sump plug

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...

Hi, Im going to have a go at changing the engine oil on my van as its due a service. However Im not sure what I need to remove the sump plug. I believe it is a hex key, but not sure what size. I cant find a sticker anywhere with the engine code on, but it is a 180bhp Euro 5 version with the...

On the occasion of the first replacement of the engine oil, he found that the thread of the cap seat needed a "carry over" when the cap was reinserted onto the oil sump. This has also happened on other T5 vans that have...

Hi all, I have read a few things about a mayonnaise looking deposit under the oil filler cap and it being attributed to the T6 engine running colder than other engines but never see any pictures. This is a picture of mine yesterday, is this what everyone is talking about or do I have a...

Now I've changed engine oil & filter in plenty of cars, but it's usually very easy to spot the oil filter location. Embarrassingly I'm struggling to find it(!). I've read the maintenance document available for download, found a pic on here on another thread, but I'm still looking. Can anyone...
