The joys of owning a T4! I had a 1.9td with starting issues (when I first bought it). Changed the plugs, re-built the starter motor every 1.5yrs (so that never cost me any more then new brushes), and got a good battery. *Ensure* the starter's earth cables are good too. They'll be a huge detriment if worn and brittle. I upgraded my earths and added an additional 30amp cable.

thx, now i saw on your video that there is a wire from cilinder 3 and 4 and from 4 to 5. just replaced 4 from 5 glowplugs.. the 5th near the timing belt i measured the ohms and seems to be good. the 4th is doable yourself from above, ring spanner 8 from top bit by bit takes a while then with spanner 12 bit.. turn spanner bit turn spanner.. and so on. to replace i used magnet to aim it in place wiggle in hand turn it as far as possible then the long spanner thingy reverse. same with the 8mm bolt.. your van starded ( not start ) exacly the same as mine so i guess the problem is solved now. Tip of using startpilot or break cleaner or whatever... ( same not starting as yours ) it turns over fast that strugles.. thats to much gas no oxigan.. keep the starter fluid i bit further away from the intake so it mixex more and it will work to start with broken glow plugs. awsome video thx i hope i tributed a bit for other people.

I did all this to mine n still had problems ended up changing the power lead from the glow plug rail to thicker wire as it gets brittle over time also the big relay on fuse board n no more issues. Bear in mind as it really does make a difference. Mine will cold start with just over 9 volts in battery. Cheers je.

I had almost identical problem with starting, new glow plugs, battery, starter motor, went through a few mechanics, turns out that when i put a new fuel filter on i cured the problem, seems it hadnt been changed when serviced as was rusted in!

Often when the vag using these starters wont crank or push in the starter, only klick. then the positive wire from the small starter push motor to the start crankmotor is corroded. just hotwire it with a spanner or anything and change the wire. i dont think your starter was bad, most likely a negative connection failure

Did you use the cold start advance lever when trying it originally? I have a t4 a couple of years older than yours with a 1.9 td engine. If cold it generally requires the advance lever.

@@JoelsStuff Yeah it was probably the underpowered battery , every diesel Ive ever had used a 90 Ah battery.
