- coolant fault codes recall t6.1
Hi. What was the outcome of this? Think I have the same issue.
Having the same issue. Would be great to hear about the outcome. Can you drive with the fault until its fixed?
Yes I erased it with my OBD reader but it popped again still in orange not green so I booked it into the dealers. Took it in they plugged in the diagnostic and said it was an engine coolant bypass valve which basically is what the OBD reader has read. As they did not stock the part, they gave me another date ath following week and got it sorted. It was in for about four hours to change the part and wash the van.
it has done just over 2000miles since and it is ok. The said try not to use it a lot on short runs as this could have been the problem, but still it was covered under warranty.

Guy also said as it had turn red then he would had advised not to use it, but as it was orange he said it would be ok Till the part arrived.
It's also part of a "common fault bulletin" at VW but isn't a recall. 2022 T6.1

Just had mine done (P26AB and P26B1 errors).
VW Assist guy said it had to be done at dealers as has to be kept under as much of a vacuum whilst doing it.
Not sure how much of a vacuum, or what they need the vacuum for, but crux was that with the T6.1 (possibly T6 also), needs to be done at dealers. Don't shoot the messenger - just passing on the info I got.
