Hi all,
first post on here after searching the net for help with my vw transporter. im hoping someone out there will possibly be able to help me out with a problem i have!?
i have owned the L reg transporter for 4 months now after deciding to get one to make regular fishing trips with my 6yr old son more fun! decked all the back out and fitted carpet and dvd player etc. van has been fantastic and would be lost without it, which is where we are now :1zhelp:
has been a perfect starter until yesterday when it just turned over and over without firing, did this about 5-6 times and then fired instanly as normal on the next go. started perfect again after that for rest of day. however, same trouble again this afternoon when i tried to start it to pick up my boy, it just turned over and over, tried for ages but its a no-go!
i do not know too much about diesel engines so would love to hear any ideas you have as i really need to get it going and do not really have the money to take it to a garage :( it is the 2.5 diesel (5cyl) engine, and i have checked the fuel filter and that has diesel running out when undone so im presuming its ok? also it smells of diesel when turning over. glow plug light comes on as normal so think they are ok? so now im at a loss, and would appreciate any help :beerchug:
thanks in advance and im off to search for any more mods i can carry out once it works again!!
