Go Bills!

This ABS Block went out on me while coming down the proverbial mountain road in the middle of nowhere. 1/5 star experience would not recommend. Great Lars videos! Keep em coming.

LOL!! It looks a lot like my place!

Another solid video, Sir. Just straight to the point with everything! We specifically produce LEDs for auto. Can we invite you as a collaborator to do a review? If so,How can we connect with you?

Damn! End of an era! I just bought an Aircooled 2.0 1982 vanagon yesterday! Your videos are a fantastic reference. Cheers 🥂

Easily the Best Looking, Cleanest, Well-kept Air cooled Vanagon i've seen on youtube! I hope the new owner can keep up with the maintenance like you did. Congrats on 500!

Still having trouble trying to post any comments (especially with other YT links) so try searching "Vw Eurovan Steering angle sensor code" and you'll find a video by CoolAirVW RM that gives some good VCDS coding information related to the Steering Angle Sensor.

I like those running boards, also you're Jeep looks sick.

Hey Mr Smith, thanks for the video. I have a question. How do you get the drive axle up through the small area between the frame, trans, and the upper control arm. I have jacked up control arms as far as they will go, but when I finally did get the axle through, the cv joint fell apart. Argh. I might zip tie the CV joint together and cut it after I get it through. Hoping for a slick trick to slide in place. Thanks again.

Where isthis ?

Trying this one more time - the air vent likely does need to come out. In the 1997 van that's where the cruise control module was located, but now CCM is part of the ECU/ECM. Search the web for the eurovan wiki page for cruise control module removal. I've tried to post the link but my comment keeps disappearing.

Hi Mr Smith, I have the same van as Lars, just wanted to say how grateful to you I am for giving me a chance of looking after what I would class as a complicated engine !! Thankyou Did you resolve the Abs problem? Is it not just the wires to the brake calipers? presumably you've checked that.Did Bowen from the UK

A beautiful view 👍

Great video, was looking what valve spring compressor to buy for my VR5.

Nice work man!

4 rotations to line up intermediate sprocket again my friend

Very nice, that will be fun for exploring our area

Nice video, I love it.

Hi, from where vehicle is this spring?

Sir. I told you let it be. You have no idea. Visit a Garage.

Wow - been looking for someone showing how to do this on TH-cam for the last two days. Finally found you video! Thanks! Any gotchas with reattaching the wiring harness when replacing the bumper?

Thank you for making these videos , this is making this job a little easier to get done!

Sir. Play with your Fingers, but not with a car. You are to old. If I take a gearbox out I need less then 20 min without any Jacks.

Sir. Pls. Let it be. Bus a old Jeep, but not a wonderful German Car.

You did a work for nothing Sir. But I think you have time therefor. If the gearbox leaks in this area you have not to open it. Only take a look.

Are both vans both still WBX engines? Good to see these vans out making memories!

i think i'm screwed, my transaxle are both leaking a lot and i guess it wont be cheap at all if you need to take the transmission down

Ferdinand is a Beaut!

Definitely interested in the route you take to solve transmission issues. I’ve read swapping the filter and oil and added trans coolers can help

get VCDS and cable to scan all the codes. zurich wont be able to do it.

I learned most of what i know about VCDS watching ' coolairvw rm ' . check it out. he mentions that 01M trans are very similar to a 01P. waiting for the next video!

if i may, i suggest to change the ATF first, i use maxlife on my jetta no problem, and if you dont have a transmission cooler, i suggest to add one. it fixed my slipping auto in my jetta. Usually cost less than 100. i do that for all my auto trans.

Since its a 2002, if you dont have it, please get rosstech VCDS and a cheap vagcom OBD cable so you can scan the codes properly and do deeper diagnostics. VCDS is also good to find out whats wrong with the ABS and every part that has a ECU !

Where can I find the service manual online for the t4?

new filter looks really dry to me... no leaks!

At one time, My 82 was stalling when driving and trying to down shift or coast with the clutch depressed. My old AFM was sticking somewhere during the sweep and causing the van to die. I bought a rebuilt one and fixed that issue (exposed others). Vacuum leaks would be more consistently stalling I would think...same with ground issues.

I live in fear of screwing up my subie swapped Vanagon engine by hosing it off. The engine compartment needs it. I remain fearful.

Like @lucvanmalderen7064 and @pyronitro, I speculate it's faulty ignition switch. Thanks for sharing this video of your VW Life trials. Best of luck in your troubleshooting! #VWLife #DriveYourBus #JillTheVanagon

Yea my first guess is the ignition switch also. Hope you figure it out soon.

0:09 I have a 1999 EVC. The Eurovan’s ignition switch is notorious for going bad. Maybe this is similar. It’s just like turning off the key while you are driving. I almost got stuck in Flagstaff, AZ on my way back to SoCal. Once I got my van started, I never turned it off, nor did I touch my ignition switch, until I got home. Replacing the ignition switch fixed my problem. Good luck.

Man! Your ride is so quiet and composed over all thise dirt roads. My 88 Westy is nowhere near that smooth. What's the secret?

It’s the only way to clean them. I use a foaming dirt, & engine degreaser then the garden hose. A clean engine gives me a good feeling inside.

Thanks so much for this video, very informative, i am busy with one of these ATM and got the valve rockers/hydraulic lifters mixed up, as i see they are all numbered..do you have any idea of the correct order ?

Go Lars!

I cant find any info on this event. Could you post a link to it?

a home mechanic is also a part time contortionist. hang in there! #thestruggleisreal . good call to remove the alternator.

i wish they made a heatsink case for the gopro. i did read that they have a external battery way to operate. like this th-cam.com/video/xqayVimlv7c/w-d-xo.html

They should move BugOrama to this venue/location!!!
