servicing

Hi All. I have a euro 5 T6. Thinking of doing a service at home. Thinking oil change, oil filter, air filter. Anything else? What oil are we all using? Any specific brand for air filters and oil filter? Looking at going to euro at parts to acquire.

Hi all! I'm new to the forum and transporters (other than a T2 family van until I was 10!) and trying to buy a Euro 6 T6 kombi. 2016/17 is the age I'm looking at with my budget. I've seen a nice 2016 factory kombi, 110k miles. The first service wasn't till 18k miles and the second at 33k...

For those who do their own oil changes - do you use a pump to get the old oil out from the filler or dump it into a tray / container from the bottom. When it comes to the filter, are there any special tools needed? Sorry for the idiot questions but I'm a complete mechanical numpty and you've...

Just thought you might want to know had a DSG service and replament of plug in the end of the gearbox today, main dealer price was £376 all in. Less than I thought the plug was £8 for the part woulddefo do that myself if it leaked again. Jay

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.

My T6 has done 26k miles in 3 years. VW are emailing me saying it needs a brake fluid change is this correct and how much are they likely to charge? thanks

2018 T6 I need some help with the coolant used in my Webasto Thermo Top Evo it is a heater & supplies hot water. The coolant level in the header tank has dropped below the Minimum mark. also noticed that the coolant in the header tank is moving about when the heater is on. The coolant is blue...

In the not too distant future, I intend to replace my rear disks and pads,Brembo. While I'm at it I will also replace the brake fluid. Is the sequence for bleeding, rear offside, rear nearside, front offside and front nearside? I'm just going off the position of the abs not the cylinder. Thanks...

Is anyone changing the rear diff oil on a 4motion? I'm not talking about the Haldex oil. I bought a 2018 T6 T32 LWB Kombi, 4motion, 204hp, DSG with VW FSH, 39k miles from a small trader in Dec 2023. 3 weeks later I popped into my local van centre and they offered me a warranty/service...

Our T6.1 was registered on the 31st May 2023 and I’ve just received a call from VW saying it’s ready for its first service in April! What’s the general service interval? It’s done 6800 miles if that matters. Thanks all.

My van is due a service. Can anyone recommend a trust worthy and decent garage in / near Aylesbury, Bucks? Happy to travel to Milton Keynes (go to the office there sometimes) or any surrounding areas to Aylesbury. Thanks!

So... I have seen the threads about Service Plans and would like to have a bit of peace of mind...... I have a 21 plate T6.1, which was registered March 21. I want to get it serviced before the 3 year warranty runs out, in case of anything being picked up. It is not due for a service for some...

Hi guys I’m new to the forum. I recently carried out my first oil and filter change since buying my T6. I noticed on all the previous main dealers oil services that they charged for a new sump plug. So naturally assuming it had a crush washer I purchased one with the oil filter. However on...

Can anyone recommend a transporter specialist in or near Milton Keynes please?

Hi all, the campervan is due for its 1st service (got VW service plan). Any recommendations for VW Van dealership in North Wales area. The closest to myself is Aberystwyth and Wrexham. Wrexham slightly easier to get there. Any reviews on Wrexham van centre?

The Vehicle Tuner - Vehicle Tuning Warrington I'd been considering a map for a while but had an issue with clutch judder which was putting me off pulling the trigger. My mechanic wasn't sure it was a worn clutch/DMF with only 60k on the clock so we tried a few things with no luck before...

My van is shortly 4 years old (June 2023) so I am aware MOT, timing belt, water pump, aux belt and DSG service are required. But, I also *assume* an engine service (minor or major) is also due. I bought it approved used at 3 years old (June 2022j and it had just been MOT’d for the first time. I...
