I bought my T6 Kombi last week (privately) and noticed it made a low whirring sound that varied with engine speed when low speed manoeuvring. It was pretty quiet though and I was probably too excited so didn't somehow think to mention it at the time. I notice it again today and realised it only...

Hi all, just got back from my local garage having popped in to see if they could look at a strange whining noise coming from the engine bay, I am not at all technical with vehicles. I am told now that the steering rack is leaking fluid after only 28,000 miles! This seems very low mileage for a...

I'm new to this forum and I have a T6 204 DSG LWB kombie MY17. It's just returned from its 40k service and the technician has advised there is a whinning noise from the aux belt area. It's not something I've noticed myself, should I be concerned? Although I was advised to get it booked in at a...

My clutch is slipping with only 9k on the clock and I can’t help wondering if it’s my fault :( I use clutch control quite often which I’m sure doesn’t help and until now I have been guilty of lightly resting my foot on clutch pedal. Is the pedal to sensitive for that? That said I have already...
