The Legend is back!

I cant tell you how many of your videos helped me with my mk3 jetta witht the 2.slow engine. Although i no longer have it i still sat through the entire video!

These Vanagon repair videos are great! I’ve been able to keep mine on the road (250,000 miles as of yesterday) thanks to your channel! Glad to see your back!

Great to see you again! Thomas. Great video as always!

Thanks for helping to get and keep, my 91 T3 on the road so far for over a decade.

Welcome back Thomas

Good to see you publishing new videos about VW ,it reminds me of my good times working on the Vanagons.Have a Good week.

Great to see these videos back online. I cannot tell you how many of them I have used to fix and repair my 1995 Eurovan.

So glad to see a new vanagon video, I could watch these all day

Nice and clear diagnosis. It's amazing those ECU's still work after all this time. I must admit I have a couple in the stash but as I went for an aftermarket ECU I should probably sell them will all the other parts.

Thanks for the video. I really appreciate your content and systematic approach to solving problems 😊

Old school diagnostics for old cars :) love it

So the fuel was bleeding into cylinders continuously when key was on, and the fuel pump couldn't keep up. Or did computer cut out the fuel pump when it recognized the injectors were constantly on? Good thing it didn't hydrolock.

Yay! New VW videos from you!

Great troubleshooting and explanation

Nice one! Thanks for the video. Anyone can tell you have a ton of experience.

Well, it's about time Thomas. missing those videos, now let me go see the video. :)

I had the same issue with my vanagon. New ECU was the fix

You are a smart guy. I'm a Vanagon person.

Great video brotha!!!

Waiting for that ECM board repair :P Just some mosfet burnt?

Nice one buddy. I can't believe them vehicles are still around never mind someone that knows how to work on them :)

good video. Keep them coming

20 minutes, well done!

I love my van, best bang for the buck. Maybe I should get one and cut the back off and make it into a mini minivan. Good to see ya. Happy Motoring

Nice job mate

That was an interesting one.. shorted driver keeping injectors on?

Learning from other content creators this is common on Ford Ranger ECUs. Some capacitors die in the ecu. I wonder if this is a similar problem?

Hi. I have crank no start on my new to me ‘91 westy. I put a length of fuel line on the t junction and no fuel came out while cranking. Am I right in suspecting I need to replace the fuel pump? Thanks and love your videos.

Thomas , I need to do a timing belt on my 2004 BEW tdi, what is a good timing tool kit for the cam and crank , and timing belt kit, thanks Eddie

Hi I have a 2001 Jetta aww 1.8t that just stalled and will crank but not run, it will start and run for a few seconds on carb cleaner. I am at a loss. Any insight would be greatly appreciated

I'm having this same issue with my 81 vanagon. Will the diagnostic method be similar?

Troubleshooting a similar problem. Where can I get the led light? And best source for an ECU in case I need one? Thanks!

Hi Thomas, how should I contact you regarding work on a vehicle?

Hey Thomas I've got a 01 Jetta 1.8t 5 speed. I believe the clutch went out on me. But I'm concerned because should I still be able to start the car in gear to move it around? I've done that with other vehicles with bad clutches but this one I can't. The pedal still feels normal. And don't hear any noise in the clutch. The trans shifts through all gears. I even trying starting the car in second gear to move it but it won't engage at all. Is the clutch just completely broken?

Hi again buddy, p0261 p0264 p0267 p0270 p0445 p0037 p0418 p0414 p0141 all these codes have popped up on the reader on my a4 1.8t, if I erase codes the car will start but it still doesn't help me with the underlying issue, is there anything you can recommend, many thanks

MENGA MINT!!!

I looked in the attached diagram for something that I'd noticed relating to injector power (not the signal) on the 1986 Automatic 2.1 - that is the wire that runs from the alternator to the harness along the engine comparment firewall and to one of the engine compartment control boxes I can't recall which. It was a 10 guage very finely stranded wire and on my otherwise reasonly well preserved GL that wire had totally deteriorated, even the silver plated copper wire - it looked as if it has been stressed electrically. I write all this because I was going to ask you about it - as to theories of why that would accur. Hope I'm recalling correctly but I just replaced the original finely stranded silver coated copper wire with the best one I could find and I think I increased it to 8 guage if the original was 10 gauge. You probably have this VW Factory wiring diagram but here it is for your readers: (there are many differences btwn models) www.thesamba.com/vw/archives/manuals/1985_86_wiring_vanagon/1985_86_Vanagon_Wiring_Diagrams.pdf
