This is gonna be a long one so buckle yourself in. I’m new to the transporter lifestyle. I’ve always wanted one and I managed to buy myself a 6.1, T 32, CXEC biTDI, LWB, DSG, LEDs used for £26k last month from a VW franchise in the UK. I have been looking for a long time for a Van and when this...

Phoned my preferred VW garage to have my infotainment screen booked in for replacement under warranty. The next appointment I could get was November and that is just for a diagnostic. Not sure a diagnostic is required to see that a touch screen isn’t working. Is this kind of wait time normal or...

Hi We need to get the first service booked for our 6.1 and I’d be grateful if folk can give recent feedback on their experience with the VW Van Centers in Manchester or Sheffield? We’re mid-way between them and so they’re both equally easy/difficult to reach. FWIW my past experience of...

Hello all :) , I have a 2020 VW Crafter CR35 MWB Trendline, engine code DAUA, covered ~27K miles from new by me. I have found an oil leak occuring in the area of the cylinder head cover. Due to the charge air cooler being on top of the engine, I can't assess if the oil leak is from injector...

Hi guys , relatively new to the Vdub scene . Bought a 67 reg 204 bi turbo from a Vw subsidiary in October, already had the egr cooler replaced but now worry she’s drinking to much oil . Should I go to an Independent specialist or Main VW dealer for tests ? I’m based near North Birmingham...

I taken the van to a dealer to have the tailgate converted to power operation, but it only works some of the time, I been back to them three time and failed to sort this problem out, they say that it works ok with them, they changed the control panel and fitted different brackets to where the...

Hi. Hopefully an easy question to answer. I’ve just purchased a 6.1 and it was already ply lined by VW. Does anyone know how VW apply the floor ply and will it be a bugger to lift up? Many thanks

Hi all - quickly sharing my story here hoping for some insights from people more in the know while I ponder what my next steps need to be (and also to help clear my head). I purchased a T6.1 direct from a dealer via the approved used program at the end of last week. No owners, ex-demonstrator...

Recently had a MOT and service as the first part of my two year extended warranty for my T6 18 plate. Before it went in it was having the stability control, ABS and tyre pressures come on intermittently but wasn't there for the MOT and wasn't there a month beforehand. Anyway, it passed and was...

Some advice and thoughts needed please. My T32 LWB Kombi is coming up to one year old. I bought it new from Heritage in Bristol and was massively underwhelmed by the buying experience with them. I have since heard lots of negatives about their aftercare and service. Should I stick with a main...

Hi, This is just for information as there seem to be quite a few threads asking the same questions about getting spare key/fobs for T6. The following relates to T6.1 from 22 onwards. I don't know if it relates to older vehicles but if you let me know I'll update the post. To get a new (spare)...

Evening all, Took the van in to VW for it’s test today (passed no issues ) but several things were brought up on a complimentary vehicle health check that just didn’t seem right when I questioned them on the service desk! Are the dealers trying it on with me and looking for easy money? List...

Has anyone else had a problem with their Door Control Unit Defective. I'have had this on and off for the past two years. The Birmingham Van Centre replace this under warranty 21/12/2023 and then 12 days later I get the same message and error. It has just fallen out of the 3 year warranty so they...

Hi All Does anyone have any positive views on the captioned?? I booked my T6 in to have front parking sensors installed only to be told when I took the vehicle in that they do not retrofit!!!! So I am now exploring getting the kit from Poland which has the new module required and getting it...

Hi all, just got my van back from the dealers after my second, free service and apparently I need , urgently new wipers. Wouldn't mind but I replaced them 2 weeks ago with Bosch ones. Also they did me a huge favour by not charging me extra for the service as they said I should have only had an...
