hi all, I recently posted that VW have changed their above for a cambelt change at 125K miles only, with no time limit. My van (T6.1, T32, converted, Dec 19, 150/DSG) is coming out of warranty soon. So advice please - would you get this (Cambelt/pump) changed soon or not? What's your...

Hi everyone, I just purchased a t6 2019, 2.0 diesel It’s on 83k miles Should I look into having the cambelt done it hasn’t had one previously and I’m gonna turn it into my own camper van so Ideally I don’t want it blowing up. Many thanks

Seen a kombi '21 plate with 80k miles on it. I asked as part of the haggling with the dealer whether new cambelt could be fitted due to the milage/age. He said its 133k miles when it needs doing. Is this more or less the guidance now?

...a froend of mine took his to a dealer and was called halfwat through the work that they need to do a interim service as part of the cam-belt replacement when he had had that done only 6 months previous. I know they now say 120,000km with no time limit for a cambelt but I want peace of mind.

Hello all, Having my Cambelt and Waterpump replaced tomorrow along with Aux Belt & New tensioner. Local VW Specialist is £699 + £150 =£849.00 £849 inc VAT. Using genuine parts. It’s been a while since I’ve had a Cambelt (6 years and, I paid £480 all in last time). Is this the going rate?

Having discovered that VW has done away on the time element on cambelt changes due (it is rumoured to improvements in belts) I am wondering how I can make sure that I am buying a belt of the right quality? My original belt was a Dayco belt (with teflon finish on the teeth). Dayco list the...

Hi. I am looking to have my t5 cambelt changed,can anyone recommend a good independent garage in the Merseyside area Thanks.

Guys how much is a cambelt on a t6? I’ve had a quote to fix an oil leak above the cambelt, and change the cambelt and water pump at £950

I've just paid £1280 for cambelt kit, oil pump belt,front crank seal and haldex service. 6 year old t6 with 30k

Just got my 2017 t6 back after MOT, service , cambelt and water pump change. The garage dod the MOT yesterday and it passed no problem, after the service and cambelt change the brake lights wouldn't go off. They say they have checked and didn't damage anything. Nothing shows on diagnostics...

Hi all, Hoping for some wise advice. I’ve seen a 2017 plate kombi for sale. 72k miles. Owner says they’ve had the van since 2018 and bought direct from Leightons. Says Cambelt went around three months ago and it’s now had a full engine rebuild. Is this something to steer well clear of? Cheers

They should have also put a label/sticker on the cambelt cover with the date mileage it was changed.

Please PM me your chassis numer - I will give an extended answer on parts etc. There are some smart ways how to save.

I think its because the auxiliary belt gets forced in through the crankshaft seal (after snapping due to the forces exerted) ,behind the crankshaft pulley,interfering with the cambelt, and causing engine damage. EDIT , or rather pieces of said shredded belt

Yes, they don't give a reason why. They've also changed the cambelt change period to 125K miles, no specifics on period. Mines a 2019 T6.1

It didn't take the cambelt out then ?

Hi, First time changing a cambelt on a T6 (2019 startline). I have watched the well reviewed VAG video on youtube which i am following. However, I have lined the crank pulley up to the TDC mark on the casing and the locking pin slides into the cam pulley….great, but the HPFP mark is way off...

...the engine. The fans coming on does sound pretty strange though unless it it DPF regen related. Regarding the battery going flat, and the ABS lights, that sounds like something else, possibly relating to the work replacing the cambelt - maybe take it back to the cambelt guy to check their work.

Thanks for the suggestion but we had the cambelt done just after we bought it last year by a main dealer

Very lucky - it's a good warning for all of us though to keep an eye on the condition of aux belt and always get it replaced when the cambelt is changed or if it gets damaged in any way.
