My problem was down to a defunct Temp Sensor :| Less than a tenner and it's all sorted now :) Hello Bond- ive just had a hot start problem tonight on my 1.9 injection DH van. when you say temp sensor, do you mean the sensor just to the left of the one that supplies the dash needle reading? (also on...

There are 2 brackets at the bottom of the rad that hold it in place

It's not too bad of a job to replace, as i've done mine recently and it will come out without jacking the vehicle up

Sean

Thanks again all

Thanks all

Exactly what I wanted to hear, or not, if you know what I mean

Hi Photo's of some typical rust showing on my van http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e385/RSVSean/VW%20T25/DSCI0003.jpg http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e385/RSVSean/VW%20T25/DSCI0014.jpg So do you reckon these would be an easy fix with some vactan, or is going to need more serious work Thanks Sean

Well I stopped overnight in ASDA at cribbs causeway, last year on the way to Glasto

Yeah, there were a couple of boy racers for a short time, but they buggered off soon enough and we had a good nights kip with no hassles

Wouldn't hesitate to stop there again

My hot starting problem was down to a defunct temp coolant sensor, but mine is an FI model

Sean

All sorted now and just finished bleeding it

Not as hard or difficult a job as I initially thought

Sean

Thanks all for the replies and links

Rad is out and is indeed knackered. Fins missing and holed in the bottom R/H corner

Going to source a replacement tomorrow

Sean

Thanks James

Will find out when the Rad's out

Noticed that GSF list the same Rad for several models http://secure.gsfcarparts.com/shop/results.asp, but Wiki states there are two types

Anyone clarify this

Need some help please Been out tonight to fill up (LPG). No problems on the way up to the station, but on the way back it starts to play up. Was like someone turning a fuel switch on and off, power then none, power then none. Thought it might have been some dodgy LPG, so switched to petrol. Ran a bi...

With a torque loading of 500Nm's, and a wacking big split pin, it shouldn't work loose at all

As I have learnt, if it does get loose, then there is an underlying problem that needs sorting

With the distance you are travelling, get the bearings replaced

Just failed MOT for knacked bearing

Thought I'd be lucky to getaway with it

My problem was down to a defunct Temp Sensor

Less than a tenner and it's all sorted now

Still running with the Idle Air Control valve disconnected, but doesn't appear to be causing me any problems like this

Well had a real shock when I jacked it up

Wheel nuts where tight but hub was loose

Checked everything out and no damage done, so retightened hub nut and all is well

Thanks again for the replies
