Cab Vibrations On 2018 Highline. Engine Missing Mounting Bolt?

[RedUn]

Change the oil, I changed mine at 8k and it made a big difference to the refinement and volume of the engine.

Infact have you checked the oil level? Might be worth a quick look

 

[LT2019]

Interesting, they did flag up it was at 75%. What are the service intervals?

 

[RedUn]

Check your dash, it tells you when the next one is due

If it's due soon then leave it but if its due in 8k, I'd change but that's just me...

 

[LT2019]

Oil service
@10300 mi/390 days
Inspection
@9100 mi/358 days

@RedUn Is this when it should be serviced or how many miles to the next service/inspection?

 

[RedUn]

Number of miles to next service, I'd change it now, I did mine around similar mileage and it was like a new engine after!

 

[LT2019]

@RedUn good advise, I’ll get it sorted. No need to take to dealer for that then? What oil do you recommend?

 

[RedUn]

Not at all, it's not technically part of the servicing so as long as you use vw approved parts it's all good, I did ask a dealership and they said it was a waste of money...its not their van though!

I went for the vw approved castrol 5w30, you'll need 2 bottles, Halfords trade card comes in handy if you have one

Ok, is it easy to change oil yourself or just best to take to a local trusted garage or van specialist?

Would love to start learning engines and trying to conduct some basic maintenance myself over time. My neighbour is a petrol head and is stripping down and rebuilding a 1970 mustang. Impressive how much he has done.

It's not difficult at all but depends on your confidence, I'd just take it a local garage if your not ready to tackle it yet, vw will charge you a lot... Or ask your neighbour

Ditto - I imagine your neighbour will be more than happy to help - people like that usually are. Once they’ve walked you through it, you’ll be surprised at how simple it is. A lot of maintenance bits are simple too, but just don’t come to mind.
Get yourself a Haynes manual and fire away.

Neighbour has already offered to help change the wheels over, so I’ll at least ask his advise. I’ll buy him a few beers!

 

[RedUn]

Beer solves everything!!

Hi, Bit of an old thread but did you ever figure this out? i have something similar but i think mine was caused by multiple things....i have had a wheel alignment and wheel balancing done, i also replaced a drive shaft which made it a lot better but its still there, I'm now leaning towards a wheel bearing as one has started to squeak / creak a bit so hoping that;s the answer.

Sorry long time ago, you forget what you write in these forums. I think it was just not used to driving a van to be honest. I don’t notice anything now. Had different suspension fitted since as well think that helped compared to the stock.
