Welcome back all,
In this weeks video I complete a job on the T4 Camper van, that I've been patiently waiting to tick off the list. I carry out a full service, draining the old oil and replacing the oil, air, pollen & fuel filters, along with replacing the juddery wiper blades too! I completed the full service in very cold temperatures but luckily for me the job went smoothly and I hope the video helps others wanting to service their Volkswagen T4.
Another maintenance job that I'll be tackling soon is a cam belt replacement, as I have no proof when it was last changed and for peace of mind I'll be changing out the belt very soon.

Top tip, when you tke the filter off, put a placcy bag over your hand inside out, grab the fuel fitler, pull the bag up atound the filter and then undo the filter. Hey presto, the bag catches the oil. Baaaboooom.

Great video Mitch , The T4 is certainly proving itself to be a decent buy it’s in better condition than some vans half its age!

Cheers Nick! It’s not a bad van, I’m looking forward to progressing and making it reliable camper for years to come 😁

I had no timing belt receipt amongst the load of receipts I got with my car so had it done, I needed that peace of mind and it only cost £220 for my Panda for belt, pump and tensioner.....far cheaper than an engine. This T4 is a cracking motor, you and Lauren will get years of use from it.
@Mk2Mitch 6 ай бұрын
That’s great value for money at only £220 to get your cambelt replaced! Thank you, we are really enjoying ownership so far 😁

@@Mk2Mitch I tell you what Mitch, Panda's I'll admit are a bland to look at car but I've had it 3 years, put 28k on it and it's only broke down once, a £7 earth strap of all things. I'm so pleased I went with my gut feeling about them because they're a good little runaround and will hold their own on the motorway, do great mpg and cheap to run, being a 1.2.

Great video, on my own car & van I always pour 100ml of new oil in while the sump bungs out, cleans out any old oil in galleries & bottom of the sump 👍🏻 might aswell do the crank seal when you do the cam belt pal
@Mk2Mitch 6 ай бұрын
Not a bad idea! Yes of course I’ll be doing the crank seal whilst it’s all stripped down 👍🏻

@Mk2Mitch That would mean a drain down again which won't hurt the old girl.

Hi mate love your channel, just a bit of advice if you only hand tighten the oil filter ..i did the same on my t4 and it started to leak after a week or so and i didn't notice at first cos of the under tray.ended up giving it an extra tweek with the socket. Best wishes and keep the vids coming 😊

Hi pal, thank you for the advice! I will check it’s not leaking and nip it up slightly if it is 😎

Can’t say you don’t look after your cars Mitch and I’m sure it was well worth it . I couldnt believe the size and weight of that under tray ! If you leave that off you’ll get another 10 mpg 🤣🤣 nice job mate 👍
@Mk2Mitch 6 ай бұрын
Cheers mate, honestly the under tray is a beast! Your right though I would gain some mpg 🤣🤣

I had my hand over my eyes when you were undoing the sump plug the wrong way….I did exactly the same thing on my 1.9 tdi Caddy a few months ago and stripped the threads. I ended up replacing the sump as it was pretty cheap. I won’t make that mistake again!

It’s always a hard one when your under a car working out leftie loosie righty righty 🤣
@terryteed1903 Ай бұрын
@Mk2Mitch some times, it's good to slightly tighten the plug then undo it, same with rusty nuts, same with helping to not cross thread a bolt, marry it up by lefty loosing till it seats , then tighten. Tricks learned from my Engineer Father .

When are you doing a wrap with a huge MK2 MITCH logo? 🤩 I don't know where you find the time to go to work, service and refurb the VW, restore the Escort, keep the Fiesta's on the road, go to all these auctions, edit and upload these video's and keep the missus happy. Keep up the great content my friend. ✌

I’d love to! Been thinking about a big rear window sticker 🤔 Life certainly is very busy but somehow I’m juggling it at the moment, I may go part time with the day job some day and that would free up more some time to spend with Lauren/family etc & make more videos!! 😎

Hi, these are great vans but suffer from rust issues. If you look into buying one, make sure it’s had the welding done or is a clean example!
