Hi Just found this site this morning,I have a T4 transporter 1997 2.5 petrol Manual.I bought it four years ago and have had no problems, I recently had a full service five weeks ago. My problem is it will not start. It will run for about five seconds then cut out, and will only do this when engine is cold, it seems like it is starved of petrol although I can smell petrol if I keep turning the engine over, I can also hear the fuel pump run when I turn on the ignition on.any ideas of what the problem could be ? also like to add that my wife towed me home in her little Subaru wagon which was an experience, and the van is now sitting in my front yard. Cheers Rob

Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled
After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.
Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before.
We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,
