    Buying first Transporter to convert - good price?

    ...had 2 bald front tyres and only a months MOT left on it so I got them to rectify that, and service it. Check reviews online for the dealer. Cambelts are every 140,000 miles, oil service is every 2 years or 10,000 miles. As said check service history, they no longer have a service book, it's...

    Vw t5.1 engine sound.

    Possibly timing belt tensioner pulley on its way out. When was the cambelt last done?

    For Sale Swap my wheels?

    Nice wheels, but not load rated if that bothers you.

    T6 for evaluation

    It's too far away. Keep looking. You want something local. Within 40mins driving distance or less. That van needs new cambelt and water pump in my opinion. The dealer has the advantage here as you are likely an obvious desperate buyer so you have no leverage at all if you go look at it, and if...

    Engine Oil Help Please?

    ...many miles I intend to do over the winter I don't know if its worth it. Do many of you switch through out the year? Also wondered what the cambelt change mileage is? I done my Transit at 40,000 as have heard some horror stories (although that is a wetbelt). Am hoping it's just a toothed...

    To buy or not to buy? Crankshaft seal leak

    Very common problem. If you are replacing, you will end up replacing the cambelt and water pump at the same job.

    Want to be T6 owner!

    ...had any problems with non-DPF/adblue diesels in past, had old transit connect for a number of years and l200s. Thanks for your comments re. cambelt/haldex - that's reassuring to know, not long had cambelt done on mitsi and wasn't the cheapest of jobs so good to hear from you guys to follow...

    Rumble..

    ...- if it wasn't fitted the torque of the diesel engine would make for a jerky engagement and puts excess stress through the gearbox so just drive it steady. I managed fine with my old T5.1 for months whilst I saved up for a new clutch & DMF - had the cambelt & water pump done all at the same time.

    Main dealer hourly rate...

    I know it sounds like a line from "Would I Lie To You?" but that is what he said as apparently the belt was the noise I could hear, I'm hoping it's racing grease and good for at least another 50hp but reckon it's probably more like the rosin you put on violin strings.

    80k miles / looking to buy / cambelt?

    I’m fully aware of the Cambelt topic and how it differed to the rest of Europe. For me personally I maintain my vehicles regularly with regular sometimes unnecessary services etc but was the way I was brought up with my dad a mad car enthusiast. I’ve had 3 transporters and have never paid...

    Where Have You Been In Your Van Today?

    Check your front crank seal before it goes the garage to mate. They are common for leaking, I’m sure there is a thread on here about it. Crank seal can be seen from drivers side wheel arch.

    Sad day, even more money.

    ...previous works inc brand new sport line wheels, well looked after. All work was previously carried out by main dealers so I've just kept that up with new cambelt and EGR. The service manager took a keen interest it yesterday and said they've had a look over it and said its mint considering...
