    Cambelt Disaster!

    ...it, the van (T6 2016) made a funny noise, went into limp mode, then wouldn't start again after she'd stopped. To cut a long story short the cambelt had lost a tooth or two and slipped, only cost just shy of £3,000 to put it right :mad: I bought the van 2nd hand at the beginning of 2020 and...

    140PS. Oil Leak?

    ...camper today. It's done 115K miles and 2 mots ago there was an advisory for an oil leak but not excessive. Owner said it was sorted when cambelt changed but looks like cambelt was done before the mot with the advisory. I have had a look under front of van and looks like there is definitely...

    Service schedule - esp coolant

    Thanks @DXX, I wasn't suggesting it's essential at 4 years but rather that it would get done along with the cambelt and water pump schedule

    Warranty refusal: crankshaft oil seal failure

    ...other associated parts. Oil leaks aren't covered under All In Warranty The cheeky buggers even suggested they can save me money by having cambelt and water pump done at same time. To quote Cambelt & Water Pump recommended due to age of vehicle. However, Volkswagen advise replacement of...

    Finding independent engineer

    Thanks for your reply. The dealer only said he’d change the water pump and cambelt - at that time I wasn’t aware of the kit so didn’t know I needed to be more specific. (Steep learning curve regarding this!) As far as they are concerned they have done what they said they would. I know need to...

    Where Have You Been In Your Van Today?

    VW Trafford Park. MOT and minor service with the All-in-one plan, and £570 for cambelt, water pump and tensioner. EDIT: just seen on the video they send through that they priced the Cambelt work at £647 (this might be the price for non All-in-one customers, or where it wasn't booked in...

    Coolant leak - Investigation ideas

    ...:( The specialist I took it to assured me that when they took it apart there was no sign of internal damage, or bore score. They seemed confident it would be fine, but I’m seriously worried now. Difficult to know what garage to trust. They did a full oil change and cambelt water pump with the...

    Main dealers service

    Update if anyone’s interested So apparently they changed the Cambelt change from years to milage recently, it was 5 years but now 120k miles. I went into see them today and they “looked” on the computer and saw it had already had a Cambelt change (so I didn’t need the urgent mechanical...

    Cambelt change

    that's worth checking, although imagine the cambelt set up is similar if not identical

    Cambelt change

    There are horror stories about cambelt failures would be interesting to know the statistics regarding mileage and age of failures. The 4yr replacement seems ludicrous especially with low mileage as the belt is admittedly under tension but it is in its own micro environment away from uv and...

    Review: AutoTech Tuning (ECU & DSG remap, EGR blank and Cambelt change)

    ...EGR pipe. I'm sure the fumes were giving me headaches every-time I drove it, so I decided to get it fixed asap. On top of that it was due a Cambelt change so I decided to get it changed at the same time. A friend recommended Fred at Autotech Tuning in Weston-super-Mare so I gave him a call...

    Timing belt change

    Really, mine is in now and quoted nearly £600 for just the rear. Had the cambelt and water pump done in July for £800 at 65,000 miles and 4.5 years.

    Intermittent Long Crank (randomly once/twice a day)

    Would be useful to know what engine - there are more than 20 different ones hardwarewise? What's the engine code - on configuration sticker under dash by steering column? What's the mileage? How old is the van - what model year?

    Cambelt change

    ...Save me trawling though 100s of threads. Just booked my T6 2018 T30 150 TDI Highline in for a major service and MOT. They asked if I wanted a cambelt change as its 4 years (as recommended by VW) but also asked if it was high mileage or not and therefore my choice. I've declined at present as...
