flat battery

Hello, some of you may have seen my post a while back about how my battery kept dying, but if not ill give you the basics. -Battery died after around 3 weeks no use -VW said everything was ok I just needed my battery charging corrected -VW charged battery correctly -Battery still died -VW blame...

Hi All, I have been perusing this thread, Flat battery and noticed that things had to be reset if you change your main starter battery. Does this apply to all T5/T6 models and if so can it be done with Carista rather than VCDS? A little more knowledge is always appreciated. Next is, what do the...

Took the old inside van panelling off the rear drivers side of my t6 LWB van today. Covered in sound deadening then insulation and put the panels back on (temporary until I carpet and replace with fitted panels) Notice the rear light cluster flickering. Checked the dash and when I turned...

Went on holiday a few months ago and the van was left parked at home for three weeks. Prior to going away I was doing a 42 mile drive to work every day so the battery was as charged as it could have been...no short journeys or having all the electrics on. I also have a spare battery fitted by...

Right second attempt at this thread... Let down really badly by Agnes this morning when she wouldn't start, all loaded up for a cycle ride and... nothing followed by random end of the world messages from the dash display. Thing is we were camping in her last weekend and will be off again in a...

Hi Guys, Been camping in the van over Easter and had a problem when I went to start it on Monday morning, it wouldn't. Luckily my sister had a batter changer with her and we got some charge into it and it then started. My question to the group is, when I am connected via 240v and the leisure...

I have a 2017 T6 102hp 28cwt with approx 10,000 miles. Converted to camper with solar panel fit courtesy of Vamoose. I had to have a new battery at start of 2019 due to dead battery. After recharge by AA and diagnostic checks they scrapped original battery and replaced with new Varta battery. My...

So, the battery failed on me 4 times, and VW still insist on having their dealers do “tests”. The last time, I had finished a survey on top of Mendip. Phoned local dealer about my appointment the following day for the tests, and went to start and nothing, with their service department actually...

Hi all, 2017 Highline, just seeing if anyone can throw a little light on an issue before I call VW Assist, the vehicle was purchased on my behalf in May 2018 by a camper conversion company and stood in there yard until approx beginning of Feb this year when it went in to there workshop for the...

As above ,I know this is not a T6 but it’s on my T5.1 ,this is after the battery went completely flat. The center back ground lights behind the rotary dials and the RNS 510 lights are the same,I have lost the heated seats (lights come on then go off) no reverse camera,error no blue tooth device...

Hi all, So i come out this morning and the van wont start just a weak chug. So is charging the battery straight forward on these vans? do i need to take it off? is there any Do's and Dont's Its a 2017 highline T6 with start stop if that makes any difference? I just know there is a lot of...

Hi peeps I haven't used the t6 for a month except for moving it on the drive a fortnight ago to wash it, jumped in it today and the battery was flat only showing 10.6v. It's a full camper with a solar panel, the leisure battery had 12.9 v, I take it the split charge only works one way? Do you...

Hi, new to this site so bear with me! I have had to jump start my T6 as a heated seat discharged the battery. The engine is now running and hopefully charging battery (higher revs) but I have no throttle so cannot drive it as yet. Will this fix itself and how long might it take - been running a...

I have noticed that my battery has been starting to struggle when the van has not been used for a few days. Van is an 18month old EU6 150. I have been away working over the weekend so the van was parked up from Friday afternoon until late Sunday evening. Low and behold it wouldn't start - not...

looking to install a hard wired connection to plug a trickle charge in. Positive wise I can attach to the battery however where does everyone connect the negative to that’s best as it’s obviously a no no connecting to the battery with all the signs on it
