Thanks Pal I got him - Like yours maine has got few issues but I will open new topic. I have noticed that MK4 has got better quality (Stronger) interior (seats, plastic, all door handles etc.) , when MK5 seams not be be heavy duty one like MK4. good looking but week not like strong MK4 plastic.

Thanks for reply @spawntohell - how long do you own your mk5 now?

Dear all I decided to upgrade my minivan to the latest model MK5 with Swivel n Go Seats etc still 2.8 CRD as much as I would love to own 3.8 V6 the Road TAX on them is crazy. With the MK4 Diesel I experienced few issues mainly cold start problems, or engine cut out when I was accelerating fast - but I managed to fix them all and car is awesome, but I booth (non runner - engine starting problems) the latest model and its coming today, and just wanted to ask those who owned MK4 before MK5 are there are similar problems that I can came across or is there is less of them and other issues are now involved? The new car shape is more square from the older model, does that affects MPG? Is Gearbox better from MK4? We use our minivan regular for Europe trips . All opinions are welcome.

Not 100% sure about the wire but I think that you should be able to adjust that. But Handbrake shoes have got a small gear on the bottom that you must turn and set it in the right place. Usually I lift the rear of the car (on the beam in the middle) turn the Handbrake gear adjuster until I struggle to turn the wheel with bear hands but still can do it. Then when you pull the leaver in cabin you will get best results. I ended up changing the complete mechanism (shoes, springs etc) only £30 on eBay but at least passed it MOT and is working fine. There is a video on YT of the guy who shows how to access the gear that I'm talking about. You will need short driver and some Oil or WD40. Good Luck

Hard to tell, could be anything - sound like CV Joint to me. Best is to put it on the ramp and inspect it - They do free cheeks now at Kwick Fit, Halfords etc just book in with them and they will direct you in the right way.

I'm really bad with electrical issues, can do mechanics only Don't know about your skills, but it is always worth it to find local electrically minded guy who can have a look at it - I'm sure there is a lot of Lithuanians or Polish guys around you , and they love Voyagers (Just like me) for a return trips to Poland. Other pair of eyes may see what your can't, maybe rat or mouse cut the wire, you never know. Try to replace/clean the indicator/lights/etc shifter... Question: Does your engine is cutting of on the idle or when you accelerate, and trying to build up a speed?

Hi all I'm upgrading my MPV to the latest model so decided that I will list my old baby here before elsewhere.

Most of the repair I did myself apart from the Gearbox rebuild that I paid for £1600 Ok so here is the list of the jobs that I did on the car, all backed up by invoices from Europ Car Parts mainly - New Cambelt & Water pump at 170k miles - Gearbox rebuilder by specialists at 160l miles (Got invoice etc) - New front Shocks and top bushes with bearings - New front Stabilizer bushes and links - New Suspension arms (Wishbones) - New Starter Motor - New Glow plugs - New Rod ends - New Bosch Rail pressure Valve - New Intake pressure sensor (Bosch) - New Alternator pulley (Genuine) - New Power St belt & Aux Belt - New Air-Con Condenser & Dryer - All Four tires in very good condition plus Set of Winter tyres (1,5 old Fulda with Rims) - All recently Balanced Tracked etc. - All Callipers refurbished with new pistons - New pads and discs all round (Bremo) - New Handbrake Line with new Shoes, springs etc (works as it should) - Oil, Fuel, Air Filters changed every 7500miles - 2 sets of keys, manual book, Folder with all invoices. - New rear N/S Bearing Hub with ABS sensor (£150 that was ! ) MOT August 2019 - Has bot a tow bar, roof bars all you need for perfect continental trip.

Really nice to drive, does not pull or shakes when you do 100mph (in Germany) goes as it should - lovely drive. I paid for the car back in 2016 £2600 as it was then spend a small fortune on it but did serve very well, did 10-15 trips to and back from Poland with Kids and never let us down.

Yep I did fit brand new sensor and it did improve first start I'm doing EGR today Thanks Andy

Thanks Andy Yes I did see your video and it was very helpful. I have changed 2 filters in the past 4 weeks. It does not cut off as often as on the old fuel valve but I think that EGR need cleaning.

Hi my engine was recently cutting off on the revs higher than 2.5k 2.8 CRD my return valve was bad and I also changed the sensors that is in the intake 4 pins. It did solve the problem until today, when it cut off again. What Torque should i put on that Valve ? I'm going to clean EGR and inlet from the dirt hopefully it will help.

Check the alternator pulley too

I have completed the task -timing belt kit - new water pump I used one of the black pins for my 2006 CRD 2.8 on the crank behind the starter. And used difrent technic to put the timing belt on from what autoshaman showed on YouTube. Basicly I placed the belt on tensioner first and then I moved up and pushed it in on the top gear. (Much easier) My old belt was full of cracks, so I have changed it just in time, and all other bearings were worned and loud as you would expect after 6 years of constant use. Now engine runs much better. Next job clean EGR

Top man! Thank you so much . Yes I have seen video thanks

Hi guys for this set of tools . Preparing to change the belt and water pump. There is few but not 100% sure what is for what .

Thsts a good idea thanks

It never was so loud. It is not right.

Hi Lads More problems for winter;( When I press brake to switch gear from P to D I hear Click (like a relay) Went back to P and every time I will touch the pedal it will click and ABS light will pop out. After I will switch to D, no clicks and ABS lights after 1-2 miles gone.

change your fuel filter and buy only good quality diesel. Since I have stopped buying Diesel from Murco and use only Shell or ESSO prblem gone.

Hi what model you recommend so that I can download stuff and play it on. ? One that's uses batteries would be ideal

Got all new glow plugs But tell me what Daz is actually trying to show on this video ? I'm I that thick ? I don't get it. Floyd the fuel go faster or not at all ?
