Newbie from Cumbria!

Evening all
I introduced myself on here July/Aug time announcing how ‘over the moon’ I was to be picking up my T6 Kombi…..
So here I am a few weeks later and apart from a ABS sensor issue (resolved by you helpful lot) it been plain sailing
However (wishing I’d done my research first) I’ve since discovered quite a few horror stories about the 204 biturbo (what I’ve bought) which I was completely unaware of…..
Is there anybody out there with the same that haven’t suffer at the hands of these beasts? I’m desperately looking for some sort of good news from some owners to help put my mind at rest…..
Great forum BTW!!! Still finding my feet with it but you truly seem like great people!!!!!

Yours hopefully
Danny

- 204ps Bi-Turbo CXEB T6 Engine & Turbo problems - Looks like im the latest patient of the CEXB engine issues. (possibly the 2016-2018 range as there is a mention that the CXEB Block etc was revised in 2019) in sort it looks like its either Turbo or Engine failure. here is some background...

Thank you @monkeybusiness It was love at first sight haha
I’ve just wanted one for so long and never thought there would be problematic ones…… I've had a few VW’s in the past and they’ve always been super reliable hence not really doing much research. Hopefully I’ll be one of the lucky ones!
