coolant

Hi all. As well as my VW T6, also have a 2011 VW Polo TDI which I've kept as a useful little run around. Recently, I had a coolant warning flash up. As there isn't a temperature gauge on the Polo 6R, and I have AA breakdown with my bank account, I decided to call the AA out to look over it. The...

Need to top up coolant on T6.1. Local garage and Tesco only sell Prestone, the container information states that its suitable for all engines, whether petrol or diesel. Is it ok to use?

I've owned a couple of VW's and Audi's and they all got up to 90 degrees temperature and stay at that for the duration of journeys. On my 2019 T6.1 Kombi it never gets to 90 degrees but seems to fluctuate below it and takes a long time to get up even near 90 - usually staying at 70 degrees...

Hi everyone, I Noticed that the cylinder head coolant sensor has strange readings compared to the rest. Monitoring it today the coolant sensors are reading normal and the cylinder sensor is actually decreasing and hovering around 28 degrees when engine is up to temperature. I’m assuming...

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.

Evening all, I seem to be chasing a bit of an issue on my van. Last week I had exhaust gas temperature sensor Bank 1, Sensor 2 showing a fault. I have replaced this sensor now and the fault has cleared, but as soon as I replaced it, I am now getting the red coolant warning and 3 beeps on start...

Does anyone know which is the sensor that indicates the temperature on board a t6 2.0 biturbo?

I have just got my van back from my local garage were they spent several days replacing sensors. I was getting high oil temp on gauge and camshaft pos sensor fault on carissa. The van drove about 10 miles before the light lit up again, it cleared and drove back to the garage no problem, does...

Hi all, I have a 69 plate vw transporter and I have the EML on and get the code p218500 coolant temperature sensor 2 circuit high. Can you please confirm there are three sensors? One below the radiator, one in the block (i have changed both) and I think the other near the aux coolant pump. Can...

I’ve recently bought my first Transporter and quickly found myself waist deep in a project. The Transporter in question is a 2017 ex-RAC SWB T32 (with 2017 2.0 tdi CXH engine), which I bought from a car auction site as a non-runner; upon delivery I found several holes in the side of the block...

Just had a service, saw this- is it normal? I haven’t driven it yet at all? Cheers

Had a low coolant level warning this morning. When I looked at the expansion tank it was about 1cm below the minimum mark but the cap was fully unscrewed and just sat on the top of the threads. Van was in for a service a couple of weeks ago but I can't think why they'd have removed it...

Hello everyone. Does anyone know what temperature sensor the OBD2scan is reading from correctly? I am driving a 2017 T6 110kw. I noticed a few months ago that my gauge of my coolant was very slow to warm up and in some cases did not even reach 90. My mechanic told me my thermostat was probably...

My engine coolant dissapeared below the min level if I’m parked on a hill… only when the front of the van is down hill. It’s happened before, topped up with. Plant and was fine, just parked nose down again and it’s gone again?

I have an interesting problem and would appreciate inspiration. My van (2016 Caravelle 204ps, 53k miles) has developed a coolant problem. Symptoms / points known so far from non-invasive investigations: Has alerted no coolant a few times shortly after engine start when still cool During...

Hi all, hopefully someone out there can advise me. I have a 2018 T6 150ps (Tdi) dsg that’s covered around 33k. Few weeks ago had a major service including the cambelt & waterpump for the first time (5 years old). Washing it today and inadvertently took off the oil fill cap, to find a large...
