Just to update that after a bit of a challenging but calm discussion () they are now honouring the deal we had made and are replacing the cambelt and water pump Thanks for everyone’s input on this, which has been really helpful and a great support!

I think it’s something to do with the sprockets and they are not changed for a service.

Finally. @Loz posted the official VW service schedule (no time limit) on this thread 5 years ago. Post in thread 'Cambelt + Water Pump Replacement - Official guidance' Cambelt + Water Pump Replacement - Official guidance

Unless the belt is contaminated/damaged its often pulley failure that causes the belt to break, the idler pullies or tensioner bearings can dry out or fail and they only have to run a tiny bit out of alignment to wreck the cambelt.

I would speak to your local VW stealers.

No just the crank seal.

I can get the extended warranty but the motor needs a few things sorted. Water pump/cambelt etc. My question is, can I get those things replaced anywhere I want or does VW have to do the fix and do the parts have to be VW own? I can't see anything in the documents that says you can't have a...

Hi, I'm Glenn, from Belgium. Bought our first T6 a while ago (non runner). Had a few t4's and still have a few t5's. This T6 was cheap with a cambelt failure, so thats the new project.

Now the cam belt interval has extended I wonder if coolant change needs to be considered, as typically, it was done with the pump/cambelt.

so it looks as if the aux belt has taken out the Cambelt ands knackered the engine! any idea what sort of money im looking at? is it worth going for a bare engine and swapping over the ancillaries? its had a new clutch, dual mass, alternator, water pump in the last 18 months! any advice...

Yes exactly, the garage is liable, not the mechanics, they should have a look at the camper again if they value their reputation. My cambelt and water pump were changed before I took possession of my van, but nothing else was done, sometimes I wonder if they see a woman coming and try it on...

Thanks @DXX that's really helpful, I will dig out the invoices and get it checked out

It's now on Ebay and FB for £27950 so now reduced on here..just had oil service this morning. I think that a fair asking price considering its condition, full service history, recent cambelt service and low mileage

Well some good news for a change, just rang VW Peterborough as my cambelt is due to be changed (4years) to be told it is not required as VW now state cambelts are only required to be changed at 140000 miles!….double and triple checked and the service desk stated some dealers are still changing...

...Its a 2016 T6. CAAB engine Run like a dream since I bought it, never failed an MOT (coz I know how to prep for an MOT)... Recently my pals cambelt went pop...so I thought I would get mine done as im at 100k and ought to have done it by now. chap I've know for 20 years who's an ex VAG engine...

Took mine in for annual service today and they confirmed that there is no longer any date (i.e. 4 years) for the cambelt service, Result ! On the down side current mileage is 38,7k and the DSG service should be at 38k so getting that done whilst its in, bummer....

...range) changed their cam belts unnecessarily due to VAG UK guidelines, and wasted £100s? 2) We were also recommended to change the water pump after 4 years as it probably would not last until the 8 year cambelt change. What is the failure rate of the water pump (and did we waste even more cash)?

Full service annual every 6k miles and cambelt at 4 years (40k) so looking that way fingers crossed
