I understand that’s because as part of the MoT test they will run the engine at high revs for a couple of minutes when checking emissions. They don’t really want to risk a cambelt breaking and destroying the engine.

Open to reasonable offers, van booked in for cambelt and waterpump and full service in March. No issues with this van.

Hi Pauly I used Volkscraft in the end really good to talk with about my van needs and future work (cambelt etc) only a simple service but I’ll use them again

I was booking a cambelt change on my 65 plate T6.1 kombi and also told by VW it doesn't need changing for 130,000 miles no time limit. I wanted it done anyway as last changed in June 2020 at 57,000 miles, now at 89,000. Felt relieved today after technician reported a broken tooth, I now realise...

...independent engineer near Bolton Le Sands to check a T5 2015 Leisuredrive Vivante which I’m in the process of buying but after changing the cambelt and water pump the pulley failed so has now been replaced as well. They did not replace the pulley or tensioner when replacing the cambelt and...

No, it's not every 4 years anymore, it's 140K miles and no time limit. https://www.t6forum.com/threads/cambelt-water-pump-replacement-official-guidance.16418/page-36 Post 713.

Took the 4 year old Bus in for a service, MOT, cambelt & waterpump at the local van centre. Wish me luck...

That is big debate discussed in this long thread: https://www.t6forum.com/threads/cambelt-water-pump-replacement-official-guidance.16418/

...conversion with a business pack. The engine is a steady trundler with fairly low mpg (spec in the first pic below). The can has done 90k with cambelt and pump replaced at 80k. There are others out there a bit older which have more power AND better mpg. I appreciate that the second picture...

Thanks - yes got the work done - including the new cambelt $$$!

Thank you, the plan look good, but . There is no cover for damage for premature cambelt failure.

Have you asked them? The cost of coolant and pump is nowhere near £357. Vacuum filling of coolant can start while the rest is being re-assembled so minimal extra time, maybe 30 minutes. It’s just a means of subsidising a fancy showroom and staff to provide smiles with coffee.

Yes. Pump change makes sense same time as cambelt due to economical reasons although if you want to save up a bit you can change the pump every second time. They work okay for 200k. The alternator belt makes sense to change same time too but you will find that the tensioner, belt and additional...

Hi all, 2018 highline SWB less than 40k miles, Euro 6, t6 diesel, manual, diesel heater, 60 liters tank, cambelt changed and all documents in order. Is 37 k a good price?

Maybe mine requires cheaper parts? This is the screenshot from VWCV website. For ref my van is a 2018 102bhp shuttle.

Just had mine done 4 years old 22k. I have the all in and they did it for free. Had cambelt and water pump changed at same time and they charged me £480. Quite happy with that for a main dealer tbf.

Yes@Drive Wayne I'm already seeing this affect. Booked in to do cambelt and water pump based on age as only 43K on it.
