    Brake wear sensor

    Can anyone tell me which wire , red or yellow goes to what terminal on the new plug I've bought . 1 & 2, is marked on the plug. Looking at how it works does it make a difference it makes a continuous circuit when pads are worn.

    Hi All Am after a bit of advice/experience please! 2018 T6, 48500 miles. It’s juddering a bit when braking from higher speeds, not when <20mph ish to stop, probably more like >40mph to stop. Spoke to my independent garage, who I trust, he’ll have a look but suggested brake discs could be...

    Squeaking from rear when reversing

    Afternoon all, So my 19 plate T6 has suddenly developed what can only be described as a loud creaking/squeaking from the rear end when reversing (at low speeds). Has anybody suffered with this before and if so found out what the cause was? Any help greatly appreciated as always! Fintank

    Squeal/squeak on accelerating after a long downhill run

    As the title. This has been happening for a few months & first became noticeable when we were skiing in the Alps. After a long downhill run with little braking or acceleration, I get a squeal on first acceleration at the bottom of the hill when we hit the flat. It sounds like a water pump/dry...

    T32 and Minimum Wheel Size

    I bought some genuine VW 16” wheels and tyres (brand new with delivery miles only) for my 2016 T32 LWB T6 as a cheaper alternative to four new tyres and to give me the opportunity to get my aftermarket alloys refurbished. The wheels came off a new van, not sure what. They don’t fit. The front...

    Intermittent brake pedal travel

    Occasionally, when I gently depress the brake pedal I get nothing! Normal braking is ok but I've got no idea anymore where the bite point is. Had the garage renew and bleed the brake fluid, pads have plenty of meat etc. I'm thinking it's electrical only because of its random failure but I don't...

    T6.1 (tailgate) brake light wiring diagram

    Hi everyone. My first post I hope I don’t make and faux pas. I bought some black led lights to replace the red reflectors on the bumper of my t6.1 (tailgate) from eBay. They seem very simple but obviously no instructions when they arrived. They replace the reflectors with lights that you can...

    Brake pedal noise?

    Good morning. This is possibly a daft question. I've just noticed that when I press the brake pedal I can hear a sound like a bike pump blowing a tyre up. And it continues until the pedal is solid, but the pedal slowly depresses if I keep pressure on. Is this normal? TIA.
