I took delivery of my 67 reg DSG T6 in December 2017. I decided to add electric side door and tailgate with conversion to camper van in mind at a later date. After 12 to 18 months the coolant level indicator came on so I topped it up without thinking too much about it. Following that I...

Hi, My 204 kombi dsg is poorly sick. It broke down while on the motorway at about 75, heavy juddering and smoke from rear. Pulled over and really bad misfire. RAC diagnosed as turbo to get me home to the NW from Brighton. Garage diagnosed EGR valve, replaced and no better. They then swapped...

Can anybody tell me what the turbo boost pressure is (Max) on a 150 bhp turbo?

As of yesterday there is a strange whirring noise from the turbo, it does this when stationery and also when driving. I'm fairly sure it did not sound like this until yesterday. Also when stationery I have noticed the engine will only rev up to 2,500 rpm, unfortunately I can't remember if it...

I'm really sorry if there is a "howto" PDF somewhere but my searches aren't throwing it up. I am a VIP member and cant seem to find any information in there either. Is there such a document/Guide?? I have a flashing glow plug light and the readout from a friends (non VW specialist) computer...

I've been having a bit of a argument with a lad from work regarding my t6 turbo! Mines faulty and it's getting replaced now he seems to think a t5 turbo will be exactly the same as mine and there only £300 to buy brand new I've told him the t5 came in a 1.9 and 2.5 from what I understand so how...

Hi all, Wondering how the turbos are cooled on the 204 engine, engine oil or engine coolant? Is there a pump timer to cool the turbos after driving? My audi would have a coolant pump that ran for about 5 mins after shutdown to cool the turbos. Thanks in advance

I seem to have what I initially thought was an exhaust leak, but after further investigation sounds more like an air leak round the right rear back side of the engine. I wouldn't ordinarily be concerned and just get it into VW to looked at. (It's actually the first issue I've ever had with my...

Just bought a T30 2013, (NEW SHAPE), was hoping people in this T6 forum could advise as it's similar van etc. I bought it for £6900, 170k, 1 previous owner (leasing company), body is tidy and everything seemed fine. 3rd day driving it, not an issue at all, pulling well, was just driving on...

So today I’ve been pulling some heavy loads and while I’ve been slowly manoeuvring the trailer in either 1st or reverse gear, I’m hearing what sounds like a loud turbo “wehrr” When I turn the engine off it really makes a noise like I’ve got a turbo the size of a bucket. Do I have a pipe leak...
