Thanks for the video Nathan. Great to see you back on the T5 after the hold ups and let downs you endured. Surprising just how good the original engine block was considering its high mileage. Looking forward to the next one 👍

Love pd content ,and love the channel ohh yaa 36:14

Brilliant one man very informative and funny quality. As one whom became bitten buy the VW T Whatever and I may be accused of being someone who is going to buy one.

boys back!

Nice one! On it!

If it turns out anything like the caddy its gonna look great 👍

Had a t5 front end off, had the same random 11mm either side too

Great vid mate, Always looking out for the next one. just confused why your channel hasn't rocketed too 100k subs😞

Great video, no fuss, just straight to it. Good work. If the headlights are still going I could do with them for my 54 plate caravelle😊

Finally. 🎉😮

This van will look nice when it's done especially after doing the caddy.

Looking great bought t5 t28 2 years ago the 1.9 88 bhp and was thinking same about turbo dont wana blow it but would love a little more pfttt and dont want to break a gearbox i no the engines are decent solooking forward to what turbo you go with great project mate

I've just come across your great videos and now following your channel. This was because I'm weighing up a BLS to ASZ engine swap to a Caddy van. Really glad I did, because from what you say, only an Alhambra and Fabia ASZ engine will fit the Caddy mainly because of the oil filter style on the likes of the Golf MK4 sticking out too far as you said. Is that the only two ASZ engines that can be used in the conversion please and if also going for the 6 speed box conversion too, is the associated Alhambra and Fabia gearbox and gear selector & cables etc also the correct parts to be used?

Brilliant vid as ususl

Happy to see this progressing mate. Thought we’d lost you to the Fisherthems for good 😂

Perfect timing for your T5 project , I’m in the middle of stripping my head off my T5 1.9tdi with exactly the same problem , system pressurising !. First time I’ve done a head gasket since a ford cross flow engine 30 odd years ago ! , Have learnt so much from your video , was going to get my head skimmed but exhaust valves had play , camshaft is worn , and feel a little out of my depth with stripping it down so think I’m going to buy a new ready to go head , expensive but could do with getting the van back on the road , like the idea of copying what your doing by putting in a better engine , but maybe that a project for another time . I want to clean up my engine bay like you have , what do you spray on before jet washing ? I’ve got so much crud on mine too ! Looking forward to the next video

Awesome video! Just picked up a transporter myself with what appears to be headgasket dramas, oil and coolant mixed everywhere and pressuried coolant. My question, you mention not being able to use the Mk4 engine because of the oil filter, Can this not be swapped between engines? I've got two AXR pd100s out of Polo 9n3 and I will more than likely end up swapping one of them into my transporter if it fits... Curious to hear your input on this! Thanks

cracking video pal just about to start doing mine, what parts did you use off the original t5 engine?

Great job on the videos, big fan! can you tell me which websites you use to see if parts number fit the T5? cheers!

Is it worth leaving the pd130 turbo on the asz or should we put on the axb turbo off the old engine would it not make much difference?

Good day do you still have the bumper and headlights for the t5 by any chance please

Could you not use the filter housing from the t5 block? Or could you use a golf engine and get the fabia housing..... Also could swap the engine and just run the stock inlet and injectors? Did that many moons ago on a mk5 bxe to ajm swap.... Just got myself a t5 project and following with baited breath

Fantastic video. That Transporter is going to be a dream to drive after you've finished. Have you used Lanoguard instead of waxoil? It's brilliant. 👍

Takk!

Good ✌️🇲🇦

Could I not use my oil filter housing off the t5 axb engine to put on the mk4 golf asz engine? Thanks for the video

Actually the pouring rain was quite nice

Turbo technics in Northampton for a turbo 😉

Ah yeah

Just acquired a t5 on an 04 plate interested in your project . If you want rid of bumper be glad to take it off you mine is all red but was thinking of putting a black one on if you would like some money for it let me know many thanks Neil

Great video is the bumper gone!

Top work as always nathan Looking good , Are you keeping the van white ,or repainting it 🤔

Hello mate, have those headlights gone?

If you have a skim how do you work out how many notches you need in the new head gasket ? Looking good btw

I’ve just done this conversation in my caddy and oil filter hiding hitting fan like you’ve mentioned , I should have done my research , do you know if there is a way round this ? Thanks

So I will keep it till later when my takeaway arrives and watch it

Hi I'm in Australia and looking at buying a 2015 VW 2.0litre Diesel High Top (which is rare to find) and converting to a Campervan. Just wanted to ask can you replace the T5 engine with a younger T6 engine . The vehicle has 400,000 on the clock and looking to inspect today.

good afternoon i need some help i have a vw t5 that has a pd 100 engine and i don't have a gearbox... i can't even get a gearbox which gearbox i can adapt is there any compatibility the van is from 2004

King man! I wondering how long did it take to remove the engine out? Days? And is it the same thing to take out a 2.0 bitdi? Greetings from Sweden

I've actually been after a bumper for a couple of weeks now as mine is cracked at the bottom . Where abouts are you based ?

👍

Do you need a pair of standard T5.1 headlights?

Hi mate sorry but quick one have a 2.5 tdi t5 can I convert in to 1.9 many thanks in advance cheers

If the bumper is still gong, let me know as mine as in awful condition.

I have a Vw 2010 transporter T35 140 TDI 1968 CC How much this van is worth does anyone know? It had a brand new reconditioned engine from Germany New cylinder head new turbo, after one year later One morning stopped working after one minute driving

@DTETV if you come to sell this, give me first dibs

D

11mm is an Italian size….

fuck me im this far behind 😂😂😂😂😂

I’m on doing my engine in my bora pd130 if you need any other parts mate give me a message you can have them for free

id love to throw my engine from my fabia asz 04 plate fabia genuine 117k

Can these engines be put into a t6 transporter, ive a 2014 t6 with engine code CAAB. Fortunes and seem to be soft as shite. Any help appreciated 🙏 Great channel btw new subscriber.

Don't shoot me, but I'm sure I read that the oil coolers have a known issue causing pressurisation and overheating. Might be a different lump, but rings a bell.
