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)?
Did mine the other day tricky to get too , it’s near the oil filler deep inside near top of cambelt casing, your see a thick wiring loom, with one connector coming off it, its a tricky to remove it
Hi and welcome. Plenty of info here. General advise is to buy only full service history T6. Check dsg oil has been replaced every 38k miles, cambelt after 4 years ( even though now the rule for cambelt has changed). Serviced every 10k miles better than 20k miles. Good luck

Hi everyone. I have a 2017 caravelle executive that has broken down.
Did any of you ever had to get his Caravelle (or t6) engine replaced and how much did you have to pay for? Mine had internal damage due to camber belt parts broken and damaging the engine and I have been quoted two very...
Hi all, I’m getting confused with different messages from different sources! I’ve had my T6 since new (16 plate) and now have done 59,000 miles, question is…when do I need to change my timing belt/cambelt? HELP!!!
Just had a lot of work done and checked fluid level this morning and it’s low.
Would it be ok to top up this amount with deionised water?cambelt and pump just done can’t see a leak so assuming just air.
Just didn’t want to dilute it to much and of course the garage is closed today.
...it’s a BRR. I’ve tried finding a coolant diagram to try and find flow patterns also no success. Can you recommend anywhere to look? I’m toying of booking in for a water pump and cambelt but don’t want to waste £££s if it’s a catastrophic issue that’s going to result in a new engine or something.
£785 inc vat for Cambelt, Aux belt and DSG oil and filter change.. soooo much cheaper than the VW main stealers.. shout out to Denbury Diesel’s Newton Abbot.
I’m on 130k now, oil change with flush every 10k by myself and fingers crossed for the next 100k
...costs (including insurance) plus 'campervanning' costs, approx 55 nights per year /6k miles, all UK, was £240 per month in 2022.
Edited to say, we don't eat out or drink much, and haven't included National Trust, English Heritage membership.
Also haven't budgeted for Cambelt, that was in 2023.
