Thanks for the help here but i think I'll just buy a new relay to make sure.


**GSF + £16 = Job Done!**

Hiya, would appreciate a little help if possible. Recently the glow plug light has stayed on for at least the 1st 10 minutes or will go off after about 5 if I use the indicators. Sometimes it stays in no matter what. I have no problem with starting and mechanically everything seems fine. Apart from ...

are the new ones 55/60watt?

Yeah, that's what I meant. Not sure on the wattage as I've thrown them away now. I'll upgrade the circuit at a later date with a tutorial I found here using relays and stuff.

Ahh, I will do this. I assume some signs of scorching would be needed?

Thanks

Okay, I think I've been a little silly in trying to upgrade my headlights from the standard to hi intensity blue tinted lamps. I bought them off of ebay, fitted them and subsequently one blew as I turned them on for the 1st time. I have never had them working. As the lamps were only a fiver I quickl...

I had the same problem with exactly the same van (1.6D CS). Turned out it was the battery buy I tried everything like the alternator, tensions on the belts etc. Turned out to be all those things plus connections. I did make sure I had a heavy duty battery though. Hope thing are getting better with i...

Batteries have a life of 5 years, how old was your second hand one?

Unknown Kev, but my pocket agreed and it did the job.

It was the battery in the end, I picked up a good one for £30 from the local breakers yard.

Thanks all!

Presumably mounted in the engine bay on a Diesel? the battery is higher capacity than the ones quoted for a petrol T25...here is a good example: online with delivery included. http://www.eurocarparts.com/ecp/c/Volkswagen_Transporter_1.6_1988/p/car-parts/car-electrics-and-car-lighting/electrical/car...

I'll ask for one of those then. I didn't know if it was a specific type such as a heavy duty one...what with it being a diesel.

Thanks very much gents, I'll get a new battery as I'm pretty sure thats the problem.

Hi all, After a baltic winter where the van was stood for a couple of months, I came to start it and there was nothing. I guessed that the battery was flat so I jump started it which worked, and I took it for a good run to charge it through the alternator. The day after the same problem. It's fine f...

Hi all yet another problem :( discovered an oil leak, ist that bad in respects to amount of oil but certainly enough to want to get it sorted if i can. http://i1083.photobucket.com/albums/j398/Zoltan_Papp/oilleak004.jpg http://i1083.photobucket.com/albums/j398/Zoltan_Papp/oilleak002.jpg I have put ...
