Hi I own a 1996 VW Transporter 1.9td. The alternator has recently been replaced. The problem is that when it is started the battery light stays on and the oil warning light flashes. This does go away if the van is restarted or, when left to run, a click is heard then the lights stop flashing. Is this a relay problem? Thanks. Alex

You will see the bolts holding the alternator in place. In most cases no more than three to remove. Before starting the replacment disconnect battery.............hope this help and good luck.....Please rate this.

Hi there,
I have just had my T4 2.4 cambelt and water pump done but the van does not run right unless the choke is out any ideas?
Many thanks
Mark

You've probably solved this by now, but just in case... it's your particulates filter clogging up and needs 'regeneration' by VW techs. They take it on the road and with the aid of a laptop on the pax seat, inject fuel into particulates filter and 'burn it out' it'll cost you 200 quid at a vw dealer.

need to check the main wires try putting a jump lead on the pos battery and then to strter to to see if it turns over if does then some thing wrong with wiring

have the battery and alternator tested,could be the alternator is not charging.

Yes it is your imobilizer.Have it bypassed by an auto electrition.

Hi,

Either 90A or 120A, I have found both of these fitted to 2.5L T4's.
I recently upgraded my 90A up to 120A with no problems.

Cheers Trev.

Hi nick. I have a T5 04 model and recently had the same problem. i was told it was a blown turbo so i had a friend look at it and turbo was fine. got vw to run a diagnostics and it had a broken wire running from the charge pressure meter. replaced for 9 euro. 3 weeks later same problem and it turned out to be a loose plug on the air mass meter. now its perfect again. apparently what happens is that if the engin management is getting a wrong reading from the pressure meter it limits the van to 40 horse power for fear of blowing the engine. whenever i switched the van off and back on the problem would fix itself but as time went on it got worse until complete failure. the wire is located under the coolant resivoir. dont know exactly where though. email me on [email protected] if you need to know more. if it does turn out to be the turbo (which i doubt) then there is a website called CRTurbos that seem to be the cheapest around. but i seen another forum where the turbos were replaced and the problem remained. I suggest first look at the charge pressure meter.

Your alternator must be defective, that is what turns on the light. Replace the alternator.

Yes, by connecting the charger the wrong way round you have damaged the rectifier in the alternator, now needs a replacement
