cheap to buy. And in either case you will be needing a soldering iron and some fluxed solder. 🤙🤙
Great video I don’t suppose you know if this works under T5 2012 I want to change my single captain seat to a double bench seat was just wondering if the pins would work the same cheers
Hello mate. I'm not 100 percent certain, however the bench seat is an available option in the t5 so I would presume the bolt layout etc will be similar. Let me know how you get on. Be interesting to know🤙🤙🤙
Mate I’ve ha nothing but van problems this year started with a vacuum pump and an alternator which led to a new camshaft now it’s the aux belt tensioner almost 4k spent on her this year and it only April 😢 now wish I’d just put a new engine in her 💩
Mate I know where you're coming from. I often think mine would have been easier to just take out engine and refit new one properly, I've spent 2 years chasing and mending bodges from the previous owner. Saying that wouldn't be without it though lol. 🤙🤙🤟
So glad I’ve found your video! You have given me new hope for sorting the clocks on our t4 (same as yours) so….how do I go about purchasing one of those capacitors from you dude? Cheers.
Glad you found us and hope the video helps you. If you are on insta send me a dm on there and I'll get a cap sorted for you , just search valhalla vw 🤙🤙
Hi there great videos I got same clocks as yours,problem I got I had a half shaft go on me,took it to a garage to get done.now I got no speedo / fuel/temp or time clock working I took van back,all he said was it needs new clock,s so I got van back off him now I’m driving round with no clocks have you come across this before ,cheers kev.
Hi there again I took clocks out,I got someone to solder new capacitor in which I supplied the capacitor had 470au 25v but it was half the size of the one he removed when I reconnected the plug smoke came from around capacitor,any suggestions please thanks again for great video
Hello mate. Did you find it a rush in 7 days or did you get plenty of time to stop and enjoy along the way? East to West is what i think we will end up doing 🤙🤙 thanks for the info, hope you're enjoying the channel 👍
@@valhallavw would have been good to have more time to explore and to slow down a bit and spend more than 1 night in some place’s. Defo east to west that gives you the option to visit Skye and maybe the glencoe route south from there 👌. Lovin the Channel keep up the good work👍
@@T4ontour we have 4 weeks to play with, no rush, I Can't wait gonna be great. Think Im nearly decided on east to West. Want to take it all in. Glad to hear you're enjoying the channel mate. And thanks for the support 🤙🤙we rea. really appreciate it
I switched out the capacitor, plugged the cluster back in and all the dials were back to normal except for the fuel gauge. Turns out I had pushed that one down a bit too far so there was too much friction against the clock surface. Backed it off and all is well. Thanks for this great video!
@@valhallavw It was fine for a couple of drives, and then the van sat for a few weeks. Today the dials are going crazy again, could something else be causing the capacitor to go bad, or was my soldering job inadequate?
@@HaroldThePumpkin hello mate sorry for the delay in replying. That's a tricky one. I've had no problems since mine was done. Touch wood lol. I would try again, maybe dodgy capacitor or soldering not quite right. Give board a good clean. Did you use flux solder ?
@@valhallavw I didn't use flux, even though I thought I should. I was working with what was in my dad's garage. I'll give it another try with flux and a good cleaning!
I cannot get the needles off. I've tried pulling hard with my fingers as well as using a trim removal fork to provide leverage. Has anyone got any tricks for this? Edit: Finally got it, it took a lot of pressure and wiggling.
I would go up thu the Dales not done it our van but have been up thru there in my work truck stunning places to just stop and look hope the trip goes well
Thanks mate and yeah that's what I was thinking and then back down the east coast and the moors on way back. We was hoping to visit the dales last summer but van problems en route put pay to that. 🤙🤙
Hi, thanks for the guidance. My alternator belt just snapped! With the alternator bolt, when you say “the bolt just needs to be undone to allow the alternator to be pushed back”, do you loosen the bolt then push the alternator back towards the bulkhead? Or towards the front of the car? I’m a bit confused about the alternator part, please can you explain further? Many thanks
Hello mate sorry to hear about the belt. Once bolt is undone the alternator should move toward the front of the car. This will allow the new belt to be fitted and then once it's on, push alternaor towards bulkhead to take out the slack. May need a small bar to get tension on the belt. 🤙 Glad vid helped and thanks for watching and supporting the channel 👍👍
Thanks mate much appreciated. I have successfully changed the belt this afternoon. You were right it is a complete pig to loosen the adjuster bolts! I also have an air compressor unit which is directly below tensioning bar which made it even more of a nightmare but accessible by taking the plastic under tray off completely and going in from the side. I certainly had fun like you say 😂. Nice one thanks again! 🤟
Hi. I'm afraid that wasn't an option. The bolts holding the pump on were also through and holding the alternator bracket in place. So everything had to come off to replace. 🤙
Loved your video. Spot on .one thing you maybe able to help with .turned over to look at the solders.and was greeted with 3 small cogs lol. Do they go on the back off the temp fuel and speedo. Or should i put them on the small pin on each gauge. Hope you came across this lol .10,10 for videos
Hello mate. Thank you for your kind words and glad the vid helped, the small cogs are the gears that turn the needles. I presume your casings came open when you removed the needles. They go on the small pins in the needle housings. 🤙🤙🤙
Top work, man. I really respect that you took the time to do the necessary research and then share the info. It is so satisfying when you sort a problem out yourself, not to mention the money saved. Add to that the fact your hard work is going to help many other T4 owners. T4s! The content creating gift that never stops giving. 😂😂 Well done, sir.
Thank you for the kind words mate. It's a problem I've had for nearly 2 years and I'm sure others have too. If we can help that's amazing, it's more than a van it's a brotherhood. We are so happy this vid is already helping out t4 owners. I'm sure the next problem won't be far away haha 😂😂😂🤙 thank you so much for supporting the channel, we really appreciate it 🤙🤙
Awesome video. Got 1 spare of these clocks with this problem and had to pay £380 for a replacement clocks as these are getting like hens teeth. Gonna give that a go so my van shows the correct millage and get the original back in. Only thing I'm struggling with is how does the clock, fuel and temp, millage clocks come out. Great video watched all ur t4 vids
Wow that's a lot of money. But they are getting rarer and rarer I suppose. Definitely worth giving it a go mate. The caps cost pennies, and it's a straightforward job. I have posted on a previous vid how to remove clock faces. But it's just a case of gentle pressure under the needles and they will slide of the pins. Then the clocks will be free to remove mate. Let me know how you get on 🤙🤙 and thanks so much for supporting the channel, we really appreciate it
My display went walkabout a while ago, watched your videos and had it stripped down a couple of times with no luck. Went on fb marketplace and got ripped off by some lowdown scrote for £95 So your latest fix looks good I’ll order one Great stuff my friend keep it up 👍
Sorry to hear about your Facebook experience, seems common nowadays. Thanks for watching the videos, we really appreciate the support. I ordered mine off amazon was an assorted pack for 8.99. Let us know how you get on 🤙🤙
There is usually something to mend or alter mate lol. I worry if it's not broken haha 😂 thanks for the comment and supporting the channel. Appreciate it 🤙🤙
